Good Health Starts in Your Home
Mold and Your Health
• Indoor moisture • Humidity above 50% • Mold spores travel -- especially after being treated with bleach • Mold hides inside air vents and walls, especially in bathrooms with vinyl wallpaper
Molds produce mycotoxins: • Potent toxic chemicals • Can trigger everything from asthma to cancer • Makes Lyme & any autoimmune disease worse
Molds also produce xenoestrogens — • Act like estrogen, but up to 1000x more potent. • Can disrupt hormone levels and cause serious problems, like weight gain and decreased fertility.
How Fast Can Mold Grow?
Within 24 - 48 hours Begins to colonize in 1- 12 days
Causes: Flooding Plumbing leaks Sprinkler spray hitting house Leaky Roof Damp basement/crawl space High humidity Wet clothes drying indoors Look for: Swollen floor boards/walls Water stained ceilings Condensation on windows
To keep mold out of your home... • Pay attention to damp areas: Basements, kitchens, and bathrooms • Clean up water and fix any leaks • If there’s a leak, find the source!! • Try straight Hydrogen Peroxide, or White Vinegar or water + Tea Tree Oil in spray bottle for small areas. Chlorine Dioxide another option for larger areas.

What to Know to Get Rid of It and to Get/Stay Healthy
• Get out of the contaminated environment! (Find a safe space in your home that is mold free) • Avoid exposure to things like books and clothing from that environment • Do air quality (ERMI) or lift tape test or hire a professional to measure. • If severe, get a professional to remove it • Run a dehumidifier • Don’t turn up the heat in a moldy area
• Work with an allergist or naturopathic doctor - check bloodwork for inflammatory markers - urine test to check for mold in your gut - test for candida • Get a good quality air filter • Sweat -- Infrared sauna
