Mold Related Illness: An Introduction to an Integrative Approach

The toxins produced by mold, known as mycotoxins, are associated with a broad array of symptoms. This often causes people suffering from their effects to seek medical attention from many different medical providers. Due to the unusual nature of their complaints and lack of abnormalities on traditional lab analysis, the correct diagnosis is often not made. These patients may present to complementary medicine providers (acupuncturists, herbalists, energy workers, etc) as the conventional medical system has failed to provide them with any relief. It is important for all healthcare providers to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of mycotoxin related illness so that patients can begin the appropriate lifestyle measures and treatments to regain their optimal state of wellness.
