There’s more to mold than meets the eye.

Mold spores also release toxins called mycotoxins into the air, which are invisible and harder to detect. They have no odor, whereas active mold spores typically smell and are bigger.

Perhaps you or a loved one has tried to live a clean, active, healthy lifestyle, but strange symptoms and health concerns have prevailed. Or maybe you started experiencing major health issues and haven’t found an answer as to why they started.

Many of our patients in the clinic have already seen several different doctors or practitioners who were unable to diagnose and treat their “mysterious” conditions. Sometimes they have tried to recover through supplements and medications, but they’ve seen little to no improvement.

These are scenarios we hear frequently, and mold is one of the most common causes of mysterious ailments and reasons why patients are prevented from living a healthy, energetic life.

In this article, we’re focusing on mold, mycotoxins, sources of exposure, and common symptoms of mold toxicity.

Mold, Mycotoxins, Sources of Exposure, and Common Symptoms of Mold Toxicity - Restorative Health Solutions Dr. Paul explains how mold, mycotoxins, sources of exposure can lead to mold toxicity, along with explaining some symptoms of mold exposure.

No matter which Lyme protocol you choose to follow, it’s imperative to incorporate immune and detoxification support.

Suppose you’re only addressing the problem with antibiotics. Or perhaps you’re only implementing other types of killers (i.e., types of antimicrobials and antibacterials). In that case, your body will take a massive hit. This is because you’re not providing the support it needs in combination with the heavy hitters.

It might be tempting to feel discouraged, but there are several things that have shown promise in killing persister cells.

Several studies have come out from Johns Hopkins to help us identify what drugs and herbs work. While this is by no means an exhaustive list, it’s helpful to know how these tested subjects worked in combatting these cells.

Johns Hopkins has tested around 100 different herbs for Lyme as well as a few for Bartonella. From the results of these studies, we know the following herbs have been shown to be effective against Lyme: Oregano, cloves, cinnamon, garlic, skullcap, Japanese knotweed, cryptolepis, Artemisia, and myrrh.

We use many of these herbs in our protocols to help patients who have been dealing with these chronic bugs.

Why is there a distinct difference between acute Lyme disease and chronic Lyme disease?

Why is it that the antibiotics effective at treating Lyme cases caught right away aren't effective after the infection has been present for a few months?

Time for a little Q&A.

One of the most common questions we get asked by new patients is why they weren’t able to effectively put their chronic-stage tick-borne illnesses into remission while taking antibiotics; and why the symptoms came back to bite them after they stopped antibiotic treatment.

A common misconception is that the same drugs used to help acute-stage Lyme disease will work at any stage. This assumption isn’t accurate. The thought behind this is, “If doxycycline works well for acute Lyme, why isn’t it working for my chronic Lyme?”

During the acute stage of Lyme disease, antibiotics (typically doxycycline) can work wonderfully to eradicate the burgeoning bacteria. However, after you enter the chronic stage, which occurs between three-to-six months after receiving the infected bite, the bacteria have morphed into a stationary form.

In this state, the effectiveness of many antibiotics plummets. This is because the bugs have entered their persister form and have become more resistant to many antibiotics. In other words, once these acute infections morph into another form, entering into a chronic state, it will take much longer than a quick, two-week course of antibiotics to solve the problem.

What can help for an acute Lyme disease infection might not help with a chronic case.

Why is this? Why do standard antibiotics become so much less effective a few months after getting infected with Lyme?

How do you get better from Lyme? You need to do three things:

➔ Support the immune system (because it’s currently losing the fight)
➔ Dissolve biofilms and directly attack/kill the Lyme bacteria and co-infections
➔ Repair the parts of your body that have been damaged

Any approach that does not effectively address all of these areas is not a complete program.

Over the last 10 years, Dr. Warren has worked on building the most efficacious protocol that produces the fewest side effects. We firmly believe an herbal approach adjusted to your individual needs is the fastest, most scientific way to heal from chronic Lyme and that it produces the fewest side effects possible.

Many of the patients who come to Restorative Health Solutions have seemingly tried everything to regain their health. They've diligently followed all the trendiest diets, they've taken sugar out, they've tried to heal their hormones, they've taken probiotics, and they've tried to get rid of inflammation. So why aren't their worthy attempts working?

Read some reasons why in this week's article, "Test, Don't Guess!"

Here are the eight different categories we consider when it comes to testing:

Food: This includes testing food allergies and food sensitivities.

Imbalance of the microbiome and infections: Using high-quality blood, stool, and organic acids testing, we check for infections and see if there’s an imbalance in your microbiome.

Toxicity: When we’re concerned symptoms may be caused by toxin overload, we like to check the levels of certain toxins, chemicals, mold, or heavy metals in your body.

Nutritional deficiencies: We check intracellular micronutrient levels to ensure your body is getting all the vital nutrients and minerals it needs to function optimally.

Stress and cortisol: Testing for adrenal function is necessary when stress and cortisol levels may be to blame for digestive distress.

Hormonal imbalances: Hormone imbalances can cause digestive problems like nausea, bloating, and more symptoms. Hormones also include organs like the thyroid.

Anemia: Anemia is where we have low red blood cells, low hematocrit, or low hemoglobin. This is so important because it’s extremely difficult to get better when you have anemia.

Blood sugar imbalance: Blood sugar imbalances can include conditions like prediabetes, diabetes, insulin resistance, hypoglycemia, where blood sugar is too low, or reactive hypoglycemia, where blood sugar goes up quickly and then tanks quickly, like a roller coaster.

Why is accurate testing imperative when you're suffering from troublesome symptoms?

In this short video, Dr. Paul explains the importance testing plays in functional medicine.

Test, Don't Guess! Dr. Paul explains why it's so important to test and not guess when it comes to health conditions and recovery methods.

Everyone has different food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, genetics, microbiomes, stress, cortisol, hormone levels, etc. This is why functional medicine is a one-size-fits-one approach and not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Because of this, we develop an individualized, personalized plan for you, and only you.

In the clinic, one of our favorite statements is “Test, don’t guess!”

Why is accurate testing so important when figuring out the cause(s) of your symptoms?

During initial phone consultations and visits, people mention all the things they have tried in their attempts at abating symptoms and improving health. Despite their dedication to following health suggestions and various diets they’ve discovered online or in a doctor’s office, they’ve been met with little to no success. If they notice any improvements, these are often short-lived and their symptoms return with a vengeance soon after stopping their strict regimen.

Unfortunately, while many of the health tips they have tried can be good and helpful, their attempts have been centered on guessing. Very little testing has been done, and these patients are just guessing at what might help their suffering bodies.

Learn from Dr. Paul why testing and not guessing is so crucial when seeking answers for health problems in this week's video and article.

While diet alone can’t heal you from Lyme disease and co-infections, we're not telling you to eat Twinkies all day. No matter what condition you may face, your diet will impact your overall health and well-being.

Of all the inflammatory foods to avoid, we advise patients to limit sugar and processed foods. Sugar is the biggest thing you need to look out for when dealing with any infection, Lyme included.

Two hundred years ago, Americans, on average, ate two pounds of sugar per year. In 1970, Americans were up to eating 123 pounds of sugar per year, and in recent years, Americans are up to eating at least 152 pounds of sugar per year.

Eating 152 pounds of sugar each year isn’t as difficult to accomplish as you might assume. You don’t have to eat candy every day to get there. From baked goods to processed food (even processed meat!), salad dressing to ketchup, and fruit juice to soft drinks, almost everything on grocery store shelves contains added sugar because sugar is highly addictive, and adding sugar to products means customers will crave and buy that food even more. It’s also been a leading factor in our nation’s health epidemic.

With all the diets out there, which diet is best for patients with chronic Lyme disease and co-infections? And can diet alone help you recover from Lyme and tick-borne illnesses?

Dr. Warren weighs in on these and many other food-related questions in this week's video.

When you combine the toxicity of too much sugar with infectious bacteria, you’re only adding to your toxic load.

Sugar and processed food are the most important things to avoid if you have Lyme disease or co-infections. Minimize sugar as much as possible.
