I can’t get enough

Maybe there is something wrong with me?

OK.

Sorry for the Click Bait.

Just me making fun.

I came back from a conference in NYC and a week later I spent most of this past weekend watching presentations from an online functional medicine conference. Unfortunately I missed Fridays presentations due to my work schedule. Most of the presentations were on COVID and Long COVID, which I am an avid reader of. I believe I get a link to watch all the presentations again if I choose in a few weeks, so if I have time…..

For today though I think I will just leave you with some tidbits and pearls from the online conference.

Statin drugs appear to be byproducts of mold, i.e. mycotoxins, i.e. toxins. These mycotoxins look similar to cholesterol and can trick the body into not using cholesterol as it should.

Sulfation reactions are important for healthy detoxification as well as for a healthy endothelium ( the cells that line your arteries and veins). Epsom salt baths and the amino acid Taurine can be helpful.

Autism has skyrocketed beginning around 1990. Of interest that is about the same time that Monsanto chemical company brought Roundup onto the market big time which is sprayed on almost all non-organic crops in the USA. Roundup otherwise known as Glyphosate messes up not only our cells but also those of the Gut microbiome. So the question that many are asking is if Glyphosate is one of the large factors in increasing Autism rates in the USA.

When detoxing from Mold, you should first make sure your liver is working well and able to handle to detox strategies that come next, otherwise you may have a higher risk of side effects from any mold remediation of your body.

Many functional docs today seem to like the following for Gut health.

GLUTAMINE

BUTYRATE

CREATINE

Consider Vagal Stimulation for sensitive patients and those with high fight or flight and anxious lives.

Epsom salt baths can be very helpful for detoxification.

If you have a bad reaction to Quercetin you may have Salicylate intolerance.

60% of fecal dry mass is bacteria

Elevated B vitamins on lab tests when not using supplements could be from an imbalance in gut microbiome as gut bacteria are making more B’s which show up in our blood.

Multiple Sclerosis is associated with Mold.

Keto low carb higher fat diets are low in Glyphosate. If you eat plants eat organic.

Bloating and Gas can be from excess Glyphosate altering gut microbes which produce more gas.

This pic is a good reason why I like Functional Medicine.
