What are the mold wars, what's the controversy and what are we talking about right now? There's a lot of controversy and debate even in the functional medicine world about mold. How you diagnose it, how you treat it, what do you do about it. So this series we're talking about right now is going to take a deep, deep dive into the controversies in the mold world. Diagnosis, treatment, what it is and how you can deal with it. I need to start with a few caveats. The first caveat is this is a little bit higher level. So for those of you who aren't familiar with mold biotoxin related illness series, if this is your first introduction to it, I recommend you reading our blog series on our website first to take a dive into what actually is chronic inflammatory response syndrome and learn more about it. We've also done multiple other blogs on the website as well that talk about this topic of mold. And so you need to have a basic understanding first. So if as you listen to this, read this, digest this, if you don't quite understand where it's being talked about, I recommend those first. This is actually meant a little deeper level for those who want to take a deep dive into some of the controversies in molding.
