Ashok Gupta says mold itself isn't the main problem—it's how your brain reacts to it. He recommends reducing mold exposure where you can, but the real work is retraining your brain to stop overreacting to small traces that may be harmless.
Now people talking about mould and is mould dangerous? Look, obviously we are looking to reduce our exposures to mould as much as is physically possible to reduce the actual external trigger. But also it's recognizing that the brain is overreacting to that mould. So at one point in time, it may well have had a high exposure to mold, which it felt was very dangerous and therefore it created this allergic response. But now even small traces of mold, it will overreact and those small traces of mould may well be safe for you. The only reason they feel unsafe is because you're having this reaction. So it really is trading the brain that we are safe whilst minimizing the amount you have in your home as much as is comfortable.
