Got the Gene? Understanding Mold and Metal Sensitivity

Hey, everybody. Dr. Diane Mueller here. And in this video, we're going to talk about mold and toxic metals, and who has a tendency to actually develop symptoms from exposure from things like mold toxins, as well as from toxic metals. So, first of all, there is a genetic anomaly that many people have. It affects actually about 24% of this population. And this genetic anomaly makes it so our immune system cannot appropriately tag certain toxins. When the immune system cannot appropriately tag certain toxins, it does not actually have the ability to remove them. It's like it doesn't see them. So this is a fairly common genetic abnormality. Now, just because somebody has the gene for one of these situations, like I'm talking about, does not mean they develop the disease. Right. Sometimes we can have a gene, but if the gene's not active, we don't actually get the disease.
