Dr. Diane Mueller discusses a genetic variant affecting about 24% of people that impairs the immune system's ability to tag and remove mold toxins and heavy metals. Susceptible people reach symptom-producing toxin levels faster, though anyone can accumulate enough exposure to get sick.
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. So it's really important to understand that. So when we're talking about the buildup of some of these toxins, what we're really talking about is total body burden. See, the body has a lot of mechanisms for when toxins come in and getting the toxins out. So it's always this. This dance, right? We all get exposed to toxins every day. So ideally, what we want to have happen is toxin comes in, toxin goes out, and basically the body is always managing that. But if we have a situation where we get exposed over and over and over again and the toxin comes in so much and the body can only remove so much of it, we have this gap. And that's basically where we say sometimes in health and medicine, that the total body burden of the toxins, the total amount that is filling our toxic cup, has now gotten so high that it's difficult to actually remove the toxin. And that's where we can get symptoms. Now, you don't have to have the genetics that I'm talking about. You don't have to have the genetic anomaly for this to happen. Sometimes the toxic load is just more than our body can keep up with. But if you do have the genetic that I'm talking about, it makes you more susceptible for these toxins building up faster because you don't have that ability for your liver and for your immune system to actually properly break down and get rid of these things because your immune system does not see them. So this can be explained sometimes why two people have a similar type of mold exposure or a similar type of exposure to other environmental toxins. And one person basically gets sick and they have symptoms the other person does not. That oftentimes explains is explained by the fact that one person has a genetic anomaly where their immune system has a harder time breaking down the toxins and seeing the toxins. That person has a much lower threshold of the toxins that they can be exposed to and deal with. This is in contrast to the another person who has tons of healthy genes and they're breaking down toxins totally fine. And that person typically can handle a larger load before their total body burden gets high enough that they get symptoms. But either way, either the genetic susceptible person or not either way, either type of person can have situations where toxicity has built up higher in their body than their body can handle due to this total body burden issue. That's it for now. If you like this information, please subscribe. See you in the next video.
