All right, we got a good question here from Curly Q. And she is still trying to evaluate if this is a factor in family health issues and how to best handle. If you see a lot of family members with. It doesn't have to be same issues. It could just be health issues. But in kids, sometimes you'll see the same issues popping up. But if your family is known as the sick family, or your kids aren't getting better, or you're having migraines and your husband's having brain fog and it just feels like something about your family is off, it's definitely worth considering mold and ruling that in or out, because it's one of those things that can. Everyone's breathing it in in the house. Now, don't get this as a topic for another story about how men are the last to be affected because testosterone is mycotoxin protective in the body. And that's why you have the men that aren't really affected as much. So then that can turn into not believing you or think the kids are fine and grow out of it. And that's another good video answer to address the men to make them understand that they're getting off a little bit easier than everyone else. Not that they're safe, but they're usually the last to go down. So they have to be respectful of their wife and their children's health issues and make sure they do everything they can to help them along. But if your family seems like one of those families that are having those issues, rule it in or out, okay? Because if it is a problem, it's only going to keep getting worse and you're going to keep spiraling. If you rule it out, it's worth the investment you spent. Because if it was a problem, you could have paid dearly by staying in that and not resolving that issue. So the quickest and easiest way is pick someone that's the most symptomatic, someone that seems off the most, and do a mycotoxin test. Okay? Now, my Q and A number two is how to test for mold. And there I'm talking about mycotoxins, not actual mold colonization, which is when we use an organic acid test. But pick one of the kids or yourself or your husband, whoever's symptomatic and kind of feels the worst, and do a urine mycotoxin lab. So this is an easy lab fasting urine test. You're going to avoid a couple foods, binders, things like that for a couple, two, three days ahead of time. But other than that, it's a simple urine test, and we get your results in about two to two and a half weeks. Right now is how long the lab's taking. But I'm glad that you're considering mold because so many people don't know, because no medical doctor, almost no medical doctor will ever say, hey, have you considered you're living in a moldy house? This sounds like mold. Okay? So I'm glad you're thinking about it, and it's worth ruling it in or out for your family with a simple mycotoxin lab.
