Robert Whitfield MD explains how mold toxins damaged his health, causing fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and cognitive problems before age 30. Mycotoxins disrupt mitochondria and hormone systems. He says recurrent strep throat can signal mold exposure, and earlier bedroom testing might have caught it sooner.
And this is why it's so pernicious. It affects hormone systems and most mycotoxins affect the mitochondria in the body. And it's kind of obvious because penicillin is a mold toxin, right. You know, we discovered on cantaloupe and that's where antibiotics came from. Well, your mitochondria are ancient bacteria, so there's a multi billion year old war between bacteria and fungus. So if you're breathing antibiotics, which is what mold makes, well, no wonder it's messing with you. And in my case, you, my mitochondria were running very, very low. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, pre diabetes, massive cognitive issues before I was 30 and I had to dig my way out of that. And this is how important it can be. And if we just knew what it was, the fact I had strep throat all the time, my doctors, if they'd have known this back then, they should have said, you know, you need to get a mold test in your bedroom because normal healthy kids don't get strep throat every month. Strep throat is a response to mold in the environment.
