Do Doctors Make You Feel Crazy?
Do you have a mysterious illness that’s been plaguing you for weeks, months, or even years? Do you feel tired, run down, congested? Are you experiencing the infamous brain fog? The truth is that these symptoms could be caused by any number of conditions, but a common cause that most don’t know about is mold. Ubiquitous in temperate climates (i.e. most of North America!), mold can grow in walls, carpets, books, and even clothing. You may not know it’s there. If you tend to feel better when you leave your house, mold could be the hidden source of your mystery ills.
So You’ve Got Mold…Now What?
Mold is everywhere, and it’s a serious health concern. But how do you protect yourself? How do you recover if you’re already experiencing the damaging effects of mold and what causes it anyway? Do you douse your belongings in bleach? Do you sell everything you own? Burn the house down? Luckily, these extreme "solutions" are not necessary. There’s a better way that will allow you to stay in your home, keep your possessions, and experience improved health, all without the use of harsh chemicals.
Reclaim Your Health
First of all, you’ll need to know if mold is actually present in your home. Think you need an expensive professional for that? Think again. You can be your own mold detective. After detection, it’s time for clean-up, but again, there’s no need for a chemical bath. Natural cleaners have actually proven to be more effective than bleach. If all this sounds a bit overwhelming, fear not. Joey Lott has laid out a practical step-by-step plan to help you clean up the mold in your life and get your health back on track. Follow the plan in The Mold Cure and you’ll be breathing easy and thinking clearly in no time.

The Mold Cure: Natural and Effective Solutions to Mold Growth, Allergies, and Mycotoxins, by Joey Lott About the Author
"The secret to happiness is to let go of everything - see through every assumption."
Beginning at a young age Joey Lott experienced intensifying anxiety. For several decades he lived with restrictive eating disorders, obsessions, compulsions, and an inescapable fear. By the time he was 30 years old he was physically sick, emotionally volatile, and mentally obsessed with keeping any and all unwanted thoughts and experiences at bay.
At this time Lott was living on a futon mattress in a tiny cabin in the woods. He was so sick that he could barely move. He was deeply depressed and hopeless. All this despite doing all the "right" things such as years of meditation, yoga, various "perfect" diets, clean air, and pure water.
Just when things were at their most dire, a crack appeared in the conceptual world that had formerly been mistaken for reality. By peering into this crack and underneath all the assumptions that had been unquestioned up to that moment, Lott began a great undoing. The revelation of this undoing is that reality is utterly simple, ever-present, seamless, and indivisible.
Lott's books provide a glimpse into the seamless, simple, and joyous nature of reality, offering a glimpse through the crack in conceptual worlds. Whether writing about the ultimate non-dual nature of reality, eating disorders, stress, disease, or any other subject, he offers the invitation to look at things differently, leaving behind the old, out-grown, painful limitations we have used to bind ourselves in suffering. And then, he welcomes you home to the effortless simplicity of yourself as you are.
Not sure where to begin? Pick up a copy of Lott's most popular book, You're Trying Too Hard, which strips away all the concepts that keep us searching for a greater, more spiritual, more peaceful life or self.

22 of 25 people found the following review helpful. had many severe problems with this book By swish Matt Stone and Joey Lott have a cottage industry telling people that things other people in the health community say to watch out for are in fact not that important.On one hand, it's good that they are taking a stand for adequate calorie consumption, something that can be important for people dealing with chronic conditions. On the other hand, their advice could be dangerous if they are encouraging complacency about well-founded concerns.There's a reason that people are concerned about mold. It can disable people. I would know, because I became disabled from mold exposure (from living in a building when it had water damage). I now deal with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), something that should be discussed in this book but is not. It seems that mold alone might be enough to cause myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), with reports of patients who improve dramatically from leaving moldy environments (and doing far more to avoid and detoxify mold toxins than Lott describes in this book):See: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/what-is-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-and-why-arent-we-doing-more-to-treat-the-illness/2014/10/06/4cfff312-d458-11e3-8a78-8fe50322a72c_story.html)Some problems I had with the book:-The biggest issue is that Lott sticks to the idea that there is no proof that mycotoxins from a moldy home can make you sick. I am going to be laughing for the next week over this. This idea has been thoroughly discredited by thousands of patients through their lab tests and responses to treatment, not to mention scientific research. Keep this in mind if you read the book: the author does not think there is credible evidence that mycotoxins from homes can make you sick. Thus, the rest of the recommendations are correspondingly casual. He says to be prudent but not afraid. Sorry, mold exposure in your home, especially if you are having health symptoms, IS something to be afraid about. You can become disabled or sick long-term.-Also, keep in mind that the author says worrying about gluten isn't necessary and all we need to do is to eat more calories. Many people with chronic inflammatory conditions find that avoiding gluten is critical. Mold toxins themselves can increase gluten sensitivity. So if you believe that gluten can be a problem for some people, you might not agree with this book.-Lott claims that systemic fungal infection is unlikely except in those with extremely compromised immune systems (e.g. untreated AIDS). Why, then, do so many mold patients respond favorably to antifungals, anti fungal herbs and supplements, and so forth? Mold itself can compromise the immune system, so anyone with a lot of exposure and mold-sensitive HLA genes could be immunocompromised and susceptible to fungal infection, particularly in the sinuses (See this research paper: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3920250/)-"As I have mentioned, it is possible, though not likely, that you may have a mycotoxin load in your body. Many `experts' in the field of mold and health overstate the likelihood of a mycotoxin burden, playing on fear...."So this is how we are going to handle the large amount of suffering that many mold-susceptible people face when they are poisoned with mold toxins, have reduced visual acuity (as measured by the VCS test), and have to spend years (yes, often years) reducing the mycotoxin burden in their body in order to have a reduction of symptoms? Just by saying it's not likely and that it's overstated?And discrediting the experts in this field, whom patients greatly appreciate for tackling the problem, by claiming they are "playing on fear?" I know many mold doctors and would not say that they do that. They take on these difficult patients and try to help them the best they can.Also, what on earth does he mean about "there is simply no credible evidence to date showing that there is a likelihood of developing a mycotoxin burden in a moldy home." Quoting the science that was created specifically to protect insurance companies from claims, I see (watch Black Mold Exposure documentary to learn more about this).... This is just not true. There are so many patients with documented elevated levels of mycotoxins (e.g., measured from RealTime labs, evidence sometimes used in legal proceedings) from living in water-damaged buildings.Lott seems misinformed about methods of detoxifying mold toxins.-Sure, it is difficult to take glutathione orally. However s-acetyl-glutathione has good oral absorption, and there are also glutathione IVs, which have helped many people. Dave Asprey recommends liposomal glutathione. It's also possible to administer glutathione rectally, e.g., in low-volume coffee enemas. There are plenty of ways that glutathione itself can be used for mycotoxin detoxification.-Lott recommends just drinking or eating small amounts of turmeric. Never mind that it has very bad absorption unless mixed with oil or black pepper or taken in a liposomal or extract form (e.g., Biocurcumin, Meriva curcumin, Theracurmin). This is simply bad advice.-Lott says that Shoemaker's book is a "scare" book. (No, it just explains the pathways of injury in patients, and patients are glad that someone has explained it!)-He says that using cholestyramine is a "reckless" suggestion. This is hardly a way for any mold book to handle one of the mainstays of mold treatment. Cholestyramine has been invaluable for many mold patients and there are few things that bind mold toxins as well as it. There are scientific studies on how mold patients improve with it. If it depletes vitamins, those can be replaced, or it can be used short-term or pulsed. This is an egregious error by this book, to overlook cholestyramine or put down those who recommend it, as it is one of the cornerstones of mold treatment.-Lott instead recommends bentonite clay and charcoal. Some people like these, but these don't tend to work as well as cholestyramine, and some people think they have side effects. Charcoal seems to soak up things other than just mold toxins. I don't like it myself and don't use it regularly.-Lott gets things backwards about whey protein and says that you want the "denatured" whey protein. As I understand it, the "undenatured" kind is better. He claims that Immunocal is "denatured" when it is in fact "undenatured."-Oh, great, at the end he says it's probably ok to stay in your house even if you have black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum), if you use the relatively mild (compared to what many people have to do) steps in the book. This advice could lead to readers' deaths. If people have health issues or mold-susceptible HLA genes, they should not be living in houses with noticeable levels of Stachybotrys. So many people have had their productive lives ended by living in homes like that when they were susceptible for genetic and other health reasons.I would not recommend this book.Read any of the other books on mold illness, such as Shoemaker's books (the approach can be simplified and done with other practitioners), Back from the Edge, Mold: The War Within, or James Schaller's book. All of these books respect the havoc that mold toxins can create and have more responsible solutions (that can be scaled up or down depending on the severity of symptoms).Read this article to learn about the mechanism of injury and treatment of mold toxins: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/tswj/2013/767482/This website is a good source of information about mold: http://paradigmchange.me/mold-illness-information/This website by a mom whose family dealt with mold is very balanced but informative: http://www.momsaware.org/aware-mold-mycotoxins.htmlThis documentary is very accurate about what can happen to people if they are exposed to lots of black mold - it is really awful what it can do to people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dkMK8Mbts8A respected doctor wrote this article on diagnosing and treating Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome: http://www.survivingmold.com/docs/Berndtson_essay_2_CIRS.pdf
4 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Disappointing and Misleading By Lisa Petrison I am experimenting with Kindle Unlimited and thus decided to take a look at this book.In general, the story of this author is extremely consistent with the stories that I have heard from hundreds of patients with chronic neuroimmune disease (ME, CFS, chronic Lyme, fibro, mold illness). He had signs for a very long time that mold was an issue for him and gradually started moving into experiencing chronic neuroimmune health symptoms; he did better when living in locations reported by other patients to be comparatively good; he declined dramatically after moving into a particularly problematic environment; he failed to be able to remediate that bad environment through the use of dehumidifiers or any other kind of clean-up techniques; he moved out of the bad environment (apparently discarding many of the belongings and washing the rest); and once in a better environment, he started to benefit from other treatments.I'm always happy to hear people tell their own mold stories. And considering how similar the author's story is to the stories of many other people, I have little doubt that he is telling the truth about what happened to him.The problem that I have with the book is when the author (who has training neither as a medical professional nor as a mold remediator) starts to give people advice based not on his own experiences or on the experiences that he has heard from others who successfully got better from this kind of illness, but rather based on theories and speculation.The most obvious example of that in this book is in the discussion about dehumidifiers. The book seems to be taking the position that the first step in fixing a moldy home is to bring down humidity levels. The author suggests doing this before even looking for the mold in the home and trying to remediate it.The problem here is that insofar as mold indeed is growing in the open as a result of high humidity levels (which is usually not where the problem molds stem from), dropping the humidity level will cause the colonies to dry out and thus to release a massive number of dormant toxic spores into the air. The result thus may be that those who are living in the home will be exposed to an even higher dose of the toxins all at once - making their health issues even worse.In addition, the most toxic molds rarely grow on the surfaces of walls. They usually grow in three basic places: in HVAC ducts, inside drywall and inside wall insulation. In addition, the molds that are the most toxic (including Stachybotrys) cannot get enough water from the air to grow and make toxins; rather, they must have at least periodic access to actual standing water. In some cases, this may be water condensation in the HVAC system; in others, it may be roof leaks, pipe leaks, window leaks or other conditions in which water droplets meet cellulose.And even in those cases, just stopping the leak is not going to be sufficient to solve the problem, because - again - the dead toxic colonies will send more dormant toxic spores into the air than the colonies did when they still had enough water to be alive.The author knows that running that dehumidifier in the basement of the house that provoked a relapse was not helpful to him - and it shouldn't have been helpful, based on what we know about how mold works.I do understand that mold remediation is a field where quality standards are very low, and so I am not surprised that some remediators might have instructed him that dehumidifiers are essential.But if one is going to write a book, it should be one of three ways. 1) An expert writes the book. 2) One writes the book as a journalist, interviewing (actual) experts and then summarizing what the experts said in clear language (and giving credit to the experts for their statements so that their reputations can be used by the reader as a reason to believe or disbelieve). 3) The book is written from the point of view of qualitative research, where the author reports his/her own experiences and the experiences of other patients to create some hypotheses about what might or might not work for other people in the same situation.This book does not seem to fall into any of these categories. The author is not an expert; the author is not interviewing experts (or even reporting on what specific experts have reported elsewhere); the author is not just reporting his own experiences; and the author has not appeared to interview other patients about their experiences recovering. For the most part, all of the recommendations seem to be based on pure opinion about what _might_ work, without any support.That makes it especially problematic that the book bears the title of "The Mold Cure." Even if there were any evidence that this particular approach might be helpful to people, that kind of title is really hyperbolic. Of course people who are really sick want a cure, but promising it to them when we have no evidence that it actually will cure most people with the problem (much less if we have no evidence that it will cure anybody at all) seems like it is taking advantage of people's hopes. In addition, the idea that this problem can be "cured" so easily has the potential of minimizing it in society's eyes.On the issue of mycotoxins. Some basics of the debate. 1) Mycotoxins are wholly accepted as causing disease (including diseases with symptoms very similar to those experienced in chronic Lyme, ME, etc - immune system suppression, increases in gut permeability, perforations in the blood-brain barrier) when ingested. 2) The ERMI test (developed by the EPA) identifies problem buildings based on the presence of particular molds that make mycotoxins. (I see nothing in this book about the idea that some molds that are found in buildings are considered to be non-harmful to humans. Not all mold is created equal!) The ERMI test has held up in many many court cases as being predictive of the extent to which buildings are causing illness. 3) The argument that was once made about whether mycotoxins could be harmful as a result of inhaled exposures was that people could not inhale enough mycotoxins to match the amount that animals ingest in studies. However, inhaled exposures are known to be much more dangerous than ingested exposures (because inhaled exposures much more easily get into the brain and bloodstream), and the satratoxin found in buildings has been found to be much more damaging than the Fusarium trichothecenes found in animal feed. 4) Some studies have now exposed animals to toxic mold via inhalation and found effects.In short, insofar as the author is going to take a controversial position ("We don't need to be worrying about mycotoxins"), there needs to be more of a measured discussion about it.With regard to the fungal infections: there is plenty of evidence that patients with ME (which overlaps significantly with chronic Lyme disease and toxic mold illness) actually do have severe immune abnormalities, especially with regard to low natural killer cell activity. In addition, ME patients are known to have low levels of oxygen throughout their systems, and many infections (such as candida and borrelia) are known to thrive in this kind of anaerobic environment. The idea that other fungal infections besides candida might also be an issue for these patients seems quite possible - and, indeed, many ME patients have reported benefiting from antifungal drugs. Statements that patients who have had mold exposures (as many/most/all ME patients have had) should not be concerned about fungal infections are not based in knowledge about the condition, therefore.I could go on for quite a while longer in pointing out more problems with this book, unfortunately. I wish that the it were good enough to recommend, because the world does need more information on this topic. However, I cannot think of any patient no matter what level of illness who - had they read this book upfront and listened to its recommendations - would not have been worse off. So I therefore felt compelled to make a comment about it.I wish the author had just written the book as "Here's what happened to me and why I think I improved as a result of what I did." That, I could have recommended.
