Routes to Overcoming Mould Illness

3 Routes to Overcoming Mould Illness

Supplements while exposed to triggers cannot work effectively

Route 1: Google Science

Many of our clients initially take this route. It often involves drastic measures such as camping in the garden or moving out entirely. Misdiagnoses, including Lyme disease, immune deficiencies, and elevated mycotoxins in urine, are common. Additional steps like sauna sessions, grounding mats, and a variety of pills and supplements are frequently incorporated. Unfortunately, these solutions are ineffective if exposure to triggers continues.

Highly advertised low-cost dry fogging and sprays are frequently used in conjunction with inadequate testing methods. These often come with worthless guarantees, leading to further frustration as symptoms persist or worsen. In most cases, the money spent on these treatments is wasted.

Route 2: Medical Support and Supplements This approach involves seeking medical support and undertaking an intensive regimen of diet and supplements. While some individuals may experience temporary relief or improvements in mental and physical well-being, the underlying health issues remain unresolved due to continuous exposure to environmental triggers, typically within the home. The effectiveness of binding agents and detoxification methods is significantly diminished when ongoing exposure makes it a losing battle.

Route 3: Comprehensive Assessment and Remediation with Building Forensics

Building Forensics offers a proven, systematic approach to tackling mould illness:

  • Collaborate with you or your healthcare professional to confirm symptoms and establish an exposure timeline.
  • Facilitate access to medical and laboratory testing if required.
  • Conduct a thorough investigation of your property, evaluating sampling options to identify likely triggers.
  • Determine the contamination sources, causation, and likely reservoirs.
  • Recommend appropriate remediation strategies.
  • Execute decontamination of surfaces and air.
  • Provide clearance verification to ensure a safe environment.

These risk-reduction techniques are specifically designed to eliminate triggers, allowing your immune system to recover and benefit from targeted medical intervention by healthcare professionals.

Conclusion The first and most crucial step in overcoming mould illness is the removal of environmental triggers and inflammagens, a factor often overlooked by conventional contractors. Identifying contamination is essential, as different contaminants and inflammagens require distinct identification and remediation protocols.

Certain mould treatments may inadvertently increase one form of contamination while reducing another, potentially exacerbating symptoms. Understanding these differences and identifying hidden contamination reservoirs is critical. This is where our expertise at Building Forensics comes in, offering professional services to reduce your health risks at home or in the workplace.

Failure in treatments of Inflammatory Response (CIRS)

Paper 1110 – September 2024 Written by Jeff Charlton

Chronic health conditions like CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) can be challenging to treat—especially when the root cause remains unidentified. This paper explores why treatments may fail, highlighting the critical role of environmental factors, particularly mycotoxin exposure from mould and bacteria.

Many treatment-resistant cases may be linked to undiagnosed environmental triggers that perpetuate inflammation and compromise immune, neurological, and detox pathways.

Could Your Child’s Environment Be Affecting Their Behaviour?

Paper 1102 – September 2024 Written by Jeff Charlton

Sudden OCD, tics, or behavioural changes in children may be linked to autoimmune conditions like PANS/PANDAS—often triggered by infections or environmental stressors such as mould or bacteria.

Building Forensics identifies often hidden and invisible environmental triggers, including mould, bacteria, and toxins that may worsen or trigger immune-related conditions. Our detailed assessments go beyond basic testing, helping families and healthcare professionals reduce risks and support recovery.

Cancer and Possible Links to Mould and Biological Triggers

Rev 2 – October 2024 Written by Jeff Charlton Building Forensics

This paper explores peer-reviewed evidence suggesting links between cancer and biological hazards, particularly toxigenic moulds often found in indoor environments. Moulds can produce harmful chemicals that disrupt the endocrine and central nervous systems and may increase the risk of certain cancers.

Although most studies focus on ingesting contaminated food, many biological and chemical contaminants can be inhaled or passed through the skin.

Mould and Inflammatory Response Linked to Alzheimer’s and ALS

Paper 101 – September 2024 Written by Jeff Charlton

Growing evidence suggests that mould exposure and its byproducts, such as mycotoxins, may contribute to neurological conditions like motor neuron disease (MND), including ALS, and possibly Alzheimer’s. These toxins can trigger inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune system disruption—factors linked to neurodegeneration.

While research is ongoing, some case studies and reviews highlight potential links between chronic mould exposure in water-damaged environments and neurological decline. Assessing possible triggers in your home as early as possible may be imperative.
