4 Reasons Your Mold Protocol May Not Be Working

Feeling like your mold protocol’s just not cutting it, even though you’re doing everything “right”? You’re not alone! I know how frustrating it is when mold symptoms linger, and as the author of Break the Mold, I’m here to help.

From my experience, there are four common reasons your mold protocol might be falling short, and I’m excited to share them with you. These fixes could be the breakthrough you need to conquer mold and take back your health. Ready to get unstuck?

Why Your Mold Protocol Might Be Failing

If mold made you sick, it’s likely still the core issue, but your protocol might be missing key pieces. Mold is a “stealthy survivor,” and you need a plan that tackles the whole picture. Here’s what could be going wrong:

Wrong Order: Doing steps out of sequence can slow your detox.
Missing Areas: Mold hides in places you might not think to address.
Incomplete Approach: You need to cover all bases to beat mold’s tricks.

Reason 1: Binders Before Bioflavonoids

You might be using binders to trap toxins, but using binders before bioflavonoids… should be the other way around.” Here’s why you need to switch it up:

Bioflavonoids Boost Detox: They enhance kidney clearance of mold toxins, doubling your detox power since you have two kidneys but only one liver.
Kidneys Over Liver: Binders rely on your liver, but bioflavonoids use your kidneys for faster toxin removal.
Try This: I recommend Color Guard, my go-to bioflavonoid blend, to kickstart your detox.

Reason 2: Taking Binders When Bound Up

If you’re constipated, binders could make things worse. Taking binders when you’re bound up will just release those toxins. Here’s what’s happening:

Recirculating Toxins: Without daily bowel movements, toxins get reabsorbed, stressing your detox organs.
Bile Blockage: Mold often clogs bile flow, so you need bile movers before binders.
Fix It: I use Bile Movers with ox bile to get bile flowing and ensure regular bowel movements before binding.

Reason 3: Neglecting Your Nose

Your nose could be a mold hideout! The biofilm from a water-damaged building moves into your sinuses. Here’s why you can’t skip it:

Sinus Biofilm: Mold from water-damaged buildings sets up shop in your sinuses, seeding your gut with every swallow.
Reset Your Microbiome: Intranasal antifungals can clear this biofilm and stop the cycle.
Start Here: I suggest CitriDrops to begin resetting your nasal microbiome safely.

Reason 4: Forgetting Fungal Overgrowth

Mold exposure can leave you with fungal overgrowth in your body, and when we can correct that microbiome balance, we see people improve. Here’s why it matters:

Fungal Burden: Moldy buildings often cause internal fungal overgrowth, worsening symptoms like mast cell and histamine reactions.
Balance Your Microbiome: Herbal or pharmaceutical antifungals can restore your body’s balance.
Big Wins: Addressing fungal overgrowth calms inflammation and boosts recovery.
