A Paradigm Change in Mental Health

PANDAS and PANS exemplify how a body problem can cause changes to the brain and its function. Medicine is still catching up to that reality. In the meantime, children are falling through the cracks and not getting appropriate treatment.

Help these kids who are falling through the cracks.

#1 Mistake: Binders Before Bioflavonoids

Bioflavonoids are the first priority for mold recovery, not binders. Why? Bioflavonoids help the kidneys efficiently filter out unwanted mold mycotoxins. Binders work on liver detoxification.

Why does that matter? You have 2 kidneys and only 1 liver. By enhancing kidney clearance of mycotoxins, you double your detox power. With 25% of the population having genetic changes that impair liver detoxification, why rely on the liver alone?

Maximize mycotoxin detox. Use the bioflavonoids in Alight Health's Color Guard before binders to speed recovery while protecting your organs of detoxification.

#2 Mistake: Taking Binders When Bound Up

If you're taking a binder while constipated, you're making your mold problem worse.

Binders only work if they can keep their bond and carry the mold toxins out in your poo. If your bowels are sluggish, that bond breaks, and the mold toxins get released exactly where we don't want them - in the gut - where they can do serious damage.

Constipation from mold occurs from lack of bile flow. We can fix that with things that make and move more bile - the very stuff that "binds" mold toxins. Alight Health's Bile Movers keep the flow going so you can get rid of the mycotoxins that are excreted through bile.

#3 Mistake: Negating the Nose

One of the most often missed parts of an effective mold protocol is forgetting to address the sinus invasion of fungi, bacteria, and toxicants.

Your first interface with a moldy building is through your breath, and your sinuses take the biggest hit.

Then the nasal colonies seed bad-guy gut colonies into your gut every time you swallow. Shut down the bad guys at the source - in the sinuses - with Micro Balance Health Products® CitriDrops Nasal Spray.

Bile Movers

#4 Mistake: Absent Antifungals

The flora that protects your respiratory and gut passages have a very difficult time staying in balance under the influence of toxic indoor air.

Mold and mycotoxins induce your sinus and gut flora to become a pathogenic biofilm, hosting a range of unwanted microbes.

Antifungal herbs help to restore balance. Empirical Labs' Yeast Ex includes herbs with action against fungi and unwanted bacteria, as well as gentle detoxification support.
