The Connection Between Toxic Mold, Parasites & EMFs

By Rosanne Lindsay, Naturopath

Updated from February 2022

Living in the material world means an attachment to wireless technology. When does an attachment become an addiction?

Can you do without a cellphone? Watching TV? Scrolling social media? How much time in a day does wireless occupy? What do you consider excessive use? Do you experience withdrawal symptoms (moodiness, irritability, depression) by going without? Would you consent to the imposition of technology at the risk of harming your health and potentially all biological life?

If you have two or more of the following devices; cell phones, computers, GPS, Smart appliances, electric cars, wearables, and Smart™ TVs, or electric cars, then there are symptoms you may never hear about.

The manufacturer does not disclose that EMFs activate the hidden world of yeast, fungus, mold, mycoplasma, Lyme spirochetes, and protozoan parasites to unhealthy levels in the human body.

The consequence of WiFi is a rise in chronic infections that can be misdiagnosed.

The industries responsible for creating this silent connection between EMFs and infection fail to take responsibility. The line between what will protect you, and what will not, has never been less clearly defined.

As 5G towers become compatible with 6G, 7G and beyond, who is responsible for the consequences?

Symptoms from exposure to mold toxins include:

  • Fatigue
  • Weakness
  • Muscle cramps
  • Headache and pain
  • Light sensitivity
  • Sinus problems
  • Abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Joint pain and stiffness
  • Cognitive issues
  • Mood dysregulation
  • Temperature regulation or dysregulation problems
  • Excessive thirst
  • Increased urination
  • Nervous system issues

The parasitic origin of cancer is not a new concept.  J. Collins Warren, M.D. wrote about it all the way back in 1891 in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.  A bacterial origin has also been considered and at one time cancer was considered infectious.  Per usual, many of these theories are trumped and then forgotten due to powerful lobbyists for Big Pharma.

In Vitro Experiment

Dr. Klinghardt shows that unprotected mold multiplies and releases 600 times more potent biotoxins than mold that is protected from electromagnetic fields (EMF).  Klinghardt postulates that mold, mycotoxin, parasites including worms, and Lyme reacts more defensively when exposed to EMF and that in 2011, the amount of cell phone radiation in a cubic inch of air is several million times higher than it had been a decade before that, and it’s only creased even more now.

Helminths or worms can live in the intestinal tract urinary tract, bladder, or bloodstream and cause a variety of illness from malnutrition to organ failure and flukes (flat, leaf-shaped worms with suckers or hooks) are responsible for a majority of all bladder and liver cancer in endemic regions.

Nine Treatments for MCAS

Nine Treatments for Mast Cell Activation SyndromeManaging MCAS requires a trial-and-error approach; experimenting with these suggestions to see what works best for you

By Jill Carnahan, MD

While there is no cure for MCAS, that certainly doesn’t mean you’re simply at the mercy of your misbehaving mast cells. There are a number of tools you can put into place that can work in conjunction to minimize or even eradicate symptoms and help restore balance to your immune system.

Because each person grappling with MCAS is unique, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment strategy. Rather, managing MCAS requires a trial-and-error approach – experimenting with different treatments and lifestyle tweaks to see what works best for you.

SO IF YOU’RE TRYING TO FIND RELIEF FROM MCAS SYMPTOMS, HERE’S WHAT I RECOMMEND:
TREATMENT 1:

Eat a Low-Histamine Diet

low-histamine dietHistamine is one of the primary pro-inflammatory mediators released when mast cells degranulate. So, getting your histamine levels under control is a top priority. One way to do this is by following a “low-histamine diet” – an elimination diet that aims to minimize the amount of histamine you ingest from foods and beverages.

While reducing high-histamine foods can be helpful, the best way to truly identify and track which foods may be a trigger, is to keep a daily log of what you’re eating and drinking and the severity of your symptoms. This will help you identify any patterns and more easily recognize foods that may be contributing to your symptoms. As someone who’s had to work through my own personal food sensitivities, I promise taking the time to get to the bottom of this is worth it.

TREATMENT 2:

Use a DAO Enzyme Supplement

Diamine oxidase (DAO) is the main enzyme responsible for degrading histamine. However, if you’re not producing enough of this crucial enzyme, histamine can begin to accumulate and run amok – triggering many of the symptoms associated with MCAS.

mast cell treatment DAO

That’s where DAO supplements come in. DAO supplements increase the DAO levels in the digestive tract – reducing the level of histamine entering the bloodstream and floating around in your body which can provide some relief from the symptoms associated with histamine overload.

There are a number of DAO supplements available over the counter, but be careful – ordering from Amazon may be convenient, but it’s also where fake and/or poor quality supplements run galore. (See my website for supplements I approve of.)

TREATMENT 3:

Incorporate Antihistamines and Mast Cell Stabilizers

mast cell treatment natural stabilizersWhile DAO supplements are excellent for reducing the amount of histamine absorbed from the food you ingest, these mighty supplements are unable to enter your bloodstream to reduce the amount of histamine produced within your body. This means that excess histamine produced by your own cells needs to be addressed by other methods. Which is where natural antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers can be useful:

ANTIHISTAMINES:

These compounds bind to histamine receptors – essentially blocking histamine from binding to receptors and triggering symptoms. You’ve likely heard of the common over-the-counter antihistamine Benadryl which can be great for immediate relief but can also cause you to build tolerance and require more and more to get the same relief. Some better options to focus on are natural sources of antihistamines like:

mast cell treatment natural antihistamines

  • Vitamin C
  • Stinging nettle
  • Butterbur
  • Bromelain
  • Local raw honey
  • Probiotics
  • Astragalus

These natural antihistamines can help soothe symptoms and naturally reduce histamine levels.

MAST CELL STABILIZERS:

Mast cell stabilizers prevent degranulation and stabilize your mast cells. A few well-known, natural compounds that exhibit mast cell stabilizing activities include:

  • Quercetin
  • Resveratrol
  • Luteolin
  • Curcumin

But the truth is, having to take a conglomeration of antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers (on top of potential DAO supplements) can get expensive and overwhelming. To get relief without the expense or headache, I recommend a blend of flavonoids, antioxidants, enzymes, and botanicals that can help block histamine and stabilize your mast cells – providing you with comprehensive support for relief from MCAS symptoms.

TREATMENT 4:

Identify Sources of Toxins

mast cell identify sources of toxinsThere is no single factor that has been shown as the definitive cause of MCAS. However, various microbes can disrupt the immune system and cause mast cells to go haywire. Two major environmental triggers of MCAS include mold and an elevated overall toxic burden.

If you’re struggling with MCAS, it’s absolutely essential to reduce the body’s microbial and toxic burden. This typically requires a thorough assessment of your environment as well as making some adjustments to your lifestyle to minimize exposure to mold and other environmental toxins.  (See link for article)

BetterHealthGuy’s Notes on ECO24

https://www.betterhealthguy.com/eco2024  Notes Here

ECO24

Exponential Clinical Outcomes (ECO24) was held online in May, 2024 and was created by Dr. Todd Watts and Dr. Jay Davidson who also created CellCore Biosciences.

I have posted Dr. Davidson’s removing parasites to fix Lyme & chronic illness, which I consider some of the best help for parasites out there.  His wife battled Lyme/MSIDS so Davidson had to figure it all out to help her.  I also posted Dr. Todd Watts’ ‘The Parasite Guy Podcast’ where he shares his own journey with parasites and Lyme disease.

The notes are in the link above and are provided by Scott Forsgren, FDN-P, better known as the BetterHealthGuy.

This is a wonderful resource for executive summaries of the various speakers who present on everything from foundation medicine, testing, why patients get worse, hormones, fasting, mold, unresolved trauma, ‘vaccine’ detox support, infertility, muscle testing, and much more.  There’s certainly something for everyone in this seminar.

Repair Neuropathy: Dr. Marty Ross

Neuropathy in Tick-borne Infections and Mold Toxicity

In chronic Lyme disease it is common to have nerve injury in locations outside of the brain and spinal cord – also called peripheral neuropathy. Common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include:

  • numbness,
  • burning sensations,
  • and/or sharp, stabbing or electric feelings.

In this article Marty Ross MD reviews:

  • laboratory evaluation of neuropathy in chronic Lyme disease and
  • a functional medicine approach to remove nerve insults and to repair nerve injury.

Neuropathy Laboratory Evaluation

A basic laboratory evaluation of neuropathy may include:

  • Vitamin B6 (too much Vitamin B6 causes neuropathy)
  • Vitamin B12 (low Vitamin B12 causes neuropathy)
  • Vt D3 (levels around 40 ng/ml to 80ng/ml support healthy nerve function)
  • CBC
  • CMP (evaluation of kidney and liver function)
  • TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 (evaluate for low or high thyroid function)
  • TTG-IgA & EMA (for possible celiac disease)
  • heavy metal urine testing (see the end of the article for when to do this)

Functional Medicine Neuropathy Repair

Steps to repair nerve injury include:

removing the nerve insults

  • correcting abnormal labs including thyroid, Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12
  • stopping RX meds that may cause neuropathy
  • treating infections
  • correcting mold toxicity

repairing the nerve damage

  • repairing nerve cell and mitochondria power plant membranes,
  • increasing the master cell repair antioxidant glutathione,
  • increasing the nutrient Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
  • taking acetyl-l-carnitine if you do not eat red meat,
  • decreasing inflammation, and
  • using the peptide BPC-157.

Remove Nerve Insults

Treat Infections

The three major infections seen in Lyme disease (Borrelia (Lyme), Bartonella, and Babesia can lead to nerve injury. Of these, Borellia and Bartonella have a greater chance of causing this condition. For information on treating the infections see: A Lyme Disease Antibiotic GuideKills Bartonella: A Brief Guide, and Kills Babesia: A Brief Guide.

Stop RX Meds that Cause Neuropathy

There are a number of medications that can cause neuropathy. You should review your list of medications with your physician or health care provider. There are three classes of anti-microbials used in Lyme treatments that can lead to neuropathy.

  • azoles including fluconazole (Diflucan), metronidazole, tinidazole, and itraconazole
  • Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine)
  • disulfiram
Correct Mold Toxicity

Elevated mold toxins may injur nerve function and damage nerve cell mitochondria. See Mold and Lyme Toxin Illness for more information about how to diagnose and fix this problem. (See link for article and video)
