We have a long way to go, including hard facts, science and data.
On this page, I aim to answer every single one of your questions about Mold Illness, so keep reading!
But if you are ready to get to the bottom of your Mold Illness, then use the link below to book a call with myself.
If you’ve been diagnosed with one of the conditions listed below, and nothing seems to help you get better...
Then I hope by reading the hard facts about mold on this page things will start to make sense, and if they don’t.
Well, don’t worry.
We have a long way to go, including important science and data.
Let’s talk science here.
Mold Illness is a recognised multi-system inflammatory condition known as Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS).
And although the symptoms of mold exposure often mimic other health conditions, mold being the root cause often flies under the radar.
Even worse, many doctors deny the possibility of mold being able to make someone sick, despite Mold Illness having specific inflammatory markers we can test for.
Mold Illness/CIRS is commonly misdiagnosed for many of the conditions listed above.
Diagnostic Process for Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS): A Consensus Statement Report of the Consensus Committee of Surviving Mold
Here are a few things you should know about Mold Illness.
The first one is that, yes, Mold Illness is more than real.
In fact, it is quantifiable.
Mold Illness has been treated since 1998, with the discoverer of Mold illness (Dr Shoemaker) treating over 15,000 patients in over 52 countries.
Furthermore, Mold Illness/Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) has been published in more than 35 peer-reviewed papers discussing the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
Data on the successful treatment of Mold Illness has been published from a patient population of over 7,000 individuals.
The clinical trials and methodically recorded data of Mold Illness have led to marvellous advances in delineating the physiology of these illnesses.
We’re going to get a bit technical, but bare with me.
Do you see that diagram on the right? That is your Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) gene, which has a lot to do with how your immune system operates.
If you’re a part of the lucky 78% with a functioning HLA gene, then mold won’t make you chronically sick.
In fact, many of us are exposed to mold (and the related mycotoxins) daily and can fight off the toxicity.
But not the 22% with the HLA genetic predisposition.
This group of people will be susceptible to having a series of abnormalities in innate immune response when exposed to mold.
This immune response will not self-heal, will not lessen in severity, and will continue to cause illness from inflammation.
These individuals also see the alteration of fundamental genomic activity, including 874 genes of the mitochondria.
The biotoxins within these individuals continue to circulate through blood and lymph in the body, and activate these innate immune responses as they go.
As a result, you end up chronically inflamed.
CIRS is the long-term result of mold and biotoxin inflammatory response.
Sometimes CIRS is referred to as Mold Illness or Mold Toxicity.
In CIRS, inflammation affects multiple systems of your body.
CIRS is a subset of the ICD- 10 (R65.10) recognised Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS).
Although mold is the stimulus, you ultimately end up with CIRS.
Mold causes immense damage to the brain and body. I mean, just take a look at the diagram below!
In short, the mycotoxins severely damage the brain, causing dysregulation to almost every system of the body.
Yep, the sex hormones become dysregulated, so does the gut, so does cognitive function, and a whole lot more.
People often experience symptoms ranging from weight gain to low testosterone, to chronic pain and insomnia.
And the longer you leave CIRS, the worse it gets.
Why? Because you’ll never clear the mycotoxins, so the damage just compounds.

In fact, we can look at your brain under a specific MRI add-on called NeuroQuant and see specific changes in brain structure related to mold.
The inflammation from mold drives a distinct ‘fingerprint’ of atrophy AKA brain decay.
So yes, it’s all tangible and quantifiable. It’s not in your head. I understand, and I get it.
Seriously, have a look below at some of the images which are from real brain scans of people with Mold Illness.
You can have Mold Illness/CIRS for years, and I’m talking decades.
Yes, the moldy dorm room you stayed in during college can be the root cause of your long list of health issues.
Or perhaps the office you worked in during that job in 2005.
You see, if you are the 1/5 with the HLA gene and you have been exposed to mold at some point in your life, you will have constant innate immunity inflammation, which won’t get turned off.
Over time, compounded with the other stressors in the world and co-infections, you can end up pretty sick.
You’re probably starting to understand the severity and realness of Mold Illness a bit better now, but I’ve only just touched the tip of the iceberg.
If you’d like to learn more about Mold Illness and the specific cases I’ve worked with, click the button below to view my Case Studies.
However, if you’d like to know how to be diagnosed with Mold Illness and the road to recovery, then keep scrolling.
We’ve touched a lot of bases, and we’re on the way up.
Step 1: VCS Testing, Exposure and Symptom Cluster Analysis.
Based on the work of Dr Shoemaker and his data set of over 15,000+ patients, we can quantify the symptoms of Mold Illness into 13 distinct clusters.
If you have symptoms in 8 or more of the 13 clusters, there is a high probability you have Mold Illness.
Plus, if you have also had a known mold exposure and have a treatment resistant condition, it is even more likely
But remember, an “I don’t know if I was exposed” does not confirm a non-exposure!
This list is a general overview of the most common symptoms, but it’s by no means exhaustive.
After confirming your symptoms, the next step is to move on to Visual Contrast Sensitivity (VCS) testing, available at VCSTest.com.
VCS screening measures the neurological function of vision (contrast) deficient in those with Mold Illness.
The VCS test is a $15 online test that you can take from the comfort of your own home.
VCS testing can be tricky to get your head around, and the calibration is the hardest part.
But don’t worry; I’ve made two videos for you below to help you understand the reliability of the VCS test and how to take the test accurately.
Step 2: Confirmation Through Data: Mycotoxin and Blood Panels.
After the VCS test and Symptom Cluster Analysis, it would be great to talk to you about running a urine Mycotoxin Test and/or blood panel to confirm the presence of mycotoxins in your system so you can qualify for treatment.
It’s important to be absolutely sure that you do have Mold Illness before undergoing treatment.
And if we test for Mold Illness and you come back negative, then great! You’ve eliminated a possible root cause and can continue on your journey of getting to the bottom of your condition.
Below is an example from a page of the Mycotoxin Test which can be done from the comfort of your own home.
Then, if we were to run your blood panels we would be looking for specific markers like:
You qualify for treatment once confirmed that you have Mold Illness from the above biometrics.
And we’ll be discussing this below.
But if everything you’ve read so far resonates with you and you’d like to get tested for Mold Illness immediately, then you can use the link below to book a call with myself.
I can have a Mycotoxin Test shipped to your home within a few days of ordering!
Treating Mold Illness can seem complicated, and in some ways, it is.
But that is why I’m here, to take you through the protocol step-by-step and ensure you get well again.
The above diagram is a simplified outline of the treatment and protocol for Mold Illness and CIRS that we would work on together.
Of course, this protocol is the clinical standard developed by Dr. Shoemaker.
But every practitioner tends to add their blend of Integrative and Holistic Medicine to this protocol.
I also incorporate Regenerative Medicine into my protocol and use therapies such as peptides.
This entire process will require a re-orientation of an individual’s thoughts, actions and lifestyle.
What I have put together in the above diagram is meant mainly as a primer.
It is no way replaces working with a skilled, licensed, experienced clinician who has previously worked with complex cases.

Mold Illness is not a one-stop-shop and requires both time and dedication from both parties, meaning you and me!
The minimum time investment to overcome Mold Illness is 3 months of working 1-1 with myself, followed by 12 weeks of text and/or email support.
This is a two-way street, and we must meet in the middle.
I’ve had great success working with Mold Illness/CIRS clients because I give much of my time and attention.
In fact, I only take on a handful of clients at a time for this very reason.
You see, it’s not just Mold Illness.
Tackling the mold is the first part; after that, you must work on your residual gut issues, hormonal disbalances, damaged brain and more.
Okay, so what is included when you work with me to overcome Mold Illness?
Well, the first thing to understand is that we’ll be working together for a long time, so we have to ensure it’s a great fit.
I’ll be the captain, and you’ll be the co-pilot.
So, with that being said, you can see your Mold Programme below:
✔️ Mycotoxin Test worth $480.
✔️ 3 months of 1-1 bio-individualised Mold Illness support provided in person or over video calls.
✔️ Consultation with Dr Oksana, my partner MD.
