Even though mold isn’t always visible, that doesn’t mean it’s not lurking in your environment. Unfortunately, mold is far more prevalent than most people realise, and its impact on health can be devastating. It often grows undetected, silently infiltrating the air you breathe and the surfaces you touch. As one of the most significant yet overlooked causes of illness and disease, mold poses a serious threat to well-being. This hidden killer can trigger a range of health problems, from respiratory issues and allergies to more severe conditions like chronic fatigue and autoimmune disorders.
Mold can thrive wherever water and air are present. Bathrooms are particularly prone to mold growth due to limited airflow, which traps moisture and creates the perfect breeding ground. However, mold can also emerge in less obvious places, such as around roof leaks, air conditioning units, humidifiers, damp clothes drying indoors, washing machines, and plumbing leaks.
What are the symptoms of mold exposure?
While some symptoms may be mild, they can weaken the immune system, making the body more vulnerable to illness. If you suffer from allergies or asthma, the effects can be even more severe. Common symptoms of mold exposure include:
- Headaches
- Coughing
- Eye and skin irritation
- Difficulty breathing
- Nasal congestion
These issues may start small, but over time, they can seriously impact overall health, especially for those already prone to respiratory conditions.
Detoxing our bodies from mold exposure
One of the most effective ways is to increase your glutathione. Glutathione is highly effective for detoxifying from mold exposure because it acts as the body's master antioxidant, neutralising harmful free radicals and mycotoxins produced by mold. It supports both phase 1 and phase 2 detoxification processes in the liver, helping to eliminate toxins more efficiently. Additionally, glutathione aids in reducing inflammation and boosting the immune system, which is crucial for recovery from mold-related illnesses. By enhancing the body's natural detoxification pathways, glutathione helps to alleviate symptoms and promote overall health.
How to increase your glutathione levels
Coffee Enemas
Coffee enemas are one of the fastest, and natural ways to boost your bodies glutathione levels. The caffeine in enema coffee is absorbed into the blood via the rectal veins, travelling directly to the liver through the portal vein. This process can stimulate your natural glutathione production in the liver by 600-700%!
Diet
You can increase glutathione naturally by eating foods like spinach, avocados, and asparagus. Additionally, sulfur-rich foods such as beef, fish, and poultry, as well as selenium-rich foods like Brazil nuts, brown rice, chicken, and cottage cheese, can support the production of glutathione and improve your body’s ability to detoxify.
Taking a supplement
You can take a glutathione supplement but it is important to remember that as well as being synthetic, the effectiveness can be significantly reduced as they pass through the digestive system. This is primarily due to the complex process of digestion, where the body breaks down food and extracts nutrients
Getting rid of mold from your environment
The first step to eliminating mold from your home is addressing the source of moisture and ensuring proper airflow, especially in areas prone to dampness. Mold thrives in humid, poorly ventilated spaces, so it’s good to keep the air circulating. Most mold can be removed using eco-friendly commercial products or a simple mix of soap and water. However, always remember to wear protective clothing and open windows while cleaning.
Moving forward, take preventive measures to avoid mold growth. Repair any water leaks, service your air-conditioning units regularly, and make it a habit to wipe down bathroom tiles after every shower or bath. Maximising ventilation throughout your home is key to preventing future issues and creating habits around these practices will be beneficial.
