when we worked together, I was just beginning to educate myself on mold illness, and now looking back, and hearing your current situation, I strongly suspect mold and compromised detoxification pathways are contributing factors.

I do recall you did a Mycotox test which baffled us both with zero levels being shown, but this can also be proof that your body is not letting it out in urine, and therefore not showing up on the test.

I have worked with 2 other clients with dysautonomia and both struggled with mold illness when we dug a little further, hence my strong impulse to blame mold.

Other toxins can also be at play like heavy metals, but in the end, the goal is to increase your ability to clear out these toxins from your body and strengthen immunity. And of course, avoidance of these toxins.

If mold is at play, avoidance is key. And this is where I would start. Have you ever conducted an ERMI test to check the level of mycotoxins at home? Unfortunately, we do not have a proper mold inspector in Dubai, and so I usually present my clients with a few different options. The ERMI test takes dust samples on a cloth that is mailed to the US for analysis. If levels come back elevated, then we bring in the mold remediator and available inspectors to find the source and remediate or move out if severe!

I know I’m not answering your question about the suggested medication, because this is simply symptom management and not addressing the cause.

What I have recommended to my clients with dysautonomia is  DNRS therapy (https://retrainingthebrain.com/).

I would also recommend doing virtual emotional release sessions with my Insta friend Dr. Gonzales. You may already be following him.

Both of these modalities help the body heal at a level not possible with diet, exercise, supplements, etc. They are a must in my opinion.

Let me know your thoughts, and let’s keep the conversation going…

 are your referring to Omar? If so, he’s a mold remediator, not an inspector. Unfortunately, nobody here does a thorough enough inspection. Looking into AC units/ducts and using a humidity reader is not enough. Attached is a document by Brian Karr to help you see what to ask when looking for a qualified mold inspector:[10 Questions to Find a Mold Inspector.jpg]Since an ERMI test was not done of your home, this is where I would start to be honest to rule out this option. We need to confirm that your environment is safe.

Another common but overlooked cause can be toxins or infections in the mouth. Do you have amalgam fillings, root canals, extractions done in the past? Was a 3D cone beam scan ever done to rule out hidden infections?

EBV is also not usually a cause but rather a symptom of a weakened immune system, that allows it to reactivate. The question to be asking is what is compromising your immune system.

Given that there is an autoimmune dynamic, please watch this video on Autoimmune Disease Facts and then this one on Autoimmune Thyroid Recommendations. You’ll see the recommendation for cat’s claw and lemon balm for strong viral surges to keep it at bay while looking for the root cause(s).

Another client of mine who had EBV reactivations was caused by a genetic condition called hemochromatosis. High iron can be toxic.

And once again, the emotional component/traumas. If your body is sensing it is in fight or flight mode, this can allow viruses to surge.

What is interesting to me is that you mentioned that your worst days are in the follicular phase of your cycle (period until ovulation). I’m assuming your pituitary was checked before?
