Toxic Mold Poisoning

AMERICAN EPIDEMIC

h
arlem, Georgia—some-
thing in the home of Iris
Harden was making her
sick. “I wasn’t educated,” she
says. “I didn’t know it was mold.
All I knew was that something in
that house was doing it to me.”
Her headaches and burning in
her eyes were so painful she
had to move out of her home.
Eventually an environmen-
tal testing firm found elevated
levels of mold spores in her kitchen and bedroom.
Confirming the diagnosis of fungal infection,
Immunosciences Lab, of Beverly Hills, California,
found extremely high levels of two toxic molds,
aspergillus and stachybotrys, in her bloodstream.
Her levels were in the top 1 percent that the labo-
ratory had seen out of the more than 20,000 tests
they had performed. She probably took in the
molds by breathing them and they diffused into her
bloodstream, according to Dr. Aristo Vojdani, an
expert in immune-related illnesses. Dr. Vojdani fur-
ther stated that because of the severe infections
and skin illness she was experiencing, she might
even have died without treatment by powerful
medical antifungal agents. Aspergillus and stachy-
botrys appear as large black clumps on walls, ceil-
ings or floors.
In a time when devastating floods have been
diabetes, cancer, and
heart disease are all linked
with mold infections. If you
suspect you have toxic
mold poisoning, you
should have your home
and perhaps your blood
tested for toxic molds (see
Resources). There are
qualified mold testing
companies throughout the
United States.
