Mold Toxicity Treatment in Philadelphia
Mold toxicity is a condition caused by toxic compounds called mycotoxins that are given off by certain types of mold. Mold is all around us, and the vast majority of them are not dangerous to us, but occasionally we come into contact with harmful molds that release mycotoxins, and in the perfect storm, our bodies are unable to detox or process out the mycotoxins. This allows them to build up in the body and take a serious toll on our health.

Cutting-Edge Therapies for Mold Toxicity Recovery
Mold exposure can trigger chronic inflammation, immune dysfunction, and a range of debilitating symptoms, including fatigue, brain fog, and respiratory issues. At Meeting Point Health, we specialize in functional and regenerative medicine approaches to detoxifying the body and restoring balance.
Mold Toxicity Complications include:
Having a mold allergy
Biotoxin Overload – often due to having a genetic variation that does not allow you to detox from mycotoxins properly
Concurrent overgrowth of other fungal strains such as Candida
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) – a biological response in which cytokines and other inflammatory mediators overwhelm the body
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS OF MOLD ILLNESS?
Anxiety
Chest tightness
Shortness of Breath
Asthma
Eczema
Migraine
Eye sensitivity and or visual acuity changes
Frequent nighttime urination
Hormonal changes in your thyroid, adrenals, and menstrual cycle
If chronic, neurological sensations such as zipping, muscle twitching, and tingling
SO HOW DO WE TEST FOR MYCOTOXINS?
Urine mycotoxins to find out which specific toxin your body is detoxing from. With this information, we can work on binding the specific toxin.
Mold Allergy Testing
Home/Work Mold Inspection
CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome) blood panel – this is a non-strain specific panel of certain inflammatory blood markers that are common with biotoxin illness.
MARCoNS Testing – nasal swab of fungal and bacterial cultures and the biofilms they produce
How is Mold Toxicity Treated?
The most important thing for us to do when we are working with mycotoxins is to optimize your body’s detoxification processes to process out the toxins. We do this in a few different ways including:
Eliminate exposure! We will encourage remediation of your school/work/home or removal from your environment if warranted
IV Therapy – Ozone, UBI, Glutathione, phosphatydilcholine, PolyMVA
Prescription and herbal binders and antifungals
Nebulized treatments with compounded antioxidants and medications
Compounded Nasal sprays
Health Coaching – an anti-inflammatory low-mold nutritional program
Infrared Sauna
Oftentimes, mold illness is concurrent with Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses and can lead to treatment resistance if the mold has not been treated first.
Treatment will always depend on you, your symptoms, and what feels manageable to you. If you have struggled with mold illness or have been suspicious of it, do not be discouraged. We have lots of tools in our medicine bag and we will stay the course with you.

Does Meeting Point Health accept insurance?
Meeting Point Health does not accept insurance.
Our practitioners and staff fully understand and empathize with the challenges that patients face as they make financial decisions for proper health care. Our practice is very different from a conventional medical practice in many ways, but the time spent with each patient is usually 30-90 minutes. Visits with a physician covered by insurance generally allow for less than 10 minutes in total! Conventional medical practices that take insurance maintain brief office visits and high patient loads for this reason. We cannot provide the expert care that every one of our patients deserves under those circumstances.
Insurance also dictates the types of treatments and order of treatments patients can receive for a particular condition.
Opting out of insurance allows the patient and the doctor to maintain their medical autonomy, which is imperative to ensure you get the right treatment at the right time and the right dose.
