As promised, I wanted to share some products I learned about at the Desbio conference.
This information was shared by Dr. Ashley Beckman, an acupuncturist, homeopath and functional medical mold expert out of California. (Stay tuned as I will interview Dr. Ashley next month.)
Here are five products she likes for her mold clients:
If you have gotten some education on mold, you may have heard to ‘open up the drainage pathways’ first. Let’s unpack what that is and how to do it.
You detox through the bowels, liver, gallbladder and kidneys primarily, so you want these systems flowing before you try to actively push toxins out. You also want to be hydrated and getting essential nutrients.
If your drainage pathways aren't open, toxins may recirculate, and you’ll end up with headaches, skin rashes etc.
I am starting the Comprehensive Detox and Drainage Kit on Monday, so if you order it this month, I’ll be familiar and you can email me with questions if they arise.
This kit is very unique and cool! Check it out here. It's the first step in most Desbio programs.
2. Smart Silver
Silver you’ve probably heard of but let’s revisit. Colloidal silver is unique in its ability to gently break down biolfilms many pathogens.
The longer you are in mold, the more your immune system breaks down, giving an array of viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic pathogens the upper hand.
Dr. Ashley likes to have clients take it internally and also nebulize it. Since mold can colonize the nose and lungs, I think nebulizing is a good idea.
Try 1/2- 1 t mixed with distilled water in your nebulizer or steam inhaler. See it here and remember to shop with code APRIL10.
This product is a way to detox from mold unlike anything you have experienced.
This is because it’s a homeopathic blend just for mold detox.
If you aren’t familiar with homeopathics, they are both diluted and intensified at the same time. The dilution makes them stronger, but also better tolerated because the physical components of the herbs are removed.
But that doesn’t mean they aren’t strong! So open up your detox pathways first (see above) and then start with just one drop a day, working up to 5 drops as tolerated. You can also apply to skin if an oral drop is too strong. Shop here.
This formula is basically what it sounds like- a remedy to help you unwind from stress and PTSD. I don’t think anyone going through mold has avoided stress/PTSD, so working on this level is important.
You cannot fully heal while in fight or flight, so utilize this tincture 3 x day to help get into rest/heal mode.
Can also use as needed when in panic. Here's the link.
Minerals are important for mold recovery for lots of reasons. We tend to urinate more, losing minerals. We are using a sauna, hopefully. And our bodies are under lots of physical and emotional stress, depleting resources. Going further, our food and water are less mineral-rich now.
Minerals help keep us grounded and feed our fascia. Dr. Ashley also likes this product in water for POTS.
It’s very affordable and easy to take. Take a look here.
So there’s your round-up!
