Marlon's Mold Recovery Story

What would you do if you could taste everything your hands touch? What if your body is hypersensitive to heat that you literally feel your skin stinging? What if your brain feels so foggy that you start doubting your own sanity?

Marlon Chapman experienced these symptoms and more; however, Western medicine was not able to diagnose his illness. 

In fact, he was often dismissed as being “weak” or “sensitive.” Not only that, but he was also referred to therapy and was told that “it’s all in his head.”

Mold Illness Warning Signs

Marlon displayed a variety of physical symptoms that simply can’t be ignored, such as:

  • Frequent colds

  • Seasonal allergies

  • Coughing

  • Mucus

  • Sinus infections

  • Inflammation

  • A swollen uvula 

  • Sensitivity to light and heat

  • Brain fog

  • Fatigue

  • Metallic taste in the mouth

  • Food sensitivities 

  • Gastrointestinal disorders

At that time, he didn't know what was causing these symptoms, or what keeps them coming back over and over again.

He would finally get rid of a cold only to wake up with seasonal allergies. 

His body was constantly in that “fight or flight” mode, yet, all these symptoms were dismissed by his doctors. Some even told him that he was making that stuff up! 

The Mold Illness Revelation 

So, eventually his practitioner referred him to a specialist that told him what was behind these crazy symptoms…it was mold!

Yes, Marlon Chapman was suffering from mold toxicity. His childhood home had mold infested the garage ceiling which took a toll on his health and well-being. 

An expert came in and did an eye test, and an infrared thermal camera test. The expert found out that the leaking roof in the garage ceiling was the main cause. 

The Silver Lining to Chronic Mold Illness

Marlon is doing much better today and he is embracing his healing journey very courageously. He even offers free counseling for people, especially teenagers, who went through a painful experience and were told to “get over it and move on.” 

Marlon believes that there’s something immensely therapeutic about feeling each other’s pain and acknowledging these emotions instead of just ridiculing them. He believes that feeling the pain, instead of numbing it, is the core of healing the body, mind, and spirit.
