Mold / heavy metals
Hello everyone!
I have a couple of things I would love some help with please:
1. Hydration – I find that I’m generally feeling parched & my minerals seems to be low (see attached). Instead of 2L of just water every day, could you please recommend some mineral loaded veggies or teas/herbs that I could juice and drink throughout the day.. eg cucumber, oatstraw, stinging nettle, electrolytes etc.
2. To help my body handle the load of all the mold exposures, I am doing 30 mins of IR Sauna + dry brushing + castor oil liver packs + an enema 2-3 times a week. Considering my body is feeling quite sensitive, I prefer to do it on separate days. Is there a “right” order for doing these things – eg liver pack on day before sauna & enema a day after sauna etc? Am I right in taking a binder 30 mins before sauna?
3. Enema – Dr Jill Crista says you need to be have a good BM at least twice a day, which is practically impossible for me. During this healing period (4-6 months), I was thinking to do a water enema everyday or every other day. In your experience, do bowels become lazy & stop doing its job if you’re supporting it so often?
4. Digestive Enzymes – I’m struggling with histamine issues again, so I was wondering to take digestive enzymes. Same questions like the enema – would my stomach become lazy if I give it enzymes everyday & stop producing it naturally overtime?
5. Dehumidifier – could you please recommend a decent product in Dubai?
6. We’ve decided it’s best to move than try to rectify the house at this point, but of course all our stuff (clothes, furniture, curtains, kitchenware etc) has been in the house for the last 2 years exposed to all the mycotoxins. I know the general advise is to throw everything & start from fresh, but that isn’t an option financially. Could I instead blast everything with ozone and remediate the furniture as needed, and that would make it relatively safe enough to take into the new house? Could you please recommend what to do instead, if not?
7. Order of treatment – considering I have mold toxicity, histamine intolerance, candida, heavy metal load & perhaps parasites, and my body/mind is feeling stressed.. what would you recommend is a good order of tackling all the issues?
Thanks so much B Better team!

@resh1016 my replies are numbered below:
1. You can definitely substitute water for herbal teas like stinging nettle leaf, oatstraw and dandelion leaf which can provide minerals for better hydration. I also love bone broth, but for someone with histamine intolerance, an alternative is low-simmer fish bones (1-2 hours vs. 12-24 hours with chicken or beef bones), or vegetable broths like zucchini, carrots, celery, and herbs like parsley. Coconut water is also a great way to get in electrolytes and potassium.
2. Yes, it’s best to alternate days when doing sauna and enemas since both of these are dehydrating so better not to be done on the same day even if you weren’t sensitive. Dry brushing can be done daily, ideally before any physical activity or sauna use. It can be combined with castor oil packs as well. So dry brushing, then castor oil pack, take a binder 30-45 mins before sauna, then sauna. Castor oil packs can also be done separately when relaxing in the evenings or right before bed.
3. Great question. Daily enemas are generally safe for short-term use (up to 4 weeks), especially water enemas. However, long-term daily use may weaken natural bowel function by reducing muscle tone and rectal sensitivity so it’s best to find other ways to stimulate bowels during a cleanse if support is needed. Have you seen our Constipation Relief Program? I share many rapid relief solutions to consider.
4. If you’re concerned about histamine, DAO enzyme is the enzyme to consider. And no, the body won’t get lazy and stop producing its natural DAO production in the gut due to supplementation. DAO is primarily produced in the intestinal mucosa, and its activity is influenced by factors such as gut health and nutrient availability, not supplementation.
5. Not a big selection to choose from. I have the PuriCare by LG. Seems to work well.
6. In the Mold course, I share many incredible resources one of which is SurvivingToxicMold.com. It’s a treasure trove of knowledge on all things mold. On this page, she shares exactly what to do for saving different possessions.
7. Step 1 – Avoidance. So congratulations on making the decision to leave the apartment. That’s already 50% of the battle.
Step 2 – Support drainage! Candida & parasites are leading to heavy metal storage and histamine intolerance, so it’s important to create a terrain where these pathogens cannot thrive! Think of a dirty pond. What do you need to do to get it clean? Open drainage, expose it to sunshine and get the water & dirty pond flowing outward instead of sitting there stagnant in shady areas! Same with the body.
In the Mold & Mycotoxin Illness course, I actually detail the steps to be done. Here is Step 2 about how to open the drainage pathways in our body AND the order in which they should be prioritized.
Once Steps 1 and 2 are in order, carry on with Steps 3 to 5 to tackle the rest.
Hope this helps!
