Halfway point - Mold detox part 3
Here we are - end of week 4!
I’m officially through vial 8 of 10 for the first SSR kit and about halfway through the comprehensive detox kit. Interesting things are happening in my body that I find cool and tell me things are moving:
Definitely passing candida. Yes, I’m mold focused on my protocol but mold is a fungus as is candida. The protocol is targeting both. Candida has a distinct look to it, almost web like.
I’ve noticed I am clearing my chest constantly as well as feeling stuffy off and on. This is likely the biofilm breaking up in my lungs and sinuses where mold colonizes.
Headache for multiple days in a row
Overall kind of nausea, tired, and fatigued.
Eyes are whiter and skin is super clear
Just finished my cycle and it was probably the easiest one i’ve ever had. I don’t have bad periods but I usually have cramps, moodiness (ask my husband lol) and had none of that! If i wasn’t actively bleeding i would have had no idea I was on my period.
I also had a call with one of Des Bio’s doctors this week (the co that created the SSR kits and these products) and it was very fascinating. I was able to ask alllll the questions as I am really thinking of bringing these products into my practice. I was told that the most common time for detox reactions is between vial 4 & 7 and so far, I seem to agree with that. After taking vial 6, 7 & 8 I spiked a low grade fever so I know these vials are doing something! Since then I’ve had a gnarly headache and overall feeling kind of sub-par. It’s a specific type of headache and I recognize it because it’s the same type of headache I use to get for 5-7 days straight and what I am can infer is a mold reaction. Along with the headaches I use to get Brain zaps as well. I tried everything and nothing really helped them. Also, now know that’s mold!
I’m not so uncomfortable that I’m going to stop or slow down on my protocol but uncomfortable enough to know I’m uncomfy! All of the symptoms I’m feeling are familiar though and mold related so I know things are moving and grooving and dying off. It’s important to know when to push through on a protocol and when to back off. Often times, when you push through you will reach the sweet moment shortly after when the die off ends and you really start to feel a difference. I’ve experienced this and see it clinically over and over.
In every protocol there’s usually a point where the detox reaction peaks and this is the point some people usually stop. This is also the important time to push through through because relief is on the other side! (As long as you’re not super uncomfortable of course and knowing the difference between the two is why it’s important to work with a practitioner)
Looking Forward….
I’m excited to have this protocol behind me and also proud of myself for doing it. There was hesitation no doubt! It sucks finding mold and dealing with all of this but at least I found it. At least my health didn’t have to crash before I realized there was a problem. At least I had an early pregnancy loss and it didn’t happen further along. At least when i do go to get pregnant again, I’m not going to be TTC in mold. At least when I have a baby, my baby won’t be exposed to mold. I really have to look at the silver linings here and that’s what I’m focused on doing. This doesn’t mean I didn’t have my wallow/sad party because i absolutely did! But you have to move on, focus on the future and not get stuck in that sorry-for-myself mentality. Forward movement. That’s what I’m focused on!
I have 2ish? weeks left on my herbal protocols and then I just need to work my way through the second box of SSR vials. You work your way from vial 1 to vial 10 then on the second box from vial 10 to vial 1. So I have about 30 days left with the homeopathic remedies. Still owe this blog a post on allllll the ways to support your body through detox (any type of detox) and the things I’m doing to limit herx reactions. Coming soon!!
