MOLD, MONEY & MEDICINE: MISTAKES PATIENTS MAKE THAT RESULT IN WASTED DOLLARS AND TIME
How It Happens:
Patients often make the mistake of assuming their environment is safe based on perception rather than evidence. This can happen in several ways:
Moving to a New Residence: Patients may move into a new home, believing it to be safer than their previous one, which was a known source of mold toxicity. However, without proper testing, they cannot confirm that their new environment supports their recovery. Furthermore, contaminated items from the affected home can be moved to the new home, leading to the same issue.
Overlooking Safe Remediation: Patients may leave a residence that could have been made safe with proper remediation, or that was already safe.
Consequence:
Globally, there is a 100% fail rate for all known treatment methods from all medical providers for patients who remain in active mold exposure. These patients do not improve and often blame their healthcare provider or the treatment methodology instead of recognizing the environmental issue. This leads to 'doctor hopping' in search of a cheaper, more effective solution, which ultimately wastes time and money. As Dr. Andrew Heyman states, "The Number 1, Number 2, and Number 3 reason patients do not get better is remaining in active exposure."
Why This Matters:
The average adult takes approximately 20,000 breaths per day, many of which occur indoors. Living in an environment that is hostile to the immune system significantly hinders recovery. Children are particularly vulnerable as they spend more time at home and have developing immune systems and brains that are more susceptible to toxin exposure. It is critical for patients to live in environments with acceptable levels of environmental toxicity. While no home is entirely toxin-free, there are established, measurable thresholds that support healing. Failing to ensure a safe environment jeopardizes all treatment efforts and expenditures.
