Biotoxins are toxins made by living organisms, such as bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms. Examples include bacteria like strep, Borrelia (Lyme disease), and Bartonella, mycotoxins from mold, endotoxins from gram-negative bacteria often found in contaminated water or water-damaged buildings, and gram-positive actinomycetes that can cause skin changes.
In this short video, you’ll learn what biotoxins are and the different sources they can come from.

Biological toxins and Hope for Healing visit options 0:00
What is a biological toxin? A toxine made by a living organism, bacteria, mold, fungi, parasites, viruses. So we are excited about something we offer here at Hope for Healing. In order to meet the financial needs of our patients, especially if your whole family is suffering from SIRS or biological toxic illness, or you may just be one individual, we're offering 90 minutes at the price of 60. So there's a one hour group medical visit with me, and that's conducted every other week if we have enough patients to have the class.
And then you'll have your half hour visit, with your medical provider.
Hidden mold and water damage in buildings 0:53
I will not be assuming your medical care. You've already established a relationship with your provider. They know your history intimately. But in order to walk into that lab review with them, you'll go, okay, I understand what's happening in my body. So thank you for being willing to join our group medical visit. If this is appealing to you, just send a message through the patient portal. Many times people say to me, I don't have mold in my house. There's no visible mold here. My air conditioning system is clean.
But within the interior of a water damaged building there may be bacteria, there maybe what I call gram negative poopy water bacteria that's within walls or under the foundation leaking up into the foundations or the floorboards of your home. your landscaping may have heaped over the weep holes and it's coming in through a wall. Most often though, if you can't see any evidence of damage in your home, it is because during construction, Sheetrock was laid, not sheetrock, a plywood or two by fours were laid out and hit by the elements and it was wet.
And then they framed your home, they slapped up drywall, painted it, taped it and within a wall cavity you have microbial growth. The other big thing that happens is in construction, a nail is hit and there's a slow leak in a wall cavity or you have a pipe that's not insulated and it may just be one wall or it could be under a shower.
Testing for mold and genetic haplotypes 2:45
So you're like, well, I don't have mold in my home. Let us guide you in that. There's testing available. We recommend something called a HertzMe2 or test number seven, which checks for mold, endotoxins, or a type of the bacteria that likes to colonize our body called actinomycetes. All right, so I'd like to show you on LabCorp how we determine your genetic haplotype. So we go to a website called myhousemakesmesick.com and then you can see how determine that.
