Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about the impact of mycotoxins on health, including antibody testing for mycotoxins. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Andrew Campbell. Thirty years ago, Andrew Campbell, MD started seeing many women who were sick from their silicone breast implants. Most of them eventually had their implants removed thinking it would solve their health problems, but it didn't. Dr. Campbell then connected with Dr. Pierre Blais in Canada, a PhD expert in breast implants. His research had shown that many implants had molds in them. He then started treating these patients with an antifungal medication, and they improved tremendously. As his reputation grew, many people started to come see him because of molds growing in their home or workplace due to water damage. Many had gone from doctor to doctor without getting any better. These patients had all kinds of tests done, taken all kinds of pills and supplements, and countless were told "it's all in your head". Dr. Campbell has helped well over 10,000 patients with health problems due to molds and mycotoxins. Everyone's immune system is unique and different, like a fingerprint. That is why there is no one treatment, no one size fits all. The key to the diagnosis and treatment is to see if a person has antibodies to mycotoxins from exposure to molds. These are toxins and have an exceedingly bad and toxic effect on health. He has published his findings with people affected by molds and mycotoxins in medical journals and as chapters in medical books. He has lectured on this subject at medical conferences all over the US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. In all, he has published over 90 studies; 19 of them on the effects of molds and mycotoxins in people. Key Takeaways: What is the role of mold and mycotoxins in breast implant illness? What is the role of mycotoxins in "chronic Lyme disease"? Where in the body do mycotoxins have the most health-negating effects? What are the symptoms of mycotoxicosis? Do mycotoxins impact a fetus during pregnancy? Can they be passed to a child through breastfeeding? What is MyMycoLab? What mycotoxin antibodies does it test for? How long after an exposure should one wait to perform a MyMycoLab? Do the result differentiate between current or past exposure? Do mycotoxin antibody levels correlate to the severity of illness? How long should one wait before repeating the MyMycoLab after addressing their exposure? Can immune suppression or low immunoglobulins lead to false negative MyMycoLab results? Is there a connection between IgE mycotoxin antibodies and MCAS? How does antibody testing for mycotoxins different from looking for mycotoxins in urine? Is removal from the exposure enough, or does fungal colonization in the body need to be considered as part of a treatment strategy? How is autoimmunity potentially associated with mycotoxins explored? How is mycotoxin-associated illness treated?

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about the benefits of earthing. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Clint Ober. Clinton Ober is CEO of Earth FX Inc., a research and development company located in Palm Springs, California. He first learned of grounding when installing Cable TV systems in Billings, Montana in the early 1960's. A decade later, he formed Telecrafter Corporation and built it into the largest provider of cable installation services in the United States. This company specialized in proper grounding of cable installations for safety and TV signal stability. In the 1980's, he turned his attention to the developing computer industry and partnered with McGraw-Hill to distribute live digital news services, via cable, to PCs. This led to the development of the first cable modem and an increased awareness of need for proper system grounding. Following a health challenge in 1995, he retired and embarked on a personal journey looking for a higher purpose in life. During his travels, he noticed people wearing plastic and rubber soled shoes that insulate the body from earth. He wondered if no longer being naturally grounded could affect us. The question led to an experiment that suggested grounding alone reduced chronic pain and improved sleep. Thereafter he developed a working hypothesis: Earth grounding the human body normalizes functioning of all body systems (Corollary: The body utilizes the earth's electrical potential and free electrons to maintain its internal electrical stability for the normal functioning of all self-regulating and self-healing systems). Over the past twenty years, he has supported a host of research studies (Earthing Institute) that collectively demonstrate that grounding alone reduces inflammation and promotes normal functioning of all body systems. Key Takeaways: What is earthing (or grounding), and why is it important for health? Is there a difference in disease prevalence between wild and domestic animals? What is the earth charge, and what role does it play in grounding? How might grounding lead to reduction in inflammation and pain? Are the potential inflammation-reducing effects of grounding observable with thermography? How does grounding affect sleep and cortisol regulation? Can grounding be used as a tool to mitigate exposure to EMFs? How might grounding normalize blood coagulation and increase oxygenation? Can grounding lead to increased ATP production and improved mitochondrial function? How long should one be grounded each day? Why might some with conditions such as Lyme disease initially feel worse with grounding technologies? Is there a difference between grounding with an electrical socket as compared to a grounding rod in the earth?
