According to the US BioTek Laboratory:
- At least 45 million buildings in the United Stats have unhealthy levels of mold. (Moldy, 2017)
- Of the 21.8 million people reported to have asthma in the U.S., approximately 4.6 million cases are estimated to be attributable to dampness and mold exposure in the home. (EPA and Berkeley National Laboratory, 2007)
- Up to 25% of the population has a genetic pre-disposition that makes them more susceptible to mold illness. (Mold Sensitized, 2015)
- [Mycotoxins] can spread and affect the immune system severely. These lead to health conditions like allergies, hypersensitivity, respiratory problems (asthma, wheezing, coughing); and some other severe ones like those of memory loss, depression, anxiety and reproductive problems among several others. (Rujuta Borkar, 2018)
These facts are scary.
What’s even more concerning is that many people are unaware of the damage mold could be causing to not just their home, but their health.
In my first video on my re-vamped YouTube channel, I explore this popular and trending topic in medicine. I go through some basic facts, more of the latest statistics, and discuss why mold-related illness is often overlooked and misdiagnosed.
Next, I give you two simple take-home points that I learned from working with clients and from my own experience. The first is the link between binders, which are often used in treatment of mold-illness, and cavities. The next is how essential oils are often overlooked and underestimated for their power as an alley to fight off mold and its toxic byproducts.

This information is applicable ONLY for therapeutic quality essential oils. This information DOES NOT apply to essential oils that have not been tested for purity and standardized constituents. There is no quality control in the United States, and oils labeled as “100% pure” need only to contain 5% of the actual oil. The rest of the bottle can be filled with fillers and sometimes toxic ingredients that can irritate the skin. The studies are not based solely on a specific brand of an essential oil, unless stated.
