Mold is a fungus that often thrives in moisture and multiplies through lightweight spores that travel via the air.

Candida is also a fungus that is found in small quantities in your mouth, intestines, and skin.Candida lives in your mouth and digestive system to assist digestion.

The good bacteria also live in your gut to help keep Candida levels in check by maintaining a balanced and healthy microbiome.

However, mold exposure compromises your entire immune system, allowing Candida overgrowth, thus causing a yeast infection.

Read more to learn how Candida and mold allergies are linked.What Is Candida and How Is It Connected With Toxic Mold Exposure?Candida is a yeast-type of fungus that helps with nutrients absorption and the digestion process.

However, abnormal growth of Candida can damage your intestines’ walls and enter your bloodstream, where it starts releasing toxic byproducts into your body, causing the leaky gut syndrome.

Hypothyroidism and the Scalloped Tongue: Quick OverviewPeople with hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland) usually develop enlarged tongues with scalloped edges.

In other words, when there is a decrease in the thyroid function, your tongue becomes slightly larger, which then presses onto the teeth, causing indentations.What Does Your Tongue Say About Your Thyroid?It is possible to diagnose thyroid imbalances by taking a look at the patient’s tongue because people with thyroid disease rarely have healthy tongues.

The physical appearance of the tongue can give a lot of information about how well your thyroid gland is working.

If your tongue has a consistent texture, pinkish color, smoothness, and lack of coating or patina, your thyroid is functioning well.

However, if the tongue does not appear healthy, you may have some degree of thyroid dysfunction.Symptoms of Scalloped TongueA scalloped tongue usually does not trigger any significant health symptoms.

However, since it is related to an underlying condition, you can get the symptoms of the underlying disease.

Aspergillosis is an allergic reaction or infection caused due to exposure to different kinds of mold.

The type of mold which most likely causes this infection when inhaled is known as Aspergillosis Fumigates.

People with weak immune systems or chronic lung problems are usually at higher risk of developing this infection.What Are the Types of Aspergillosis?There are three types of aspergillosis:1.

Pulmonary AspergillosisThis condition is most likely to develop in people who have damaged lungs or chronic lung disorders.

These people have unusual spaces in their lungs where the inhaled mold spores can easily grow.

It occurs when the infection spreads to the bloodstream from the lungs.

Inhaling mold spores can trigger or worsen your asthmatic symptoms.

Some common asthmatic symptoms triggered by mold include coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.How Does Mold Affect Your Asthma?When exposed to mold, people with asthma suffer from shortness of breath and overall reduced lung function.

When mold is inhaled, their airways produce more mucus, may constrict, and become swollen.

Due to this, the patient may experience shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing or coughing.

These reactions can be fatal at times and require a hospital visit.Can Mold Cause Breathing Problems?Yes.

Touching or inhaling mold spores can cause several allergic reactions like a runny nose, sneezing, skin rash, and red eyes.

Functional medicine is a patient-centered, individualized, and science-based approach that allows practitioners and patients to work together and promote optimal wellness by addressing the underlying causes.

The functional medicine approach is different from traditional medicine in many ways.

Read on to learn what makes functional medicine unique.Principles of Functional MedicineThe five basic principles that define functional medicine are:1.

Every human being is different, both genetically and biochemically.

Functional medicine focuses on personalized treatment for the individual rather than the disease.2.

It emphasizes the need to explore the functioning of the body because what happens within us is connected with many other health factors and not only the disease.3.

Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is a condition with a broad range of symptoms triggered by a biotoxin such as a mold.

It is a progressive, multi-symptom, multi-system illness that can affect virtually any organ system and become debilitating if left untreated.What Else Should You Know About CIRS?You can get CIRS from chronic sinus infections with MARCONS, tick-borne illnesses, ciguatera contaminated fish, and brown recluse spider bite infections.

CIRS is basically your immune system’s dysfunctional response to a biotoxin.

The complex test markers, and the variations in how symptoms manifest, make the diagnosis of CIRS difficult.

With the improved diagnostics, we also need a group of CIRS indicators and better treatment responses for its proper diagnosis.Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome: Understanding CIRS SymptomsThere are numerous symptoms of CIRS, depending upon the toxins that caused the response.

Some common symptoms of CIRS are:- Cognitive difficulties like trouble concentrating and brain fog- Chronic fatigue syndrome- Frequent urination, dehydration, excessive thirst- Unexplained weight gain- Fibromyalgia- Sore throat and postnasal drip- Visual insensitivity- Mood swings- Metallic taste in the mouth- Numbness and tingling- Tinnitus- Static shocks- Digestive issues- VertigoLearn more https://coem.com/blog/chronic-inflammatory-response-syndrome/

Autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s often have an overwhelming effect on your health.

One of the most alarming and misleading factors that contribute to the development of Hashimoto’s is mold.Can Mold Exposure Affect Thyroid Health?Yes, mold exposure can affect your thyroid health because continuously growing mold spores produce toxic mycotoxins.

Though mold exposure in small amounts does not present any significant health problems in healthy individuals, individuals suffering from an autoimmune condition can experience serious health concerns if exposed to mold.How Can Mold Trigger Hashimoto’s?Mold is an often overlooked autoimmune stressor.

This type of prolonged stress on a person’s immune system can trigger certain autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto’s.

Additionally, mold infections of the sinus encourage intestinal permeability, or leaky gut, a powerful trigger for autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s.

And as far as Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism are concerned, mold can cause both.Can Mold Cause Hormonal Imbalance?Yes.

A vaginal yeast infection, also known as candidiasis, is a fungal infection.

When the balance of bacteria and yeast cells in the vagina changes, the yeast cells can multiply and cause an infection.

3 out of 4 women can get a yeast infection at some point in their life.

The yeast infection is not considered to be transmitted by sexual intercourse, but the risk of developing an infection is higher because bacteria can be introduced during sexual activity.

Earlier diagnosis and treatment can cure yeast infections.Read on to learn about yeast infection, their symptoms, and treatment.Why Does My Yeast Infection Often Comes Back?While 75% of women get one yeast infection in their lifetime, 8% of women get more than four a year.

The fungus candida albicans causes most yeast infections.

Stress may indeed worsen an underlying thyroid condition.

However, stress alone cannot cause a thyroid condition.

For example, if hypothyroidism runs in your family, excessive stress can make your body release the hormone cortisol.

Too much cortisol can interfere with your body’s thyroid hormone production mechanism, leading to a thyroid condition.

Additionally, stress can slow down your metabolism and can cause insulin resistance.What are early warning signs of thyroid problems?If you have hyperthyroidism, some of your significant symptoms include:AnxietyIrritabilityInsomniaElevated heart rateMood swingsHigh blood pressureBrittle hairIn contrast, if you suffer from hypothyroidism, the major symptoms of the condition include:Weight gainBloatingMemory lossFatigueDifficulty processing informationNo tolerance to cold temperaturesLearn more https://coem.com/blog/stress-and-thyroid/

Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are disorders characterized by extreme fatigue.

The medical community debates whether fibromyalgia is a different expression of the same disease that causes chronic fatigue syndrome as the conditions are intertwined.

The statistical report reveals that fibromyalgia fatigue occurs in more people than chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believes that 4 million people in the US are diagnosed with fibromyalgia fatigue, whereas only one million people are diagnosed with CFS.

The Arthritis Foundation reveals that 50 to 70% of people with fibromyalgia fit the criteria of CFS.Read on to learn more about fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.Fibromyalgia and Fatigue: How Both Are LinkedAccording to Medical Research Information, fibromyalgia is considered a muscle disorder while CFS is linked to viral infections.

However, both share some similarities, such as the following common symptoms: fatigue, cognitive difficulties, and chronic pain.Researchers reveal that both fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome mostly occur in middle-aged people, especially more with women than men.
