The Answer to Toxic Black Mold
What if I told you there was an all-natural, non-toxic product that has been shown to kill 85 to 100% of the dreaded Stachybotrys chartarum "Black Mold" spores after only one application?
I didn't believe it myself when a fellow building biologist mentioned this product to me at a recent professional convention. I live in a conventional light wood-frame construction house, which my husband and I built a few years ago before we knew any better. And now that I know that staggering percentages of conventionally built homes suffer from chronic mold infestation, I'm all for finding all-natural, inexpensive solutions to improve the overall indoor air quality of any home. And that includes reducing the number of toxic mold spores that could be releasing poisonous mycotoxins into your home.
A Brief Lesson on Mold and its Health Effects
There are numerous species of mold, and not all of them are as toxic as Stachybotrys, but many of them produce mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites that mold spores produce during their life cycle, and it's really these mycotoxins, especially the chronic exposure to them, that cause a wide-ranging spectrum of symptoms that can lead to serious illness and even death.

Common Symptoms of Mold Exposure
Mold can cause a variety of symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, and respiratory problems, as well as the following symptoms, among many others:
- Asthma
- Dermatitis
- Eye and Vision problems
- Chronic joint pain and inflammation
- Nervous system disorders
-
Memory and learning problems
If left unchecked, these can build into neurological disorders and life-threatening illnesses. Mold is not something to be taken lightly. It is a formidable adversary, but luckily, nature's bounty has given us powerful weapons to help us in our fight against mycotoxin poisoning in the form of natural essential oils. One formulation of essential oils that has been proven effective against many different types of mold is called Thieves Oil
