Medical Intuition- Tune in to Your Body and Improve Your Health: Book Excerpt
"The Body Knows" - ask a medical intuitive:

Dear Caroline,
I suspect that I am bothered by molds. I live in a beautiful part of the world but with all the hurricanes, humidity and flooding I am continually sniffing and I get pounding headaches. Please shed light on why I am so severely affected.
Mona H, Fort Meyers, Florida
Dear Mona,
DMold sensitivity is a problem in any damp humid state. People in Idaho (where it is drier) California, Arizona or New Mexico are not as severely affected as those in Pennsylvania, Florida, Washington or New York – where it is damp, muggy and a great breeding ground for various molds.
Environmental medicine is fast becoming an important branch of health care. What is going on in our world that causes us to be so sensitive? What can we do to protect ourselves from the assault of environmental factors?
People are often surprised to learn that the trees around their homes, feathers on their bed, the plants in their bedrooms, or the pets that they love may be contributing to health problems. The environment, particularly the sleeping or work area, requires a closer look.
Your aim is to create a “safe” place. Take a look at the places where you spend the most amount of your time. Use your intuition to discern any environmental factors that could be disturbing your well-being.
Often people with sinus congestion, respiratory problems, asthma, puffiness and bags under the eyes, and skin problems can be affected by exposures to feathers, dust, molds, chemicals, and pets. Do your best to create a safe home environment, particularly in the bedroom, a place where you spend the most time, so there is little or no contact with these elements. The bedroom should be like a healing chamber where you feel supported and protected.
Many of the states I have mentioned above are dealing with a special environmental issue - mold.
There are many well-known effects from exposures to molds including breathing problems; puffy eyes and facial tissue; runny nose; postnasal drip; headaches; anxiety; and depression to name a few. People who live in moldy climates and who are frequently exposed to molds due to rainy weather or dampness are especially affected. During certain times of the year, when the weather is drier and the air less foggy, their symptoms often improve.
Molds can also accumulate in feather pillows and damp bedding. Molds are found in the soil of houseplants as well. For people with breathing problems, it is wise to remove the plants from the bedroom. When these plants are watered, the molds can rise into the air and contaminate the space where the person is sleeping. Be careful of moldy, damp crawl spaces or basements in which children’s playrooms, computer rooms, sewing rooms and laundry rooms are created. Believe it or not, a person’s personality can change and they can become violent, anxious, or very sad, just because of exposures to molds. If you are depressed, check out exposures to mold before you research anti-depressants.
Investigate the possibilities of molds in your home. Clean up and dry out your basement. If your basement is slightly moldy, purchase a dehumidifier, which will help to remove the moisture in the air. Never allow a child to sleep, (or yourself to work) in such a place. Go into these places with the nose of a bloodhound and use your instincts to correct problems. If you suspect that your home is moldy and you have a child or family member who suffers from anxiety or depression, there may be a connection.
Ideally, if you are purchasing a home or an apartment, look for a dwelling that is built well above the ground, has good air circulation around it and comes with a dry basement or crawl space.
Not only is mold a factor on the outside, let’s investigate your exposures to mold on the inside of your body.
If you currently live in a moldy place, limit your intake of mold through your food. Avoid eating mushrooms, vinegar, pickles, soy sauce, aged cheeses, wine and beer - which are all fermented items - until your mold sensitivities subside. After you have avoided these items for approximately thirty days, reintroduce these items and watch for symptoms. Is your nose runny? Do you feel the onset of a mild headache? During this whole process in which you are developing your intuition, use your own body as a laboratory to see the effects of the environment on your system.
As well, Candida albicans yeast is a mold, a spore, which lives in the body. In an overgrowth state in the digestive tract, it thrives on starches and sugars. It also thrives on fermented foods such as beer, wine, mushrooms, pickles, aged cheeses and fermented condiments.
Candida albicans yeast lives on all the mucous membranes of the human body – namely the lungs, where dark, moist passages offer it a welcome home. Many people are battling mold on the inside as well as on the outside.
A Candida albicans yeast eradication program available through your alternative health care practitioner or your health food store, as well as a major reduction in sugars, starches and ferments should bring relief.
The key to dealing with mold as well as any other environmental factor is to: do your best to remove the cause: build up your immune system with supplementation, proper diet and a positive attitude. Find a good local practitioner to support you on your healing journey and seek out sunshine where ever you can!
To help eradicate mold in your home or business call look for a specialist in your city that specializes in mold and mildew removal.
Here is a list of environmental molds and where they are found.
Molds
Molds are a natural part of the life cycle of all decaying plant and food materials. They thrive in dark and damp areas. Mildew is sometimes incorrectly called mold. Mold spores are prevalent in the air in damp climates. Most common foods, fresh and prepared, contain a variety of molds.
Acremonium: soil, damp paper, fabric dust, wood by-products.
Alternaria, Epicoccum, Sporobolomyces: decomposing plants, moldy vegetables and fruits
Aspergillus: a soil fungus found in composts, hay and damp vegetation; damp fabric, leather, grains, fruits, soy sauce, cheeses, corn, peanuts.
Pullularia: decaying plants and soil.
Botrytis: moldy fruits, grapes, some flowers.
Cryptococcus: pigeons, pigeon feces, dust in outside air, indoor and outdoor plants.
Fusarium: mold found on vegetables, beans, cabbage, corn, peas, sweet potatoes, squashes, tomatoes, whole grains and flours, decaying plants and houseplants.
Hormodendrum: mold found on leaves, rotting plants, decaying trees, rotting wood, leftover foods, appears as black specks on windows, damp walls and corners, damp, stored clothing.
Mucor: mold found in farming areas, animal waste, soil.
Penicillium: on fruits, breads, cheese, the surface of jams and condiments, damp shoes and clothing. Common bread mold is used in the production of penicillin.
Phoma: a mold found in paper, damp books and magazines.
Rhodotorula: a common mold existing in the air and soil.
Streptomyces: basements, potatoes, plants, plant undergrowth.
Trichoderma: damp basements, damp fabrics, forest growth mold. Stachy Botrys: Dark, black mold that in addition to being an allergen, may also contain mycotoxins. This mold thrives on damp, high cellulose, low-nitrogen containing material such as: wall board, paper, fabrics and carpet backing, resulting from water damage.
