On the east coast, northern Australia and the tropics we are no strangers to mould particularly after many years of floods. Of course, wherever there is damp, moisture and a food source mould can hangout, indoors and out.

Moulds are part of the fungi family along with mushrooms and yeast. When you wander through a rainforest you can smell nature’s great decomposers—fungi. But inside your home and your pantry you might not always see or even smell mould and you definitely don’t want it in your food and in your home.

Why is mould such a health problem?

Moulds produce some of the most toxic substances, called mycotoxins. These chemicals compete with our gut bacteria and encourage the growth of parasites and overgrowth of yeasts like Candida. The gut and liver have to work overtime to detoxify and remove them from the body.

Moulds release spores into the atmosphere that can impact on our living spaces too.

According to Nicole Bijlsma, Building Biologist, mould affects almost 1 in 3 Australian homes and can have devastating consequences on the lives of susceptible people living in them.

About 25% of people have a genetic makeup which means they don’t produce antibodies and can’t clear mould toxins out of the body. “So every time these people are in a mould affected water damaged building they get sick!” This also can explain why some people get sick and others don’t.

And it is normally never one thing that causes illness. Rather than just one microbe, it is the chemical stew of bacteria and fungi and the toxins they produce coupled with a weak immune system, that can cause severe inflammation.

Symptoms linked to mould illness

• Fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome
• Reduced immunity—repeated colds and coughs, sinus, pneumonia, lung conditions
• Brain fog, memory loss, depression, vertigo
• Multiple chemical sensitivities
• Fibromylagia
• Lyme-like disease

You might have heard of sick building syndrome. Most building materials of homes as well as their contents—our clothes and soft furnishings—are the perfect fast food for mould. You only need mould to grow on the surface for 48 hours and, voila you have a mould house party attempting to take over the space.

A natural, safe preventative

Enter the Naturoma, a natural sanitising gel which lasts 4-6 weeks and proven to effectively control bacteria and mould in your home, office or car.

Research by University of NSW, shows a kill rate of 99% of bacteria and mould within half hour of exposure to Naturoma. After 24 hours the result is microbiologically safer air for people to breathe indoors. As an added bonus, trials also proved its effectiveness in killing mosquitos. Rooms with a Naturoma are less likely to have both mould AND mosquitos, a blessing in the summer humidity.

“We wouldn’t travel on a plane or stay in a hotel room without Naturoma. It’s my secret weapon to preventing the ‘travel-flu’.” Brooke

Naturoma is a unique, proprietary mix of selected Australian Certified Organic essential oils formulated into a gel that has a powerful antimicrobial impact. It gently improves indoor air quality reducing mustiness. No need to suffocate people or the environment with harmful aerosols.

“I keep one in my wardrobe to prevent the musty smells and mould from my clothes, shoes and handbags.” Cheryl

Put Naturoma in your bathroom, wardrobe, kitchen—especially under sinks or near your washing machine, in the car, garage, around windows. Increase the circulation of the Naturoma with fans. Fix the source of any leaking moisture or damp. Open curtains and windows to allow fresh air to circulate and sunlight to beam in and help diminish the mould-loving environments.

Naturoma targets mould outside your body. Find out how to remove mould and fungus inside the body with The Complete Parasite Kit. For more information contact The Gut Helpline on (07) 554 66 086.

Some parasites are sneaky, going undetected feeding off your nutrition and red blood cells, hiding out in different parts of your body sometimes asleep and sometimes alive. That’s why symptoms can come and go. Some parasites can actually be helpful. But many parasites can be downright social life wreckers.

Constant bowel issues, nausea and a whole raft of symptoms can leave you feeling weak, run down, emotionally unstable and depressed. The toxins parasites release and the associated inflammation can also trigger autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s. The problem is, regular stool tests don’t always pick up parasites and very few pharmaceutical solutions seem to offer long term relief. As a patient, that can be incredibly frustrating because you have symptoms but there is no apparent offender. Comprehensive stool tests used in functional medicine with a health professional experienced in diagnosing and treating parasites is a great place to start.

So, how come some people seem to pick up parasites whenever they travel or succumb to repeated candida infections?  Parasites like cosy, warm, moist homes, with lots of processed foods, fungus and yeast to feed off. Diets high in processed foods, dairy, gluten … you get the picture. They often thrive in acidic conditions, when the immune system is weak and there are no major competitors. As the gut is one of the main entry points into the body for parasites, gut conditions and the presence or absence of good gut bacteria can either encourage them to stay awhile or boot them out quick smart.

How do I know if I have parasites in my body?
Your body is home to bacteria, viruses, amoeba, mould, fungi and also worms—collectively known as your microbiome. When any of these ‘bugs’ get out of balance they can cause illness.
If you suffer from any of the below you may have a parasite infection.

• Nausea, abdominal pain
• Frequent, loose watery stools
• Constipation, IBS, bloating
• Traveller’s diarrhoea
• Itchy skin irritations
• Fatigue, exhaustion
• Anaemia, weight loss
• Food/chemical sensitivity
• Brain fog, mood issues

The new generation Parasite Cleanse
If you suspect you have a parasitic infection, please go gently. Yes, you want them gone but you also have to do it in a way that respects your body. That’s why at Probiotic Foods, we developed a three stage The Complete Parasite Kit that helps to boost immunity, improve sluggish bowels and sets you on a path to complete recovery.

A word of warning
Killing parasites with prescriptions medications/antibiotics may be necessary or using strong antiparasitic herbs. Both of these can make you feel very unwell. Parasites defecate and release their toxic payload as they die, overloading an already weak immune system and stressing the liver as it struggles to detoxify. Be guided by your health professional knowledgeable in holistically treating parasites. We recommend first getting good nutrition to the cells, supporting and enhancing the immune system prior to a parasite cleanse. Our Gut Lovers Guide is a good place to start. Because parasites have a very unique and complex life cycle that allows them to rotate between dormant and alive and take on different forms, be prepared to stick to the program for at least 2-3 months.

How does it work?
Three products make up the The Complete Parasite Kit: Parastart, Paraflush, Paraclean.

Step 1: First gently remove parasites. Parastart contains a blend of herbs targeting parasite overgrowth whilst sparing the beneficial gut bacteria. Soluble fibre, with herbs designed to support elimination and healing of the gut wall, Parastart allows the body to start a comprehensive cleanse. Take 2 teaspoons in the morning before breakfast in clean, filtered water.

Step 2: Now, clean up die-off. Paraflush assists with cleaning up the die-off, a natural event when parasites are eliminated. When parasites live in our body they produce toxic waste products. As you start the parasite cleanse, large amounts of pathogens can be rapidly killed and what’s known as ‘die off’ occurs. Metabolic byproducts are released into the body. Diatomaceous earth and the blend of powerful nutrients helps to detoxify the body of harmful organisms. Take 25ml in the evening before bed. For best results, take Parastart in the morning and Paraflush in the evening for 30 days then introduce Step 3.

Step 3: Reduce worms, fungus and mould. Paraclean enhances your cleanses by reducing parasites especially fungus and mould. From day 30 of the cleanse we recommend Paraclean drops. Paraclean drops are the final stage of the program, designed to eliminate mould and fungus, the home and food source for parasites. Take 12-15 drops twice a day in clean filtered water before meals.

Aim to complete the parasite cleanse in 60 days. Even better if you begin on a full moon when parasite eggs hatch. This timing means you will complete two cycles of parasite growth.

“I had a client suffering from parasites for ten years, she suspects from a period of eating too much raw fish. She had all the symptoms: lethargy, constipation, itchy skin. Four weeks into the program, rashes and constipation cleared, brain fog lifted and she had more energy than she can remember.”

Shahnee, Authentix, Colonic Hydrotherapist
