Is It Lyme, Mold, or Both?

Gordon Medical Forum

Navigating the uncertainty of potential Lyme disease, mold exposure, or a combination of both can be a challenging and perplexing journey. Symptoms of these conditions often overlap, making it difficult to pinpoint the root cause.

The elusive nature of Lyme disease, coupled with the stealthy effects of mold toxicity, can create a complex web of health concerns. Fatigue, headaches, joint pain, and cognitive difficulties may leave individuals grappling with an array of symptoms unsure of the underlying culprit. Seeking guidance from healthcare professionals with expertise in both Lyme disease and mold exposure becomes crucial in unraveling this diagnostic puzzle.

Dr. Nafysa Parpia sits down with Dr. Ann Shippy to discuss this complex issue and how to begin to understand the steps toward healing.

Episode highlights include:

- Why do we need to consider BOTH Lyme and mold?

- What is chronic Lyme Disease, and what are its symptoms?

- Why do Mold/Mycotoxin and chronic Lyme have similar symptomatology, and what is the interplay between them?

- Why is it that some people get bit by a tick or have a mold exposure without any symptoms while others can have such exposures, but their entire life is not the same again?

- Why does removing the trigger initially not always bring illness resolution?
- Dr. Parpia’s methodology of treatment in complex chronic illness.
