What Is Mycotoxin Illness?

Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by certain types of mold, often found in water-damaged buildings, poorly ventilated apartments, or contaminated food. When inhaled or absorbed, these toxins can trigger a wide range of chronic symptoms—especially in people with genetic sensitivity or weakened detox pathways.

Common Symptoms of Mycotoxin Illness

• Chronic fatigue or low energy
• Brain fog, memory problems, and poor concentration
• Headaches or migraines
• Sinus congestion and chronic coughing
• Skin rashes or sensitivity
• Mood swings or anxiety
• Sensitivity to smells or chemicals
• Digestive issues or food intolerances
• Hormonal imbalance or weight changes
• Sleep disturbances

Because symptoms overlap with other conditions, mold toxicity is often misdiagnosed as stress, depression, or burnout—especially in expats adjusting to life abroad.

Functional Testing for Mold and Mycotoxins

At Seoul Yoon Clinic, we use functional lab testing to help identify mold-related illness, including:

• Mycotoxin urine testing to detect mold toxins (ochratoxin, aflatoxin, etc.)
• Inflammatory markers and oxidative stress panels
• Glutathione and detox pathway analysis
• Nutrient and antioxidant status
• Optional testing for candida or other chronic infections

These tests help uncover hidden imbalances and guide your individualized recovery plan.

Detox and Recovery Plans

Treatment for mold illness is highly personalized and may include:

• Binding agents (e.g., activated charcoal, bentonite clay) to trap and eliminate toxins
• IV nutrient therapy (glutathione, vitamin C, B-complex) to support liver and cellular repair
• Ozone or oxygen therapy for immune support (optional)
• Lymphatic and drainage therapy to assist toxin removal
• Anti-inflammatory diet and supplement protocols
• Lifestyle changes to reduce exposure and promote healing

We guide you step by step—no guesswork, no overwhelm.
