Headaches-Migraines

Written by Daniel Mark Norris Newton Davis

Last Updated: 3-15-08

Over 28 Million people in the united States alone suffer from migraine headaches. As a result of my Toxic Mold exposure I had chronic headaches, often evolving into migraines. They would get so intense the nausea would incapacitate me. There were times when they got so bad I had difficulty seeing to drive. The pressure felt like my brain was going to swell right out of my skull. Sometimes when I was laying down on my right side, it would feel like someone was putting their hand on my left temple and pulling the skin upwards towards the top of my head. The lightheadedness and dizziness sometimes brought me close to the point of passing out, or visually blacking out. I would get sharp pains in the left rear of my brain which really scared me. I started worrying about the possibility of a stroke.

There is a cause of headaches which most people are not aware of. The mold fungi in our breathing environments, birth control pills and the antibiotics given to both people and meat producing animals, all increase the level of fungi inside our bodies, upsetting the fungal / bacteria balance of our bodies.

The molds from our breathing environments play a substancial role in headaches, especially if your home, workplace or school has any kind of mold problem. If it has ever had a leak where the building materials were not dried out within 24-72 hours mold will grow. If there is moisture in the building materials or in the air, mold will continue to grow. Replacing all affected building materials is necessary to eliminate the problem. An air cleaner with a HEPA filter is the quickest solution to capture the spores and mycotoxins out of the air.

The problem of having any mold growth inside a building is how it accumulates to become concentrated. Toxic molds produce mycotoxins to kill off their microbial competitors. Mycotoxins are very harmful to the brain and central nervous system. This is why some of the same toxic mold found in homes, workplaces and schools are concentrated and weaponized into the most powerful biological weapons on Earth, the T-2 Mycotoxin Biological Weapons.

By studying these same toxic molds in their concentrated/weaponized form it gives us an end-case picture of what they are capable of subtly doing in their natural form, especially when concentrated in a home, workplace or school, over an extended period of time. The longer the exposure, the more damage done to the brain and central nervous system. A friend of mine proved in court that their health problems, including their childrens' autistic symptoms, were a direct result of their toxic mold exposure. They won their case in Oregon.

When mycotoxins damage the brain and central nervous system it can contibute to ADD, ADHD and damage the myelin shield, contributing to multiple sclerosis. It can also cause a heightened state of anxiety and irritability, which can take a person from complete calm to confrontation in a matter of minutes. It may be damaging the connections between the two halves of the brain. So, when they are confronted with a situation, their 'fight or flight' kicks in. With the connections damaged they have difficulty returning to a reasonable, calm state of mind. Essentially they remain in a 'fight or flight' state of mind for a much more extended period of time than is normal. This can lead to disruption of families, domestic abuse and even domestic violence.

Just because you do not see mold growing anywhere in your home does not mean there isn't any. It can grow inside walls, ceilings, under floors, under tile or linoleum, especially around toilets, or in the carpeting and their pads, without you ever knowing you have a problem. The smell only occurs during certain periods of their growth cycle, as they produce MVOCs, Microbiological Volatile Organic Compounds. They can be harming you long before they become visible, if they ever do.

We also inhale a lot of mold spores from outdoor environments, especially in wet climates. The level of mold spores in the outside air is 100-1000 times higher than pollen, even when pollen is at it's highest level. During the transitional seasons of Spring and Fall the spore counts skyrocket, as the weather oscillates between wet, dry, wet. When it is wet mold grows. When it is dry they sporulate, sending their spores into the wind to find moisture, to grow.

Since the human body has difficulty getting the mold out of the body, it usually accumulates to higher and higher levels, especially when additional mold fungi are accumulating at a faster rate than our body's cleaning systems are capable of cleansing them from the body. For some of us they started accumulating when we were children, causing many childhood ailments. They don't usually leave the human body on their own, due to their getting stuck in the mucous membranes throughout our bodies. This can lead to long standing health problems, usually not correctly identified as being from molds in our environments.


How does this cause headaches?

When the mold fungi antigens invade the human body the immune defense system combines the mold antigen with their antibody, to form an
immune complex. These immune complexes patrol the body looking for other mold invaders to destroy. The trouble with these particular immune complexes is the size. By the time the large mold antigen is combined with it's antibody, it is so large that when it is patrolling it often gets stuck in and blocks capillaries. Capillaries are noodle-like passages used to transport blood and nutrients from one place to another.

In the case of the immune complexes traveling inside the blood of the circulatory system, they often get stuck and block the smaller blood capillaries. This prevents the needed oxygenated blood getting from the arteries to the cells and tissues, where it is required. Without it, and the oxygen it provides, the cells and tissues will degenerate and die.

A lot of these smaller blood capillaries are around joints and in the brain. Disrupting adequate supplies of oxygenated blood getting to joints causes arthritis type pain. Disrupting adequate supplies of oxygenated blood getting to the brain can cause headaches, brain shrinkage, memory and comprehension loss, alzheimers and many other problems. Our subconcious sensory communication network uses pain to communication this condition to our conscious mind. The communication of pain is telling you there is a physiological problem, with an underlying causation which needs to be corrected.


These blockages in the blood circulatory system can contribute to higher blood pressure. With the heart continuing to pump blood through the circulatory system, the blood pressure builds up behind these blockages. This causes the sensation of pressure. There are a lot of smaller blood capillaries in the brain, which leads to a lot of pressure in the head. I could actually feel the sensation of a sharp pressure pain, then a release, as the immune complex would momentarily get stuck in a smaller capillary, and then got pushed on through. Once I recognized that sensation for what it was, I was able to take an aspirin to thin the blood, enabling the blood to get around the immune complex blockages easier. Many of the pain killers, such as aspirin, thin the blood. That is why aspirin is used to prevent strokes and heart attacks. But, this is only a temporary fix. The underlying causation needs to be corrected.

The mycotoxins effected my memory like I was getting alzheimers. If you interrupted me in the middle of a sentence, I could not remember what I was talking about. I resisted people interrupting me when I was talking, in order to prevent this. Muscles would spasm different places on my body, such as my back and hands. The intensity of tremulation in my jaw varied, being determined by the level of mycotoxins affecting my body and stress.

I experienced a lot of visual problems because of the toxic mold. My eyes became sensitized to light. Bright light felt like it was piercing my brain, making the headaches worse. My vision degenerated considerably during this period. I had a lot of blurry vision , which would pulsate back and forth between blurry and not so blurry. I believe this was caused by a combination of immune complexes putting pressure on the optic nerves and damage to the brain and nervous system by mycotoxins.

Antifungal protocols eliminated all my health problems

The important point here is that I was able to eliminate all of my health problems, including headaches. This was done by lowering the level of toxic mold and their mycotoxins in my body. As I lowered their levels in my body, the level of health problems went down also, in direct correlation. Periodically I encounter higher levels of toxic mold in my environment, triggering some of the symptoms to start to come back. I increase my antifungal protocols, and the health symptoms go away. The big questions are;

1) What percentage of health problems are directly or indirectly related to toxic mold exposures many people are getting from their environments?

And

2) What percentage of those health problems are being incorrectly attributed to something else?

After all the health problems I experienced as a result of my toxic mold exposure, and how simple antifungal protocols eliminated all of them, I believe the answer to both of the above questions is - A Very High Percentage !
