Emily and I just got back from one of our favorite annual events: The Tucson International Gem and Mineral Show.  For those of you who are not familiar with this event, it is the largest gathering of gem, mineral and fossil dealers from around the world.

When someone has been diagnosed with problems related to mold and mycotoxins (toxins from mold), the first step in recovery is to be sure you are living in an environment that is mold-free.  This step in recovery is ESSENTIAL.  Any supplements, herbs, binders and other therapies we use to treat mold and mycotoxin problems simply will not work if the person is still being exposed to mold.
