Mold Testing

Integrative Mold & Mycotoxin Testing in NYC

Introduction: Why Mold Testing Needs a New Approach

Exposure to mold and mycotoxins—especially from water-damaged buildings—can lead to a wide range of symptoms including asthma, chronic fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, digestive problems, and more. We offer an integrative mold testing approach that goes beyond allergy checks to evaluate environmental exposure, immune response, genetic susceptibility, and detox capacity stramcenter.com rupahealth.com.

Our goal? To uncover root causes, support recovery, and build resilience.

What Is Mold & Mycotoxin Testing?

Mold illness isn’t just about allergies—mycotoxins released by toxic molds can bypass immune defense and become systemically toxic stramcenter.com rupahealth.com. Our testing includes:

  1. Environmental Surveillance
    • Home/building mold identification
    • ERMI or boutique air sampling
  2. Biomarkers of Exposure & Effect
  3. Genetic Susceptibility
    • HLA typing (e.g. mold-HLA status) identifying individuals at higher risk due to poor mycotoxin clearance kimcrawfordmd.com
  4. Functional Labs
    • Inflammatory cytokines, hormonal panels, detox markers (liver, glutathione), and gut-barrier integrity assessments

A Successful Patient Story

Susan, 38, battled persistent fatigue, sinusitis, and gut issues after moving into a damp apartment. Our testing revealed water-damage mold exposure with elevated urine mycotoxins and mold-susceptible HLA gene variations. Her personalized plan included:

  • Home remediation
  • Cholestyramine binder + weekly glutathione IV
  • Gut repair diet + liver support supplements

Within 12 weeks, she reported clear sinuses, improved cognition, better digestion, and firmer mood stability.
