I have put my heart and soul into this It's my journey my story, but the biggest thing is it's not really about me I think the story is important because we all have a story and I really share with the depth and authenticity and vulnerability in the book about my own journey, but my real goal is for you as the Reader to see yourself in the journey to be inspired and encouraged and Maybe just to know that it's possible for you to to heal from mold related illness or whatever you're going through I know that I'm not the only one to suffer We all have our journeys and our suffering and our illnesses and things that we're going through and I just want to be an Encouragement and a source of strength and hope for you and I like I said I put my heart and soul into this So let's talk first while I'm waiting for questions to come in Hi, everybody all kinds of questions can black mini lines be from mold in your nails So I have a question here those little black lines in your nails You know those can be signals almost like a tree with the rings around the tree at a certain point in your life If there was an insult or a toxic exposure, maybe you got carbon monoxide poisoning You can actually have lines that go in your nails and they're based on the timeline of when that happened I don't know that I would say that black lines in your nails are specific to mold so there could be other causes But that's a great question. Hi Betty. Great to see you there Hi Lori. Hi Emily. Hi everybody joining us now. We are on three platforms. We're on zoom We're on Facebook and we're on Instagram. So wherever you see me if you see me looking around I've got lots of screens here and I want to be sure and pay attention to everybody who's joining us live Hi Kimberly on Facebook. Hi Sally. Hi Karen. Hi Gina Stop by say hello. Tell me where you're from and on Facebook. Please do the same. Oh Betty Thank you Betty says the book is so good She got one of the first advanced copies and thank you for sharing that Betty because My hope and goal is to change and impact lives and inspire people I think nowadays you guys know this we are in a time of unprecedented stress and illness and systems falling apart and the job market's different and health is different and I think more than ever we need to band together and give each other hope and healing and encouragement And I just want to be the best that I can a source of that for all of you and also just For knowing that healing is possible that auto immunity is reversible So before I start again jump in say hello ask your questions. Hi gluten-free Amy The neuro quant test helpful. How does it for mold in the brain? Okay, so Amy's asking about the neuro quant Let's talk about that. I'll just kind of go with your questions And I'll talk specifically about some of the mold resources here in my new book, which is out next Tuesday Also, if you are here live with your own Instagram or Facebook same time on next Tuesday the 28th So 430 mountain 630 eastern Please join me. We're going to have a virtual book launch party Instagram Facebook Come join me. We'll celebrate and we will talk all things mold reversible auto immunity anything you want to talk about So keep the questions coming. Hi Brenda. So back to your question about neuro quant neuro quant neuro quant is a type of Computerized system that looks at an MRI of the brain. So first of all you need to get a non-contrast brain MRI And then what you do is the computerized programming called neuro quant software Will analyze that MRI of your brain and it looks at different parts of the brain like your hippocampus or your amygdala And it blows it up into like a certain shape or volume It's called volume metrics and then it tells you what your volume of those certain parts the brain are in relation to Other people. So for example, if you have areas like the main Cortex the frontal cortex and it's a hypertrophy, which means it's enlarged that can indicate Inflammation in parts of the brains that are enlarged Then on the other side, you could have something like hippocampal atrophy Now that's not a good thing because your hippocampus is your memory center And if it's very shrunken and like one percent of the normal population That could indicate that there's shrinkage or damage to that part of the brain So gluten free with amy is asking about neuro quant with mold I have done two neuroquants in my life. I probably will do more I did one in 2015 right after the mold and I did one in 2020 and I did see changes related to the mold and So often we can tell by different parts of the brain if there's atrophy or sorry atrophy or hypertrophy We can decide if there's you know parts of the brain that have been damaged now The other piece about this is what I believe about many many things inflammatory. A lot of this can be reversible I've seen hippocampal size actually change. So this is with neuroquant We're talking about here live on instagram and facebook on zoom and we're talking about neuroquant for mold So keep your questions coming c-sider or c-side sandpiper asked about b-venom therapy with ryan setter So I don't know if you guys saw last year if you are on my feed on instagram Or if you're not you can go there There's an article that was posted in people magazine about ryan interest to setter Who came to see me regarding some mold toxicity and Lyme disease Now he was just a phenomenal person to meet and really dedicated to his health And he went on to pursue b-venom therapy and it really worked for him I am not a prescriber of b-venom therapy. I know enough about it to know that in some cases it works I wouldn't typically say it's my primary choice to start with but for some people who aren't doing well They have had success. So jury's kind of still out on that as far as how effective it is But for that particular case He and he talks about it in the people magazine article From last year last fall Hi shannon on facebook What are your thoughts on taking thyroid meds for mold issues and lower thyroid? okay, so This is a little interesting question because I wouldn't necessarily treat mold issues With thyroid medication But what happens with mold related issues is the whole hypothalamic pituitary axis is pretty massively disrupted and what can happen is the estrogen Gets up regulated through aromatase So a lot of men and women have estrogen dominant symptoms where you know heavy 10 heavy periods tender breast A weight gain Bloating all those kinds of things even endometriosis or fibrocystic breast The thyroid often gets disrupted in the sense of There's not a good feedback loop. So you look normal on your labs But you may feel hypothyroid or have those symptoms because your body's not converting from t4 to t3 So that's not uncommon at all and and so if someone really looked hypothyroid I would definitely treat them with thyroid medication But typically mold by itself isn't just a cause of hypothyroid However, mold can up regulate tgf beta Which is a marker of autoimmune disease and a driver of autoimmunity And if I saw someone with Hashimoto's and symptomatic disease and low t3 t4 I would absolutely treat them another thing that can be really helpful for exhaustion and mental brain fog is just t3 therapy As long as you're watching the tsh and making sure it's not suppressed T3 is a type of thyroid that you can use. Hello everybody on instagram. Hello everybody on facebook. We're live answering your questions today So super excited to be here Keep the questions coming. You guys have some great questions. I want to just talk again I mentioned earlier the books coming out tuesday. I'm so excited I'm so excited to hear back from you guys who have ordered the book and to get your copy But I want to actually go inside and talk a little bit about what is in the book on mold and some real practical things While you're please keep putting in your questions because I'll be watching those and I'll be answering those in between So one concept I always want to talk about is toxic load Plus infectious burden So toxic load is the environmental exposures that we all have around us I see balanced lavender is asking about the best ways to remove zero leanin Mycotoxin and what to do if you have endometriosis, I will come right back to you with that question But I want to talk briefly about toxic load and infectious burden So in the realm of functional medicine We really have this two-pronged thing that's almost always at the root of complex chronic illness It's toxic load and it's infectious burden So most of the complex chronic inflammatory issues are a combination of those two So toxic load to get today. We're talking about mold and mold related illness is a big part of that And a lot of people don't know that mold's affecting them, but it can massively massively affect Your ability to detox your ability to think your ability to heal your risk of auto immunity all kinds of things So back to your question About zero leanin and mycotoxin detox and what to do about endometriosis. So detox at the core of mold exposure is first of all Try to eliminate the exposure like get out of the environment where you're getting a lot of mold exposure That's the number one thing because anytime you have mold exposure You probably aren't really going to get very well if you stay in that exposure It's almost like your bucket your toxic load Is filling up and spilling over the top and if your buckets full You need to empty out that bucket and decrease toxic load by getting out of the exposure It's almost like you're bailing out a boat that's leaking So jamie asked from colorado living in a home with mold turned out It was sewage coming from under the home for a while diagnosed with Crohn's A foot of small intestine removed. Oh my goodness jamie. I'm so sorry You know my history has Crohn's and mold and all these things intertwined and now I see kind of the correlation with my history with cancer and Crohn's and So mold can trigger auto immunity because it triggers tgf beta and for some people that will go really high And we have two parts of our immune system t reg cells and th 17 cells Actually, there's a lot more parts than that but these are two arms that are kind of opposing T reg cells are the parts of the immune system that kind of keeps everything in check It's like the bouncers at a bar or the policemen, you know that are keeping the the the city Event at bay and not having too many people out of control So the t reg cells keep your immune system so that you don't overreact But the th 17 cells will actually help you fight infection So it drives some of those markers in the immune system to fight bacteria and fight things and if Mold is a trigger a virus is a trigger But those need to be in balance and often in mold the th 17 arm will be over fighting It'll be trying to eliminate your body that mold from your body or that exposure So what happens is as you have that exposure With the th 17 cells going up. Well, then your risk of auto immunity goes up So you have a decreased risk of Actually fighting off those infections and an increased risk of auto immunity and that is one of the reasons why mold is so toxic It can present with brain fog and fatigue and migraine headaches and histamine issues and mass cell activation syndrome And it can also present with issues with auto immunity. So new auto immunity sometimes can be from mold Hey, everybody, I just stopped by to let you know that my new book Unexpected finding resilience through functional medicine science and faith is now available for order wherever you purchase books In this book, I share my own journey of overcoming life-threatening illness and the tools and tips and tricks and hope And resilience I found along the way This book includes practical advice for things like cancer and crone's disease and other auto immune conditions infections like lime Or epstein bar and mold and biotoxin related illness What I really hope is that as you read this book you find transformational wisdom for health and healing If you want to get your own copy stop by read unexpected dot com There you can also collect your free bonuses. So grab your copy today and begin your own Transformational journey through functional medicine in finding resilience Okay, let's see a hi lively and wise hi runaway cat hi rebecca hi Trisha Hello, everybody. He's joining me live on both facebook and instagram We're answering your questions live. So just keep them coming. Say hello throw in questions anywhere you see me Like I said, I have a bunch of screens in front of me So you'll see me looking all over the place as I try to answer questions and say hello and see all of your questions Okay, so sienna says dr. C Where do you typically start when a patient has both porphyria and pans? Okay, now we're getting complex. Um, you know what? I think that there'll be maybe a whole nother Instagram and facebook live with pan and pandas. That's a big topic and probably more than we can cover today since we're talking about mold, but um, the issue there would be um porphyria can be an issue with uh, Toxic load at the core toxic loaded infectious So we're back sienna to our equation where I said functional medicine is always about toxic load and infectious burden So I would go back step back and say, okay What toxins and infections are creating the pan pandas scenario? And how do we decrease toxic load through detox through decreased exposure? And then also how do we address the inflammation created by old infections one in particular? Oh, thanks sienna Mold exposure to oh my goodness. I see you asking but also mold exposure. So what I would do first in that case sienna is Deal with the toxic load because often the toxic load the mycotoxins mold produces and other toxins Will weaken our immune system and because of that then we will actually be more at risk for those infections like old epsom bar Old Lyme disease borrelia bartonella babesia. You name it other in viruses that pop up Hi, april. Just receive your mold kit. Yay. Um, and she's asking. So I don't know if you guys know or not but if you don't mold detox box calm And my retail store doctor jill help calm you can find the mold detox box the miracle mold detox box and if you Maybe uh are looking for an easy way to get started what I did With that mold detox box I partnered with quick silver scientific And we just tried to create a way that you could do a detox on your own if you're waiting to see a doctor Or you're trying to get you know help and you need help. It's kind of like I joke about this This is a terrible analogy, but it's like the happy meal of mold right again terrible analogy But it's like all in one it just makes it very easy to get started and to start to detox if you don't have a lot of You know help and assistance and it's got everything you need there. So you're asking about If you do the mold kit, which you just received april Thyroid, okay, so the thing with thyroid is you got to make sure you take it away from binders by four hours Normally thyroid I'm a huge fan of tyrosin if you haven't asked your doctor about tyrosin. It's a t4 That is in mct oil and very very bio available easily absorbed in a really really wonderful way To take your thyroid medicine and to get good results. I've switched almost all of my patients over to tyrosin Just because it works It's basically Thyroid itself is this little tiny green of sand that's put into a little tablet so that you can swallow it But it's such a small amount that the binders like lactose and fillers and things that are in your thyroid really do make a Difference on absorption. It's why I never compound my thyroid because all of the compound you depending on how they do it Can make a big difference in what you're getting But this tyrosin it's a brand name you can get at walgreens through your doctor Is my favorite form of thyroid because it's so absorbable all it is is that thyroid medication the t4 A bio identical to your body In mct oil So it's a super clean delivery method with no fillers no additives nothing else and I just find patients do better So that's a long answer to your question about thyroid and mold Seeing some more questions come in say hello tell me what your questions are and I'm just trying to answer as many as I can Let's see dk says reasons for white gums and someone who doesn't have anemia so the gum the color of your gum tells a lot about your body and Certainly lighter gums can indicate as you mentioned anemia, which would be Lack of iron or lack of b12 or for some reason your body's not making enough hemoglobin. There's multiple reasons But there's other nutritional issues, you know, if you don't know maybe what's going on and you suspect a nutritional cause What I'd recommend is there's two tests you can get that will look at your nutritional the whole nutritional values One is vibrant micronutrients. I love this test. I do it myself over here And the other is spectro cell micronutrients and they're both. They're slightly different methods they're both a few hundred dollars and can be ordered by your doctor so vibrant micronutrients and Spectro cell those are great ways to see is there any nutritional deficiency causing the white gums Okay, so Awesome. Hello everybody. Thanks for your live questions and keep them coming Okay, I'm back to facebook to answer some of your questions And on instagram there hang in there. I'm watching you guys as well And I will be answering your questions live just to keep throwing them in the box I see john is asking about pupils constantly pulsating dilating and constricting. I have sears from mold How do I resolve this? so john pupils are related to adrenals and Also related to the sympathetic parasympathetic autonomic system, right? so sears is the chronic inflammatory immune response that comes from mold exposure And it really affects the body and one thing I learned as I was writing my book Which I've been mentioning because it's coming out on tuesday if you haven't got your copy Be sure and go to read unexpected com to grab your copy. But anyway back to Um mold and pupils dilating and changing and constricting. So this is again related to our autonomic nervous system. And so what I would say is Sears and chronic inflammatory response in the mold exposure itself really does affect our limbic system We know this because as I was researching for my book We find that when we inhale chemicals or toxins, especially mold toxins We literally get a limbic response in our brain So even if we're like calm and we're centered and we have good resources We still get a limbic like a trauma response from mold from just inhalation of chemicals And I suspect in sears. There's just dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system and because of that The pupils could dilate or constrict. Um, and that's maybe more complex than this. Um live is that that should give you an idea john Thank you jamie on congrats on my book. I hope you to sign copy So i'll just say this live if anybody wants to sign copy I am signing copies out of my store and any any copy that you order through the store Will be signed by me. Um, and all you have to do there if you'd rather get it from the store itself You can go to dr jill health dot com and just you know, search unexpected and anything you any book You order from my store will come directly from me I'll sign it before it goes out the door and you'll get a signed copy So if you prefer to have a signed copy dr jill health dot com is where you get the signed copies of my book Everyone that I mail out from my office will be signed So if you if you happen to want or if you want a gift for somebody you want Hey, dr. Jill, can you sign this for my uncle, you know, or you can sign this for my daughter or whatever? Let me know dr. Jill health dot com. Um, the book is there from our office and I will be signing all of those copies Okay, back to your questions Francis says I did an army and itino myces came up with a lot of different mycotoxins including stacky stacky batteries black toxic mold It has both levels home done in the fall windows had been open no visible mold or dusty smells I was thinking about repeating the test um So urmy let's talk a little bit about urmy urmy is a dust sample. It's q pcr which means Urmy the technology i've said this before on the lives, but i'll say it again for those of you who are new and listening Urmy basically is a dust sample of your home and it tells kind of historical data from the dust of your home And it's a really good way to check if you have maybe exposure to mold or have history of mold in the house No test is perfect. And so whether it's air sampling or an inspector or an urmy dust sample None of these are perfect But a lot of times people would do an urmy or a q pcr as it's also called Because it gives you something you can do yourself before you hire an inspector to kind of see Do I need to take this seriously? Do I need to look into you know, what's going on in my home? So it's a great way. I do recommend it I've done it in my own home every year or so even my office just to check and check in with things But urmy technology the number on the urmy was basically invalidated So I don't use the bottom line number. I just look at the mold species and again that technology is called q pcr That's still valid. So I still use what's called an urmy. I don't use the urmy score But I use the data that's that's resulted there to look at numbers of spores and things that are found in the dust And he is accurate because it's a dna of the mold in your dust in your home So if you think that you have a funny looking urmy score or say there's this patient ask about Stacky batteries popping up in an urmy you need to see about finding a source and don't assume it's not there Maybe retest you could clean and retest or you could look at water sources Is there been any damage like under say bridge line leaking? dishwasher washer dryer Some pump leaking water intrusion into the foundation of your home I mean there is a lot a lot of things actually in my book I was going to share one thing today about what to do to kind of prevent steps You can take to prevent mold growth. Let's just read a few of these right now again. This is right from my book So you get that if you get a copy, but this is a whole sidebar and steps you can Take to prevent mold growth. So number one control the moisture by investing in a dehumidifier and keeping humidity levels under 50 percent So here in colorado our humidity is very low. So my humidity in my home is usually 20 to 25 percent, which is kind of on the low side It's a little uncomfortable at times But certainly there's less to let risk of mold growth But if you're in miami or somewhere that's warm and humid you want to really keep your home level below 50 percent And use a dehumidifier if necessary If you do have a wet spot or you have a dog that you accidentally pee's on the floor You want to clean that up immediately make sure that you just dry up any spills as as much as possible Keep areas prone to mold growth clean disinfected and dry So I often use a borax solution or even diluted bleach if i'm cleaning my drains again This is not necessarily the very best way. There's other non-toxic chemicals But the dilute form of bleach if you're not treating a mold spot, which I would not recommend bleach for because it'll You know throw those spores around but sometimes just cleaning or using a very dilute solution to spray down your shower after you use it Those are not bad ideas Have your HVAC professionally cleaned at least once a year. Again, this is ideal Things that are from my book unexpected some tips and tricks on mold growth And fix leaks immediately if there's water damage you want to get that dry within 24 hours You're less likely to have a mold problem if you dry it really quickly When weather permits open your doors and your windows to get airflow I do that a lot and highly recommend it. Keep your basement well ventilated Make sure that your sump pump works and there's no overflow or moisture soaking the carpet So if you have carpets in the basement that's a big problem if you have any moisture that's in there so just be sure and check that frequently and then You can leave your bathroom fan on for 30 minutes You know the college kids are the worst or your teenagers they go in the bathroom and they take a long hot shower They make everything all humid in there and you want to make sure your vents actually vent outside And then the fan is on and you encourage your children To use the vent in the bathroom because that moisture can you know wick into wall behind wallpaper and into the walls or Other porous materials and cause problems if you don't really keep it dry Dry your bathtub and shower with the squeegee after I just have a squeegee in my shower and every time I shower Every time he's in bathtub, I squeegee it down just to make sure it's nice and dry. So there's no mold growth Clean and repair damage grout a grout and grout leakage is just a huge issue for a lot of people And we think grout is waterproof But unless you apply a routine sealant or you fix the grout This could be a big issue where you get mold growth either behind the grout or the grout leaks And behind there is just drywall and in fact it's damaged with moisture I've seen a lot of people have bathrooms that have issues So those are just a few of the tips in my book read unexpected about mold and preventing mold growth and now i'm back to your questions live here on both instagram and facebook and I'm ready to answer your questions. So let's see what else we have. Barbara asked about modified citrus pectin and detox from mold So modified citrus pectin has been studied with lots of chemicals like organophosphates and pesticides and things like that and I'm just seeing jamie. I'm going to come back to your question on dehumidifier reading over 35 I'll be back to that but right now we're talking about barbara's question about modified citrus pectin It's a great detox by our bottom line. It's great for chemicals, especially it's great for Detox of all types. It is probably not my number one thing for mold But absolutely as part of a binder or detox protocol. I love Citrus pectin if you want to find a couple good brands you can go to drjilhealth.com There's pectinate and there's a couple other brands there that are excellent and this is citrus pectin modified citrus pectin Kimberly asked do you recommend provoking agents before taking a heavy metal test? I do I do. So that's a whole thing another conversation But what you would do is you would do a pre-test and then you would take a key leading agent And then you do a post-test and you kind of measure the difference of usually it's dmsa or edta And again, this is under doctor's supervision to take that key leading agent Let's see Hannah says supplemental detox and binders simultaneously with that cortisol supplements alone ineffective because of internal growth Okay, so this question is really about Are we colonized with mold or do we just get exposed and have toxicity based on it and both of these things can happen So you can either be exposed to the mycotoxins that say behind this wall. There's mold There's not but say there was and it's releasing mycotoxins into my my study here I could have accumulation mycotoxins are so small. They're 2.5 microns or less. So basically as soon as you have a Exposure to mycotoxins they go into the lungs the alveoli goes right into the bloodstream There's no transport needed and this will go right into your bloodstream so it's really really toxic if you're inhaling mycotoxins and you can get that toxic accumulation in your tissues So when we're detoxing from mold typically what we do is we do sauna We do dry brushing epsom salt baths anything we do to mobilize those toxins We take glutathione and all of that will help mobilize the toxins that have been accumulated in your tissues out of your tissues into your bloodstream so that the kidneys and the liver can filter those and either eliminate them in your urine or in your stool And of course sweating can eliminate these as well. So that would be exposure to mycotoxins But that's very different from colonization, which was a question that I'm just Was reading earlier and the deal with colonization is if you actually inhaled mold spores Or you got colonized in your gut with seapspergillus from either inhalation or ingestion Of some contaminated food or some environmental exposure And what happens with the ingestion or the colonization in the gut or the sinuses is you can actually have Aspergillus growing or living in your body and there are different ways to tell this usually if you just do a urine mycotoxin test Real-time labs does this vibrant labs does this and great planes does this those are all good labs you can use That usually shows exposure to mold and mycotoxins But it doesn't necessarily show that you've been colonized by mold if you do a great planes organic acids or vibrant organic acids test You may then see And those are two different things and they're treated differently The first one's the most common and we treat that with binders and detox and getting that toxic load out of the body But the second one was the question I went, you know, read a couple minutes ago And that would be treating with antifungals because there's actually colonization And that would be up to your doctor to help you determine whether you're colonized or just exposed to mold because the treatments are different But you can do that treatment simultaneously And do both of those at the same time Okay, sky Callosa says gi detox is the only thing I'm on is there's something else to take and then talked about shoemaker tests coming back So gi detox is a great binder. It's one of my favorites So is plain old charcoal and you can find some of my favorite binders at drjilhealth.com Literally my very favorite new binder is called zeobind plus and it's at drjilhealth.com What it does is it combines zeolite and clay and charcoal kind of all together But literally plain old activated charcoal, which is very inexpensive easy for anybody to get is very very effective especially for some of the black Toxic molds and in my history of using binders to get healed from mold, maybe six or seven years ago I primarily used well call, which is the prescription and Charcoal and again, that was for me personally what worked You can use a lot of other things gi detox is great zeobind plus at drjilhealth.com is my favorite But there's many many ones out there and they they all work They really do so you don't have to have exactly the right type of binder I do find adding binders together and using different types of binders They have so each binder clay charcoal glycomane and well call colostaramine. They all have different Affinities for toxins so when you combine them they typically have a better affinity overall and you can take all your binders together Which makes it much easier Okay, we're going to go with just a couple more questions And then I will be back be sure and join me next Tuesday for a virtual book launch party same time for 30 mountain Here on both facebook and instagram for a virtual book launch party with dr. Jill So i'll be here to answer your questions and we'll have fun and All of that so Okay misty what supplements treatment do you recommend for reflux? Okay, we'll take this one. This is a great question Um And then uh shinaya asked about spore knocks i'll talk about both of these So reflux so reflux can be a histamine issue. It can be a low stomach acid issue It can be a high stomach acid issue So first thing is with reflux I say what is causing the reflux and I do some work up with the gut With the blood work and try to find out the cause because first of all We know the cause we know how to treat it if you have low stomach acid taking the tain hcl With pepsin Will cure reflux, but that's if you have low stomach acid if you have high stomach acid or you have histamine issues Typically what i'll do is i'll try deglycerized licorice. We have a favorite called dgl Plus that you can get at dr. Jill health dot com and that's my favorite I have people take it one prior to meals and it usually resolves the problem Another thing is zinc soothe also at dr. Jill health dot com This is a zinc harnessing supplement that coats and soothes esophagus So if someone's really aggravated with heartburn first of all check histamine issues check mast cell activation treat that problem But then as far as treating the symptoms My dgl plus the zinc soothe those are one two and they work very well And sometimes a powder works nice that you can mix with water and drink And the two that I like and they're very similar at dr.

Okay. I'm back looking at instagram if you guys have any questions there I'm live and I will answer those and we'll do one more question here Sporinox let's see should I ask about sporinox sporinox is iatriconazole iatriconazole is an azole antifungal that treats especially aspergillus so Compared to fluconazole, which is similar class fluconazole is better for Candida and sporinox or atriconazole is better for mold So depending on if someone's colonized with candida or aspergillus I will pick based on what they're colonized with and what's more effective There can be resistance from these meds. So you have to you know, make sure with your doctor You're using them carefully and not inducing any resistance Because that can happen with azole family. I also use a lot of nice statin. It's very safe. It's non-absorbable and You can use it even in baby, you know, very young infants is very very safe because it's non-absorbable Yeah, Lisa said fluconazole may be extremely depressed. Yeah, if you have a fungal burden and you start treating aggressively with the azoles You will have pretty massive die-off symptoms and depression can be one of them So, um, well, I just want to thank everyone for joining me today.
