Overcoming Chronic Mold Toxicity and Severe Congestion After Ten Years of Illness

Meg - she just has this way of talking to you. She's really also, like... a "puzzle-piecer- put-her-together." She, like, sees what's going on within your body and says, "ok, we're going to look at this first. We have to focus on this and then we'll move on to the next thing and the next thing. And she, like, tries to put it all together for you so that you can get this overall health approach that really works. Meg Vroegindewey I live in Kalamazoo, Michigan and I'm a photographer and also... a mom. This all started about 10 years ago when I had my first kid. I went to have a glass of wine and I broke out in complete hives. I went from thinking it was, like, kind of a fluke to then noticing that each time I ate different items - it just kind of progressed into flare-ups like hives. Majority of the time it was complete congestion but almost, like, a pneumonia- type of feeling. Like, it was really heavy in my lungs. I could just never get a full breath. It was really bad when I slept, so I could never sleep, I had to basically sleep, like, sitting up. So, I went to a number of different doctors, primary care doctors. And they all basically said, "ok, just get on a histamine blocker." And then they gave me steroids for an inhaler. Nobody believed me that something was wrong. My blood work always came back fine, everything was fine. But I was, like, slowly dying - at least that's how I felt. And I lost like almost 30 pounds, so I was just not eating and not sleeping and just feeling really terrible. So, I saw Dr. Meg Mill and I noticed that she was doing some type of... likea round table- type of talk with lots of different doctors, functional medicine doctors from around the country. And I just tuned into that and I started listening to each doctor speak with Meg. I didn't just want to go to someone, like, randomly. I wanted to do my research on them. And I was like, 'ok I have to try it otherwise I'm just afraid I'm going to slowly die.' And of course, then getting in and talking to her she just makes you feel very comfortable. I guess the biggest thing is just knowing that she knew what to do versus my other doctor saying, "oh, well, here's some pharma meds take this and you'll be fine." I just don't know my root causes So it was really frustrating to just talk to primary care doctors and then give me, like, more meds. But I didn't want to take those meds because it wasn't healing me, it was just fixing that immediate, like, problem. So, I was really looking forward to talking to somebody who knew what they were talking about and that was Meg. I get a hold of Meg, of course, and she's, like, "ok I'm gonna send you some blood work to do at your home." Which I thought was a little crazy because I've been in a primary care situation where they're, like, taking vials of blood. So, she sends the kit to my house. I just do a poke of my finger and put the blood in the little circle droplet areas and then send that in. Also did a urine test and sent that in. I kinda was thinking 'I'm going to trust the process but I don't know, this is kind of crazy.' Just so simple, right? So, then I sent it out and she ended up getting the results back and, of course, we had consult and she told me that my mycotoxin's were really... really high. And so, we needed to start detoxing for mold. Immediately then from there, she gave me some supplements to take and it was so crazy because, within like, I would say, a week and a half, I was noticeably different. I was like, 'I can eat that little bit of banana and not, like, go crazy.' Or 'I could have a little bit of citrus and not go nuts.' Like, I was just feeling 'wow, I can eat that.' And then it just slowly kept getting better and better. My congestion cleared up. And then my biggest thing that was always so frightening to me was, like, that pneumonia-feel when I slept and I couldn't sleep and I'd cough all night... and it was interesting because I was starting to feel better, obviously, but then my husband noticed. He's like, "you're not wheezing" or "you're not coughing as much." And so I knew it was really working. Now I've been doing it for like, maybe three months. I would say, I'm close to 100% - probably around like 95% I trust her so much. She knows what she's talking about for sure and I couldn't be more grateful for feeling better, finally. And feeling like I'm on the right track. I mean, for years and years I kept going down the road of like, 'I'm just never going to get better. Like, nobody can help me. Nobody believes me.' And then to finally feel heard and know that she has my back... it's huge for me.
