So, this happened.
I had to have my entire basement gutted due to a water leak and mold growth situation.
My hubby was out of town. I was handling work and three kids solo.
I am HIGHLY reactive to mold.
Was I freaking out?? HELL yeah.
I started to pull out every tool I had for mold exposure and protection from it. Plus I had had mold exposure and needed to make sure that none of those spores took hold in my body.
But it was not just the mold. They had to gut out and rebuild the entire basement. And yes, I have a ton of chemical sensitivities.
Rebuild would involve construction materials, dust, polymers, solvents, paints and glues.
Then I had my second freak out. Oh crap crap crap!!!! How am I going to figure this out?
Lots of deep breathing was happening. Lots of praying. Lots of centering and grounding, when literally the ground underneath me was coming undone.
SO, what did I do?
- I prayed. A LOT.
- Overnighted 4 diffusers and used Anthony’s remedy from Spirit about diffusing thyme, bergamot, sage & rosemary. I already have a stock of these oils, for an emergency situation just like this. So I got the diffusers going.
- Contacted a green restoration company (amongst others). Researched the antimicrobial agents they used to kill mold. It was a combination of 35% hydrogen peroxide and a custom blend of an agent that is not based on synthetic chemicals. They gave me all the specs and it looked ok to me, so we decided to go ahead with that.
- I started to locate the cleanest non-VOC paints and woods that I could find. I found a local supplier and ordered the paints. There is a brand called SafeCoat (which ranges in a similar price to mainstream paints) that is really amazing. Even the painters commented that it was a really high quality paint and they liked working with it.
- I located several pure bamboo floors and also a few hardwoods (that were not expensive) that were pure not blended, nor laminates, not just the covering on the floor. This ensures the best quality of material with the least chemical gunk in it. The best way to do this would be to use pure wood and stain it and lacquer it with clean non-VOC materials. However, we did not have time to do that.
- I started to eat a lot of the aromatic herbs in my diet – totally fresh herbs chewing them straight up, like sage, oregano, rosemary and thyme.
- Upping my spirulina which also removes mold from the body. I started doing about 2 tbsps a day.
- I take aloe every day and I upped that too, especially since it is highly anti mold.
- I increased the amount of chaga tea I was drinking daily from 1 tsp to 2 tsp a day. If you are not already doing this with mold exposure, just start with the 1 tsp a day.
- Add in rose hips tea, if you are not already doing it. It is powerful against removing mold in the body.
- In general the foods I increased were apples, apricots, dates, figs, grapes, kiwi, melon, oranges, honey, pears, pomegranates, celery (of course), cruciferous, leafy greens & sweet potatoes.
I used a lot of recommendations personally that I have put into my Greening Your Home webinar which you can snag here. I have walked into the basement several times and hung out there for a while and I have had no reaction to anything.
For this, I am SO deeply grateful. The last thing I needed was to have a reaction that would trigger more viral activity.
And yes, this can happen to any of us at any time, because you never know when there is a storm brewing inside that could trigger into something big. So prevention and caution is the way to best protect yourself.
And prayer.
Lots of prayer.
Thank you as always for sharing this journey with me.
It is my greatest honor to serve you,
With health,
Muneeza

Please, could you please tell me what I can use to clean my humidifier to prevent mold and other problems that is natural and won’t hurt me to breath in if there’s residue in the humidifier that’s left over? I’m desperate, could you please help?
Jasper, we recommend a humidifier with a UV light to kill of pathogens in the water. I have one linked in my amazon store. https://www.amazon.com/shop/muneeza_medical_intuitive/list/22BGW5X6ZPYMB?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d
Hi Muneeza,
A number of green remediation companies in North America fog homes use a combination of InstaPURE and EverPURE for their mold treatments. These companies claim both are safe for people who are seriously ill and/or who suffer with severe chemical sensitivities. I was told that InstaPURE is peroxyacetic acid, also known as peracetic acid, and is created by combining hydrogen peroxide and vinegar. It is supposed to kill mold on contact. I was told that EverPURE is used to inhibit future mold growth and is made with silver ions and zeolite. I know that Medical Medium has told us that zeolites currently on the market are contaminated and damaging to consume in supplement form. I am also aware that we have to be careful with silver supplements. Since it is not as though I am going to eat either of these agents, I’ve been wondering if mold remediation treatments using these agents are actually as safe as claimed. I am sure that a residue of these agents will be left on people’s stuff and that some of it will be absorbed into people’s bodies through their skin.
I am curious: did the green remediation company, which you had treat your home, use the same or similar agents in their treatment? If not, what is your take on the safety of these agents?
Victoria, Thank you so much for your comment. They used INstaPURE in my home. I was very very comfortable with it. I would still think that EverPURe would be OK because you are not ingesting and especially if you don’t have any other options. I hope this helps.
Hi Muneeza!
I accidentally bit into a dried fig and after swallowing that piece, saw that it was all moldy inside. :((( I sprayed some colloidal silver into my mouth.. took a couple drops of oil of oregano.. ate an apple. What else would you suggest? Thanks so much!
Thyme water, aloe water. Anyway, food mold is the not the bad mold. The bad toxic mold is black mold usually from industrial chemicals. Have you listened to Anthony’s podcast on mold? Here it is: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/medical-medium-podcast/id1133835109?i=1000495755203 I am sure you will be very enlightened listening to the show.
Oh thank you so much! Will definitely listen to the podcast!
Have you tips which Filling material for pillows and quilt use? Feather, wool, silk. Maybe share you those in the webinar greening your home?
Muneeza. I wasn’t as educated as you when I had my water leak in my basement. It started in my garage and it is under my house. My brother and friend fixed the pipe and started to clean up the water. We got it all dried out. Nut then the mold grew.I had it remediated. But lookung back, I should have called the insurance company right away and had them clean it up and cover the expenses. Did your insurance company cover your expenses. I wasn’t so smart with my issue. I believe it is still causing me problems. Hrlp
Jill I am so sorry for the leak. Did you use Anthony’s anti mold oils?
Dear Muneeza, thanks for sharing these tips. I have a mould situation in one of the rooms and bathroom in my apartment. I was wondering if you could clarify if the diffusing blend has to run in the whole apartment or just in the affected room, and if my child can inhale the blends or is it better done when he is in school. Thanks once again
