Middletown, Ohio – A teenager in Ohio faced a puzzling health crisis for two years before discovering the hidden culprit within her family’s home. After contracting Covid-19 at the age of 14, Ava Chambers experienced a rapid decline in health. Following her recovery from Covid-19, Ava was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, an autoimmune condition causing inflammation and ulcers in the colon and rectum. As Ava struggled with symptoms like hair loss, fatigue, and dizziness, doctors initially attributed her conditions to stress and mental health issues, leaving her mother frustrated with the lack of answers. It wasn’t until two years later that blood and urine tests revealed mold toxins as the source of Ava’s illness.
Further investigations at their home confirmed the presence of mold in the basement, which was venting into Ava’s room, affecting her health while leaving the rest of the family unaffected. Following the removal of mold from their home, Ava, now 19, began a remarkable recovery journey. The mycotoxins produced by the mold likely contributed to Ava’s inflammatory issues and autoimmune response, exacerbating her condition.
In addition to mold exposure, Ava tested positive for a gene mutation that compromises the immune system, making her more susceptible to mold-related injuries. She also had two strains of Lyme disease and the Epstein-Barr virus, further complicating her health. Despite the challenges, the family believes that mold was the root cause of Ava’s ulcerative colitis, leading to a change in her treatment approach.
Ava now manages her condition with a personalized detoxification plan, focusing on antifungal medications, nasal sprays, and holistic remedies like halotherapy and activated charcoal. Her mother emphasizes the importance of awareness about toxins in our environment and encourages caregivers to trust their instincts when faced with mysterious illnesses in children. The family hopes that sharing Ava’s story will lead to necessary changes in medical practices and raise awareness about the impact of environmental toxins on health.
