Around the age of thirteen, acne became a significant issue for me. It spread beyond my face, covering my back and scalp with nodules and cysts. Acutane was the only effective treatment, but its effects were short-lived, lasting only a few months after discontinuation.

I sought medical attention from various specialists, including Vanderbilt, Bowman Gray Dermatology at Wake Forest, and most recently, The Ultra Wellness Center. Unfortunately, these visits were largely ineffective.

Later in life, I was diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), which required monthly injections or drainage of affected areas. The constant reminders of the lack of a cure were disheartening.

Eventually, I was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), which heightened my sensitivity to histamines. I was hospitalized twice due to severe reactions to histamines.

A urine mold test yielded a negative result, but a few years later, my wife informed me that alternative mold tests may provide more accurate results. Sure enough, my subsequent test revealed a positive response to five out of five molds tested for.

Despite the positive mold test results, doctors continued to dismiss them, citing the perceived ineffectiveness of urine mold tests. This dismissal highlights the tendency of doctors to overlook alternative approaches that don’t involve medication.
