Join Dr. Jill Carnahan and special guest Ruby Tischoff as they uncover the Role of Galectin-3 in Breakthrough Strategies for Mold and Environmental Illness! Galectin-3 is a protein that has garnered attention for its involvement in various pathological conditions, including inflammatory cascades, hyperactivation, and fibrosis. Dr. Jill Carnahan and guest Ruby Tischoff will explain how targeting Galectin-3 can be a game-changer for individuals suffering from mold illness and other environmental sensitivities. Key Points ✅ Galectin-3 as a Central Driver of Chronic Inflammation and Toxic Load: Ruby explained how galectin-3 acts as a pro-inflammatory lectin that contributes to chronic illness by promoting fibrosis, immune dysregulation, and cellular "trapping" of toxins like mycotoxins and lipopolysaccharides (LPS). It also facilitates pathogen persistence through biofilm formation and immune evasion, making it a critical target in addressing environmental illness. ✅ Modified Citrus Pectin (PectiSol) as a Clinically Studied Galectin-3 Blocker: The conversation highlighted how PectiSol binds and inhibits galectin-3, disrupting its pathological effects while enhancing cellular communication, immune modulation, and safe detoxification. Peer-reviewed research supports its efficacy in reducing toxic body burden, preventing biofilm-associated infections, and improving outcomes in fibrotic and oncologic conditions. ✅ Supporting Sensitive Patients through Gentle, Targeted Detox: Discussed the importance of tailoring detoxification protocols for environmentally sensitive individuals. Ruby emphasized that by lowering galectin-3, PectiSol helps reduce inflammatory cascades, Herxheimer reactions, and immune hyperactivation, thereby allowing for a more gradual and well-tolerated detoxification process. Ruby Tischoff, FDN-P Ruby Tischoff, FDN-P is a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and natural health expert with over 25 years of experience in integrative medicine and nutraceutical science. Ruby has worked closely under the clinical mentorship of renowned physician Isaac Eliaz, MD, and is a recognized expert in the fields of galectin-3 research and therapeutic targeting, safe detoxification, and nutritional science, among other areas. Ruby's commitment as a FDN-P emphasizes addressing root causes rather than masking symptoms, through strategic, individualized integration of leading-edge solutions grounded in evidence-based practices and outstanding clinical success. ecoNugenics ecoNugenics supplements are rooted in a blend of science and real-world results.

Episode 57 of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now!https://www.chemicalsensitivitypodcast.org/It's the first in an ongoing series that we're calling The MCS Podcast Book Club. I'm speaking with four women with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) — two in the U.S. and two from Canada. They are Caren Kirk, Donna Reid, Jacqueline Rice, and Ronda Sternhagen.The women share their thoughts about the 2020 book, “The Sensitives: The Rise of Environmental Illness and the Search for America's Last Pure Place” by Oliver Broudy. The book is about a journey Broudy took to try to understand MCS. We discuss how the author conducted a lot of research, outlines how we are all exposed to toxic chemicals, but according to my guests, fails to put the false argument that MCS is in our heads to rest.

In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the growing epidemic of Building-Related Illness (BRI) and how modern building practices are contributing to a hidden health crisis. Our guest, Seth Jones, CEO of Hygia Living Corp. and creator of Superstratum, shares his personal journey from a successful international music career to the founding of a company focused on healing homes and improving health. Seth reveals surprising insights into how the environments we live in play a direct role in our physical and mental well-being. From the effects of mold and mycotoxins on our health to the unseen ways they influence our energy and mental states, this episode will change the way you think about the spaces you occupy. Key Takeaway: Our environments are the primary contributors to our overall health, affecting us in ways we never imagined. By understanding and addressing Building-Related Illness, we can transform our homes from toxic spaces to healing environments. Guest Bio: Seth Jones is the CEO of Hygia Living Corp., where he and his team developed Superstratum, the first patent-pending process to remove mycotoxins from homes. His work has focused on understanding the hidden causes of Building-Related Illness (BRI) and developing products and solutions to address these issues. Before founding Hygia Living, Seth spent 15 years as an international songwriter, producer, and DJ. However, a personal experience with BRI changed everything, leading to the creation of Superstratum. Now, Seth and Hygia Living are on a mission to heal the estimated 66 million homes in the U.S. that create toxic conditions leading to BRI. With 170 million people currently living in these homes, the Hygia Living mission to heal our homes has never been more important. Seth believes that our health can only rise to the level of our environment and that a pure, toxin-free environment is essential for the healing of the body, mind, and soul.

Dr. Judy Tsafrir is a holistic adult and child psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and a Harvard Medical School faculty member. Although classically trained in the traditional medical and psychiatric paradigm, she feels that suppression of symptoms with pharmaceuticals results in the degradation of health rather than healing. Her approach is now oriented to identifying the root cause of illness using the methods of functional medicine. In this conversation, we discuss how Dr. Tsafrir helps the environmentally injured community and how she manages her own mold sensitivities.

She is currently writing a queer feminist history of toxicology in the U.S., in which she argues that racial, gendered, and economic hierarchies are embedded into the science itself. These inherent biases, in turn, help explain how and why marginalized peoples remain disproportionately more exposed to toxic environmental chemicals.In our conversation, Melina explores:How society became inundated with synthetic chemicals or toxicants.How women, especially women of color, factory- and farm-workers, LGBTQ+ people, and members of other socially marginalized groups, are often over-burdened by toxic exposures.What endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are and how they challenge core tenets of toxicology.How over-exposed communities are pushing back against the chemical industry.Melina Packer's websiteTwitterSupport the show

As a researcher, Andrea builds on her experience as a practicing birth doula to examine the impact of chemicals on the endocrine system. She also specializes in how chemicals affect childbearing women, foetuses, and infants. In our conversation, Andrea explores how:The placenta does not protect the foetus from chemicals.Many women spend time and energy identifying products that potentially keep their unborn children and infants safe.Reducing the number of chemicals is everyone's responsibility. Breastfeeding can pass chemicals from mothers to infants, but in spite of this, it is still widely recommended because of its benefits.Links:Website: Andrea Lily Ford, Ph.D."Purity is not the Point: Chemical Toxicity, Childbearing, and Consumer Politics as Care." 2020 paper by Andrea Lily Ford.Support the show

In 2016, Danika Deva's life was turned upside-down by the sudden onset of severe environmental illness. Desperate, isolated, hopeless, and hurting, she begged God for healing. To this day, Danika lives what she calls “a bubble life,” to manage life-threatening allergic reactions to an ever-shifting range of environmental and dietary triggers. She will tell you, “It's hard to live like this.” But amid her suffering, she has found hope and closeness to God.Danika's God-given Ph.D. in "Hard Knocks" and "God Rocks" has equipped her to inspire others to be intentional, and to choose joy and hope in hardship so they can not only heal, but flourish. Key Questions:Where in your “hard knocks” do you see God working?What opportunity do you have to choose joy today? Key Scripture:“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11Additional Resources:Read more from Danika Send Crystal a message with your comments and questions.

This episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is about finding community and supporting one another online.Since so many people with MCS are dismissed and misdiagnosed by healthcare professionals, the internet is often a vital source of information about the illness. And because of the social isolation that many folks with MCS experience, connecting with others online and supporting one another can play an important role in many people's lives. In this episode, Aaron speaks with Brenda Fincher, a longtime administrator, and Shelley Petit, a member of The Multiple Chemical Sensitivity group on Facebook. It was formed about seven years ago, is one of the largest MCS groups online, and now has more than 8,200 members from around the world.In their conversation, Aaron asks Brenda and Shelley about the role online community can play in the lives of people with MCS, how they have personally benefited from being involved with The Multiple Chemical Sensitivity group, and how they see their online activities as a form of activism.Thank you for listening!If you're a member of an online MCS group, please feel free to share info on posts about this episode.Check out new podcast episodes twice a month.

In this episode, Aaron speaks with Michel Dumont. Michel is a queer, two-spirited, disabled, Métis artist who lives and works with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). He resides in Thunder Bay in northern Ontario, Canada.A lot of Michel's art involves what he calls ‘faux taxidermy.' He makes beautiful, colourful animal objects — bears are some of his favourites — with found taxidermy and covers them over with discarded vintage tile. The results are fabulous mosaic pieces. Michel also creates wearable art using packing tape, mylar, cellophane and LED lights. His work has been exhibited at galleries across Canada. In this podcast chat, Michel speaks about how he uses materials that are safer for him as a person with MCS, and that sometimes he's been judged for his choices. He also talks about the challenges of exhibiting art as someone with MCS, how he draws on his Indigenous and Métis roots, and how his mother's experiences as a survivor of the Indian Residential School System influence his creative practices.The Canadian government and a number of churches removed and separated Indigenous children from their families and communities and forced them to attend residential schools. Most of the 139 Indian Residential Schools stopped operating by the mid-1970s, but the last federally-run school closed in the late 1990s. In recent years, the remains of hundreds of children have been found on the sites of former Indian Residential Schools. Part of this episode deals with traumatic memories of past abuse. If you are a survivor of the Residential School System, you can call the National Indian Residential School Crisis Line anytime. The number is 1-866-925-4419.Thank you for listening!Links:Michel Dumont on InstagramOn Tokenization, Funding and Being an Indigenous Artist who is Differently AbledSupport the show

Amelia Hill is living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and Environmental Illness. These terms might sound vague or nondescript, but essentially it means that your body reacts badly to many things in our environment. Do you know that mild headache you get if you spend time in the ‘perfume' section of a department store? That is a chemical sensitivity reaction. Now multiply that to include any smells that are not found in nature – almost everything in human lives right now – and your body reacts in a way that leaves you unable to get out of bed and even just opening your eyes takes a monumental effort, that is where you find people like Amelia. It is a world of complete isolation. It is a world of frustration of not knowing the cause or how to seek treatment. It is a world where even a hug from a loved one can mean that you spend the following weeks in bed. It is a world where hope is a commodity that comes and goes. It is also a world that is a mystery to many doctors. This episode is raw. It is at times, difficult to listen to. Amelia shares her life with me and we discuss: · Finding hope when even the last of her doctors has none · How fighting for your mental health is just as important as your physical health · Loneliness in a world where physical contact is non-existent I came out of this podcast a better human than when I went into recording it. I feel blessed that Amelia felt comfortable enough to gift me her full story. Completely raw and authentic.

Most of us seldom give attention to the air that we are breathing unless something calls attention to it. But much more sickness is caused by poor quality air than is generally thought possible. Though many of us are trapped in an environment that presents poor air quality, there are things that we can do to lessen the effects of depleted or polluted air. It does matter where you choose to live and what kind of house you occupy. However, even if you live or work in a sub-optimal atmosphere, which most of us do, there are things that you can do to recover from the slow suffocation that many people experience at work, at home, or in their sleep. Join us and learn about the air that most of us take for granted but should not.
Cindy, FNP has a deep conversation with Dr. Shanhong Lu about the role our toxic environment plays on chronic illness. Since the body has a limited ability to detoxify on its own, there are very important raw materials such as antioxidants that are needed to achieve removal of harmful substances. Once the body is over burdened from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the pesticides in our food, illness can set in. Supporting all pathways for detoxification is key to a healthy body and mind.

The world of a baby before birth is richer and more complex than we can imagine. Maryanne Sea shares her experience working as a birth intuitive, one who communicates intuitively with babies before they are born. Her experience is diverse and includes working with babies who have come specifically to help a parent; those who are dying in utero, and those who do not want to embody. Always, the goal is the same: to listen carefully to what a baby feels and needs, to respond and, in the process, to magnify the love that the baby feels.

Susan Shadburne has delivered transformational healing of the body/mind and Spirit to clients worldwide since 2002. She has been a strikingly successful guide to clients who are no longer willing to tolerate their physical and emotional pain. In spite of recurring illness from childhood, for 25 years she was a screenwriter/director/producer, winning more than 40 awards in international film festivals and writing two films nominated for Academy Awards. It all ended when she became completely disabled with a dual diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis and Environmental Illness.She tried every healing modality without success. What she had left was intuition, intention, and the same determination she had brought to her film career. During over 6000 hours of intense study and prayer, she received channeled information about how the body/mind and spirit create dis-ease and how they can be harnessed to create health. For a year she experienced the state of “bliss” often reported by those undergoing deep transformation, describing it as a time of Grace in which healing concepts were coming faster than she could absorb them. Susan understood that short of complete disability, she would never have heard her Life's Purpose calling: to use her personal journey to assist others in pain. Among her 700+ clientele are many health care professionals and their patients, whose testimonials can be found on her website. Considering the chaos in the present health care system, Susan is an advocate for reclaiming responsibility for one's own health. Working one-on-one via phone and Skype, leading webinars and seminars, she is passionate about reaching greater numbers of people who joyfully embrace that responsibility.www.susanshadburne.com
