please don't randomly dose maois because someone on the internet said so. Talk to a doctor.

Also, for whatever its worth house molds (black molds) are not the same as the fungi that infect us (like candida sp.), and if you somehow did get infected with a fungus that usually isn't part of our flora (like aspergillus does), you have a very severe underlying medical condition and need medical attention immediately.

It isn't an maoi unless you take much higher dosages, no different from fearing drowning from drinking water. It acts through hormesis (low dose effect is different from high dose) so by the time it's an MAOI (30mg+), it turns your pee blue and it's used to cure maleria and UTIs.

I don't believe I am infected but mold spores did 'something' and MB helps. I wasn't trying to use it for candida but it was just scraping my tongue as usual and noticing there was nothing there.

I wish there was a good intermediate class of doctor that knew about non patent medicines more besides YouTube. They're not taught "yesterday's" medicine that might have worked better.

If someone doesn't mind the winter air, I also practice the German way of airing my house too, twice a day. It's called lüften.
