Working With Physicians - Irvine, Orange County, CA
Most Californians recognize that mold can be a health hazard, whether it be found in the walls of your work environment, office buildings, schools, home, college dormitory, base housing, ceilings, or anywhere else. Fewer Californians know the extent to which mold can impact one’s mental and physical health, with mold having been linked to rashes, colds, respiratory issues, mood swings, and even depression. Mold has also been linked to Lyme disease and has been cited as a possible factor in slow or nonexistent patient recovery. Properly recognizing, diagnosing, and treating mold-related illnesses can be tricky, even for the most seasoned of medical professionals, particularly when the symptoms can so easily be confused for other factors as written about in the article from Global Lyme Alliance above.
That’s why GPInspect works hand-in-glove with oncologists, internal medicine doctors, and Naturopathic doctors, hospitals, private practices, and other physicians across Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino, San Fernando and Riverside County to ensure healthcare professionals are educated on and understand the potential health risks posed by mold. This is particularly important for patients suffering from Lyme Disease and others with compromised immune systems, as “mold, mycotoxins, and heavy metals can seriously impact recovery,” according to Jennifer Crystal writing for the Global Lyme Alliance.
GPInspect’s medical consultations and advice is informed by our twenty-two years in the industry. We have certifications from the American Society of Home Inspectors, Structural Mold Investigators, American Council of Accredited Certification, HUD, FEMA, and much more.
Many doctors recognize the importance of having the full picture of a patient’s circumstances before making a diagnosis and heading down a path of treatment. Environmental factors play a large role in that determination. GPInspect has assisted physicians for decades with examining those environmental factors in order to take the best course of treatment for each patient. GPInspect’s services include allergen assay, formaldehyde checks, lead paint testing, volatile organic compound testing, Electromagnetic Field testing, as well as examinations for E.coli, coliform, legionella, fecal contamination, and general water quality. Lyme Literate Medical Doctors (LLMDs) are encouraged to contact us to discuss testing for heavy metals, mycotoxins, and mold exposure to assist in diagnosing and treating Lyme disease and harsh allergy issues.
In addition to general environmental testing, our mold and fungus experts perform air quality tests, direct surface sampling, ERMI testing, HERTSMI-2 testing, surveys of indoor mood, mycotoxin panels, and more.
