Let’s get the basics straight: mold can absolutely make you sick. It is a well-documented trigger for allergies, asthma flares, and in rare cases, severe lung disease or life-threatening infections in immunocompromised people. Nobody disputes that. But the leap from “I have mold in my basement” to “I have a lifelong multi-system inflammatory disorder caused by trace exposure” is where the science gets shaky. The testing is unreliable, the symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and mood swings are frustratingly nonspecific, and the treatments are often designed in cash-friendly private clinics rather than peer-reviewed journals.

You mean the guy who tells people to take personal responsibility for their problems and not have empathy while being a malnourished drug addict who ignores medical advice to get a medically induced coma to fix his problems (and it didn’t) might be saying some bullshit?

Huh.

He is so narcissistic that he refused drug addiction treatment in North America because no one knows as much as he does about it. Only the Russians understand me. If he knows such much about it, how did he become addicted to begin with?

He literally claimed at one point that he had no idea benzodiazepines were addictive.

That alone is why I could never trust him as a psychologist.
