Postural orthostatic means that when you get up, you're, you're dizzy, which I would argue half of people probably feel that way because everyone's adrenal glands have just been shot.

It's, it's dysautonomia.

You asked if it's like autoimmune and it very much is like autoimmune, even though if it's, it's not technically autoimmune, but they have the same triggers.

And so what'll happen is they'll get up and their heart will like anxiety, like crazy.

Their heart starts racing.

They're shaking uncontrollably.

If they don't faint, they're very close to fainting.

What I had found was that a lot of times, right, there was viral issues like Epstein-Barr and a lot of mold.

Like mold is the great exacerbator is what I'll say.

It will make everything worse.

But you also have to balance your insides against mold.

So you have to balance your gut flora.

You have to get rid of the fungal overgrowth that's inside you instead of just the external mold that you're breathing in.

It allows your body to fend it off more efficiently is what I'll say.

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark

it all came down to, in my opinion, in my experience, what is producing the most amount of histamine in the body.

And that histamine is constantly turning on your stress hormones to counteract the histamine.

And that's your adrenal glands.

And so as soon as the system is overwhelmed to like,

system failure, that's when now it's like it's POTS.
