Most doctors don't believe the people who are saying that for some people to recover from mold illness requires more than just removing oneself from the moldy environs.

Isn’t that enough? I lived in a place with mold around 10 years ago, brrrr
If you are one of the approx 16% of the population unable to clear mold toxins from your body, the mold toxins can persist and keep you sick for decades after the end of any exposure to moldy environments.
Shit. What should I do?
If you aren't chronically ill, I don't think you need do anything. There is a blood test for whether you can detox mold toxins, but a doctor would need to order it, and, e.g., Medicare would not pay for it.
Can you give some sources/context on this? (Not doubting what you said, genuinely curious)

I see that they're saying 24% of the population, not the 1-in-6 I recall reading from some other source. Also, I seem to have been wrong about the test's needed to be ordered by a doctor (except in Pennsylvania).
