Dr. Joseph Brewer M.D. and colleagues have been researching and developing a treatment protocol for toxic mold colonies in the sinuses during the last couple of years. He is one of the early doctors for ME/CFS. (He is one of only two ME/CFS specialists I've ever been to and this has my attention.)
 
Chris Cairns, The Patient Advocate, has been blogging about Dr. Brewer's work in a concise and easy to understand way with links to published papers. These are the most recent blogs.
Thanks, @consuegra.

Dr. Joseph Brewer and Mycotoxins, an update
http://cfspatientadvocate.blogspot.com/2014/03/dr-joseph-brewer-and-mycotoxins-update.html
 
There is a long thread that went from the title subject of testing for mycotoxins to include Dr. Brewer's research and protocol for treating toxic mold colonies in the sinuses. This is not the same thing as toxic mold avoidance or "extreme mold avoidance", but that subject is also written about in the now 35 page thread.
 
The reports by a few patients on the Brewer protocol start at approximately page 8. It is described as an extended and difficult treatment to go through so I especially appreciate that input.

BTW, if anybody else who knows more about this would like to start a thread on this subject, please do! I just thought others might have missed this earlier like I did until I chanced upon it on The Patient Advocate.
