Why Your House is Still TOXIC With Biotoxins After Cleaning (ft. John Banta)

Killing mold isn't enough—and might be making you sicker. In this episode of The Vitality Hour, Dr. Eric Dorninger and John Banta dive deep into the science of medically important remediation. Common "solutions" like biocides and citrus fogging often fail to address the root problem and can actually rupture spores, making the air more toxic for those with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). There's a critical difference between killing mold and physically removing it and modern construction materials are fueling a biotoxin epidemic.
