Moldy Movie Review.
gate-9975926 October 2015
I thought this movie did an excellent job explaining the many ways that mold affects some individuals. It goes on to explain why some people are more affected than others due to their genetics. What was missing was the testing involved to see if a person has biotoxin illness or CIRS. If the movie is remade they should consider including what tests are performed and why they are performed. Also, they need to explain more about treatment options to help a person return to feeling better. The end of the movie lead you to think that with treatment that all was well and people could live a normal life. It should be explained that 50% of the US buildings are water damaged and to avoid these buildings for employment, doctors appts, schools, etc. is very hard, thus re-exposure occurs and often makes the illnesses reappear. The biggest hurdle is to get to feeling better again and then you have to worry about re-exposure. The movie was positive in identifying sources of mold and other toxins that affect individuals and it was very descriptive of the types of illnesses many often experience. There just needs to a be more added...add medical testing, what they show and what the treatment options are... also, explain that for some very sick individuals this is timely healing process, it doesn't happen over night. I thought the movie had a great beginning and I would like to see more.

Life-changing documentary!!!
mariahdaniellewest19 October 2015
This movie is so desperately needed because of our current health crisis today! I have been sick for 12 years, have seen 45 doctors with very little help, and when I came across this movie I wept with relief, as it was the FIRST time in 12 years where I felt like I knew what was going on in my body. WAY TO GO, DAVE ASPREY! WAY TO CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I am sharing this information with everyone who will listen to me! There is a great mix of patients and practitioners in this documentary, and the viewer gets a wide-angle view of what mold illness can look like. I can not emphasize how valuable this movie can be to those who have struggled with their health for years and have not received a proper diagnosis (IBS, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue do not count as proper diagnoses). I am a patient at The Cleveland Clinic for Functional Medicine, and they were the first doctors who pointed me in the direction of mold illness and CIRS. As I researched on my own, I discovered Bulletproof and the Moldy Movie and my life will be forever better!

Very Informative
kellidussault7 October 2015
This is an excellent film. Dave Asprey did a wonderful job telling the story about how toxic mold can impact one's life and health. For anyone wanting to know the truth, Dave walks you through the lives of several families that have been impacted by toxic mold exposure. It is a must see if you are someone who has mold in their home, or you want to understand what a friend or family member is going through when their lives are turned upside down from toxic exposure.

This film explores how to properly perform mold remediation. It also discusses cross contamination of your belongings. Dave also speaks about who is most affected by toxic mold, and why. He seeks to bring the truth of it's devastation, but also ends with a message of hope for those who have been impacted by mold.

Must-see if you have a chronic illness that could be related to mold
jiwaskow-107168 October 2015
This is a documentary that I only wish came out years ago. It can truly be a life saver for the many, many people unknowingly suffering from chronic illnesses that could be related to toxic mold poisoning. Excellent use of experts to explain the science behind it (genetic susceptibility and much more), and personal stories to explain just how tragic these situations can be.

There needs to be more understanding about this issue, and this film provides that. Everyone should see this to help prevent, deal with, or understand the rapidly growing problem of toxic mold. At the least, all doctors should have to watch this!

typical supplement marketing piece
dmcawanted5 August 2021
It's gotten to be a bad trope, but here we are with advertising at near feature-length.

So we have this 'documentary', filmed by the Bulletproof company, and starring the bulletproof CEO, explaining the scientific aspects of mold.

Oh wait, sorry. What we have is a guy with a Bachelors in computer science showing why he went with an MBA - to make money. This is not a documentary, it's a science-fiction/fantasy piece, that tries to legitimize a massive scam.

What is claimed to be science usually isn't, and when it is, it's presented out of context to be deliberately misleading. Throughout there's hints and tips (some using some sophisticated NLP) to buy his products. This is nothing but a 61 minute advert for his products.

It's quite frankly embarrassing (almost as much as when Dave Asprey got laughed out of biohacking talks for getting basic facts wrong.

There's a saying that those that can, do; those that know, teach.

Well, if you can't do and don't know, the only thing you can do is start a supplements business and make things up to sell 'woo' to, as Asprey demonstrates here.

You really want to be healthier? And if you want a guaranteed way to add an extra hour onto your life? Then avoid exhibition in self-indulgent film that's so bad, he had to have his own coffee company make it because no-one else would.

And remember, this documentary is endorsed by 0 out of ALL of the scientists who do actual peer-reviewed work in this field.
