Help Richard Heal from Mold Toxicity

Donation protected

Hello, my name is Richard Barrington and for years I have been disabled due to mycotoxins (toxic gases released by mold) in my body from living in a very moldy house my whole life until almost 3 years ago. Before I became disabled, I was a straight-A student, and the best 3-point shooter and free throw shooter at East River High School in Orlando, FL. My symptoms of Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Malaise, and especially Continual weight loss forced me to leave school. The more I exerted myself physically or mentally, the more weight I lost, and the weight loss did not subside until I left school and rested for most of the day, every day. Words cannot describe how devastated I was being forced to leave school. I would have graduated with the school records for most 3-pointers made and highest free throw percentage. I later figured out my body was diverting energy away from digesting and absorbing the nutrients in my food, so my immune system would have more energy to fight the chronic infections I have, keeping me alive. I got sick with those infections because the mycotoxins from the moldy house weakened my immune system. One of those infections is Lyme disease, which I spoke of in an interview on ABC Action News in Tampa, FL. A link to the video is located below this story. I mentioned how the mold weakened my immune system, leading to me getting sick with Lyme, but that part of the interview did not air. I was only bitten by a tick once and I feel certain I would never have gotten sick with Lyme if not for the mold. To start with, I had no idea what was wrong with me. I saw around 20 doctors about half conventional and the others alternative. They were all clueless. On the recommendation of a friend, my parents took me to see Dr. Minkoff in Clearwater, FL. Although his treatments didn't help much, he was the first doctor to tell me mold toxicity was my main problem. That's when I learned my parent's moldy house made me sick. Listening to Dr. Jaban Moore online taught me that toxins build up in your body over time. Eventually, you reach a tipping point where you are chronically ill, get cancer, or develop some other serious health problem. You get well by getting the toxins out of your body and treating the infections that have built up over the years due to having a weakened immune system. By far the best way to do that is with IV infusions. After moving out of that moldy house, I started treatment with Dr. Sponaugle. I learned a lot from him and improved a little, but eventually, I left because he wasn't at his clinic often enough and the people working under him were not competent. Most doctors make treatment decisions based on guidelines set by government agencies including the CDC and FDA. If there are no government guidelines for treating your illness, most doctors have no idea what to do and if you do receive treatment from a knowledgeable doctor, almost no insurance will cover any of it. Afterward, I went to Dr. Grossgold for treatment and again showed a slight improvement, but I needed to find better treatments. I learned about Insulin Potentiation Therapy where insulin is used to lower your blood sugar below 60, making your cells much more permeable than usual and making the IVs 4-10 times as effective. After Insulin Potentiation came to Grossgold Clinic, I'm feeling somewhat better, my mycotoxins have plummeted on my test results, and I'm playing Basketball for 45 minutes to 1 hour every other day at the park. But I'm still not able to go to school or work full time, because I still can't sustain that much energy output without my symptoms continually worsening. My latest treatment plan of Voriconazole 300mg, Phosphatidylcholine 1.25g, Alpha Lipoic Acid 600mg, all with Insulin Potentiation, and Sodium Bicarbonate 1.68g, Glutathione 5g, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and Colonics costs almost $15,000 a week but is about 100 times more effective than the treatment plan I received from Dr. Sponaugle which cost about $6,000 a week, because of Insulin Potentiation, higher dosages, HBOT, and better IVs. I drew up my treatment plan at Grossgold Clinic and requested the vast majority of the follow-up tests. I do about 90% of Dr. Grossgold's job for him. I even noticed some of the IV fluids I requested were later being used on other patients. I was surprised to realize that after 2.5 years of going through these treatments and learning about them, I am actually better than the doctor at drawing up my treatment plans. I take on the vast majority of the responsibility and my parents still have to pay thousands of dollars a week. My parents cannot sustain this level of spending. That's why I am asking you for donations. I will get well if my parents don't run out of money/donations first. If I don't get well my life is over. When I get well, I plan to attend medical school as Dr. Sponaugle said I should. He said I would change the world. And that's exactly what I plan to do by learning not just about conventional medicine and pharmaceuticals, but also natural treatments that work. I also plan to play College Basketball, once I get my health back, I will have the energy to devote to becoming great at both. Before my illness, people would refer to me as the energizer bunny, and with your help and these treatments that will once again be true. Dr. Sponaugle said the mycotoxins had suppressed my HGH, stunting my growth. Shortly after starting treatment with him, my feet started growing. In less than 5 months, I went from wearing size 12.5 Basketball shoes to size 15. I'm also gradually growing taller, I was about 5' 11" before treatment, and now I'm 6' 0.5". Once my height catches up to my feet, I should be about 6' 5". That's taller than the average NBA shooting guard, the position I would have played in High School! I will do everything I can to raise awareness about mold and other toxins, how to prevent or reduce exposures, talk about effective detox treatments, conduct research studies, and do whatever else is necessary so insurance will cover these treatments, and other people won't have to fundraise and can just focus on receiving treatments and getting well. Thank you to all my donors for helping make all of this possible.

(above) After these treatments, and with fewer toxins in my body, my immune system is better able to fight these infections. As you can see from my test results, I am much better, but there is still work to be done. And my health reflects that.

Receipt for 1 day of my Insulin Potentiation Treatment Plan (above). Alkaline IV contains 1.68g of Sodium Bicarbonate. I did Insulin Potentiation 4 times a week, in addition to other treatments. The total for the week was almost $15,000. Insurance covered nothing.
