Mold, Mycotoxins, Antibodies and Individual Responses
Since the early 2000s, research into the role of antibody testing to mold and mycotoxins has expanded in both Finland and the United States. Dr. Andrew Campbell was a co-author in many of these studies and later was involved in the development of a serum antibody test to mycotoxins, which is now available commercially. Several labs also test for antibodies to mold antigens
in the serum.
Join guest speaker Dr. Andrew Campbell alongside facilitators Dr. Sandeep Gupta and Dr. Amy Derksen for a discussion on the role of this testing and how patients with mycotoxin-related illness can approach their recovery.

What You Will Learn
Understanding the impact of mold and mycotoxins requires exploring the complexities of individual immune responses. Decades of research have paved the way for advanced testing options that provide crucial insights into environmental exposures.
In this webinar, you will gain an evidence-based understanding of serum antibody testing and how it applies to clinical practice. You’ll leave empowered with the knowledge of how to utilize these tests to guide recovery from mycotoxin-related illness.
The Evolution of Research – Explore the history and research since the early 2000s regarding the role of antibody testing to
mold and mycotoxins.
Serum Antibody Testing – Learn about the development and
clinical availability of serum antibody tests for both
mycotoxins and mold antigens.
Individual Immune Responses – Understand the clinical role of antibody testing and how individual immune systems respond to environmental exposures.
Approaches to Recovery – Discover practical, evidence-based ways patients with mycotoxin-related illness can approach and navigate their journey to recovery.
What You'll Discover
Antibody Testing Science – Learn about the development and clinical application of serum antibody tests for mold and mycotoxins.
Individual Immune Dynamics – Understand how unique immune responses influence susceptibility and symptom presentation.
Evidence-Based Recovery – Discover practical, step-by-step pathways to help patients navigate recovery from mycotoxin illness.
Informed Health Decisions – Learn how better access to scientific evidence supports better-informed conversations and healthcare choices.
Meet Our Key Speakers
Speakers
Dr. Andrew Campbell
Dr. Andrew W. Campbell is researcher, author, and medical educator dedicated to advancing the understanding of complex health conditions through evidence-based medicine and published scientific research.
With decades of experience in medicine, Dr. Campbell has devoted much of his career to reviewing, interpreting, and communicating medical and scientific evidence, with particular interest in environmental exposures, mycotoxins, immune health, and their potential impact on human health.
Today, Dr. Campbell's primary focus is medical education. Rather than providing individualized medical advice, he serves as an educational resource for physicians, healthcare practitioners, researchers, and members of the public seeking to better understand the scientific literature.
Through lectures, educational programs, interviews, publications, and professional discussions, Dr. Campbell works to make complex medical research more accessible and clinically meaningful. His approach emphasizes peer-reviewed studies, published medical evidence, and scientific literature, helping healthcare professionals explore the evidence and consider how emerging research may relate to their areas of practice.
For physicians and practitioners in particular, Dr. Campbell aims to provide a resource for continued learning—connecting scientific publications with important questions encountered in clinical medicine while encouraging healthcare professionals to independently evaluate the evidence and apply their own clinical judgment.
His educational philosophy is centered on a simple principle: better access to scientific evidence supports better-informed conversations and better-informed healthcare decisions.
Dr. Campbell's educational content is intended to inform and educate. It is not intended to replace individualized medical evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, or the professional judgment of a patient's treating healthcare provider.
Speakers
Dr. Sandeep Gupta
Dr Sandeep Gupta is a board-certified general practice physician practicing on Australia’s Sunshine Coast. He runs a busy integrative medicine practice, Lotus Holistic Medicine, helping his patients to achieve optimal health and finding answers to complex medical problems.
Dr Gupta graduated from medical school at the University of Queensland in 1999. Since then he has served in a range of public and private hospitals in the South-East Queensland region, as a cardiology, medical, and anesthetic registrar. He also has five years of experience working in Intensive Care, particularly in the area of post-cardiac surgery care.
Dr Gupta then went on to invest many years of training in integrative medicine and was awarded a Fellowship from the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM) in 2008 and a Fellowship from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) in 2010. He also has a Master of Nutrition with Dr Gabriel Cousens. Other major influences include William Wolcott, CN, Robert Marshall, PhD, and Dietrich Klinghardt, MD PhD who he has trained in ART.

Dr. Amy Derksen
Dr Amy Derksen, ND (“Dr Amy”) is a Naturopathic Physician, graduating from Bastyr University in 2003. She was fortunate enough to be Dr Dietrich Klinghardt’s first naturopathic resident until the end of 2005. During that training she learned extensively how to use his system of autonomic response testing (ART) to help with tailoring a protocol to each individual and taught ART to other physicians through the Klinghardt Institute for more than 10 years.
She has spent the last 15+ years working with autism and PANS/PANDAS, as well as Lyme patients who were either coming off antibiotics or not tolerating other protocols. She’s also spent time studying mold-related illness and its effective detoxification from the body.
Dr Amy did her undergraduate studies in biochemistry, which she applies to understanding the latest research on detox and genetic susceptibilities, especially as it applies to methylation and mitochondrial needs.
She continues to push herself physically and academically, but sometimes struggles with a mold-induced thyroid autoimmunity.
She also was very ill with COVID in early 2021 with significant cognitive symptoms, clotting issues, and a post-viral immune flare that no one was expecting. This was both a humbling and a great learning experience. She gained insight about treatments that worked amazingly well to stop the cycle that was trying to become something more.
Coaching work to help separate from identifying with the illness, LDA (low dose antigen therapy), peptides, and methylation and mitochondrial support have been incredibly helpful to keep her moving forward.
Personally, Dr Amy loves the outdoors and being out in nature doing anything possible to stay active, including mountain biking, hiking, trail running, skiing, and SUP.
