Jenny McCarthy has been open about her ongoing journey following a severe battle with mold toxicity and mycotoxin poisoning. In recent statements, she shared that she is preparing for a new chapter in her life.
“I’m about to embark on a new adventure,” she said. “As you know, I’ve spoken about my mold toxicity, but beyond that, my aluminum levels are off the charts. My arsenic levels are also extremely high, and my mold detox isn’t working.”
McCarthy revealed in March that her health struggles began with an infected root canal, which created three toxic pockets hidden beneath her wisdom teeth. She shared this information with US Weekly, highlighting how this initial issue led to more severe complications.
A Vicious Cycle
From there, McCarthy explained that she found herself caught in a cycle of infections affecting her eyes, jaw, mouth, and even her breast implants. Eventually, her doctor tested her for mold.
“The reason why you’re having constant infections, your body won’t heal, and you’re oozing things is because you have mold. You have mycotoxin poisoning,” her doctor told her.
“Mold releases toxins in dust particles, and most people with strong immune systems can handle it,” McCarthy added. “But people with weaker immune systems, those with leaky gut or candida—things I’m already fighting—can’t.”
For months, McCarthy has tried various treatments and mold protocols to combat the toxins that have taken hold in her body. So far, she says, nothing has worked.
However, the Masked Singer judge announced on June 15 that she would be starting therapeutic plasma exchange treatment with MD Lifespan.
“This is a major, amazing modality that basically removes the plasma out of my system and replaces it with a special solution,” she said in a candid Instagram post. “And it’s an ongoing treatment.”
McCarthy promised to take her two million followers along with her during this new treatment plan and encouraged them to watch her YouTube channel.
“I’m going to bring you guys along with me,” she said. “Why? Because maybe you can see if it’s right for you. This isn’t for everyone; it’s for people who are hard to crack.”
“Nuts that are hard to crack and heal like myself, who have tried so many things, who’ve done almost everything to fix themselves and nothing is working,” she concluded.
What Is Therapeutic Plasma Exchange?
According to UT Southwestern Medical Center, McCarthy’s new treatment involves removing and replacing blood plasma to treat diseases that are difficult to infiltrate.
Medical professionals access the bloodstream through a needle or a central line catheter. The process typically requires multiple procedures as infected plasma is swapped out for a healthier alternative.
However, just one procedure is capable of removing between 65 and 70 percent of disease-causing proteins.
“I’m praying and hopeful this will help me and maybe many of you,” McCarthy wrote. “Here we go!”
