In this episode, Dr. Ruscio and Dr. Scott Spiridigliozzi break down why mold and fungal treatments often fail—and what may improve the odds of success. They discuss how to get clearer on the diagnosis, why herbal therapies may not be enough for some patients, the importance of reaching therapeutic antifungal levels, why underdosing can backfire, and how targeting the right tissues may help prevent relapse.
