Candace Owens describes a severe mold illness that caused physical symptoms including eczema, hair loss, and eye problems, but emphasizes that the cognitive impairment was the most devastating aspect. She recounts praying desperately for mental clarity rather than physical healing, describing this humbling experience as occurring just before her entry into public life.

Summary

In this personal testimony, Candace Owens discusses a serious health crisis caused by mold illness that fundamentally affected her physical and mental health. She details the comprehensive physical manifestations of the illness, including overnight head-to-toe eczema, athlete's foot, severe eye inflammation with discharge, and significant hair loss. However, Owens emphasizes that while these symptoms were troubling, the cognitive effects were far more debilitating. She describes experiencing intense brain fog so severe that it prevented her from thinking clearly and caused physical exhaustion that confined her to bed throughout the day. This mental incapacity led her to a moment of spiritual desperation where she prayed and negotiated with God, explicitly stating she would accept permanent physical disfigurement if it meant regaining her ability to think. Owens characterizes this period as a humbling experience that occurred just before she entered the public sphere, suggesting it shaped her perspective before becoming a public figure.

Imagine like the most intense brain fog you could ever have and it just physically exhausted me, so I was just in bed all day every day.
