I write about mycotoxins because I feel many health practitioners do NOT take the exposure to mycotoxins seriously, I was trained like other conventional doctors, and I know it was not discussed in medical school or in residency. I did a lot of reading, attend a lot of conferences and heard from environmental specialists. Mycotoxins are some of the most prevalent toxins in the world. They are metabolites profuced by fungi like mold which manifest in many places. Some of these places are buildings, schools, motor vehicles and even food stuff. A majority of exposure is either food borne or airborne.
There are many diseases linked to mycotoxins. Some of these include fever, pneumonia like symptoms ( especially a chronic nagging cough) , asthma, sinusitis, cancer, memory loss, chronic fatigue and even heart disease.
Your health care practitioner must be aware of the role of mycotoxins in the environment. He must test for these mycotoxins. I utilize special testing from Great Plains Laboratory ( www.greatplainslaboratory.com) I use this lab because IT IS THE BEST. It tests for 11 different mycotoxins from 40 mold species. Because it uses advanced mass spectrometry it can detect lower levels of mycotoxins that might be missed,
I also combine this mycotoxin profile with testing for other environmental toxins . I use the Glyphosate testing from the same laboratory
Unfortunately this testing is no longer allowed in New York State. I am humble and grateful that I also have a practice in Fairfield CT with 5 naturopathic doctors . It is called Connecticut Integrative Medical Center It is located at 1817 Black Rock Turnpike Suite 205 Fairfield CT
Come in for a visit. You can treat your mold toxicity with an integrative approach.
Until tomorrow…
