As Dr Shoemaker explains, just as a physicist " sees " a neutrino by

the trail it leaves, biotoxin mediated illnesses are identified by

testing the immunological response after exposure.

There isn't a test that you can ask your doctor to order that

simply identifies the problem in a way that overrules his disbelief.

Even if a normal doctor saw signs of an abnormal response it

wouldn't mean anything specific to him unless he understands that

the upregulation corresponds to an enviromental toxin exposure.

The only way a doctor gets his " foot in the door " to understanding

how to test for illness is to first accept that the patient is

accurately describing a physiological response, and then measure

markers of inflammatory response as they change in correlation to

these irritants.

Most of them simply don't bother to even try to open that door and

dismiss signs of illness as idiopathic.

For years, when I asked doctors to simply step out of their offices

and test for a response which correlates to areas of mold, they

would say " I don't have to because I know it is impossible and if

there WERE any response, it would be generated by your hysterical

response to an unreal belief that mold is toxic " .

I told the story in an old post about a doctor who actually took me

up my challenge to step out of his box and witness mold for himself.

He almost collapsed and wound up running for his life - made an

instant believer out of him. Unfortunately, all that did was make

him another " Hysterical Mold Sufferer " since he had fewer answers

than I did.

The first chore is to locate a doctor who understands 'cause-effect'

logic and is willing to be open minded enough to look for a

correlation.

Then that doctor needs to make the association between known

locations that have been tested for specific molds and YOUR markers

of inflammatory upregulation listed in the back of Mold Warriors.

It is the manner of interpetation of these tests that allows

identification of biotoxin mediated illness and not just the test

itself.
