question direct and indirect effects of mycotoxins

[Guest guest]

I am suffering from chronic and acute exposure to mycotoxins. I have

a basic question about the biology of this illness. As I have noted

in prior posts, I have been in stage two mycotoxicosis for about four

weeks with trembling hands, memory loss, fog, hearing loss, loss of

balance.

I have read most of the Shoemaker,Schaller Mold Warriors book. More

power to these healers!

However, most of this book deals with the long run effects as the body

fails to respond well to toxins it cannot shed. Cytokines rise MSH

falls , etc. However, other sources, including a paper I just read on

the three stages of mycotoxicosis entitled " Pathology of Trichothecene

Mycotoxins in Man " , seem to emphasize the direct destructive impact of

trichotene etc in the body. Croft seems to say that the toxins get in

and right off start to destroy all the organs in the body. This seems

right to me. I seem to experience acute effects that are continuing

without much let up For example, my right hand was almost paralyzed

for about six hours after wiping up one patch of mold which I thought

was dirt. This would seem to be a direct effect of the mycotoxins

attacking the nervous system?

I would also like to know whether anyone can tell me to what extent my

current symptoms are likely to be permanent?
