Re: I was just wondering about fat biopsy the other day

[Guest guest]

Yes, but it was nearly 30 years ago. Extremely high levels of DDT.

Mold wasn't an issue then. Keep in mind that all methods have

strengths and weaknesses, which means no single test is totally

comprehensive. The main limitation on fat biopsies is inherent in its

name " FAT biopsy. " Only the fat soluable substances that accumulate

will be found with any consistency. The water soluable ones flush out

rather quickly with sweat and urine. Others will know better than me

what the potential accuracy and reliability is for mold mycotoxins.

okay - I'm gonna put my ass out on a limb and say that I'd be REALLY careful

about whom I chose to do this sort of test. The link you supplied makes some

wildly grandiose claims of what is being tested from my VERY limited knowledge,

and I'd want to get confirmation from others on this site that the medical

standards are where they need to be.

One of my first measures in ANY situation where determining health is on the

line, I want to feel assured that I'm going to get the best information out

there. One way to do this is to 'follow the money.' As we know, there are

so-called 'professionals' out there who make a living working for the defense in

court cases and have a vested interest in keeping that line of work coming and

keeping info about mold from getting accepted. So, too, are there

'professionals' who have attracted large sums for plaintiff attorneys. As

patients, I think it's important that we go for the most accuracy and to choose

to work with a medical team whose first priority is our health and the truth and

who don't have their salaries as a primary source of motivation.

And we can take this off-line if you want to hear more from me on this topic...

Yea, that website seemed pretty strange to me yesterday when I read

it as well but again, what do I know, basically nothing. All I could

gather was one collects body fluid and sends it to them. The website

had no instruction on how this is done. Maybe I am having a blond

moment, as usual but I too saw the website as strange...I agree, be

careful.

Thanks Carl, this is the hard part. understanding what stays in your

system and for how long. with MCS it's hard to know if it's something

still in your tissues or new insults that keep the infections from not

healing.
