Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Does anybody have any data on the incidences of comorbidity among fungal/environmental illnesses? Clearly, there is some overlap, but I think its also safe to say that if you have one, the chances that you might end up with others in addition to that is also increased because of the exposure. So, I suppose a better way to phrase it might be, " does having any one fungal or environmental illness bequeath any kind of immunity to others? " I don't think it would. In fact, I think it might make one more susceptible to others because of your weakened state. Diseases like to kick you when you are down, you know, just like lawyers and politicians. It would seem that for people who have spent significant amounts of time living or working in these toxic environments, that the likelihood of diseases existing comorbidly with one another might get higher and higher as organ systems break down and the body's defenses against illness are chipped away by toxins. Its also possible that even years after the exposure that did the damage has ended that some of the infectious or toxic agents may still exist in the body, just as damaged DNA persists within the body to cause cancer years later. For example, some toxins might get stored in your fat cells or inside your body sort of like fungi that replicate live there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
