Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Dr. Thrasher - Does this mean that the mycotoxins mutate human DNA and incorporate themselves in the human host, for example in the bone marrow of a human, changing the inherited DNA? Thanks. toxicologist1 <toxicologist1@...> a écrit : I do not know if your readers realize the following: Currently we are able to test for mycotoxins and mold DNA in tissue and body fluids. In addition, these same tests can be applied to bulk sampling and air sampling of homes and buildings. Two examples of two different families that I am working with are: Air conditioning systems: contaminated with identified species of Aspergillus and Penicillium. Mycotoxins present in the bulk samples from the A.C. system are trichothecenes, aflatoxins and ochratoxin. Urine screens on one family revealed trichothecens. In addition, the man of the house had liver cysts. Biopsies of the liver revealed aflatoxins 15 times greater than control values. The entire family is scheduled for a urine screen for mycotoxins and sputum for mold DNA and mycotoxins. The second family is currently having urine screens done for mycotoxins. We have also done biopsy and autopsy materials revealing mold DNA as well as mycotoxins, particularly aflatoxins. We have done autopsy on a 3 month old girl who died of Reyes Syndrome and had hemoytic anemia at birth and which re-occured just before her death. Autopsy specimens revealed aflatoxins and Aspergillus DNA. Are you interested? Contact Jack D.
