Dr. Croft's paper--3 Stages of Mycotoxicosis (follow-up comments)

[Guest guest]

Some of the mold victims posted questions after they read Dr. Croft's

report. Here is Dr. Croft's response:

Yes I would like to explain about mycotoxins. The Trichothecene

Mycotoxins are the most poisonous mycotoxins that people are exposed

to and we must be concerned with the most poisonous, not the least

poisonous. The mycotoxins attack the cellular factory so a cell can

not repair, maintain or reproduce. So the health effects are

cumulative and when a person is exposed to 500 ppb/kilogram has a 50%

chance of dying according to the Department of Defense. Children are

100-1000 more sensitive because the TM attack the cellular factory so

children are much sensitive than adults. I have observed several

children exposed severly exposed never make to the age of 21 years.

In the chronic exposure the mycotoxin is stored in the tissue and is

stored in pockets within the tissue. I have observed these

pockets in the myocardium of several autopsies. Also on chronic

exposure, the body protects itself by producing fibrinous strands

to keep the mycotoxins from binding to cells and attempts to excrete

the mycotoxin by urine or bile. I refer to this mycotoxin as hit and

run: It hits the body and is released from the body in a matter of

minutes to hours. In order for a person to survive this piosoning

they have to stop exposure from the from the ambient environment and

from the internal environment like from yeast.

Then if you are exposed to Aspergillus organisms, the fungus loves to

grow in your vessels and causes a disease called Aspergillosis. The

survival according to the CDC is 1-2%. This is very common in

transplant and cancer patients receiving chemical therapy that

attacks the immune system. As a medical pathologist I have developed

the tissue fingerprint that Trichothecene mycotoxins generate within

body and have completed several autopsies in adults and children. I

have studied over 6,000 people pathological and have found it makes a

difference on exposure of the mycotoxin. The consumption of TM like

in the 1940's in Southern Russia caused the arteries of humans to

weaken and rupture and people bleed on their skin. Bleeding on the

skin was the terminal sign before death. The mycotoxin is consumed

and goes to the liver and then the liver releases T2 toxin into the

circulation and prevents the generation of new cells in the artery,

so they weaken and rupture.

The inhalation of TM results in the exposure through the lungs and

skin. The mycotoxin goes to the liver and is release in the

intestine and the mucosal cells are exposed in a terminal case the

intestinal mucosal cells slough from the body and the person starves

to death. These people have serous atrophy of fat on the

pericardium. The people that died like this do not feel right, but

are not bed ridden and die suddenly - this is why they call it the

silent killer. The mycotoxin prevents the replacement of cells and

this leads to organ failure. The mycotoxins also deplete calcium

from the body so people will end up with degeneration of the vertebra

column or osteoporosis, ruptured discs or fractures.

I hope I have explained why Trichothecene Mycotoxins are so harmful

to the body. There is a lot of false information out in the

community. I am hoping to write some more manuscripts to explain the

pathology of this disease. Thank you for the opportunity to respond.
