Antifungals vs. Cholestyramine - Need for a good set of descriptions on which is for what..

Its good that you are feeling better. There really isn't a lot of

reliable information for people out there.

There really is a need for a reference for people where doctors and

patients like you and me can share their experiences and what has

worked for us and them..

Have you ever heard the term comorbidity? Basically, it means that

once you are sickened by one thing, like mold exposure in a water

damaged building.. often, that weakened state makes us much more prone

to what are called " opportunistic infections " that come in and make us

even sicker.

See Wikipedia..

Mold comes into the picture in many ways..

You know, its extremely complicated and no single human being is smart

enough to understand it all, but we do know more and more all the

time..

Ever since they discovered that penicillin kills bacteria an ever

increasing number of the specific examples of the millions of mold

toxins have been known to act against various kinds of life..in many,

many ways.. Millions of years of evolution taught fungi how to do

this..

Its becoming increasingly obvious to me that mold causes

immunosuppression.. for example.. in addition to mycotic infections

(the ones that would respond to antifungals - which would kill fungal

hyphae growing in someone's body - there are literally thousands of

different kinds of fungal infection that can happen.. things like

candidaisis, aspergillosis, etc.) and toxicity (which might respond to

cholestyramine and other therapies to push down the inflammation..)
