Yeasts sow *confusion* between mycoses and mycotoxicosis. The two need different therapies..

[Guest guest]

Elias, its quite possible you had one of the fungal

opportunistic infections that often hit people..

You don't have to be in a sick building to get them!

Yeast infections

effect people all the time.. Some yeasts do produce mycotoxins, but

its s different kind of illness than mold hypersensitivity. However,

people often get BOTH.. and the yeast or other secondary " mycosis "

(when there is only one) can persist long after you may have left a

moldy environment..

Mycosis = one infection..

Mycoses = when you are referring to them as a class of infections.. as

in " many kinds of mycoses "

Mycoses: treated with antifungals..

An antifungal inhibits mold GROWTH and kills living fungal hyphae by

interrupting some essential process that exists in fungi, but not in

animals..

Mycotoxins stored in fat have NOTHING to do with antifungal drugs..

and would not be effected by them..

Antifungals are to kill FUNGI living in your body.. for example,

yeasts would be killed by antifungals. yeasts like candida albicans..

Lamisil I think is often used to kill foot fungus.. fungal skin

infections, right?

.....which are different from... the other kind of mold illness.. You

know, the one the insurance companies are spending millions of dollars

trying to prevent us knowing about and trying to say it doesn't

exist...

Those are..

Mycotoxicosis: treated with cholestyramine ... (which binds the

toxins out of the bile where they accumulate after being removed from

the bloodstream by the liver..)

....and perhaps, other therapies might help such as antioxidants,

substances that support mitochondria..etc.. to reduce mitochondrial

dysfunction and therefore, possibly reduce DNA damage..

Removing mycotoxins from the bile as they are filtered out of the

bloodstream and sent to the bile by the liver is what cholestyramine

is used for.. That is a completely different " animal "

Its not known how long mycotoxins may end up being stored in fat.. Its

possible that they might persist for a long time..if the person had

been in a moldy environment for a long time.. they would gradually

end up in the bile..

Antifungals would not detoxify mycotoxins. Some of them are so strong

and so persistant that they are very diificult to destroy.. see the

thread on toxin decontamination..
