Re: Different Treatments with different doctors (GI issues/cholestyramine/mycotoxicosis)

[Guest guest]

Thinking about it, I think your doctor probably didn't understand that

cholestyramine was being used to pull toxins out of enterohepatic

recirculation. Mycotoxins enter a loop between the liver and small

intestine and that becomes a point where they can get sent back into

the bloodstream again and again.. if cholestyramine doesnt intercept

them.

This very old paper (below) is probably what he thought it was being

used for. Of course, we know now that often people who have

mycotoxicosis respond to cholestyramine.. and that heavy mold exposure

can cause these symptoms! (Here, - below - they wrote the paper

because they didn't know why it worked but it worked..)

The paper is a good example of a typical scenario where mold gave

somebody chronic diarrhea, malabsorption and retarded growth, as well

as caused the immune suppression that led to candida. But the candida

mycoses - was I would guess a secondary infection.. the cause was

probably a sick building..

The candida could last long after the boy left the building, as could

the immune system problems..

THAT ugliness is what the disinformation campaign is trying to cover up!

Antifungals are also useless for a mycotoxicosis situation...

Cholestyramine helps a lot, though! Hope this helps clear up some confusion!

Cholestyramine treatment of chronic diarrhea associated with

immune deficiency syndrome.

Bujanover Y, Sullivan P, Liebman WM, Goodman J, Thaler MM.

A 5-year-old boy with known severe combined immunodeficiency

disease presented with chronic diarrhea, malabsorption and retarded

growth. Candida albicans was found in distal duodenal fluid, and

invading the intestinal mucosa. Chronic diarrhea persisted after

antimycotic therapy, but responded to treatment with cholestyramine.

Repeated courses of cholestyramine resin over a 6-month period were

required for complete resolution of the gastrointestinal

symptomatology.
