Re: a colinization we might not have thought of

That has the ring of truth to it. Proton pump inhibitors inhibit

stomach acid which is used to digest food. The problem is, many people

who have been exposed to lots of mold have had such severe throat

problems that the valve that holds food in their stomach is gone. So

they must take PPIs or they are in constant pain when the stomach

contents come up. That isn't just at night, it happens all the time.

Whenever you eat.

Colonization inside the body is an infection. That mold is not the

same mold that grows the same way as in damp houses. Inside

the body it depends on the environment of the location, just as

with buildings. I'm sure many have seen the photos of mold

growth on sheet rock and are assuming that is what is going on

inside their body, whether stomach, intestines or lungs. These

are very different situations.

For example, although colonies of Aspergillis fumagatis on wood

or drywall looks like the pictures you see of it (and of other

molds), it grows very differently in the lungs, as a fungal ball.

Creation of mycotoxins, if any, is even more different and may not

be what causes the harm.

Terminology and descriptions of how mold grows and when it

creates spores, mycotoxins and other components along with its

effect on the body is getting loose and confused again. Lack of

clarity and accuracy can lead to false impressions of either hope

or despair. We need to keep our known facts straight and the

not-yet-facts as accurate as possible.

Carl - I understand what you are saying and have a question. Since colozination

is an

infection, would it always show up in raised white blood cell counts? Most

" normal "

infections show up like that.

I don't know the answer to that. You'd need to ask an

immunologist. What I do know is the body reacts differently to

different types of infections, e.g. bacterial, viral and fungal. BTW,

most of the fungal infections are yeast rather than mold (both are

fungi). But exposure to the components of mold spores and mold

growth can cause other problems, some of which can be

detected in the blood. But detection of antibodies and other

reactants in the blood is not the same as mold being in the blood

or the same as an infection. I don't have the knowledge or

expertise to go much further with this, other than to say this is

part of the accuracy in language we need.
