Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 My doctors says mold does not actually cause allergies - mold causes the body to react erradicatically to foreign substances similar to an allergic reaction. Sometimes these substances are things you been around your entire life without a reaction. --- In , " heliotropium@...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I believe this. I had no allergies my whole life and noone in my rather large family had them either, then I tested positive to almost everything they tested on me. I was astonished. I went to see if I was allergic to cat only as I was suspecting and I reacted to almost everything. Doctor said he couldn't believe I didn't know I had all these allergies. I said I didn't sneeze very often and figured that was an allergy. He said no that fatigue and other problems can be caused by allergy but why so many? > > My doctors says mold does not actually cause allergies - mold causes the body to react erradicatically to foreign substances similar to an allergic reaction.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 --- Doug: Is there a specific test you can have done to see if the molds have colonized in the body??

I just wrote nearly a whole article on the reason why doctors might say this just the other day, and low and behold, here it is again as if my article never had been read by anyone.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Doug, What if you had skin lesions that wouldn't heal, which is my case right now. Couldn't that be done? I've had this before, a constant rash that won't go away. > > > Diane: Other than PCR (genetic) testing of suspected tissue in a biopsy I do not believe there is a test at present to accurately determine fungal colonization in the human body while one is still among the living. However, PCR testing of urine or blood serum come the closest by determining a few species are alive and doing well in the human body and the same for a few mycotoxins. Real Time Laboratory in Dallas. The usual discovery is during an autopsy. This is why medical mycologists seeking answers are often told to " treat before diagnosis if molds are suspected in disease causation. " Of course they wouldn't share that type of information with the public now, would they? > > > > Hope that helps. > > > > Have a Blessed coming week. > > > > Doug Haney > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
