Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Not to worry. It was an unfair question.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 HI a, You might want to contact Dr. Hooper at RealTime Lab. They have a urine mycotoxins test, don't know if your daughter's sample could be sent from the middle east or not and get to US in time to do the test in a valid way, but he would know, and might know answers to some of your other questions about mycotoxins. I ran the realtime lab test on my sick son and he tested VERY HIGH in ochratoxins, then we went to see Dr. Gray in AZ, and he said that if he tested very high in one mycotoxin he likely had high levels of other mycotoxins that aren't tested for (there are many kinds of mycotoxins, the RealTime Lab tests for 3: ochratoxins, aflatoxins, and tricothecenes). Here's the link: <http://www.realtimelab.com/ mycotoxin_testing.html> btw, my son has respiratory, sinus, neuro, fatigue, allergies, pelvic floor neuromuscular dysfunction (not bedwetting but affects urination and more), gi problems, sleep problems, maybe affected his growth (he had huge growth spurt at age 12 and never grew since, now is 20 yo, he's not short though at 5'10 " ), chronic pain, and more... Good luck, and I think you intuitively know the answer to your question about " do I relax or keep searching " , if you sense that all is not right with your daughter's health, then you know to keep looking for the real answers. It can be exhausting, especially when the so-called experts have already told you the " answers " , so do what you can when you can, and then take a break, and when you are emotionally strong enuf, start the search again. When my son first got sick, we went around to so many different arrogant doctors who each tried to pigeon-hole him into their specialty and give a quick diagnosis, for example the gastroenterologist who is a celiac specialist told us gluten was causing all his problems, even though he had already been off gluten for 9 months with no improvement, he wanted to put him on NSAID's as another patient in his drug trial, so we never went back to that doc. And then there was the psychiatrist who said he didn't fit into any classical psych diagnosis but he was sure that his GI problems were all being caused by psychological problems, and of course MOM was a big part of the psych problems, and so the list goes on, none of them made any sense to me and so forget that they are " EXPERTS " w/the BIG MD, none of it made sense, and so I continued my search, and maybe, maybe, we have now found an important or THE important part of the puzzle, time will tell now that we are doing a whole mold detox protocol... One thing I have learned is that there are many layers to this onion, and I now know many things that are wrong with my son, just not sure we know why, still in search of the root cause...and unfortunately the only way to find it is to do treatment trials for various things. For example, my son tested positive for bartonella, a tick-borne illness, that doctor was sure bartonella was causing all his symptoms, he was treated for it (successfully from a lab test point of view, 6 months later he tested negative for bartonella) but from a real life point of view the treatment created absolutely no improvement in his health, so while he had bartonella, it was not the thing that was bothering him, NOT THE ROOT CAUSE. And, if I had it to do all over again, and money was no object, I would push the doctors to test for every possible thing under the sun all at one time, and not sequentially, because time keeps ticking by. Hope this is helpful to you a. Best of luck with your daughter's healing.
