Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 No, Mycotoxins are mold toxins and Mycoplasma are cell wall less bacteria that are so small as to be virus-sized. I've been suffering from the delusion that Sick Building Syndrome is a manifestation of the mycoplasma epidemic that causes CFIDS and Gulf War Illness. www.immed.org (Garth Nicolsons website) A combination of mold avoidance and antibiotics directed at mycoplasma infection have resolved my CFIDS symptoms and mold reactivity to such an extent that I've resumed a normal appearing life and can even stand a fair bit of mold exposure - though I still have to be careful. See Congressman Bob Filners statements concerning the mycoplasma epidemic. Based on my own experience I had been warning people for years that a " mold epidemic " is certain to happen. It's been pretty phenomenal watching this whole thing progress. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 No, they are not the same. myco = fungal mycology = study of fungi Myco-toxins are harmful by-products of fungi. Mycoplasmas are minute micro-organisms regarded by some as primitive bacteria. They lack a rigid cell wall, so can take various forms. One example is mycoplasma pneumoniae, which causes a pneumonia-like disease. Fungi can also take several forms. There is also mycobacterium, which is also a bacteria which cause diseases such as tuberculosis, leprosy, and an intestinal disease called e's disease in animals and possibly Crohn's Disease in humans. A new category of disease infections is known as stealth virus. It comes from combining human and animal viruses with bacterial sequences to create vaccines. This is called vitera. Scary subject, and believed to be a factor in chronic hard-to-diagnose, hard-to- treat diseases such as chronic fatigue, fibromayalgia, and complex neurological diseases. One of these is Simian Cytomegalovirus from the polio vaccine. A good place to search is google.... http://www.google.com Best wishes. Many of our scientific advancements have made us sick!!!
