Mold and biotoxins

I grew up in a moldy house in Philadelphia, where my father got infected with Aspergillus that infiltrated his lungs. He was chronically short of breath and coughing, but he never smoked. He used many types of pulmonary inhalers and finally died when the infection spread throughout his body. I had my issues with mold but was able to conquer them.

We now know that toxins from mold such as Aspergillus, Stachybotrys, Penicillium, and others are affecting many patients in the United States and the world. I believe it is imperative to check your exposure to them. I have seen mold toxins in patients as far away as Dubai and Kuai. Mold can enter our body if we inhale the spores, absorb the toxins or ingest them in the form of contaminated food. Certain foods, such as dried fruits, aged cheeses, mushrooms, over ripe fruits and vegetables, beer, wine, vinegar, and processed meats are known to contain small amounts of specific mycotoxins. The problem is mold toxins can dissolve in fat and water and move anywhere through the body and all the membranes known as the biotoxin pathway.
