After reading (really skimming) " Mold Warriors " I was thinking that

maybe transfer factor can " retrain " the immune sustem to break down

mold. My understanding is that it is a glitch in the immune system,

right?

I asked Chip Dopson, formulator of TF for Chisolm Biological

laboratory that very question five years ago.

The problem seems to be that toxin responses are " upstream " of

antibody programming. T2 toxins " derail " the ability to attach a

signal molecule to antigens. TF might generate an additional

response, but the immune system might still be unable to use that

enhanced immune activity to target the toxin. All you might be

getting is more inflammation but no reduction in toxins.

" Allergies " are downstream of antibody programming.

" innate immune activation complement factors " affect immune function

in a more fundamental way.

Protein synthesis inhibitors of Satratoxin, are not only known to

alter gut flora for days after exposure, but also to interfere with

macrophage " burst " function.

The effect you see in mycotoxin exposure is not exactly " what

happens " as it is " What doesn't " , such as proper immune function.

People show up with all kinds of different problems, depending on

their own pathogens, genetics, and a myriad of other variables.

As Dr Shoemaker says, the true marker for a sick building are sick

people.
