Re: urine tests: answered my own question

[Guest guest]

I just answered my own question regarding the urine test for

mycotoxins. Thought I would share what I had just found on the net.

You all might know this anyways, but wanted to share. Just now need

to find a doctor in Massachusetts to do this test.

Clinical confirmation of trichothecene mycotoxicosis in patient urine.

Abstract : The investigations of four Cases involving

mold-contaminated buildings and human reaction to exposure, documents

tests of extracted urine containing trichothecene mycotoxins

confirming exposure and the diagnosis of mycotoxicosis in humans. In

each of four Cases, the urine demonstrated antibiotic activity,

sulfuric acid charring, and protein release. Urine was extracted using

ethyl acetate 40V/60V[EA]. Extracted mycotoxin spotted on (TLC)

displayed color and a range of (rf) between 0.2-0.6 using various

solvents. Extract was re-suspended using 50% ethanol V/V to inject

mycotoxins into weanling female Sprague-Dawley rats. Degeneration and

necrosis of the rat's tissue followed. Koch's Postulates conditions

were fulfilled by isolation of the causative agent, the trichothecene

mycotoxins and the reproduction of disease. Examination of human

tissue within the urine extraction group confirms Koch's Postulates

and comparative pathology confirms inhalation Mycotoxicosis, with

severe necrosis of the central nervous system and severe scarring

within the lungs. Extraction of mycotoxins from human patient urine is

a very useful confirmatory test to demonstrate exposure and identify

mycotoxicosis. Low concentrations (6%) of sodium hypochlorite were

ineffective against the activity of trichothecene mycotoxin. The

severity or stages of disease directly correlates the level of

exposure or poisoning (Patent Pending).

Key words : Trichothecene, Mycotoxicosis, Urine confirmation test,

Human pathology.
