Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 , The best thing I can suggest is to read the chapter on MARCoNS in " Mold Warriors " that Dr.Shoemaker wrote. After reviewing this chapter from what I understand there is no specific symptoms, but they do affect other blood levels/hormones such as MSH and exacerbates some symptoms that you may already have such as fatigue, that he mentions. ALL of Dr.Shoemaker's patients normally this test is performed. It's a deep sinus culture. They are staph infections that can prevent you from recovering from other ailments and also seem to be resistant to many antibodics. He normally does a triple dose of antibodics to get the MARCoNS under control, if not completely eliminated. I will quote from his book. MARCoNS - Multiply Antibotic Resistant Coagnulase Negative Staphs. MSH - alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone. A small peptide hormone (13 amino acids) that regulates nearly all aspects of the innate immune response. Made in the hypothalamus,it controls nerve, hormone, cytokine function, skin cells (keratinocytes) and mucus membrane defenses, as well as controlling production of endorphins and melatonin. Hope this helps, KC " MARCoNS thrives in the presence of low levels of MSH. MARCoNS aggreviate the MSH deficiency, perpertuating their own growth by sending out stealth hemolysins to launch cytokine attacks on the leptin receptor and destroying MSH by producing exotoxins. MSH apparently eliminates MARCoNS from its biofilm by stimulating a vigorous, targeted cytokine response against the organisms in their sanctuary. The protection by MSH from colonization with MARCoNS is lost in MSH deficiency. " > > What are the obvious symptoms of Marcons beyond chronic sinus > infections?
