Dr. Neil Nathan Question Title * 1. A patient who presents with classical symptoms of mold toxicity and has a clear history of mold exposure shows negative results on his urine mycotoxin test. How might you explain this? The patient does not have mold toxicity The mold toxicity has compromised the patient’s ability to detoxify so that they cannot excrete the toxin present within them The patient’s mold toxicity is caused by a mold toxin which cannot currently be measured. All of the above are possible OK Question Title * 2. A patient with the diagnosis of mold toxicity has been treated for 6 months. A repeat urine mycotoxin test shows a significant increase in several of the mycotoxins which were present on the first assay. How might you best explain these findings? The patient’s ability to detoxify has improved with treatment and you are now seeing a larger amount of toxin in the urine which actually implies improvement The patient has been re-exposed to mold The patient has not been able to leave their moldy home environment. The treatment program with anti-fungal medications has killed mold cells, releasing additional amounts of toxin into the patient’s system. All of the above OK Question Title * 3.
