Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about mycotoxins, mold exposure, testing, detox support, symptoms, and navigating the healing process.
-
Mycotoxins are linked to many diseases, including autoimmune diseases, autism, Alzheimer and many others. This is why the World Health Organization calls mycotoxins The Great Masquerader.
-
If you have been exposed to molds and mycotoxins and you feel unwell and sick, most likely you have been exposed to mycotoxins. Molds can make you feel sick as can mycotoxins.
Molds are the gun; mycotoxins are the bullet. Mycotoxins affect health more severely.
-
The most accurate testing for mycotoxin exposure is by blood serum antibody testing for 14 different mycotoxins by far.
Urine testing doesn’t test for as many mycotoxins nor is it precise, as urine testing is for mycotoxin metabolites, not mycotoxins as in the blood test.
-
Antibody testing is used to diagnose, treat, and follow clients for almost all autoimmune disorders, and other diseases such as hepatitis. It is not only very well established in clinical medicine but is the most accurate, specific, and sensitive test available today.
-
A small percentage of clients may have mycotoxin antibodies and feel normal. All the others will feel ill. Many more people have antibodies to viruses and don’t feel sick, but this is not so with toxins.
-
Antibodies to mycotoxins means that your immune system is reacting to these mycotoxins now. Positive results give the body burden to mycotoxins. Also, mycotoxins can bind to human tissues and trigger autoimmunity.
-
Serum antibody testing is the most accurate testing method available using today’s latest technology. It is the most specific and accurate testing method available.
-
IgG antibodies to mycotoxins indicate that currently the immune system is reacting to mycotoxins. It is not an indicator of past exposure. IgG to a toxin such as mycotoxins, mercury, pesticides is current exposure; IgG to viruses, bacteria, molds, and parasite is an indication of past exposure. IgE is an indication that mycotoxins stimulate mast cells, causing an inflammatory reaction and can result in Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).
-
The most important thing a person can do if they discover they are being exposed to mycotoxins is to apply the first rule in toxicology: Get the patient away from the toxin or the toxin away from the patient.
-
Clients exposed to mycotoxins should see a health care practitioner that is familiar with how to treat the toxic reaction to mycotoxins.
-
No. Cholestyramine will bind many essential medications and supplements and there is scant evidence it works. Binders of all types have been studied and used in animals, not humans.
-
Our introductory cost is $380 for the panel of 28 test results: 14 different mycotoxins with IgG and IgE antibodies to each.
ALL INTERNATIONAL RETURN SHIPPING IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE.
-
For a more in-depth understanding of mycotoxins, we can send you upon request via email a monograph explaining molds and mycotoxins and all of it is backed by medical and scientific evidence which is included. You can also go to the National Library of Medicine online: PubMed.gov and put in the question box: Campbell AW. This will give you a list of peer-reviewed published studies by Dr. Campbell, many of which are on the subject of molds and mycotoxins. Link.
Do not rely on what is on many websites on the internet by so-called experts: these are only their opinions and not based on medical and scientific evidence.
-
Each mycotoxin antigen is validated according to the highest standards as set by law.
Each mycotoxin is validated individually rather than in sets as is done in other laboratories. To ensure accuracy of reference ranges, each mycotoxin is validated against its own standard.
Our testing is conducted at our certified facility in Guadalajara, Mexico.
-
Immunosuppressant and corticosteroid drugs can reduce antibody production and cause false negative results.
-
The drugs that clients should be off for 6 to 8 weeks prior to testing are immunosuppressive drugs, including all corticosteroids and chemotherapeutic drugs.
Other medication and/or supplements do not affect antibody testing. Serum antibody testing for mycotoxins does not need to be fasting.
-
When we receive your serum we will send you an email.
Your results will then be ready within 14 business days.
You will be notified via email when the results are ready, and they will be available on the webpage portal under your registration.

Blood serum testing for mycotoxin antibodies have been used for the last 20 years and are highly accurate. The specificity and sensitivity of blood serum testing for the presence of IgG and IgE antibodies to mycotoxins in the blood are of the highest degree. Antibodies to mycotoxins form adduct and bind to human tissue and may trigger autoimmunity. Antibodies also show the body burden to mycotoxins. Therefore, the measurement of antibodies against mycotoxins is clinically much more meaningful than measuring metabolites of mycotoxins in urine.
Urine testing does not test for mycotoxins: it tests for their metabolites, so the accuracy is much lower. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), a part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), low levels of mycotoxins are found in many foods. For that reason, they are routinely present in the urine of healthy people. Therefore, it does not mean that the person is suffering from any disease or disorder related to molds or mycotoxins. The most important point is that if you have mycotoxins in urine it is a good thing: the body is doing its job of getting rid of mycotoxins from foods and beverages. Urine is an excretion and does not reflect disease.

Molds produce toxins known as mycotoxins. Molds are ALWAYS present in homes or workplaces that are water damaged and they are ALWAYS producing mycotoxins. Even small amounts of mold growth in the air conditioning or ducts will result in the occupants being chronically exposed, constantly breathing mold spores and their mycotoxins, resulting in illnesses. Many people cannot see any indoor mold growth: the E.P.A. cautions that approximately 50% of the fungal growth can be hidden, i.e. hidden from view.
-
The first rule of toxicology is: get the patient away from the toxin or the toxin away from the patient. Until you leave the toxic environment, no amount of treatment will help and you will get worse and worse.

Mycotoxins are linked to many common diseases, including Autoimmune Diseases, POTS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Lyme, etc. This is why the World Health Organization calls mycotoxins The Great Masquerader.
