Would love folks thoughts on this mycotoxin test, which my functional medicine doc wants me to take. This is AFTER a urine mycotoxin test was negative…for everything.
Im trying to discern whether this test is valid, as it looks at levels of IGG and IGE to molds and mycotoxins…normally IGG levels are indicative of a *past* exposure to viruses and bacteria; it tells you nothing about current exposures / colonization etc.
Would love the thoughts from the superknowledgeable folks here! Here’s the description of the test. @Hip any thoughts?
“MyMycoLab is a laboratory specializing in blood serum antibody testing for mycotoxins. Our laboratory tests for 12 different mycotoxins for both IgG and IgE antibodies. This is the most precise and accurate method to determine if a person has been exposed to mycotoxins.
Mycotoxins and molds have been called "The Great Masquerader" by the World Health Organization. This is because they imitate so many other illnesses and conditions that they are difficult to diagnose and treat.
The first step is to see if you are suffering from the effects of mycotoxins and molds. Molds are biological, but mycotoxins are toxins, therefore much more dangerous. This blood serum test is the most precise and accurate test there is for the detection of the body's reaction to mycotoxins, both toxicologically and/or allergically. With the results of this test panel, a health care professional can then take the next step and start treatment.
Each test result comes with a full explanation of the mycotoxins, what the results mean, and what are the recommended treatments, with over 110 references as a guide.
The cost for the panel of 24 antibodies is $380.”
