Re: MCS and Mold

More | Report Post

Good morning, Judi:

Perhaps you could be a little more specific. MCS is
generally recognized as a condition consisting of primarily a
dysfunctional psychological component. “Toxic mold”
is a term that was invented by the news media, and it is not
a term that has any scientific validity and there is no such
thing as a “toxic mold.” Finally, where does the liver issue
tie into your question on mold or MCS? Certainly with regard
to molds, there are some genera that produce powerful
mycotoxins which are known to be associated with chronic and
serious liver diseases if one eats foods that are heavily
contaminated with the molds bearing those toxins, however,
there is no evidence what ever to suggest that the normal
exposures to the standard “toxic molds” found in every house
in the world has any adverse effects on the liver.

I provide scores of references in my discussion on molds
which you may find useful. The discussion is at

Cheers,
