A mold by definition is “a fungus that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae” (1). One of the most common mold fungal species is aspergillus. In contrast, “fungi that can adopt a single-celled growth habit are called yeasts” (2), which includes the many species of candida. Both candida and aspergillus are types […]
Those with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other special needs individuals often have biochemical and nutritional imbalances that contribute to language, socialization, and behavioral problems. In some situations, these issues are exacerbated by fungal toxins linked to chronic candidiasis and mold-produced compounds. For example, chemical aldehydes from fungus are known to be highly reactive compounds that […]
Q: What specificity of Arabinose? What are other potential sources? A: Various foods such as apples, apple juice, grapes, pears and more need to be avoided prior to testing. Here is information from the Organic Acids Test page – “Urine: 10 mL of first morning urine before food or drink is suggested. Patients should avoid […]
Organic acids (OAs) are compounds that have acidic properties, and many are normal byproducts of biochemical, a.k.a. metabolites. However, there are certain compounds that provide clues regarding metabolic disorders, including mitochondrial dysfunction, and potential toxin exposures which can negatively impact health. Certain elevated amino acid metabolites can even be linked to rare genetic diseases called […]
