Specific Toxic Substances and the OAT Mold Exposure Mold exposure, often an overlooked influence on chronic illness, can be challenging to detect. The OAT can further assist in this detection process by looking at fungal activity and mycotoxin metabolism versus exclusive excretion of mycotoxins. Specific organic acid markers such as 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furoic acid (HMFA), Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid, […]

An organic acid is any compound that generates protons at the prevailing pH of human blood. Although some organic acidemias result in lowered blood pH, other organic acidemias are associated with […]
