MARCoNS Biotoxins

I know that we have posts around this subject, but I really spent some time today really reading up on this. I mean I've read this before, but I've got to tell you I really think this is why some people just don't get better. There were a lot of new things that I read about today such as MSH (Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone) which affects the pituitary gland, hormones, gut health, etc. when this is low there is a cascading affect throughout the body. Really, very interesting. This is also something that doctors don't often test for when mold and/or biotoxins are thought to be a part of the picture.

My doctor did test me for MARCoNS and the reality is most people with illness will test positive. There are different treatment options. One that I read about today, that was interesting was treating with the nasal spray xylitol.

Strangely, my MSH was high. Good info though, will read up on it. My nose gets super tender on and off, but just the cartilage part. I also get an intense itch up in my nose that literally wakes me up at night. I know I have some sort of problem there. Planned to speak to my doctor about it next time.

No, just had MSH test through labcorp. I am doing a mycotoxin test from Real Time Labs tomorrow. I think that would show mold, right?

Yes. There will be 4 classes of toxins tested.
