Over the last few weeks several others have posted the results from their mycotoxin profile. I received my results today and posting them here in hopes they are useful or of interest to others. I'm only posting the first page of four pages, as the other results tested for 6 additional toxins but for me they all came back with zero.
As for my results, I expected that the Ochratoxin A would be elevated as I've read these levels are commonly elevated in those with Parkinson's. I did not expect that my Gliotoxin would be so extremely high. In fact I have no idea what that is. It looks like I have some researching to do. Does anyone have any knowledge to share about Gliotoxin?
I also received my results today for the GPL-TOX Profile (Toxic non-metal chemicals), and I'll add those later in a separate post.

Thanks, very interesting. I’ve also been trying to work Out where hubby’s gliotoxin is from Apparently it can be from marine sources and may be on salted dry cured products. I wrote to the manufacturer of harroways oats which we eat every day and their quality manager said they regularly test for mycotoxins and their products have non detectable amounts. Also he said:
“I took the liberty of doing a few research regarding gliotoxin and ochratoxin mould/fungi sources. Found 3 mould that produces both ochratoxin and gliotoxin and quite interestingly 2 of which thrive in a salty environment.
“Penicillium verrucosum, P. nordicum and Aspergillus carbonarius are three important ochratoxin A producing species. P. verrucosum is in addition able to produce citrinin. It has been shown earlier that P. nordicum is adapted to NaCl rich environments like salt rich dry cured foods or even salines. In this organism, the biosynthesis of ochratoxin A plays an adaptive role in this habitat. P. verrucosum generally can be found on cereals, but occasionally also on salt rich dry cured foods. In contrast A. carbonarius usually cannot be found in NaCl rich environments.”
I can’t think of foods that would have marine source except maybe seaweed off sushi, salmon and maybe salt off nuts. We don’t live near the sea but do live near a river. He did live near the sea as a young child.
Also I think it can be from mould from water damage but our house doesn’t seem to have signs of this. We have done renovations in old houses before though not for 9 years, and when I met him 20 years ago he was living in a damp musty smelling flat with another guy and the pair of them never cleaned the bathroom. It was disgusting with mould all over shower walls. He had lived there a few year but it was along time ago. I wonder how long it takes to get rid of the toxins. Could he have had it that long?
I do know that I always thought he smelled different from other men even that long ago but just put that down to different pheromones.
Our natural practitioner also said gliotoxin can be linked to Candida.

The way it would persist would be if the offending organism were inhabiting a body cavity such as G.I. tract, lungs, or sinus, or alternatively skin like scalp or feet.
