Sarcoidosis, tumors- Aflatoxins/fungus
Put in a search on the internet for "Sarcoidosis fungal", or "Sarcoidosis Aspergillus".

>>>Aspergillus spp. are frequently secondary opportunistic pathogens in patients with bronchiectasis, carcinoma, other mycoses, sarcoid, and tuberculosis.>>
I'm betting that Dr's have had you on aLOT of
Antibiotics through your lifetime too? They make fungal infections worse instead of better, and are one of the main CAUSES of fungal infections to begin with.
If you are sick enough of being sick enough, the #1 main thing you could be doing for yourself, which I doubt Dr's will ever figure out for you--is getting serious about everything that goes in your mouth that the Gov KNOWS is contaminated with mold/mycotoxins! People have cleared up "cancer tumors" just from making a serious committment to a change in diet. It's not easy, and will cause "die-off" when you eliminate what is feeding the fungus, but you are the only one that can take that control.
Along with getting really serious about cutting out food sources in your diet that are known to be contaminated with mold/mycotoxins, (and sugars, and yeast that feed them) there are plenty of natural antifungal products--the Lauricidin that they mentioned from Mycoplasma's- is also antifungal. Coconut Oil also has the lauric acid, and caprylic acid in it that kills fungi. Oregano oil,
Black-Walnut , grapefruitseed extract, undecylenic acid (also found in castor oil), olive leaf extract.

This is a report from the USDA...the same ones that came up with the "Food Pyramid" with all the servings of grains in it.

All grains, grain products (including cereals, breads, pastas);

>>>When the grain is processed into final products like
flour or feed, the visible mold may be removed,
but the majority of toxins are not and can still
cause poisoning.
>>One possible avenue of concern to humans is
the suspected link between aflatoxin and cancer.
peanuts, all peanut products, corn and all corn products, including corn chips, corn oils, popcorn; all tree nuts; eating the meat of animals that have been fed grains/corn with the mycotoxins (and
Antibiotics ); avoiding alcohol, especially wine and beer;

peeling the skins of all fruits/vegetables, including apples, potatos, and carrots.
>>>Nearly 50 species of Aspergillus have been
listed as producing toxic metabolites. Those
of greatest significance in feed and foods include:
aflatoxin, ochratoxin A, sterigmatocystin,
cyclopiazonic acid, citrinin, patulin,
and tremorgenic toxins.
>> Research has also found that aflatoxin is most commonly found
in tree nuts, peanuts, and oilseeds including
corn and cottonseed.
>>>The greatest problems associated
with aflatoxin are in corn production and foodstuffs.
These problems occur for two reasons.
Corn is grown in climatic areas that give the
fungi/mold the greatest opportunity for growth
and dispersal, and the areas that grow corn
consume it as a main part of the diets of both
animals and humans [17].
>>>Health Effects. Aflatoxins are both acutely
and chronically toxic in animals and humans.
The disease primarily attacks the liver causing
necrosis, cirrhosis, and carcinomas. No
animal has been found to be totally resistant
to the effects of aflatoxin, although susceptibility
differs from species to species. Aflatoxin
B1 has been shown through research to
be the most potent naturally occurring carcinogen
in animals, with a very strong link to human
cancer incidence [21].
>>Perhaps of greater significance to human
health are the immunosuppressive effects of
aflatoxins. Immunosuppression can increase
susceptibility to infectious diseases,
>>>The Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has established action levels
for aflatoxin present in food or feed. These
limits are established by the Agency to provide
an adequate margin of safety to protect
human and animal health.

Ochratoxin
Ochratoxin A, B, and C are mycotoxins produced by some Aspergillus species and Penicillium species, like A. ochraceus or P. viridicatum, with ochratoxin A as the most prevalent and relevant fungal toxin of this group.
Ochratoxin A is known to occur in commodities like cereals, coffee, dried fruit and red wine. It is considered a human carcinogen and is of special interest as it can be accumulated in the meat of animals. Thus meat and meat products can be contaminated with this toxin. Exposure to ochratoxins through diet can have can acute toxicity to mammalian kidneys, and may be carcinogenic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ochratoxin_A
Ochratoxin A, a toxin produced by Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum, is one of the most abundant food-contaminating mycotoxins in the world.[1] Human exposure occurs mainly through consumption of improperly stored food products,[2] particularly contaminated grain and pork products, as well as coffee[3], wine grapes [4] and dried grapes. The toxin has been found in the tissues and organs of animals, including human blood and breast milk.[5]
Immune System:
Ochratoxin A can cause immunosuppression and immunotoxicity in animals.[1] The toxin's immunosuppressant activity in animals may include depressed antibody responses, reduced size of immune organs (such as the thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes), changes in immune cell number and function, and altered cytokine production.[1] Immunotoxicity probably results from cell death following apoptosis and necrosis, in combination with slow replacement of affected immune cells due to inhibition of protein synthesis.[1]

OTA contamination is commonly associated with cereals, fresh grapes, dried vine fruit, wine, beer, coffee, and cocoa.
