ABSTRACT

A mycotoxin is a highly toxic principle produced by molds or fungi. One type, the aflatoxins, is a member of the tricothecene group produced by the fusarium fungus. This has been identified in samples of the so-called “yellow rain” in Southeast Asia, where it is said to have been the cause of many deaths among war refugees. Its presence there is subject to some conjecture, since the fusarium fungus cannot germinate in the humid environment of that area. There is substantial evidence (blood tests, autopsies, and contaminated gas masks) that the former U.S.S.R. have used such lethal agents in Afghanistan, just as many other countries have used these lethal agents throughout the dawn of history. The human body once exposed to a mycotoxin runs a triple risk to its toxic effects. The triple risk factors are direct toxic effect of the mycotoxin, acquisition of mutated RNAi
from the mycotoxin’s parent fungus and creation of an internal biofilm, which will harbor a toxic soup of disease.

INTRODUCTION

Mycotoxins represent an important class of xenobiotics (in terms of morbidity), which cause renal injury in humans and food animals.1 They are not the indigenous microorganisms of man. The flora and fauna indigenous to man are often referred to simply as normal flora. In this context, “flora” denotes all microscopic life forms and “normal” becomes a statistical term. One must not equate normal with nonpathogenic, for many organisms found on and in the body can pose problems under conditions such as the following:

1. Deterioration of the host’s defense mechanisms.
2. Relocation of microorganisms, when an organism finds its way to another area of the body previously uninhabited by it.
3. A disturbance of the “normal flora.”

Normal floras are commonly referred to as amphibionts, ranging from commensals to pathogens. The amphibionts are obligately parasitic on man and other animals but are not obligately pathogenic. They are encountered at least as often in the absence of disease as in its presence. The indigenous microorganisms may flourish in the general region of tissue damage and contribute to the disease state as opportunists, rather than primary etiological agents. Thus, these organisms may be implicated although Koch’s postulates would not necessarily hold true.2
