Toxic mold fungi produce mycotoxins, which they use to kill off their microbial competitors. These mycotoxins are very harmful, as they damage the brain and central nervous system. This is why they concentrate and weaponize some of these same structural molds, which are found in homes, old schools and businesses, into some of the most powerful biological weapons on earth, the T-2 Mycotoxins.

The mycotoxins can contribute significantly to chronic unexplained depression and bipolar disorders. The mycotoxic damage can cause extreme irritability, which can contribute to family disruption, domestic abuse and even domestic violence! Families living in the same home where mycotoxins from mold fungi are concentrated at high levels, are living under potentially volatile conditions.

One of the research projects we hope to initiate is the Domestic Violence Testing Project. A program to test participants of domestic abuse and domestic violence, for levels of mold fungi in their bodies and their environments, in order to establish a causational relationship.

In a National Institute of Health study of alcohol abusers and domestic abuse, they studied the etiology of the physiological affects occurring within the human body which can lead to family disruption, domestic abuse and domestic violence. Basically, it found that alcohol destroys the connections between the parts of the brain where 'Fight or Flight' response is initiated, and the part of the brain where the 'Fight or Flight' response is reasoned out, and the body calms back down to normal chemistry and operational levels. With the communication connections between these two parts of the brain at diminished capacity, the person gets stuck in the 'Fight or Flight' state. The person will either Fight, or Flight by going for a walk. Going for a walk allows the extended time required for the person's brain connections to communicate and initiate the information needed to adjust the chemistry and calm the person down.

This directly, or indirectly, applies to a person who has had a toxic mold exposure. Drinking alcohol is virtually dinking a molded product. Sugars, yeasts, grains and fruits are aged, fermented, molded to make beers and wines. There is a great deal of similarities between alcohol and a toxic mold exposure when looking at the symptoms and the effects on the human body. The mycotoxins produced by toxic molds damage the brain and central nervous system. This is why some of the same structural molds found in some homes, workplaces and schools are concentrated and weaponized into the most powerfull biological weapons on Earth, the T-2 Mycotoxins. Their effects on the brain and central nervous system is why they are used as a source. I believe this may very well be one of the ways these connections between parts of the brain become diminished.

As I met and discussed this topic with other people who have had toxic mold exposures, I found that it was common knowledge amongst them that the odds were very much against them staying together as a family. The effects of the mycotoxins on the brain and nervous system, can contribute to heightened levels of anxiety and irritability. They can oscillate at a heightened level of anxiety and irritability, ready to be set off by even the smallest trigger. During my own toxic mold exposure, one of my teenage children and I could have a trigger take us from being completely calm, to being on the verge of a physical confrontation within a few minutes.

There is another aspect which may contribute to the chemistry of all this. Mold fungi are living, adapting organisms. They need moisture and nutrients in order to grow and survive. When they are living inside you there is only one place for them to get the moisture and nutrients they require, your body. They suck the moisture and nutrients right out of your body, leaving diminished supplies of both available for the requirements of your body. This steals away the moisture and nutrients your body needs, changes it's chemistry makeup and triggers reactions attempting to correct the situation. Diverted moisture leaves your body underhydrated, leading to dry skin, especially on the hands and scalp. Diverted nutrients leaves your body craving to have those nutrients replaced.

The nutrient most liked by mold is sugar. Sugar carbohydrates give mold the nutrients they need to survive and grow inside you. How does this diversion of sugar carbohydrates affect the operational systems of your body? First of all, your body will crave more sugar carbohydrates to replace those which have been diverted away from use by your body. The low level of blood sugar would trigger the adrenal glands to produce the glucagon hormone, which triggers the liver to break down glycogen into glucose. This raises the blood sugar level again. I have to wonder if this resupplies the mold with the sugar they like so much, triggering the cycle over and over in a never ending cycle. This can put strain on the pancreas and adrenal glands, which makes it more difficult for our bodies to deal with stress. I feel this can also contribute to diabetes.
