“To put this into even simpler language, the mold toxin can enter a cell and set off a severe inflammatory process. Most people (75%) are not susceptible to this reaction because they are genetically blessed to be able to bind to and get rid of this toxin before it creates all of this damage. Unfortunately, 25% of the population cannot do so, and are predisposed to being affected by mold toxins and these are the patients who we see with mold toxicity. There is nothing psychological about this genetic predisposition to illness created by mold toxins, but because you can have one or two individuals at home, or in a workplace, profoundly affected by mold toxins, but others will be perfectly fine in the same environment, you can understand how the immediate (and incorrect) assumption that it must be something psychological.”
