Chaetoglobosin
When you think of Chaetoglobosin, think resistance. This mycotoxin is made by Chaetomium mold to help it break through our immune resistance against fungal invasion. It also leads to more treatment-resistant infections.
Chaetoglobosins are toxic to every cell in the body; the respiratory tract including the sinus cavity; vital organs, such as the liver, kidneys, and pancreas; immune cells, leading to immune suppression; the genes; the nervous system; and the reproductive system, leading to reduced sperm motility.
Even though it doesn’t appear to directly affect the gut or mitochondria, it can lead to energy depletion and muscle wasting by preventing glucose from entering cells, essentially starving them of fuel.
Signs & Symptoms
- Reduced TGF-beta
- Low white blood cell count
- Rapid aging
- Eye, skin, and respiratory irritation
- Recurrent infections
- Chronic sinusitis
- Fatigue, brain fatigue
- Muscle loss, weakness, poor tone
- Exercise intolerance
- Hypothyroid
- Unstable blood sugar
- Reduced sperm motility
Food Sensitivity
People with Chaetomium toxicity may develop sensitivity to alkaloids in foods and beverages, such as those containing the alkaloids caffeine and theobromine, which include coffee, cacao, and tea. Other alkaloid containing foods include tomatoes (tomatine) and potatoes (solanine).
Dietary sources of the amino acids proline and lysine (animal meats, organs, and skin) are supportive, fortifying the cell structure.Â
