ruth, I note that Zygomycosis refers to the angiotropic (blood vessel-invading) infection produced by the various Zygomycetes.

Very interesting indeed Ruth! Great find and thank you. The NIH Clinical Trial speaks of pts. w/ iron overload. Wouldn't that show on a routine blood test I wonder (CBC w/ differentials). Ill look into it. waldenflo

Ruth,
Do you or anybody here suspect iron overload? At one time I had considered iron overload, anybody else?
Frito

i think the mold uses my iron so that would make me anemic anyway? i've been looking at old tests but have not seen iron measured yet..........i think it is usually measured in hematocrit? when you start googling this..... it will include other molds. as well as zygomycetes (which i cultured out). it is looking good for treatment of an iron chelator with ambisone. so, if the mold takes my iron.............. then the chelator takes it from the mold? the ambisone kills the rest? www.wrongdiagnosis.com/i/iron_deficiency_anemia/tests.htm#hometest

Iron overload could be a factor here. For years the doctor had me taking very heavy doses. Even as a baby they gave me liquid drops (that turned out to be mistakenly too strong). At the time of infection I don't know how regularly I was taking it. Mites, mold, and moisture were definately issues.
