THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
Since all foods have both their own and others' molds, there
must be thousands of molds. Very many have been studied be-
sides aflatoxin producers.
Zearalenone..............................................................................
Zearalenone, an anabolic and uterotrophic metabolite, is fre-
quently found in commercial cereal grains and in processed
foods and feeds, and is often reported as causative agent of
naturally occurring hyperestrogenism and infertility in swine,
poultry and cattle.^18What this means is, in animals, “zear” looks likes extra es-
trogen to the body. Does it affect humans the same way? Are high
estrogen levels a problem for us? I find nearly every breast
cancer case shows a too-high estrogen level for years before the
cancer is found! It starts females maturing too early, too. It could
cause PMS, ovarian cysts and infertility. Not everybody gets all
of these effects. And what is the effect on men and boys of eating
an estrogen-like mycotoxin in their daily diet? This female
hormone could have a drastic effect on the maturing process even
in small amounts.
Zearalenone ("zear") and aflatoxin both have immune low-
ering effects. Zearalenone can induce thymic atrophy and
macrophage activation.^19 If you have low immunity (low T-
