DOCTOR FUNGUS

This site is very helpful to anyone studying fungi. Unlike most websites, it references human fungal conditions. Their photographs are fantastic and you will find discussions on toxic buildings in addition to toxic people!

NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE

Search until your heart is content! Medical journals, medical articles and even authors are available on this massive database. Learn more about fungus, although keep in mind that searching for human diseases caused by fungi in medical journals is often like searching for a needle in a haystack.

A DISCUSSION ON DIMORPHIC FUNGI

Dimorphic fungi cause systemic mycosis often termed as histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, sporotrichosis, penicilliosis marneffei and coccidioidomycosis. These are human systemic diseases caused by fungi.

WHAT CROPS GROW WHERE AND WHEN?

If, indeed, corn, wheat, rye and oats, being grains, do become contaminated with fungal metabolites (mycotoxins) during the storage process, it's nice to know where they are grown. This is a very useful site for those who study fungi.

THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS TO ENHANCE GROWTH IN ANIMALS

The opening sentence in this amazing research paper says it all. "Supplementing animal feed with antimicrobial agents to enhance growth has been common practice for more than 30 years and is estimated to constitute more than half the total antimicrobial use worldwide." We fatten cows on antibiotics and yet cry ignorance when responding to the questions of childhood obesity!

MYCOTOXINS AND TEST KITS

Once again, let the opening of this paper set the stage for its content. "Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by fungi (molds) growing on grain, feed, or food in the field or in storage. Mycotoxins may be detrimental to the health of both animals and humans. Although thousands of molds are capable of growing on stored grain, only a few mold species produce mycotoxins." An invaluable source for studying fungal poisons.

MORE ON YEASTS

Technical information on yeast and yeast-like fungi. Remember as you read this; The yeast that causes most human fungal infections is Candida albicans and the most common yeast to enter the prosate in fungal prostatitis is Candida albicans. That should get you thinking...
