Acting on a hunch triggered by moldy smell in bedroom of relative I spoke of earlier, I searched on schizophrenia and mold:

Shaw reports that the organic acid test has been used to find underlying causes in psychosis, schizophrenia, depression, autism, attention deficit disorder, and a host of physical ailments. “A high percentage of people have benefited,” he says, “because they pinpoint the physical basis of the disease.”

The organic acid test is commonly ordered to detect the presence of Candida (yeast) overgrowth which can cause a broad spectrum of mental disorders including depression and schizophrenia.

“I usually recommend allergy tests for psychosis as well,” says Shaw. “Mold, for example, can trigger a psychotic reaction in some people. One doctor videoed a female patient who had to be restrained by three people after being exposed to a single drop of mold extract.”

In cases of psychosis or schizophrenia, Shaw recommends a standard physical examination and tests to check for underlying medical causes, such as a Chem-25 blood test, urinalysis, thyroid test, and a 5-hour glucose tolerance test. If nothing significant shows, he recommends the organic acid urine test, a comprehensive food allergy IGG blood test, comprehensive inhalant allergy panel, comprehensive stool analysis, amino acid test, essential fatty acid test, metals hair test and an opiates peptide urine test. These tests are unique. Psychotics commonly poorly digest wheat or milk which can result in the production of opiate (as in opium) peptides (compounds formed from amino acids). All three tests are available at Great Plains Lab.

“We don’t have any hard numbers,” says Shaw, “but I’d say that on 50% of individuals with psychosis you would find significant abnormalities in these areas [of the tests] and they would experience benefit.”

The costs of the tests are: Organic acid – $220; Comprehensive food allergy – $200; Opiate peptides – $100, amino acid test $200, Metals Hair Analysis $125 Inhalant Allergy Panel $165, Comprehensive Stool Analysis $305, and Essential Fatty Acids $175 They are covered by many insurance policies.

Great Plains Laboratory is in Overland Park, Kansas, at (913) 341-8949.

http://www.mold-help.org/content/view/455/ Aflatoxin - Sample is a piece of moldy bread Extremely toxic when in the liver because it seems to inhibit the liver's ability to detoxify propyl alcohol. Stop eating moldy foods. Kills portions of the liver. Causes propanol buildup and then cancer. Also causes schizophrenia, hepatitis, cirrhosis. Drastically effects immunity and contributes to thymic atrophy and macrophage activation. Produces a low white blood cell count. Heat maple syrup to near boiling in the original jar with the lid removed. Add vit. C and store in refrigerator.

Ergot Food fungus - especially alcoholic beverages. Alcohol and ergot interact to make each more toxic. Alcohol drives this toxin deeper into our tissues. (add Vit. C - 1/8 tsp. per cup to store-bought products such as wine). Promotes strange feelings and behavior - especially in children.

LSD is an ergotoxin.

Ergot is a fungus which replaces the seeds of the rye plant (Secale cornatum). It takes the form of black or purplish-black, crooked grains or "spurs" , about 3/4 to 1 1/2" long and 1/10 to 2/10 inch thick. It has a nauseous odor and a disagreeable taste. Thus it is found in cereals, whole grain breads, wines and honey. Can be detoxified by adding vitamin C but takes at least 10 minutes. Warm honey and add 1/8 tsp. per cup. Stir.

Contributes to alcoholism and causes seizures, schizophrenia, To help clear ergot from the body take glutamine (500 mg. ), a B-50 complex and Vit. B3 (niacinamide -500 mg) with each meal. Add Vitamin C to nuts, pasta cereals, grains etc. Avoid fossil fuel contamination. Switch to electric everything. Also help getting rid of beryllium by taking thioctic acid maybe 4 per day. Ergot may be responsible for bizarre behavior such as saying mean and cruel things, expressing unusual, irrational thoughts, feeling emotionless or unreal, having crying spells or bad temper.

Sterigmatocystin Mycotoxin - also called " Sterig", plentiful in pasta including health brands, maple syrup Schizophrenia

Here is a recipe for eradicating aflatoxins in food items:

Simply sprinkling vitamin C over roasted nuts is not effective because the molds have penetrated the surface. Rinse the nuts in water first (a lot of mold is removed in this simple way). Cover the nuts with water, add about 1/4 tsp. vitamin C powder (for a pint of nuts) and mix. Let stand for 5 minutes. The water penetrates the nuts, taking the vitamin C with it and detoxifies them. Pour off the water and dry the nuts in the oven at low heat. (Don't burn them or you'll be making benzopyrene!).

Nevertheless. . .

   * Avoid crackers, they are notorious for molds
   * Dried fruits are very moldy. Soak in vitamin C water. Rinse and
     bake to dry again. Then store in refrigerator or freezer.
   * Peanut (store-bought) butter can't be mixed with vitamin C due to
     the mixing problem even if you mix thoroughly.
   * Tea is quite moldy if purchased in tea bags. Use single herb teas
     from fresh sources in bulk. Use a non-metal strainer.
   * Sterilize strainer and dish washing rag or sponge occasionally
     with hydrogen peroxide, or bake it or put it in a dishwasher.
   * Pick out all dark and shriveled bits in hot cereals. Add honey and
     salt while boiling. This raises the temperature even more.
   * At the end, add vitamin C powder.
   * Do not use grains that are more than six months old. Store cereals
     in cupboard or freezer not the refrigerator. There they attract
     moisture which develops molds.
   * Buy red potatoes instead of white ones and wash them well. Cut out
     dubious spots. They don't have the green scopolamine areas which
     are toxic. Don't fry them!
   * Cut the ends off corn on the cob. Refrain from eating nachos,
     popcorn and other dry corm products.
