IgG and IgE Antibodies Blood Test (Mycotoxins)

Mycotoxins and moulds have been called "The Great Masquerader" by the World Health Organization. This is because they imitate so many other illnesses and conditions that they are difficult to diagnose and treat.

The first step is to see if you are suffering from the effects of mycotoxins and moulds. Moulds are biological, but mycotoxins are toxins and, therefore much more dangerous. This blood serum test is the most precise and accurate test there is for the detection of the body's reaction to mycotoxins, both toxicologically and/or allergically. With the results of this test panel, a health care professional can then take the next step and start treatment.


IgG antibodies to mycotoxins indicate that currently the immune system is reacting to mycotoxins. It is not an indicator of past exposure. IgG to a toxin such as mycotoxins, mercury, pesticides is current exposure; IgG to viruses, bacteria, molds, and parasite is an indication of past exposure. IgE is an indication that mycotoxins stimulate mast cells, causing an inflammatory reaction and can result in Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).

Each test result comes with a full explanation of the mycotoxins, what the results mean, and what are the recommended treatments, with over 110 references as a guide

The serum is tested to provide 28 test results: 14 different mycotoxins (listed below) with IgG and IgE antibodies to each.

• Satratoxin
• Verrucarin and Verrucarol
• Ochratoxin (A and B)
• T2 Toxin
• Vomitoxin aka Deoxynivalenol
• Cladosporium Toxin (Cladosporium HSP70)
• Alternaria Toxin (Alternariol)
• Aspergillus Toxin (Aspergillus Hemolysin)
• Aspergillus Auto Toxin (Sterigmatocystin)
• Penicillium Toxin (Mycophynolic Acid)
• Aspergillus/Penicillium Neuro Auto-Toxin (Gliotoxin)
• Stachybotrys Toxin (Trichothecene)
