Lannie & Rich's Newsletter The following questionnaire is designed to aid you in measuring how much you have been exposed to fungi and their mycotoxins. Physicians may also use this questionnaire to assess their patients’ histories. (I have cut the portion of the questions that the doctors might ask.) Because the degree of exposure varies from incident to incident, and because consumption of natural, antifungal nutrients can often neutralize a portion of such exposure, we are unable to provide a meaningful index to which you might map your final score. However, a high number of positive answers would suggest that your condition has been caused by fungi and their mycotoxins. If a couple of weeks on the Antifungal Program improves your health, very likely a fungus does lie at the root of your problem. Assessing Fungi's Impact On Your Health 1. Have you ever taken repeated or prolonged rounds of antibiotics? 2. Have you taken repeated or prolonged courses of steroids or cortisone-based pills? 3. Have you been diagnosed with fibromyalgia? 4. Do you have, or have you ever had asthma? 5. Have you been diagnosed with arthritis? 6. Do you have diabetes? 7. At any time in your life, have you been treated for worms or other parasites? 8. Have you traveled to less developed countries? When and where? 9. Have you ever been diagnosed with cancer? 10. Do you have, or have you had, ringworm, fingernail or toenail fungus, or jock itch? 11. Have you ever been diagnosed with attention-deficit disorder? 12. If you are currently ill, were you in and around areas such as construction sites at the time you became sick? 13. Do you suffer from fatigue 14. Do you suffer from irritability, frequent memory loss, or a feeling of constantly being “spaced out”? 15. Do your muscles, bones, or joints bother you? 16. Do you get headaches? 17. Do you have itching, tingling, or burning skin? 18.Do you have hives, psoriasis, dandruff, or chronic skin rashes? 19. Do you have acne? 20. Have you experienced hair loss, itching in your inner ear, or vision problems? 21. Do you have high blood pressure, low blood pressure, high cholesterol or triglycerides? 22. Do you have a mitral valve prolapse or heart symptoms, i.e., racing pulse or uncontrolled heart beat? 23. Have you ever been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease? 24. Are you bothered by recurrent digestive problems, including bloating, belching, gas, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, indigestion, or reflux? 25. Do you have chronic infection for which your doctor keeps prescribing antibiotics? 26. Does your condition worsen in response to the heat from taking a shower or bath? Does very hot weather make it worse? 27. Do your symptoms worsen on damp days or in musty, moldy environments? 28. On days when the mold/pollen count is elevated, do you feel worse? 29. Do you often feel “blue” or depressed? 30. Do you drink alcohol? 31. Do you smoke? 32. Do you often crave sugar? 33. Do you tend to eat a lot of corn and peanuts? 34. Have you ever spent a lot of time on a farm? 35. Have you experienced mold-related problems in your home or office? 36. Has your home or office ever been flooded? 37. Are you allergic to pollens, molds, animal dander, dust, mites, perfumes, chemicals, smoke, or fabric store odors? 38. Are you allergic to any foods? For Women Only 39. Have you ever taken birth control pills? 40. Have you ever been bothered by vaginal or urinary tract problems? 41. Are your ovaries, thyroid gland, adrenals, and pancreas functioning as they should? Have you experienced symptoms possibly indicating hormonal disturbances, such as PMS, menstrual irregularities, loss of libido, infertility, sugar cravings, weight problems, or feeling inappropriately hot or cold? For Men Only 42. Have you ever felt pain in your testicles unrelated to injury? 43. Have you ever been bothered with prostate problems? 44. Are your testicles, thyroid gland, adrenals, and pancreas functioning as they should? Have you experienced symptoms that possibly indicate hormonal disturbances, such as loss of libido, infertility, impotence, sugar cravings, weight problems, and constantly feeling hot or cold? A high yes-to-no ratio may mean that the degree to which you are exposed to fungi puts you at risk for disease. If you suspect you are at risk, or that you may have already contracted a fungal infection, you should consider making some immediate changes to your life-style. Try the Initial Phase diet (http://w11.zetaboards.com/Health_411/topic/902911/1/#new), exercise under supervision of a physician, and get on some strong, natural or prescriptive, antifungal medications for a time. Once again, please do so under the supervision of your doctor. If your health improves, or if it worsens for a period of a few days or weeks before returning to normal, quite likely a fungus lay at the root of your problem. Keep a close watch on your symptoms, returning to the initial Phase diet from time to time, as necessary. The diet is also listed on this site under Fungal Issues.

Notice that your symptoms may get worse during the two week Beginning program. That is because the fungus is trying to kill off what is attacking it. Mycotoxins are very strong toxins which may give you "Herxheimer's Reaction" (worsening symptoms for a time). |
