DEFINITION OF FUNGALBIONICS
The term FUNGALBIONICS was created in an attempt to describe one of the most dynamic microbial chemical factories ever encountered in the history of scientific exploration: the fungus
Fungi are masters at producing a wide array of biologically active substances which serve the producing fungus extremely well. These biological metabolites are anti-predatory, i.e. territory-protective, and exist to ensure that the fungus will survive as long as possible in this quite hostile world.
These metabolites are anti-viral, anti-bacterial. anti-protozoan, anti-insect, anti-animal and, of course, anti-human. These metabolites are referred to as mycotoxins. The term is derived from the Greek mykes, meaning fungus, and toxicum, meaning toxin or poison.
Mycotoxins Are Poisons.
One could test the validity of this most biologically potent fungal reality by eating a cupful of poison mushrooms, a species of fungus. However, it would be less fatal to simply read about the deadly effect which they have on humans and all other animals. For that mushroom, the name of the game is food, for in nature the animal which nibbles on them dies and is slowly consumed by the (root-like) mycelia under the ground which grow up into the hapless and dead creature. Many plants meet this same fate.
Thus, the term FUNGALBIONICS attempts to convey this remarkable degree of biological activity which these simple single-celled fungi demonstrate. All fungi are so empowered, some less against humans, some more so. While fungi are potentially our enemies, some of their mycotoxins, such as penicillin, have proven to be beneficial to humans who suffer from bacterial infections or other diseases.
The "bionic" nature of fungi is seen by the magnificent power to save human lives from bacterial infection which penicillin has demonstrated. That is indeed a bionic miracle. Other fungal-derived drugs are just as miraculous, as will be described later.
This series of FUNGALBIONICS books provide documentary evidence that fungi and their biological metabolites, the mycotoxins, are silent and relentless attackers of human health in that they cause the major "degenerative" and "cancerous" diseases which plague mankind.
FUNGALBIONICS appears to be a most appropriate term to describe the fungal/mycotoxin findings which will be presented in the following pages. lt is a term which the the physician author and his research associates have found to be acceptable. We hope that the reader will agree with us.
