Itraconazole is commonly thought of as just an antifungal. Some in the mold world use it to treat mold colonization - where certain molds like Aspergillus start flourishing in the gut triggering inflammation and toxicity.
This 2020 article by Dr. Sid Baker created a shockwave in the autism community, where he reported the full reversal of autistic features in a child just from the use of itraconazole.
How did this happen? WHY did this happen?
This presentation gets into the remarkable properties of itraconazole, and why it can be so helpful in children with autism and other mental health conditions (including eczema and autoimmunity) due to mold-related illness and exposure.
It questions the existing mindset around colonization and mold toxicity, and presents a new understanding of these concepts.
It demonstrates the powerful gut/immune-modulating properties of itraconazole and makes the case for these immune-modulating properties being the primary mechanisms through which itraconazole is helping these children and individuals with mold-related illness.
