Toxic Mold & Diet by Margot B

Organic foods, although much better for the body effected by toxic mold due to the lack of chemicals tend to mold more quickly as they lack artificial preservatives.

Drink bottled water. Tap water contains mold. Try to drink distilled or reverse osmosis water as it retains the good bacteria in the digestive tract.

To fight Candida it is best to reduce all foods high in carbohydrate; sugars and starches in order to starve the Candida yeast. Wheat

does not directly feed yeast but since it is a common food sensitivity it is a good idea to eliminate it in the beginning.

The Causes of Candida Overgrowth can be antibiotics, steroids such as cortisone, prednisone, birth-control pills, and estrogen

replacement therapy, poor diet, chemotherapy, radiation, stress,

and alcohol over-use. Avoid all chemical foods and drugs. Strong

antibiotics, steroids, cortico-steroids and tobacco must be avoided.

This diet is necessary for the first critical weeks. This is the only way to deprive the yeast of nutrients and kill it off.

Symptoms are often worsening in damp and/or moldy places.

The Candida cleansing diet should include the following foods, in the correct proportions; 65% high fiber, low starch vegetables

such as broccoli, celery, radish and asparagus. Plenty of fresh

steamed vegetables, especially onions, garlic, ginger root,

cabbage, carrots, peas, sweet potato, cauliflower, yams. Onions

and garlic are very good anti-fungals. All root vegetables should be peeled.

20% high protein foods such as antibiotic-free fish, fowl, nuts, seeds and eggs. Note: spray all nuts and seeds with a solution of

15-30 drops GSE [grapeseed extract] in 2-cups water to kill any

aflatoxins mold or fungus that may be present. All nuts should

be roasted.

10% complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, beans, millet, amaranth, quinoa and buckwheat.

5% fruit; papaya pineapple, grapefruit, peaches, pears, and all types of berries. Other acceptable foods are seafood and sea

vegetables, olive oil, eggs mayonnaise, white rice, soy and vegetable pastas, white rice cakes and crackers, some citrus fruit,

herb teas and unsweetened cranberry juice.

This type of diet also reduces the unpleasant effects of headaches, nausea and fatigue, known as the "herxhiemer reaction", which

are caused by the release of toxins when pathogenic microbes "die-off".
