Diet & Toxic
Mold
Mold or yeast
fungus can
affect as many
as 50% of all
patients and may
cause as many
illnesses as
bacteria and
viruses.
This affects
digestion and
the absorption
of essential
vitamins and
minerals. Over
time, the result
is chronic
progressive
disease such as
cardiovascular
ailments,
arthritis, gout,
asthma,
allergies,
sinusitis,
gastritis,
tuberculosis,
cancer, and
more. The most
common symptoms
include
sneezing,
wheezing, joint
pain, muscle
aches,
headaches,
fatigue,
depression,
anxiety,
irritability,
confusion,
rashes, itching,
poor memory,
numbness,
digestive
ailments,
abdominal pain,
bloating, gas,
constipation
hives, rashes,
vaginal yeast
infections, and
urinary
frequency,
attacks of
anxiety and
shaking when
hungry, and the
symptoms can be
flu-like. Mold
can cause fungal
diseases of the
skin, nails,
ears and lungs.
You may
experience a few
of these
symptoms or many
to have a mold
or yeast
infection. [Candidiasis].
This can be
caused by a poor
diet [high in
sugar and
carbohydrates]
and high stress
levels, which
keep feeding the
yeast
overgrowth. Mold
can grow on
bread or cheese,
overripe fruit,
vegetables,
grains, and
other foods and
get food by
absorbing
minerals,
sugars, and
water or from
decaying matter
on which they
live.
Candida albicans
is a harmless
yeast that
naturally lives
in every one's
gastrointestinal
tract, mucous
membranes and on
the skin. It
lives there in a
symbiotic world
in a healthy
person's body
but when your
body's eco-
system becomes
unbalanced,
Candida
overgrowth can
occur, thus
allowing it to
attack any organ
or system in
your body,
primarily
targeting the
nerves and
muscles, but can
attack any body
tissue or organ
depending on
your body's
predisposition.
Dietary changes
can help reduce
yeast as well as
can a number of
herbs and
supplements and
can promote a
healthy
digestive tract.
Studies have
shown that herbs
such as garlic,
barberry,
oregano, Oregon
grape and
goldenseal, as
well as the
fatty acid
caprylic acid,
can inhibit the
growth of yeast.
In case there is
evidence of mold
allergy, a
four-day
rotation diet is
recommended to
minimize contact
with allergens.
This is a diet
where foods are
eaten once every
four days and
food families
every two days.
Foods that my
contain mold are
peanuts, beef,
tomatoes, citrus
fruits,
chocolate, soy,
MSG, sulfites
and aspartame [Nutrasweet/Equal].
This diet
restricts foods
that contain
yeast and
gluten, brown
rice, popcorn,
corn products,
honey, smoked,
dried, pickled
and cured foods
such as
buttermilk and
sour cream,
[live cultured
yogurt helps to
replenish your
bacterial
intestinal
bacteria], no
aged cheese of
any kind - [some
cheeses are okay
if milk is not a
problem, e.g.
cottage cheese,
mozzarella,
provolone,
ricotta and
farmer's
cheese]. Avoid
soy sauce,
Tampeh and
tamari,
mushrooms, dried
fruit, alcohol
products,
especially beer
[the darker the
beer, the more
chance of mold]
and wine,
mustard, tomato
products; juice,
sauce paste,
ketchup, are
made from moldy
vegetables,
salad dressings
containing
vinegar.
Avoid eggs,
beef, corn, and
potatoes.
mushrooms, nuts
or nut butter
[except almonds
and almond
butter], fruit
juices, [frozen
fruit juice is
fine], dried or
candied fruit
and coffee,
black tea,
caffeine, cider
and homemade
root beer
[commercial root
beer is fine].
No canned
tomatoes, unless
homemade . Avoid
citric acid,
which is a very
common food
additive; not
derived from
citrus fruit].
Eat leftovers
within 24 hours.
Multi-B Vitamins
- Many contain
either yeast or
mold [Rice hulls
are moldy]. Some
are all right.
Check with
manufacturer.
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".
