Vegan Hydrated for Toxic Mold Detox

Angela Kneale is a survivor of Toxic Mold aka Mycotoxin poisoning. What is contained in this page and blog is my personal experiences in living with and reducing symptoms of the Toxic mold strains in MY body and in my belongings.

While on my Vegan Toxic Mold Detox, I still had to hydrate properly.
Another thing that I learned was that my hydration level as a vegan is naturally higher (up to 15% higher) than an omnivore or vegetarian the same size. Though, this is a good thing, the Toxic Mold Detox I did required me to drink more water and alkaline minerals drink than normal to balance to Alkaline.

So, for example;- my 16oz Americano in the morning needed to be balanced with 2x16oz of H20.
That's 2x the water to 1 drink of ANYTHING that isn't water or alkaline. The list of acidic drinks is off the chart;- Coffees, teas, soda, juices, beer, smoothies, etc. So, I scaled my coffee intake to 1 coffee drink. I started having doppio machiattos just because the volume of acid was less around 4oz.
It is pretty much everything except clean purified water and the mineral energy drink I had added to my diet by April/May of 2014. Still having  hot or cold lemon water was O.K.


The other thing really important piece I added to my H20 intake was alot of water. Just water.
I weighed in around 118lbs and so 118/2= 59oz of water I needed to drink (mandatory) each day.
This was hard for me to do at first. Finally I just got used to purchasing 2-3 1.5L bottles of water to drink for the entire day. And, I'd get an extra 32oz to make up for the coffee I drank.

The formula is body weight divided by 2 equals number of ounces of water to drink daily.

Yes, this sounds ludicrous. But, I did it while taking alot of digestive enzymes throughout the day (never exceeding 5-6 enzyme caps at once). And, within 3-5 mos. my blood looked cleaner at a microscopic level to the point where I was encouraged to go for picture perfect blood.

Water H20 and Vegan Toxic Mold Detox

I got a reminder of the importance water has in our daily lives yesterday. A friend recently reached out because of flooding in their living space. And, in conversation, I wonder if anyone really processes the crippling effect of toxic mold that can lead to death.

I needed to adopt a protocol for where I'd get my water.

These were the rules I had about water, especially here in Hawaii.

1. Bottled water that is purified 
2. A water filter on the personal water bottle
3. Do not drink anything from any restaurant's soda hose.
4. I do not drink anything  Local with a blue cap on it as I got a sediment contaminated bottle of Hawaii sourced water.

Water. We do take it for granted. 

When I was told that toxic mold was in my bloodstream without candida (I've been very vegan for most of 30 some years), they told me that it probably entered through a water source. Although alkaline, water is a carrier for mold (yes the Acid Rain lightbulb should go off in your head and do the math if you can). I decided to alkalize more with minerals (almost too much and not on any one's advice) because of this fact to try and drop my blood PH.  I also did it because I felt better from the mold symptoms. I alkalize heavily when I have times where I may be more likely to be contaminated with the toxic mold spores. 

So, in the mold stricken environment look around;- 

1. Shower heads can be contaminated with toxic mold

2. Ice box systems at home can be contaminated with toxic mold

3. Restaurant Ice can be contaminated with toxic mold (especially in Hawaii) - new or old.

4. Water drippings off awnings

5. Local grown fruit definitely harbors a variety of mold.

6. Mold in random spots like the Soap container at the gym, mold & dust in vents above shower stalls

In any case, during this time and having moved out immediately;- I showered at places that seemed mold free. And, the interesting learning part I experienced was an eye opener. There were several Hawaii homeowners who shower at the gym and bring a barrage of products. They sometimes have apologized (I take shorter civilian showers) for hogging the area because they have a bathroom they can't use at home. It's not just one or two people, the numbers are much higher. Homeowners who have neglected Water damage, tile damage, or plumbing issues that signal MOLD issue to me.

Purchasing water for drinking (I didn't do much of any cooking during the Detox) and can be a hefty bill. So, there are water filtration systems like LifeStraw that are proven to filter out the most possible.

  

Vegan in Toxic Mold Detox

Vegan Will power, the is one valuable asset that I learned to completely appreciate. Being vegan with toxic mold required me to push way beyond any no compromise boundaries that I ever had in my activist days and amped up to a whole new level. My diet didn't have a name though so I still say I'm vegan. My diet was/is extremely alkaline + ketogenic style;- mine toxic mold intruders left multiple trainwrecks in traffic of dead blood cells clumping in my bloodstream. It was an ugly picture to look at.

VEGAN ALKALINE & KETOGENIC for Mold Detox means:

No Fruits except avocados & olives.
Zero Grains, not even organic and mold free rice pasta quinoa chia . -
Zero  GMO -- not to chance it even eating tofu or grain
Maintain Alkaline Balance -
      -Body weight divided by 2 = number of ounces of water to drink each day.
- Alkalize with minerals throughout the day. Sip on a premade bottle of mineral supplemented water with chlorophyllin= broken down chlorophyll

One thing I learned when attempting to fight the mold;- that essential oils don't work. I rarely mention brand names since my other (more successful) blog was under attack by a large MLM essential oils company during my Toxic mold detox.It's extremely dangerous if there are toxic mold strains rooting in your living space while you pamper them by cleaning with acidic essential oils. The prior tenants used bleach & chemicals to clean, and told me the mold spots kept returning. Not only does bleach equip the mold molecules to include a chlorine gas element that can cause brain tumors & cancer, But bleach actually promotes mold growth of some strains. I tried to clean bathroom ceiling mold with grapefruit essential oil on it and it still returned. I later learned that Mold likes acidic environments. 

The list of surface cleaners uSed to kill different mold strains(there are dozens of strains of mold) with;- 

• Hydrogen Peroxide
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Concrobium
• Melaleuca Company's Sol-U-Guard & Sol-U-Mel- laundry detergent 
• Ammonia

Cleaning products in the closet, moving on to my diet changes.

Many mold survival nutrition sites say they don't recommend doing a vegan toxic mold detox diet. I don't condone or condem what any vegan puts in their mouths; but I had a seriously supportive dietary babysitters during this process. I am grateful for their support. I had the most difficult time the first month giving up my 1 packet of oatmeal for breakfast. But, when I ridded my diet of the grain in entirety, I began to feel better. Below, was the general guidelines for a protocol I began to follow. Though I did not know what ketogenic was when i started, the carbohydrate intake I had was lowered as much as possible to below 50g carbs. I had many days of eating about 1 lb of  organic salad for the day. That was my solid food and I mostly used the salad in conjunction with my protein and enzymes. I took alot of digestive enzymes to assist in breaking down the mold. I took digestive enzymes any time food or nourishment entered my body. And, if I felt particularly tired (mold symptoms) as the trainwreck of dead blood cells travelled through my bloodstream;- I took more enzymes (up to 5-6 at a time). That is, I was eating more enzymes than olive pieces on my salad.

On this diet, I learned to eliminate lettuce. Though the leafy greens are nice;- they provide little nutrition for the carbs in them. The other thing hard to learn is to eliminate eating vinegar as it's in many, many sauce's & dressings. Vinegar isn't high enough on the alkaline side of foods when they are digested. Lemon juice however, become alkaline in the body when digested.

This is only 1 salad for the entire day whether eaten in one sitting or broken up into several smaller meals.
My 1/2 (half) pound morning/afternoon detox salad: bed of sunflower sprouts topped with shredded beets, a little shredded carrots, 2 tiny roma cherry tomato, a level tbsp of black olives, and 2 roasted cubes (1/8) of an organic baked potato, with avocado topped with a tbsp pumpkin or sunflower seeds, nutritional yeast flakes, and a spritz or two of organic olive oil. Some days I would add a slice of cucumber or two. Or, opt for a tbsp or two tbsp of premade veganaise laden cabbage salad.

Also, for the alkaline portion;- not drinking alkaline water, but drinking mineralized water with chlorophyllins is best for my body to alkalize. Alkaline water itself can cause digestive tract issues since there is nothing for the body to actually digest in it. Adding minerals and chlorphyll  to water with or without lemon juice is a good substitute to expensive, better tasting alkaline mineral energy drink mixes.

Still working on this site so I'll update till finished.
Vegan Meal Plan:

Ketogenic Vegan with Night time carb load

My disclaimer is that this is about what I have done to be a Ketogenic Vegan for the past 2 years. I'm not saying it is good or great. Nor did I even know about Ketogenic diets until year 2 and 3mos.
My Ketogenic Vegan diet stemmed out of my fighting toxic mold invaders for my ability to walk, think, and breathe. That fight meant starving the pervasive mold and not giving up my vegan diet and personal ethics. Starving the mold meant not feeding it any type of sugar. Any type of sugar meant anything that I eat that is turned into sugar. Apparently, they haven't made carbs that remain dormant until they are needed to turn into sugar, so i took the practical option. I refrained from eating almost all carbohydrates. Or, I at least kept my carb intake below 50g a day until I was free from mold symptoms.

Sadly, even after over 1.5 years battling Hawaii's toxic mold, the mold is still in my body at least enough that I cannot resume regular consumption of carbohydrates. I experience symptoms of Toxic mold after 6 weeks of moderate carbohydrate consumption. However, since I live in a tropical climate with rainforests, it is safe to say that I could be revisited by different instances of Toxic Mold spore invaders.

So, after the initial battles eliminating ALL, and I mean ALL major sources of carbs, I was able to get better. In hindsight, it started after 3 weeks of moving into a place in Pauoa Valley on the outskirts of Honolulu City. I started having extreme allergic reactions to chemical air freshners that my housemates kept in  the house. I thought I needed a cleanse so I opted for colonics that I heard  other women discuss at work (their friends tried) for improving skin & allergies. I went 2x and the allergies subsided and the air fresheners were unplugged. Over 7 months later my symptoms started with extreme lethargy and being winded after going up 1 step. The visible symptom was my back having an unrelenting raised rash all over it.  And, it started with  included brain fog.
I went to a homeopath and World renowned nutritionist in Honolulu for dietary advice. And, I was shocked with what she suggested. But, I did it like my life depended on it and I got better in 3 mos.

I remained on Grain-free, Fruit-free Vegan diet because my attempts at eating carbs 2 years ago lead me to sickness after the holiday parties. No more fruit juice, no more bread, no more noodles/pasta, & no more rice. Not even in Protein Powder. We are talking about omitting the things human culture is built on till today, reluctantly. 

Until I heard a speech about the Ketogenic Diet from a professional, I was unwilling to relinquish (even to my prior nutritionist), my carb loading after work and before sleep. This I started adding on because I simply would collapse after work. I focused so hard to make it through my shift on low calories that I couldn't even drive home. I would fall asleep in my car outside work, then outside my residence. I would start falling asleep driving half-way there, pull over and nap for about 3 hrs to continue. So, my carb loading after work was somewhere around 100grams (from Taco Bell) with a cup of coffee that had a packet of sugar and a sploosh of non-dairy creamer. One of my customers somehow got a burrito for me one day with nothing but lettuce and their avocado/ guacamole sauce. Today, In a drive thru jam I  try ordering the 7 layer burrito without rice, cheese, sourcream & add a side of guacamole. I read on someone else's site that that burrito is vegan without the cheese / sourcream. Though, not all of these burritos are 100% if you're vegan and you know what I mean...so be careful every bite. I've had to throw some away.
Sometimes, it would be a trip to 7-11 and picking up a 20g Protein Cliff bar with a coffee.

Secret revealed. My night time carb load, stay in ketosis during the day. Still vegan, to the best of my knowledge.

Now, you might ask why the Burrito and not the Cliff bar? 
I eat the Burrito, not because I'm enthralled with the fast food magic flavor of Taco Hell. I eat it because the presence of vegetable matter helps to process the proteins better. I've also learned to be more efficient on the diet. Without fresh greens, it is difficult for my body to process protein alone.


In the Superior Athlete BG's presentation he carb loads up to 200g and maintaining ketosis during the day.  I'm not an athlete like that, nor do I claim to be, nor do I work out, nor did I run the Penn Relay's like my Brother did (RIP bro), nor am I an Olympic Gymnast from Japan like my mother was before her accident. I am me, a lazy Classical PIANIST who sold her last piano on the beach to some surfers and wound up with an old battered used Brewer board that people tell me not to use.


So, now that i've bored the miniscule audience I might have to death;- Here are my new dietary adjustments as a Ketogenic Vegan coming out of the rainforest,
and the proper order for me? (would love to ask) before adding more into my diet. This is after listening to Athlete BG's lecture

Breakfast & Lunch
1. wakeup- a bottle carbonated sparkling lemon flavored mineral water take nootropics
wait 15-20 min
2. 5g Creatine
wait 5-10 min
3. 2 vegetarian digestive enzyme caplets
4. Coffee powered MCT oil (1 tbs) + Vega Sport Performance Shake
5. piece of celery, green juice, or veggie breakfast salad (1/2lb veggies) or Green2o

Then repeat above for each meal.
I weigh 116ish so, I drink about 3 liters of water a day.

• I take digestive enzymes for each protein shake
• Days I feel super sluggish after carb loading on something, I take up to 5 enzyme caplets for the day. 
• 2-3 TBS MCT oil works best in my stomach on the Heavenly Salad. MCT oil Doesn't work well with the Mineral drink. It's o.k. in Coffee (though CBD oil is preferred, but rare)
• I take digestive enzymes when I can before my nighttime carb load that happens 3x a week.
• I turn my gallon of H20 into a gallon of Green2o with 3 stix = 3-6lbs of veggies minerals, I consume 1 gallon of this appx every 24 hrs. Sometimes, less on the regular h20 sometimes more. depends on how hot it is and how active I am through the day. Or, if i'm just doing extra cleansing. 

Do I drink Alcohol?

I drink alcohol. Yes. However, it's not a daily pride item. 

I take shots, not fruity tropical drinks. In fact mimosas give me rashes. 

• If I have a shot of liquor, I have a back of Clear bubbly Club Soda (lemon or lime added)
• Once in a while I've had a beer. And, it is just A single beer. 
• I like vodka martini's Dirty occasionally. 

That's about it.  
If someone wants to impersonate me and live like this full time, BE MY GUEST!!! good luck!

Raw water hits Haleiwa

Post Tropical storm Darby, just before noon Hawaii Time. 2 dead fish were being churned in a 3sq. Ft part of the water at the shore. Certain more marine life perished, Raw water reaches the North Shore beaches after lifeguards warned beach goers to get out of the water if they have any open wounds. 

One snorkeler was seen at the brown edge of the raw water face down in a full wetsuit.

Tsunami - Warm Climate

Surviving in a tsunami disaster zone after a tsunami;- doesn't necesarily mean you will want to follow general rules of camping. I went to Thailand 2004 to do civilian re-con of business partnerships after .

I did not bring a tent, I was able to rent one when we got to an encampment. This is what I used to survive and not contract Malaria #1 threat due to pooled water and moderate summer climate.

TSUNAMI DISASTER - CIVILIAN RE-CON PACK 1 Month. 
1. tiny bottle of Deet - used 1x on the trip and did not reapply;- due to info that the mosquito count was out of control with dead bodies, flooding, and people running for the mountains. Most areas were quarantined by the time we arrived at BKK. My travel partner for 4 days went all natural and slept in a tent. He had contracted Malaria by the 3rd day;- 1st night out of the city he had over 150 bites on him as the tent body heat attracted the mosquitoes that snuck in through the tent fabrics.
2. 7 yards heavy duty mosquito netting  - wrapped myself in it to go to sleep in the open on the ground. I probably looked like a dead body.
3. Camp mat for sleeping
4. 1 med sized internal frame Backpack 
5. Katydyn Kayak water bottle - I retrieved water from a natural stream. My hiking partner scolded me and then had an eye opener as the Government was siphoning water to water trucks just a terrace above us at the waterfall. They don't even treat the water there, so my personal filtration was better.
6. Chlorine- tiny bottle of POTABLE Water drops (chlorinated)- i put about 5-9 drops in each 50+gal barrel and it had people quietly running to the water barrels.
7. EO Frankinsence - my natural bug deterrent/ first aid kit 
8. Patagonia Atom sack - keep critical items on me with a day or 2 of Cliff Bars & passport
9. Light stick- battery powered - less noticible than a flashligh & provided safety while walking along roads at night. Enabled me to hitch rides for me and my travel companions in the dark.
10. Clothes lightweight & easy to wash and hang dry by hand. Cotton clothes had to be left behind so I brought my volunteer t-shirts ( I had a huge XXL duffel of them and packed as many as I could) Cotton is more pourous and carry more organisms, and needs detergent to be cleaned. Synthetics are better to wash in natural non-detergent soaps as they don't break down the oils;- also Synthetic clothes dry faster.

2004 Survival FOOD:
I ate grain back then & my pack was identical to someone else randomly going another direction at the airport. Our Cliff bars were stored in the same place, so I thought TSA got aggravating enough to swap out the flavors I liked for flavors I did not care for.
1. a case of Cliff Bars
2. packets of steel cut oatmeal (in flavors)
The encampment I stayed at for most of a month allowed campers to fish on their own and bring it back to the kitchen. I am vegan & allergic to shellfish;- so I ate my oatmeal each morning with a fresh banana smoothie. I had 1 meal of mostly rice, and 1 large bowl of coconut/vegetable soup each day. I actually felt great. There was somone on a bicycle who started to stop by with ziploc bags full of veggies, fish, cooked meats for sale. I was partial to the fresh peanuts for protein. We also got some fresh coconut milk and coconut, as well as using a moped for a day;- trying to get ketchup (which had become scarce). Liquor & Coffee was the easiest to obtain aka - least desirable.

  

Bugging out & H20

Happy to see that a company (Swedish?) is pro Child In Africa, or anywhere on the globe. I received some LifeStraw filters and am going to try them. I do want to order a seed bucket and plant them in Hawaii to see how hearty the seeds are. Appx $62. 

The last garden I planted in 12a microclimate was exposed to toxic mold and the non-heirloom seeds didn't yield anything edible. The non-heirloom was a deformed and sickly generation miles away from the original plant generation.

My Tropical apartment nightmare #3

So again, several Rental options came my way. Some too far away for commute, some close. 

So, out of concern for me a member of a spiritual group I attend offered me a space rental for $200 for rest of the month. 

The building the studio is in is not up to modern day code, lacking working fixtures, lots of wood rot on sides and stairs and railing. Tons of visible mold growing on stairs and building (uncertain of attic space) and  No A/C.  Lacking a cable connection? And seemingly infested with cockroaches & rats that come and go in seasons as it was explained to me. $700/mo is a good deal to live close to downtown Honolulu. 

They painted the interior place and put in filtered water except for the kitchen. 

The place feels haunted, creepy to me. 

I'm a different person who likes clean bright modernity and knowing that my space isn't like a 1700's Black Plague and fire scene waiting to happen. 

If you see me crashed out bugging out in a beach park sometime soon;- don't be suprised. Not that I'm not appreciative to have a roof over my head in Hawaii after I kick down some rent. 

I'd just rather buy bottled water, catch a good night rest at a modern hotel, and know my housemate doesn't have boyfriend issues that can be further drama. Aside from our differences in liking rustic space with tropical trees that rats can use easily for roof access.

My revised dietary supplement regimen

K*new supplements in past 2 years as of May 2016- due to issue with nutritionist. 

Joints, skin, muscles

Having issues adding enough healthy calories for workouts.

Money & Water is Lost in Translation - Export-Import

Still baffled as to WHY China & Japan buy USA debt. Here's an example below, of 1 item.

I don't remember if I blogged on my rant about how Network Marketing and Other products are creating a huge rift in the Global Financial Schema.
It's all Money that is Lost in Translation.

THE FINANCIAL BLACK HOLE CAUSED
FOOD from street vendors in 3rd world nations, to the Capitol's of the 1st World's upper echelon;-
Food packaging and labelling, as well as marketing and educational PR to prompt "Euro-Centric" Americans to participate.

IE: A Package of Black Sesame seed crackers that a "progressive" person (environmentally conscious too) purchases at their local Cooperative market or "Health Food" store.

In USA- AMERICAN STYLE                                     In Asia - ASIAN STYLE
1. Is a round flat wafer                                            1. Usually a small thick rectangular noodle cracker
2. Limited Count in a Thin Plastic holder               2. No cracker count, is sold by weight
3. Has an additional Thin Plastic cover                   3. In a plastic bag (from bulk or pre-weighted).
4. Printed in English explains the Cracker              4. Has list of ingredients (somewhere).
5. Retails @ $5.69USD/ 24 crackers                       5. Can purchase for <$1 for 16oz in 3rd world



In 1999 when I worked at a National Merchandising Firm HQ out of college;- I was told that the Big Block Chain Stores were already open to set design for LESS PACKAGING in their stores. They had asked me to get into the Floor Planning for purchase control;- trying to integrate what they defined as more Ecological. Since I just had 3 years of working on Water related environmental issues;- I FAILED TO SEE HOW SELLING MORE SOAP & DETERGENT & HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS benefits the planet. That goes with MAKEUP that needs SOAP & CLEANSERS that goes in the water for removal. In Fact, I couldn't even justify doing a floor plan purchase scheme for a 6BILLION person world population to purchase HAIR COLORING/ DYE that goes in the water supply.
To date;- I'm still failing to see the change in Big Block Stores;- that includes tossing tubes of plastic containers in bins on the walls of some of the stores. Selling more containers of water contaminants on Palates, in Bulk.
