Water H20 and Vegan 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. This is my personal journal as many have asked me questions about how I was able to get healthy from Mold Mycotoxin poisoning experiences. Also, I have a resurrection gene. 8/28/2016
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:

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.

Shellfish & Hawaii's Shopping Malls

Honolulu, Hawaii has a monstorous addition to the original mall near Ala Moana Beach park.
I took a few walks through the Mall. And, aside from most mainlander USA folk scoffing at Adults "hanging out at the Mall" (an otherwise High School teen behavior);- I also don't cruise at the Mall too often.

My acute allergy to shellfish and the molecular pollutants from Fried shellfish make me steer away from areas that are adjacent to Shrimp, Crab, & Lobster restaurants. That includes the Old portion of the Alamoana Blvd. mall and a popular bar that hosts some live music. None of the restaurants keep the allergens contained.  The molecular drift from a nearby tempura restaurant,  caused my respiratory system to become severly irritated and begin shut down while standing over 25 feet away. The door to the tempura place was also shut while I was reading the Directory/Map of the new Wing.

Also, people generally cause uproar if i tell them not to grab me, or kiss me on the cheek, or touch me;- especially if i know they have been out dining. The Shellfish contaminant causes rise to my skin rash outbreak for weeks. The people here really need a lesson in keeping their hands to themselves and are introduced to a "stranger" such as yours truly when out & about. 

All personal security aside;- its all not secure for me.

ACV - Best Car Freshner ever

Apple Cider vinegar (ACV)bottle of Bragg's;- It opened in my car and soaked in the passenger carpet & seat. OMG!
It stunk so bad for 2 days.
HOWEVER, the 3rd day after it all evaporated.
My car didn't have any damp moldy smell from tropical rain, there were no cockroaches.
I think it killed everything and smelled new and fresh.
Good thing my interior is a light color & Cloth!

Now, I keep a spray bottle of
Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with a couple teaspoons of ACV & water
and a few drops of wintergreen to freshen my cloth car interior.

Works great.
