I react to the slightest hint of mold, a whiff, practically an imagined presence of mold and for sure in actuality mold. When one has mold illness the nervous system can become so reactive in order to warn itself of any possible danger even before that perceived danger has had any time to do damage. It’s like “We know that mold will screw you up big time so anything that we perceive as being a threat we’ll let you know BEFORE the thing actually has time to do damage.” That’s why someone with a reactive nervous system post mold illness can have brain fog before it’s actually possible for the mold to do damage to the body. And of course if there IS mold well, that’s no bueno, duh. So needless to say I need less mold in my life, preferably no mold thank you.
But I like my coffee and coffee is often highly contaminated by mold. I would frequently get brain fog after drinking coffee in the morning, a couple times even horrible migraines. Dave Asprey the developer of Bulletproof survived toxic mold from a flooding of his house. His story is very compelling and can be found here: https://blog.bulletproof.com/my-flood-story-and-what-to-do-about-mold/. Because of his experience he developed a line of coffee that is sourced to be the least moldy possible and is tested for mycotoxins. Frankly I’m not sure if any coffee will be 100% mold free even from what Asprey describes on his website , but this coffee is amazing. It feels so clean. I would highly recommend it! Not ingesting mold (or as much) every day is a big deal. Thank you Dave Asprey for this gift!
Ultimately I would like to try to give up coffee because I do notice that if I drink too much I do start reacting to it. I’m not sure if that is from mycotoxins or just what caffeine does to me. Usually I have no problems with the first two morning cups, but if I overload in the afternoon I can get fuzzy brain, decreased circulation, feel stressed, muscles tight etc. But coffee is a hard drug to lick and on an all beef diet it helps me hang on at social gatherings. So for now Bulletproof brand coffee is the best choice I’ve found.
What has been your experience with coffee? I know a lot of Carnivores recommend abstaining, thoughts?
