If avoidance is the first line of defense against toxic mold then altering our diet has to be close behind. I take this from Hippocrates, who linked our health to the air we breathe and the food we eat. Known as the father of medicine, Hippocrates was the first to introduce the idea that illness had a physical and rational explanation. A far cry from the belief of his day that illness was the result of evil spirits. He went so far as to say,

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."

Before our exposure to toxic mold I easily succumbed to a world of fast food and sugar. Our pantry was full of Pop-Tarts and Fruit Loops. Our diet was our destiny, or so it seemed.

One of the biggest parts of our regimen includes the use of a nebulizer and nasal spray containing glutathione.

Glutathione or GSH is a natural substance produced in human cells. It contains three amino acids. (L-glutamate, L-cysteine, and glycine). In healthy bodies, GSH is found in high concentrations in the respiratory tract. What does GSH do? Detoxifies. Decreases damage from inhaled toxins. In addition, GSH repairs our DNA (mycotoxins alter the DNA), contributes to protein synthesis, transports amino acids, metabolizes toxins and carcinogens, activates critical enzymes, and prevents oxidative cell damage.
