Bioflavonoids!
Bioflavonoids are the compounds in fruits and vegetables that give them color.
Animal research shows us that every color band in the rainbow protects tissues from mycotoxins, even down to the cellular level. Now that’s powerful!
I recommend that my patients eat 5-7 servings of vegetables every day, and to try to eat the full color palette – green, orange, purple, yellow, red, blue – the whole rainbow. It’s best to keep your fruit intake to a minimum in the beginning of treatment to prevent fungal overgrowth (but if you’re having a sweet craving, fruit is better than all-out sugar.)
In my experience, getting sufficient bioflavonoids has been more instrumental in reducing mold symptoms than binders. For those who aren’t so great about getting all 7 servings in their diet, I recommend a mixed bioflavonoid supplement, like Color Guard, to fill in the cracks. But remember nothing replaces real food.
