You probably wouldn’t want to eat moldy bread, but moldy cheese will not negatively affect your health. The mold on cheese does not produce a harmful byproduct like some other molds. Avoid moldy foods such as peanuts, rice, grains, corn, dried fruit, and coffee. Eating mold on these foods can be harmful to your liver and can even cause cancer. If you have mold or fungus in or on your body, it’s probably not related to eating mold, but an issue with your microbiome. In a healthy microbiome, you have abundant good bacteria and are typically unaffected by fungus, mold, and yeast. When your gut bacteria are destroyed, fungus and mold can overgrow. Antibiotics, steroids, high levels of iron, and alcohol are detrimental to your gut microbes. Increased pH in the body can also contribute to the overgrowth of fungi and molds. Mold and fungus can downgrade your vitamin D receptors. Without sufficient vitamin D, your immune system can not function properly. Increase vitamin D to penetrate this resistance. Whenever you increase your vitamin D intake, you must also increase magnesium, vitamin K2, and zinc. If you’re deficient in zinc, your thymus will not function properly, inhibiting your immune function. Selenium is also vital to prevent infections. If you think you may be experiencing fungus or mold toxicity, try the following remedies: •Activated charcoal •Bentonite clay •Chlorophyllin •Cruciferous vegetables •NAC •Propolis •MCT oil •Probiotic foods Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

XXX Tech by SOVRYN Dr. Brian Sovryn The crossroads between technology, sensuality, and metaphysics - and the longest running anarchist podcast in the world! Brought to you by Dr. Brian Sovryn. Al-Quran In English Dr. Soha The complete Quran translation in English, Narrated by Dr. Soha. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
