This information comes not just from what I've seen in 20 years of working in the mold and Lyme and chronic illness space, but on my podcast, I interviewed an expert from UCLA who did a genetic analysis and showed just comprehensively that although the symptoms overlap 90%, 90% of the time it's mold, not Lyme.

So 10% of the time it could be just Lyme.

In which case, go down the Lyme path.

By the way, I did take antibiotics for a year to try and cure the Lyme, but you can't get rid of Lyme if there's mold on board.

So what does mold make?

Mold itself, when you're breathing it or getting it on your skin, it is an immune system irritant.

It can cause allergies.

Just basically dead mold will do that.

Mold also makes mycotoxins.

These are toxins separate from the mold itself.

And when you're talking about something like coffee, the mold is long dead.

It's been roasted and brewed, but the toxin is heat stable.

And that's why...

Danger Coffee says mold right on the label.

Some other brands I might have been associated with in the past don't say mold on their label anymore.

Yeah.

In other words, the coffee is lab tested for mold.

Wow.

And I think it's really important because along this journey, as I was figuring things out, I gave up coffee for five years.

Because one thing that mold does is it causes your immune system to go into almost like a fight or flight response when you're re-exposed.
