The other part of the issue is the food supply.

So corn, grains, a lot of these different foods are now stored in silos.

And those grains are then fed to the animals and we consume the milk, we consume the meat of these animals, which means we get exposed to this.

started hinting at the possibility that these grains are becoming more moldy animals are getting the mold passing it on to us so we've got that load we've got the toxic load from glyphosate pesticides whatever coming up you've got the building science the drywall and then when you add all of that together all of a sudden you're like oh that's why it's becoming a problem
