Hepatitis and Cirrhosis: A Connection to Moldy Food?

All foods whether of animal or vegetable origin are susceptible to attack by mold. Unfortunately, the growth of mold on and in foods, unless very advanced, is usually impossible to detect with the naked eye. This means that millions of unsuspecting Americans consume mold on a daily basis, leading to a host of life-threatening diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis. It must be remembered that molds produce some of the most dangerous toxins known. Aflatoxin is one of those dangerous substances. Once in the body, it makes its way to the liver where it does damage. A tiny bit of destruction year after year can and does often add up to hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure among other serious health problems.

Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark, Ph.D., N.D., author of "The Cure For All Diseases", discovered during her many years of research that there was never a case of hepatitis or cirrhosis that didn't reveal the presence of Aflatoxin. Such valuable information is hardly ever acknowledged by medical doctors and much less shared with their patients.

Modernization and the quest for convenience have come at a very high price. God made foods to be consumed in their freshest state on a daily basis. In the beginning, there were no supermarkets that stored, "preserved" foods laden with chemicals in a desperate, but useless attempt to keep them fresh. Fruits were picked from trees when they were to be consumed. Fresh vegetables were taken from the garden to be prepared for the day's meal or to be frozen. Grains were eaten in their milky state or stored in granaries in their original state with their protective outer shell guarding their freshness.

So, which foods carry the highest levels of mold and the ominous aflatoxin? Cold cereals, even health food store brands, all tend to be moldy and often contain many other life-threatening chemicals. Before the massive commercialization of the food industry, America wasn't plagued with so many children with "behavioral" problems.

Pasta, unless fresh, contains mold. Nuts, brown rice, dried fruits, real maple syrup, honey, peanut butter, vinegars, especially apple cider vinegars from health food stores, wines, packaged bread, and crackers figure among the foods most contaminated by molds, including Aflatoxin.

What can the average consumer do to help in the fight against the invasion of deadly Aflatoxin? While man resorts to dangerous chemicals in a useless attempt to force foods to stay fresh, nature comes to the rescue.

Many people will be surprised to learn that vitamin C (pure Ascorbic Acid) is far more powerful in the fight against mold than any chemical, and it causes no harm in return. How is it used? When is it used? First, it is extremely important to avoid reliance on vitamin C pills, only pure ascorbic acid should be used. Ascorbic Acid is a white powder and is usually sold only in health food stores. It should not be purchased in any other form.

According to Dr. Clark, foods such as honey, maple syrup, and vinegar should be slightly warmed before adding and thoroughly mixing 1/4 teaspoon of Ascorbic Acid per pint. Rice and pasta are partially de-molded by the heat of cooking. However, vitamin C powder still should be added before or after cooking. It isn't necessary to add so much that the flavor is affected. Packaged breads and crackers can't be de-molded. Only fresh breads from a trusted bakery should be eaten. The bread should not have been stored in plastic as is the case with all breads on the shelves of grocery stores. There's no remedy for crackers. Finally, peanut butter or any other nut butters, should be made fresh, from fresh nuts.

Fortunately, much knowledge has been gained about how and why so many Americans are dying of various cancers and devastating diseases at such young ages. Nevertheless, there remains a multitude of hidden carcinogens, pollutants and contaminates in foods that seem perfectly okay. "The Cure For All Diseases" brings many of these food atrocities to light and offers life-saving advice regarding the options that people have. It should be noted, however, that the author's powerful parasite killing program should NOT include the dangerous herb known as Wormwood.
