Sometimes the devil doesn't tempt us with evil; sometimes he allures us with good, distracts us with obligations, confuses us with compromise, or hinders us with business to keep us from that which is best- service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Remember, the devil always offers his best, before Christ will offer His will for your life.

Healthy Minute- Mold

Mold is something that everyone knows about, and yet, no one knows about. It's the stuff that grows on the walls or floors of water damaged homes. Everyone has seen it, but it's effects on us are not widely known or accepted.
Mold not only grows on walls and floors, and inside showers, but it can also get into our clothes, our furniture, our AC ducts, and other places where the spores then grow and multiply, some growing deep inside the construction, and others dispersing through the air. Live mold and dead mold can cause reactions in those who are exposed to it.
There are a few people who experience the commonly known allergic reactions to mold such as wheezing, sneezing, watery or itchy eyes, runny nose, and coughing. But, mold has other effects on the body that are so subtle and disconnected with the source that they are rarely correctly attributed. Symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, achy joints, cancer, lung disease, mood swings and violent outbursts, chronic sinus infections, and many others can also be associated with a mold infection inside the body.
The good news is that these symptoms can be reversed through proper care. Removing mold from the home and body is a time consuming and constant project, but the rewards are invaluable.
First, remove certain foods that can contain mold, or help it grow. These include alcohol, wheat, rye, peanuts, corn, sugar, and hard cheeses. Incorporate organic vegetables and meats into your diet along with filtered water. Juicing vegetables and fruits may also be added to your menu. Adding garlic, ginger, cayenne pepper, and goldenseal herb along with probiotics can help to fight and kill mold inside the body.
Next, clean your environment. Check your home for mold growth and clean it with a fungicide (bleach, borax, baking soda, and white vinegar are some common ones). Be diligent to check your window seals and areas where water come into your home- bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchen. Consider purchasing an air purifier with an ozone setting- this will create an inhospitable environment for mold to grow in.
