A life without mold illness begins with clean air, clean food, and a supportive network of compassionate, informed people.
If you’re the type of person that promptly adds citrus and a bowl of soup to your meal plan when you feel a cold or flu coming on…Welcome, you’re in the right place! We share your belief that proper foods support healing.
Here you will find useful information and delicious, low amylose, anti-inflammatory meals to enjoy every day. Healing from mold illness like CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) might feel daunting at times; we understand that you want to feel better and restore your health as soon as possible…the great news is YOU CAN! Healing takes some time and effort. Regain control of your health, the comeback starts here!
Because the topic of toxic mold is so broad, our focus will primarily be around the foods & beverages we consume as part of the healing process. It is of the utmost importance that we remain steadfast ingesting clean foods and beverages that are not only free of toxins, but lack substances that cause inflammation. In the resources section, you can find guidance to other frequently asked questions regarding testing for mold illness, doctors and other professionals that specialize in healing from “hard to diagnose” conditions like CIRS, symptoms of mold exposure, and treatment protocols that work. The detailed steps and care options vary based on the individual and the type of exposure- be sure to use the low amylose, anti inflammatory meal plan in conjunction with a mold professional’s guidance. You will also find references to properly implementing an elimination diet. Together, these two actions combined – the clean foods & anti inflammatory food choices – lay the foundation for fast & thorough healing.
Take comfort, no matter where you are right now- if your symptoms exist but you have not received a definite diagnosis, or if CIRS/MARCoNS/mold illness has been confirmed and you have already begun the healing protocol. We are honored to support your recovery and help bring some relief to the inflammation that is at the root of many symptoms. You’re not alone on this journey; many others have experienced the myriad of strange symptoms and have recovered. Here we will collaborate with experts in the field, provide free meal planning guides, and share what’s working.

You are worth the effort, friend. Imagine how much more you can thoroughly enjoy with a body healed from mold illness?!

Fresh foods are available almost everywhere in the United States, and you can grow your own produce on the kitchen counter if you want to. Freshly snipped basil anyone?

A point worthy of mentioning as your journey toward a mold free and health life starts…
Though CIRS and other Environmentally Acquired Illnesses have been professionally documented around the world for years, there is not yet unanimity. A few doctors might not even recognize a problem exists. Calm perseverance may be needed. Sometimes information found on the internet and passed on from health professionals will appear to conflict. One states their opinion and findings- the other will state opposing opinions and findings. What to do? Ask drill down questions. Persist as your own advocate. Be precise documenting self experimentation and personal test results. Listen carefully to understand from more than one perspective. Cross reference sources to discover consistency. That’s what we did when creating this site. And we will continue to update as new patterns emerge regarding foods that support healing from this illness.
