Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am a lousy editor. I have a book on Amazon I have published on oxalates. I tried to summarize things to help guide people so they could overcome issues with oxalates. It is my only source of income presently. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMJFMQKF
We need to stop blaming mold oxalates and other things. People should be asking themselves why did these things not bother people in the past? I am old enough to remember when nothing bothered me mold , oxalates or anything. In the 90s that changed. I knew something was wrong but I did not know what. There is oxalates in all our food , the only foods that could create problems are the super high oxalate ones like spinach if you ate it every day. The ones causing the health problems (pharmaceutical , biotech and health industry) have to love that people are turning to them for answers when they are the very ones causing all the chronic illness. To me that would be like a dog who has an abusive owner turning to the owner to try and avoid the abuse.
The younger ones are used to things making them ill. They most likely believe it is normal and have been taught to brush it off. Many of us remember when food energized you and you felt good after eating. In the 90s that all changed they started using toxins in our foods like transfat , GMOs with their BT Toxins, and the farm chemicals used on them. Most additives in food have not been properly tested for safety and they are finding they dramatically effect the health of the gut and many can cause autoimmunity. Mold illness, food allergy and sensitivities, autoimmunity all these are being blamed on genetics. These things were rare when was young.
Now add the increase in vaccinations which are loaded with excitotoxins that stay in the body causing permanent damage that they blame on genetics. They are known to cause food intolerance and autoimmunity.
Now add pharmaceutical medications and medical errors to that and you can see why chronic illness has become epidemic. Most pharmaceuticals if taken long enough can cause permanent damage to the body and most of them alter the gut in one way or another.
We are sensitive to oxalates now because all the things mentioned above damage our guts and can lead to autoimmunity. Our guts become more porous letting oxalates enter our blood stream, our oxalate degrading gut bacteria get destroyed by the toxins farther adding to the problems. Then the toxins create metabolic issues that can cause the body to create endogenous oxalates. This sets a lot of negative feedback loops into place that must be broken. Everyone is viewing oxalates as a problem. The only time they are a problem when healthy is when you consume more then the mechanism in place in your body can handle. For example rhubarb leaves are toxic because the oxalate levels are higher than what even a healthy body can handle. We need to restore function and health to the mechanisms in our bodies that protect us from those things. Oxalates are in almost all food it cannot be avoided. Some hybrid plants have been produced to increase oxalate content because it helps deter pest so some food is to blame but learn to identify which ones have been hybrid to produce increased amounts of oxalates and avoid those.
All this also applies to mold and mold illness. I knew people who lived in extremely moldy environments when I was younger. Mold illness is a smoke screen for what the real problems is. It is chemical injury from our food , vaccines and modern medicine with the pharmaceuticals. They have to love that people get caught up on the hamster wheels to the point they get blinded to what the real problem is.
You cannot heal until you address what is causing you to be sensitive to things in the first place. I didn’t mention Lyme but Lyme and other tick born illness require the body to be in a systemic state of inflammation to cause infection. So the title could have said It is not the mold or Lyme. I recovered from my Lyme when I stopped consuming foods that cause systemic inflammation and stayed away from pharmaceutical products that caused systemic inflammation.
