Dr Amen online says caffeine is bad for the brain so I was trying to eliminate it to see if it helped with brain fog. However I think I need it for ADHD.
Were those the ones you ordered recently? The ones you mentioned in that pm?
Yes. I ended up ordering small amounts of the individual herbs for this test run, and now I've got orders in for larger quantities.
Coffee has high concentrations of mycotoxins as do many foods. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of mold. I do not have have a mold allergy. Feels more like a poising and haven't felt like this in a long time. I was out of my water damaged building for 2 years. I feel I started declining again energy wise. I am now at my mothers again and flatlined. I really don't know what to think. There is def mold in my building.
I tried mycotoxin free coffee, and there was no change. The odd thing is that tea is much more problematic than coffee, but my reaction is the same as it is to mold - I go brain dead.
