Hello,
I have tested positive for Ochratoxin A, and I wanted to get started on a mold avoidance lifestyle, starting by my diet. I found some conflicting information so far.
Dr Myhill suggests a Paleo-Ketogenic (PK) diet (https://www.drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Chr..._cause_of_disease:_the_toxicity_of_mycotoxins).
Just as a standard Ketogenic diet, you need to get into Ketosis (https://drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/My_book...leo-ketogenic_and_get_the_best_of_both_worlds).
But I also found out that fungi do as well on Ketones as they do on Glucose

It is not unheard of candida breakouts while on a Keto diet.
I was wondering then what is the importance of the PK diet regarding mold avoidance? Do any of you follow it? I bet Dr Myhill has an explanation, but I could not find it in that guide.

So pathogens that have mitochondria like fungi and protozoa can metabolize ketones for energy. Bacteria and viruses can’t, and so if you go on a ketogenic diet you’ll starve bacteria and viruses but you’ll feed fungi and protozoa.
