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.

From : https://chriskresser.com/episode-15-dr-paul-jaminet-on-chronic-infections-depression-more/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.
