THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
Tea is quite moldy if purchased in bags. Although I used to
recommend single herb teas (tea mixtures have solvents), I can
now only recommend single herb teas from fresh sources in bulk
(see Sources). This also gets you away from the benzalkonium
chloride and possibly other antiseptics in the bag itself. When
you get them, store them in their original double plastic bag.
These herbs are so fresh, you'll only need half as much to make a
cup of tea. Use a bamboo strainer (non metal). Bake the strainer
occasionally or put through the dishwasher to keep it sterile.
It comes as a surprise that pure, genuine maple syrup has the
deadly aflatoxin and other molds. You can often see mold
yourself, as a thin scum on the surface or an opaque spot on the
inside of the glass after the syrup has stood some time, even in
the refrigerator. Some mold spores were in it to begin with.
Others flew in. After some time they grew enough to be visible.
In my testing, aflatoxin can be cleared with vitamin C but sterig
and others need to be treated with a high temperature as well.
Fortunately, this is easy to do with a syrup. Heat to near boiling
