Some ponderings on mold avoidance theory, ozone, and other unproven stuff…

This is a chart demonstrating “hormesis, which is similar to homeopathy. That is, that a little bit of something bad can cause a beneficial response

Homeopathy says that if you give the body a little bit of poison, it will overreact and deal with the poison but ALSO deal with other real problems in the body. Making homeopathy beneficial. Hormesis is a similar concept, as shown in the above image.

For some reason, when I get ten pass ozone in Santa Fe, it isn’t NEARLY as beneficial to me as it is when I get it in So Cal. Now, of course, So Cal is sea level, and the ozone expert Dr. Rowen has said that ten pass works better at sea level. Also, I get some ocean air in So Cal, and this has been known to help moldies.

But I sort of wonder if something else might be going on too.

That is, that the toxins in so cal are kind of homeopathic to me. In that they kind of make my body freak out and go into hard-core detox mode. And then when I get back to New Mexico, where it is clear, my body not only detoxes the toxins from So Cal, but also goes DEEPER, and detoxes even more toxins in a healing sort of way. I really do think there is some validity to this theory, though I’m not positive.

And also, I don’t think it would work without the ozone. Meaning that if I just went to so cal and came back to NM, I don’t think that would do the trick. Ozone itself seems to kick things into high gear, and without the ozone, I think the toxins would just be flat-out damaging.

I am not saying that this post or theory is valid or credible. I am just proposing it as a theory. Because no matter what I try, the thing that always seems to be the most healing, is to take trips to So Cal for ozone and then immediately aftewwards, return to NM. It just doesn’t matter if I like it or not, that’s just how it works. And if any of those events are not done in the proper order, it just doesn’t work as well. That’s just a fact. Like, if I stay in NM to get the ozone, or, if I stay in So Cal after getting the ozone.

It just has to be 1) going to So Cal and getting ozone and then 2) going back to NM. That’s just the facts of the case. So I am trying to figure out why.

It could also be that the elevation of NM benefits me somehow, after the So Cal ozone. Because my very first ozone trip to So Cal was followed immediatly by returning to Tahoe, at 6,200 feet. And even though Tahoe is not a clear location, I STILL noticed some of this kind of benefit.

In any case, there is SOMETHING important about this. I’m not quite sure what it is yet, but I have experimented with it enough to know that my observations are quite accurate, and that people are not going to be able to squeeze these observations into some other “box” of their liking. It is what it is, and now I just need to figure out WHY it is this way.

It is just weird that I can go get the ten pass ozone in Santa fe, and I do know it is working because I get characteristic “post ozone” signs and symptoms, but that it doesn’t at all help me like going to So Cal for ozone and then going back to New Mexico. There is just no comparison AT ALL. It is just a TOTALLY different beast. The Santa Fe ozone DOES help me a little bit, but seemingly about 10% as much as the So Cal ozone.

I have to wonder if maybe some of this is happening with other folks, who maybe don’t get ozone but who do go “in and out” of bad zones. Could the “small, homeopathic bad hits” be contributing to spurring people on toward deeper detox? I have no idea; I am not saying this is a fact. This post is all about speculation and theory.

One mold avoider in particular, who I will call “E,” is very far along and mostly recovered and she has said that “small” mold hits seem to be beneficial to her in some ways.

Of course, maybe this all is just the pathogens controlling my mind and wanting to go back to toxins to be fed. That is possible too.
