Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 My experience is telling me that it's not necessarily just what's coming out of the vent, but perhaps the electrical charge of the computer activates the mycotoxins, to the point that I react to the computer in general.

My insistence that I have been operating with a different perspective that has given me a better level of recovery has resulted in assertions of unacceptible egotism. I would appreciate it if anyone can examine my old messages and give me an example of this. From my point of view, I have only been offering information from the best sources available - which has often been " challenging " and contrary to conventional concepts. - Quote

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 -Please - I only hope that years down the line I am accused of the same thing, as I try and explain things to sick people on the group- your info has been extremely usefull to me, if I had found the group before I moved into my rental, I could have saved myself allot of illness. And you are the only person who gave me hope of recovering my belongings and art work. The only thing we have to offer people here is what has worked for us, and what we have heard from experts. From deep inside the well of despair- those outside might seem to be crowing- but because we cannot go and phisically help each person- what can we do but talk- talk- and say the same things over and over- without the rays of hope you gave me last year- I would surely be in a dark place. Instead I am healthier than i have been in 14 years -- In , " erikmoldwarrior " <erikmoldwarrior@...> wrote: > > " julesblucky " wrote: > > > > My experience is telling me that it's not necessarily just what's > > coming out of the vent, but perhaps the electrical charge of the > > computer activates the mycotoxins, to the point that I react to the > computer in general.
