Hi ph, I'm not suggesting that anyone

gradually *increase* their exposure to mold!

However it IS well known, not an unknown, that

too clean all the time, lowers your resistance to

disease, not improves it, but small amounts, but

certainly not *increasing* amounts, does help to

preserve a health immune system. I'm not

encouraging anyone to deliberately expose

themselves to toxic mold or dirt either. I'm

just saying for *myself*, I think now spending

22-23 away from home, the one hour there is not

bad (I also wear a N95 mask and carbon filter)

but my clothes do get exposed and hair and

skin,etc, but there must be a tremendous

difference to my system to be away 22-23 hours a

day, where the last 15 years I there 22-24 hours

a day, so it should make a tremendous positive

difference to my body. I do remove my clothes

and put them in laundry bag when I get to hotel.

I *KNOW* I'm walking into my room wearing them

but I am not convinced that this type of ultra

avoidance works out well or is necessary and in

fact may not be desireable long term. My house

is not the only toxic place in the world. I've

been looking at places to live and to me 90% of

them smell musty, so I have to learn to get along

with a little bit of mold and dirt, unless I want

to spend the rest of my life like a rolling

stone.

'BBW',

This is the UTTERLY FLAWED 'hormesis' theory that is currently being

pushed as a way to get scientists to accept GUTTING ENVIRONMENTAL

PROTECTIONS in many ways..

You must realize that..
