Fabulous Jo! Nothing like hands-on experience and observance to support our cause. I am listening (cds on ipod) again to the book, The Great Influenza again to remember more completely (19 cd's) the information and see if anything I can pick up will help. Today, chapter 2 dealt with Dr.Koch from the 1890's as well as other researching physicians who learned about viruses, bacteria, germs, disease and one theory way back then was that the gas created from dying and rotting organic organism (hey just realized organism came from that word 'organic' in organic biology???) Anyway as they break down they create noxious fumes which, if inhaled cause disease. Probably from the airborne spores, I'd think. the author said back in the 1800's, because of that theory the board of health in NYC warned against laying plumbing in the city in a short term period (1 year) to avoid disease implications. Wow, huh? So anyway, I think living near water, and people who's homes are near new street work to replace plumbing (as I know some of our members are) are susceptible to all that, not to mention, of course the fungus/mold from leaks in the house and water sitting under the house, and in the drains on the roof. My son's roof has visible mold areas that are traveling all over. And it's only about 5 years old. Evidentally the idiot that built it (privately) didn't put drains in properly and all the collected leaves etc. decayed.

Only 17 more cd's to go.

Thats interesting Kritts about the disease control of 1800s. There seems to be so many wisdoms lost in time.

SS - I'm training to be an occupational therapist, so helping people claw back their independence...mainly dealing with chronic illnesses. We prescribe aids, like on this site: M.A. Rallis: Physical Therapy Equipment and Rehabilitation Supplies and adapt homes to make life easier.

I'm still trying to work out how to integrate all the wonderful info learnt through MDR. The best training in the world!!

Jo -
I'm quite serious. Do you have trouble concentrating on studies and remembering things? I don't know whether my problem is physical or obsessive, but I can't seem to go to the supermarket without screwing it up! How long have you been at it, and when will you finish? It is truly inspirational; I mean, you actually have a life....

SS,

LOL - I've made soooo many mistakes this week...my supervisor must think I'm a right muppet. Including crashing my car with colleagues in the back and leaving my mobile phone on top of my car - I'M A DISASTER!!

But - Researching and posting here has helped my brain cells no end. I've only just started getting my own independence back and I think its a combination of things that have helped. I can get up at 6am fine....I havent been able to do that for about 15 years. I think its salt baths, ivermectin, green tea, B vitamins (and others) and no sugar thats done this.

I know that my concentration problems have at times been overcome with discipline...so some of the problem is behavioural - damn sneaky parasite, messing with my brain chemicals.

I finish training at Christmas - its taken 3 years full time study.

As LC and Robin have said, alot of morg symptoms are reversible. Lets hope that its all reversible hey.
