Are you eating mainly raw now? 

At least 50%. Usually 70-80%. Not sure yet if I'll go back 100% or not. I'm appreciating the fact I seem to be handling cooked food a little better than before but I still feel best raw.

Neither. Do you have anything useful to add to the discussion or is it purely ad hominem attacks? I'll debate anything legitimate you care to debate but this is pointless.

hey, where do I need to sign up/apply to become a paid collaborator/accomplice like yourself? With the sole mission of keeping the hoaxvid1984/scamvid1984/convid1984 alive for as long as possible and encourage the sheeple to get into it, basically to control the sheeple through trauma/fear based mind control while inducing severe: 1. Virtue Signaling Syndrome; 2. Stockholm Syndrome; 3. Cognitive Dissonance; 4. Milgram Experiment Syndrome; 5. Normalcy Bias; 6. Learned Helplessness; 7. Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy… I mean if the money is good, I might join you guys, since the sheeple are incredibly/overwhelmingly stupid and easy to scam/fool/control/hoax…

I'm not really sure how to respond to you. Yes, fear drives our reality as do other emotions. Compassion is how you overcome it. We ARE out of balance with the rest of this reality though. We grow as a collective if people can stand on their own in harmony. If we continue down the path we are on the cycle repeats again. You can project however you want. I'm living my truth.

We agree and disagree friend. There is salvation in most. I will agree some are past it. Too deeply rooted in the ego of their personal hell. We must each listen through our heart and mine tells me to light up the fucking sky as a guidepost on others journeys. I refuse to compound the version of reality we are experiencing by adding fear into it.

Very interesting thoughts. Have you ever thought or experimented with introducing medicinal mushrooms (non Psilocybin) extracts against fungal toxins?

I have begun to consider it. I've tried pot twice in my life and had very acute anxiety episodes as a result. I am beginning to wonder how much of that was driven by underlying trauma which needed to be worked through (in process) versus a physiological response (many herbs are potent anti-fungals, perhaps if my lungs have mold the marijuana induced a reaction). I actually have some good quality chaga my boss harvested himself last winter in the mountains. It feels like it may be time soon to use some. Everything comes to us for a reason even if it takes a year to get there.

I’ve read through the last few pages of your journal and first of all, what a journey to be working through! Persistant health issues can be so discouraging and enigmatic. It’s inspiring to see your critical thinking process.

I noticed some similarities to my own health journey, especially with the reference to tinea.  My childhood home (where I lived age 0-17) was found to be riddled with mold shortly after I moved out. I stayed home with candida and general fatigue throughout most of my teen years. My sister seemed to have a mold-related ailment that was even worse as she is allergic (and actually prompted her to pursue a career in the alternative health field.)

I had tinea on my skin for a couple of years in my early twenties. Wonder if it was related to the mold exposure. Also, kidney stones a few times (due to high oxalates? I was into juicing spinach and such.) I’m at a bit of a loss for what got rid of my manifestation of tenia. For the last few years that it’s been gone, it has puzzled me that the disappearance didn’t seem to be connected with a diet to control yeast, as I had given up on that during the outbreak. I will note that I had my kidney stone occurrences while I had the tinea on my skin.

 So it’s interesting to hear you talk about ideas for how all of this could be connected.

Welcome to the forum Christine.
It has been quite the journey. It's been good to have a chronicle to sit down and revisit the experience as well. I really appreciate the forum having that stability.

I am becoming more and more convinced of the synergistic/antagonistic nature of the microbiota in our bodies. Traditional Chinese Medicine and other Eastern practices nailed it long ago. We're just well behind the curve in Western medicine. It's our nature to reduce things down into parts we can understand but then you lose perspective the whole.

I'm actually fleshing the theory out further. I'm pushing it more into the metaphysical but I believe a portion of the population is more energy aware than the rest and that's a big driver in this since not everyone develops these issues.

The vagus nerve connects the gut, heart, and brain (pineal gland?). They correlate to the dan-tiens (lower, middle, upper) or important chakras (root, heart, third eye). These individuals are more prone to digestive issues (lower dan-tien, root chakra) which disrupts to connection with the others via vagus nerve.

When the gut is out of balance the body has trouble getting the nutrients it needs to properly handle metals (metallothionein). This can lead to a number of issues. Heavy metals trapped in the body. Copper dysregulation. Zinc unavailability. Settling of iron in the body. All of these add oxidative stress draining other nutrients further spiraling things down the drain. Chronic illnesses are an outward representation of imbalance in the internal terrain. As one addresses the sub-clinical dysautonomous state the body can begin to rebalance.

The theory I have seen proposed by a mold doctor that molds increase in the body to address metals rings true. The mechanics involving oxalates was my own intuitive leap. I have been frequenting a number of groups the last year and there's been a confluence of all the information into one fairly cohesive theory. I firmly believe things happen for a reason and this is just one more example.

My tinea is reducing. My oxalate dumping is significantly reduced. Mostly just dumping free copper now which is controlled through increasing liver versus muscle meat. Leafy greens and chlorella to bind things up and keep it coming out. I'm consistently pushing what appear to be bilirubin stones about the size of peas in my stools. Greenish stools from the chlorella with rust color balls.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I also want to share a treatment for COVID I have seen recommended by a mold doctor (Dr. Dan) as well as my recommendations to adjust it for safer outcome. The presupposition that a fungal dysbiosis induces a more acute response to COVID is necessary for this approach.

Hypochlorous acid is a mild acid including chlorine in it's composition (HOCl). It's produced by applying electrical current to a solution of water (H2O) and salt (NaCl). Hydrogen peroxide and chlorine combine into hypochlorous acid (HOCl) with sodium hydroxide (NaH) precipitating out of solution. Hypochlorous acid is very safe for utilization within the body (within reason, don't use it every day or super large doses). Your white blood cells actually produce the same compound to fight off infection.

The protocol I have seen touted is nebulizing hypochlorous acid bringing the immune system stimulating substance to one of your most porous membranes in the lungs. This is especially critical as many harbor COVID in their lungs (and stomach) once the clinical symptoms go into remission.

The adjunct, which is even more critical, is a couple drops of nascent iodine solution in the nebulizer liquid. Iodine is a potent antimicrobial particularly against fungus. The thought is the folks who get sickest are dealing with a dysbiosis of fungi and by gettign that iodine directly into the lungs it starts killing the fungi direct.

This can be incredibly taxing on the body. Individuals fighting COVID, long-haulers, or alone with systemic fungal issues is in a compromised state. The body's organs of elimination are likely overwhelmed or down-regulated to deal with the issue at hand. It is imperative that the organs of elimination are as open and ready to purge as possible. If there is fungus present it's going to go down swinging. It will likely create mycotoxins in the body as it dies. You will feel miserable. If you go to hard too fast you might not make it.

My additional recommendations are to support your detox system with necessary nutrients so things can clear out as smoothly as possible. Get lots of B1 & B6 in. All the electrolytes but especially Magnesium. Sulfate. Molybdenum. There are other nutrients which will help but these are the critical nutrients.

I'm fairly confident based on this past year I got COVID last winter and it's what crashed me. I think I've had systemic fungal issues since my teens due to antibiotics. I'm slowly easing into this protocol. I've been spraying some hypochlorous acid into my mouth and inhaling. I've been putting iodine on q-tips up my nose or inhaling vapors off a saturated paper towel. I have a nebulizer which showed up yesterday. I'll be starting that in the middle of the week.

I'm planning on recovering my health shortly. This year has taught me more than I could have ever learned in classes or watching others. It's time for me to make the shift to a position healing others but I can only do that once I'm healed.

Stay safe all. This virus feels unnatural. Our world will not be the same after this but we can be changed for the better.

Going to be dumping some info here. This is cross-posted from the "Mold Avoiders" group on Facebook. It's not as coherent like this but hopefully will help someone. Hopefully some day I will be able to look back on it for posterity sake.
-----------------

So I’ve been mulling this whole thing over much more closely.

What if many chronic illnesses are the result of a dysbiosis of fungi to bacteria as the results of the increased use of antibiotics. There are plenty of studies out there that track the increased of chronic illness since they began prescribing antibiotics (mold toxins usually) but little to nothing on the connection with the mycobiome. We’re starting to see identification of SIFO but that’s as far as it goes.

Certain species of mold can produce mycotoxins within the host. Some can also produce oxalates within the body (I’m still not sure on the function-mold food?). These increase oxidative stress on the body, reduce redox atopsis & autophagy, and down regulate “less” critical processes in the body so we can escape. Vitamins B1/thiamine takes some of the hardest hits as a result of this oxidative stress.

Additionally any of this occurring intracellularly like oxalates reduces the number of viable cells in the body to support processes so each viable cell has to take on a greater percentage over the overall nutrient & process burden. We can store less of what we need, and do less of what we need, because of aberrant cells.

CFS->Low redox/high oxidative stress->poor thiamine/B1 utilization->Reduced ATP/cellular energy.

PEM->Low redox/high oxidative stress->poor thiamine/B1 utilization->Decreased lactic acid clearance.

MCS->Low redox/high oxidative stress->poor thiamine/B1 utilization->Insufficient B6 activation->Slowed/stopped clearance of toxins from liver.

Burning Skin/Hypersensitivity to stimuli->Low redox/high oxidative stress->poor thiamine/B1 utilization->Insufficient B6 to move potassium into cell (hypokalemia).

Even something like Alzheimer’s, which they are finding may be linked to oxalate buildup, could be tied back to fungi not controlled by bacteria.

Sundowning could be agitation from fungal overgrowth getting more active at night. I think a lot of us experience worsening at night?

I’m also looking at Scandinavia. Reduced sunlight and increased CFS. Could the vitamin D from the sun help control fungi internally? Dr. Seneff feels certain it supports BACTERIA in the gut. This also highlights the “November Effect” and it’s correlation to day length/light exposure. Ventilation is obviously a big part as well.

Lastly what if the ‘Rona is so dangerous to some seemingly healthy folks and not others because of underlying fungal dysbiosis. Traditional Chinese medicine indicates it’s a damp condition which would exacerbate the virus. Especially since it specifically seems to respond well to thiamine as an adjunct support. Hell, folks probably go into massive oxalate “dumps” and those mobilized minerals tear stuff up.

Obviously I’ve been busy thinking...

I’m seeing a LOT of parallels in my symptomology now to where I was as a teen. At that time I ultimately got on top of it with an animal based diet, lots of anti-fun gals, and lots of exercise. The animal based foods were supportive to warm my damp constitution which was making it habitable to fungi (although eating it raw probably hampered that some). Eating keyogenic limited sugars for the fungi (and oxalate intake). The exercise was key. I assumed it made it easier to process fat , which it probably did, but it also warmed and dried the body making it inhospitable to fungi. Each time I’d stray from diet I had flared though which show I was limited in my view on how to properly reestablish balance. Then living in a water-damaged building for four years undid the limited success I had had keeping things in check.

I’m eating a wider Whole Foods diet and adjusting to warm and dry my constitution now. Also taking some herbal antifungals, using appropriate supplements, and taking binders. And my list of safe foods has increased exponentially from just beef a year ago to probably two dozen in regular rotation now.

It’s about balance. Antibiotics upset that balance. The increasing toxins in our world upset that balance. Our all-or-nothing approach with diets upsets that balance. Gotta increase Yang to balance the Yin excess but just to balance otherwise you can kick up bacterial issues.

Oxalates and salicylates feel like they have an antagonistic feel to them. I’m finding anti-fungal foods frequently have elevated salicylates. I think “salicylate intolerance” is our dysbiosis reacting negatively to something ingested which irritates the fungus. Sulfur intolerance may be the same.

I’m beginning to wonder is oxalates and salicylates are different thermal extremes of stored energy. I’ve read many posts by Althea Black (I thought she was a member here but can’t tag her) over the last year where she spoke very forward thinking and abstract thesis on time and our interrelationship with it. In one post she spoke to oxalates being stored energy. I’m beginning to intuit this as well. I’m intuiting a lot as time goes on which was freaking me out in the beginning but I’m coming around to it being positive changes and not psychosis. Mold really is an interesting experience and all things considered I’m now grateful for it as it’s pushed me to grow a lot in a short amount of time. It’s been hell but worth it.

I believe it’s sub-clinical dysautonomia. The body is in some degree of fight or flight and it has difficulty resetting. The more compounded issues the more this is aggravated until the individual is perpetually in fight or flight (or freeze). The body uses thiamine amongst other nutrients to regulate stress. There has been great success by many in overcoming issues driven by underlying dysautonomia through high dose thiamine. The big issue is it doesn’t “stick” and the thiamine becomes a maintenance dose instead of a treatment course. I agree there is more to it especially understanding why it doesn’t stick. For what it’s worth the reason programs like DNRS work is by calming the fight or flight response so the body can start back up other processes secondary to immediate survival but critical to long term health like sulfation or methylation. My issue with those programs is sometimes there is immediate danger and you should be listening to your body.

Maybe CIRS is the body’s response to adjust a flaring damp constitution (internal infection quorum flare) by retaining sodium. It just confuses me as mold seems inhibited by an alkaline PH and not acidic. Now that I think about it though sodium isn’t inherently acidic or basic it’s just heating. The issue arises from a lack of negative ions to bond with sodium to produce basic compounds.

I just realized borax is sodium borate. An alkaline salt. One many have found success with. Some have used it internally as medicine.

Sodium bicarbonate. Also a compound of sodium and a base (carbonates). This is part of a much touted Candida cure.

Is our low stomach acid compounded by the body’s repurposing of sodium elsewhere to address immediate issues? Ultimately resulting in a cascade of nutrient deficiencies due to reduced digestion and subsequent malabsorption? Eventually it’s self perpetuating.

Malabsorption could induce a poor generation of Metallothionein due to lacking substrate. This leads to copper dysregulation as zinc unbalances. Iron precipitates out in the body adding to electromagnetic sensitivities. Additionally the body’s ability to clear heavy metals is reduced and they begin accumulating. Parasites flare up to sequester these metals and preserve the host as part of a wholistic bid for homeostasis.

I am starting to think I’m also guilty of reductionism. Everything above rings true but there’s more at play than just an imbalance of constitution. I’m starting to read more into TCM and much of this is retreading of millennial old thinking. It’s important for humans as a species to not lose that connection with source and the balance of all but it’s short-sighted to think it can be so simplified.

https://www.easterncurrents.ca/.../02/25/diet-and-dampness

Being completely candid here there's a lot of intuition and muscle testing involved in my framework. My experiences over the last year have significantly heightened underlying energy awareness. I'm not going to get into that here as much of this group is science minded but there's a strong involvement with the less measurable. Perhaps from the duration of time one lingers closer to death. I will say as I get stronger I feel a deep connection to the "source".

Everything is just vibrating energy. It's how that energy is able to flow or not flow which enacts changes.
I've been conjecturing that sodium is fire/positive current and potassium is water/ground. Calcium could be air/positive attenuation and magnesium earth/ground attenuation (I'm less comfortable with these two but feel confident in the synergies based on support of sodium/potassium in the body). How they come together creates the form. In my instance I'm an air dominant constitution but my damp state is keeping me muted. I always felt like I was an earth/water constitution since I was younger but I think that was underlying imbalances coming through.

The long and short of it is COVID feels like a global shift. It's time for each of us to sink or swim. Not only am I planning on swimming but I'm going to toss life preservers to anyone I can while I'm at it.

Maybe calcium & magnesium are the "time" aspects. Modulation of anabolic and catabolic states. Regeneration & decay. Air feeds fire to burn quicker. Earth added to water slows it. A work in progress.

One great thing to come out of this is much deeper body awareness, energy awareness, and the ability to muscle test. More and more synchronicities are occurring in my life. Just kind of floating along with it enjoying what I can of the ride.

My muscle testing indicates is Aspergillus Versicolor colonization. I had noticed over the summer that my clothes when washed made the water green and had a moldy smell to it. I’ve also realized more recently that dead skin I scrape off in the shower has a green tint and occasionally green fibers. I’ve also had those fibers in mucus from my sinuses and chest. Mainstream medicine is useless with this kind of stuff. I think colonization is a more common occurrence than acknowledged. My best guess in my case is either something genetic or epiginetic which predisposed me to reduced clearance of General toxins (I suspect I’m on the spectrum with reduced utilization of B6). Additionally a rough childhood probably predisposed me to dysautonomia with poor thiamine retention. At least that’s my theory for now. No sense dwelling in the past.

I ate dinner (raw bison steak & arugula with 3 tablespoons bison tallow) and an hour later I’m starving. I then had a pound of fatty ground bison meat and feel so sated. There’s something magical about raw animal fat that you don’t get with cooked fats. So nourishing for the body. I’m super grateful to continue having success reintroducing animal foods back into my diet. This is how we heal folks. <3

I don't disagree. For short-term intervention some mineral supplements could be helpful. But what we really need is nutrient-rich food and regenerative food production. I try to eat wild-caught as much as I can.

I’ve seen some incredible improvements that people have achieved with the right supplementation at the right time. I think the most important item you touch on is regenerative food production. So much nowadays is depletionary practices and that mineral depletion in our foods is driving so many modern illnesses. In particular is the sequestering of manganese by glyphosate. The ramifications of this on downstream processes is so critical it upends the whole organism. Vitamin B2 in particular MUST be in place for proper utilization of the other Bs and is completely dependent on manganese. The one two of B2 deficiency to B1 deficiency cripples the whole organism.

It may not be the answer but they can look into oxalates and dumping. A carnivorous diet is very low in oxalates and if they're predisposed to issues with oxalates the low dietary intake could induce excretion of them out of the body. Most dump them through stool or urine but some do it through other means including skin.

how do you exactly do your muscle testing? As far as I know there are several ways. Which one did you find works best for you?

I've been having success with sway testing.
https://amybscher.com/self-muscle-testing-the-sway-test-or-idiometer-response/

I'll keep trialing other methods to see how they do. Mainly because the sway test requires standing which is not terribly convenient for a lot of things. It would be nicer to sit and quickly run through questions noting responses.

Results are impacted by energy levels and mental state. After enough questions I'll start to lose the strength of responses even though I feel like I have plenty of physical energy. I've been doing energy work including yoga, meditation, and energy manipulation which has been helping attune recognition of responses and builds stamina.

This is kind of disconcerting. It's possible with the state of things as COVID he's holed up somewhere with a ton of food keeping safe.
