Re: being newish here

I could show you a " sick region " surrounding a compost farm in Nevada.

Everyone that is downwind for half a mile is showing signs.

The owner of the compost farm is turning over operation to a manager

because he is becoming too ill to work.

The doctors can't figure out what is wrong with him and are calling

it " stress " .

None of the people who are also noticing effects in that zone can

figure it out.

All except for two of my friends, who listened to me when I asked them

to correlate their feelings of depression and lethargy to a specific

wind direction - the direction from that farm!

So whenever they felt like Hell, they would go outside and check the

wind - and they would ask each other " How do you feel. When did it

start. When did this wind start blowing? " and made a positive

association between their health and the wind direction.

They moved, and said they felt " hits " from their possessions for a

full year after moving.

postscript.

I have always wondered if the compost farm manager had an idea that

the place was making him ill, but didn't wish to admit it - and so he

simply expressed the " true " statement that the doctors had no idea

what was wrong with him.

My friend called me from Texas to say that a couple of workbenches

that we thought were OK had started making him feel like crap, and

steadily continued to get worse.

He turned them upside down and found mold growing on the underside.

Why mold would be growing there, when mold doesn't normally just

take off like that on an indoor workbench remains a mystery.

Since the new place feels good otherwise, and the culprit was

something taken from " the bad place " , we have concluded that there

must be something different about that mold.
