's theory might hold water. All I know is this past summer, my

depression was greatly relieved and the weather was mostly unchanged

beautiful blue skies. It might be worthwhile charting this as it

corresponds to the weather.

mold/depression

The immunological upregulation involved in the " disease of a thousand

names "

, CFS being the most recognized, is characterised by overpowering

depression. Anybody who has experienced this knows that this

depression is

a physiological response and not one of attitude. Doctors and

psychiatrists

are trying desperately to convince people that their depression is the

result of physical discomfort and emotional stress. They have

completely

failed and will continue to fail because the depression response so

clearly

does not correspond to times of pain and stress, but rather occurs

seemingly

at random.

The exception to random onset of depression is at times of

weather change. Many people recognise a connection but no sensible

immunological trigger comes to mind that has the potential for such a

profound response.

Neurotoxic volatolized compounds from mold spores are that

immunological

trigger. Mold spores are primed to release their toxins at times of

weather

change when conditions of wind and potential water give spores their

best

chance for dispersion and survival. The FIRST signs of immunological

response to mold are depression and anxiety. Whenever you have

sudden onset

of anxiety, ask yourself if you might not have been exposed to mold

because

of a change in weather, wind direction, physical movement to a

contaminated

location or even someone who might have contaminated clothing moving

into

your space. I have talked to hundreds of people with CFS and almost

all of

them have mentioned the same symptoms and clues that led me to my

conclusions about this response to mold. The amount of mold required

to

trigger this response is so slight that it seems inconceivable to

anyone who

does not have this reactivity. Once you recognise a relationship

between

mold as a trigger and anxiety/depression, no doctor will be able to

convince

you otherwise because the correlation can be felt so strongly. All I

have

to do is draw this to your attention.

The mere consideration of this as a

possibility will be enough to let you draw your own firm conclusions.
