That is wonderful news David! I am so happy for you. Thanks so much for
the feedback. This is what makes it all worth while.

As to why / how I can find the time to do what I do -- I was sick for
five years, really sick from mold fume poisoning. I went to all the
specialists in Dallas and Seattle. NONE of them had a clue, I found it
in the medical literature and eventually figured out the sources in
three different houses, all had mold in hidden places in large amounts.
It really changed me, I was at the point of thinking I would never be
well, or my family, it almost drove us insane and to the brink of
financial ruin. Helping others, after doing an intense learning curve on
top of my already alternative orientation, is healing me, simple. The
paradigm of the wounded healer is applicable here.


May I forward this to the DMSO list?
