Hello again.

Re:

I'm sure receiving a great education on this forum.

I think it's good to learn 'GOOD Education'.

I realize that "I ain't got no learnin" when it comes to biology. Last class was in 1964.

'Never too late', my thought. I may have no conclusive evidence of it, but I like to think that's the way it is, so I believe it Firmly.

Thanks to rabbitears posts, I am learning again.

That's nice to know.

If you think you have "Awe", think of poor little me. But you can bet, I'm really trying.

Oh, I'm quite sure of it. Evidence of it is -I think- that you're constantly looking for some kind of answer.



Here's a short story 'for your reading pleasure':

The first time I saw 'Mold' under the scope was from a sample taken from my own body. I had suffered for many years of a persistent case of 'congested nostrils'. I was allergic to nearly EVERYTHING. You name it, chances are it caused me some wild allergy AND sometimes an acute attack of Asthma -perhaps as an added bonus [I had Asthma, too, which was my greatest concern at the time. With a 'runny nose' I could live, I thought, but I had realized long before that Asthma eventually could or would kill me so it was the main 'focus' of my studies then. Little did I know.. but that's another story].

Anyway, one day, while handling some slides, I had a sudden [and usual] 'bout' of 'itchy nose', and after blowing it, I discharged some bloody secretion [as usual too]. Since this was 'the norm' for me, I was kind of "used to it" [After all, present-day knowledge had it stated very "firmly" that "allergies were caused by allergens" [a fallible argument if you ask me] and that all the patient had to do was 'learn to live with it', right?]. As I was about to discard the paper wipe I'd used to clean myself, accidentally it touched one of my slides with the secretion, so right then I saw the incidental opportunity to put such an unlikely sample under the lens. Of course that was an opportunity I would not miss, so just out of curiosity I proceeded quickly.

When I looked at the sample, almost immediately "something" did not seem "right" to me -although objectively there was nothing peculiar to be seen, as it appeared. I spent hours with that sample, trying to make something out of this apparent 'singularity', taking notes and asking many questions; a long time later I decided to forget about it and to resume work. So I discarded the sample and got back to work, but I never forgot the observation I'd made and the questions that came along with my notes. Eventually, that led me to a day when I did find "something" once again, 'something' that as I later realized resembled "some kind of fungus" [that's exactly what I wrote down on my notes then].

When I finally managed to reveal the organism -after a couple of long years of study as I recall-, and when it finally 'hit me' that this thing was attached to my bone structure itself, with undeniable evidence I would have LOVED to disprove, Reality set in: This thing was growing inside of me, and there was "little chance" to ever get it out, according to all the information I had gathered and learned. Maybe you can NOT imagine the Shock. Well, maybe you can. It was a truly frightening moment, a blood-chilling realization, this one. To this day I try to forget the feeling.

What was worse about this 'discovery' is that I also knew that despite lifelong treatment, in many cases the thing would continue to grow unstopped, albeit incredibly slowly [This is a very patient organism. After all, it's plant-like]. This knowledge was documented with a cold mathematical certainty. As you can understand, my first reaction to the whole thing went something like "I'm screwed. Even if I resolve Asthma, there's this damn thing". So I had no choice. I had to do something or else.

So, anyway, that's the story, at least part of the beginning in the case of Mold.


[It was fortunate for me -I think- that I always Believe in the Possibility. Eventually, Thank God, this Nightmare was resolved, but that turned out to be the least of my troubles, as I soon learned afterwards]




I shared this much to give you an idea of how [maybe] I can understand your feelings about this problem. I've been there; Thank the Lord I'm out [at least as far as I can tell]! It's a tough problem for sure -there's no single doubt about it-, but as I've said several times before, evidence seems to suggest that maybe "It's not just mold you have to worry about".

This problem does not seem to be discrete, so a binary approach of logic may not help to resolve it, according to what I've learned and observed. What this suggests is that perhaps the 'binary nature' of Koch's postulates should not work or fit for cases like these, and that may help to explain its apparent 'failure'. It also may help to explain the failure of contemporary medical approaches against these things. For that reason, as I've said it before, I see that perhaps Koch's Postulates will need to be reconsidered sometime soon, and perhaps then organisms like Molds and how they afflict a host will be better understood. I'm pondering this possibility with an apparent "Unity" I've observed towards some illnesses, and maybe on Disease itself as a whole. I think I mention this in more detail in some older posts.
