Family is on the road for “extreme avoidance” of toxic mold
Rosner Family, Supercharged
By Bryan Rosner

We all know that mold is now recognized to be a major contributing factor in the severity of Lyme disease. This is old news in the Lyme community.

My story is similar to many of yours. First, thinking my primary problem is Lyme. Then realizing that mold plays a much bigger role than I had ever imagined.

For more than a decade, I had successfully managed my Lyme disease by using such modalities as rife machines, herbs, and other commonly known protocols. Then, we lived in a moldy house. And it all fell apart. I was near death for two years, saying goodbye to my family.

In a last-ditch effort to get better, I flew from my hometown of Lake Tahoe to Southern California, to get ten-pass ozone therapy. I received five ten-pass ozone treatments (for a total of 50 passes).

But then, something unexpected happened. The ozone therapy violently “unmasked” me to mold. “Unmasking” is a term we use to describe when a person goes from living in mold and not knowing it, to having violent reactions to mold.

During my stay in Southern California, I had to switch hotel rooms because the room I was in became intolerable to me due to the presence of mold. When I got back to Tahoe, my home felt the same way – intolerable. A professional inspection revealed mold throughout our crawl space. We remediated the home, re-tested it to be sure it was clear, and then sold it.

I then tried following all of the standard mold treatment guidelines from mold doctors. While these therapies were helpful, none of them really brought me back to feeling well again. In fact, I remained quite sick.

Extreme avoidance?
That is when I read about Erik Johnson, a survivor of the original Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) cluster in Incline Village, Nevada. More than 30 years ago, Erik had discovered that mold was the underlying cause of his CFS. Only for him, the solution wasn’t a “treatment.”

It was what he calls “extreme mold avoidance,” where people go out of their way to avoid even tiny bits of toxic mold. Supposedly, doing this allows the body to “jumpstart” detox and begin the path to recovery.

Later, Lisa Petrison, PhD, another CFS patient, followed in Erik’s footsteps and recovered from her own case of CFS. She then founded the not-for-profit organization Paradigm Change.

Meanwhile, during this time, I was waking up in the middle of the night having visions of going to the desert, and other pristine locations. Hmmm, I thought…this is what Erik and Lisa say helped them to recover. I just couldn’t shake this deep intuition that I needed to try this for myself.

Rosner trailer extreme avoidance
This has been the home of the Rosner family for the past two years. They homeschool and seek out “pristine locations” to avoid mold.

Since we had already sold our home, it was easy for us to make the leap into buying a truck and travel trailer and hitting the road in search of these so-called “pristine locations.”

Apparently, I learned, mold doesn’t just affect people when it is growing in their immediate environment. Instead, mold can saturate the air of entire regions and cities, and fleeing to remote, pristine areas can lead to healing. I highly recommend this eye-opening article written by Lisa.

At this point, I was skeptical of this radical idea. But it was an adventure, we were homeless, and so, we went. And then something amazing happened.
