Discouragement Recovery Time and Accidents of Physiology

Hello, Friends,

Honesty from a toxic-injury perspective:

I got discouraged!  I was writing up a storm, verbalizing the mechanics of toxic injury both in writing and in person numerous times -- and my spirit became completely exhausted.  

The educational process on this subject is very, very "slow going" due to the astronomical force and amount of misinformation -- and absence of information -- on toxic injury and multiple toxins in mainstream products.

Add to that the problem of people's sense of smell being physically dulled by these toxins -- and you've got an uphill battle.  There is, on the one hand, the extreme of the toxically injured person's nose often becoming like that of a bloodhound.  Then, on the other hand, there is the opposite extreme of a "healthy" person's sense of smell being dulled or nearly absent due to his frequent usage of -- or exposure to -- cleaners and scented products formulated with toxins.

So, when the toxically injured person identifies what is entering his senses (sometimes we can even "taste" scents in the air) to be a very strong chemical odor, the "unaffected" person carrying the scent is often totally baffled.  Many times the person does not smell his own scented products or the other varied chemical scents (often) surrounding him.  Or, to the extent that he can still detect scents, he smells a chemically scented product as much milder than it actually is.

Meanwhile, the toxically injured person smells mostly the chemicals in the scented product -- amplified.

These "accidents of physiology," alone, make this subject extremely difficult to tackle between a "scented" and an "unscented" person.  The "scented" people actually need their sense of smell to "recover," first, in order to appreciate, on a deeper level, what toxically injured people are saying about chemical scents.

Because of the "high discouragement" factor involved in attempting to inform others about toxic injury, I've realized that I need to space out my own writing on this topic more  -- to allow myself "discouragement recovery time."

However, even while I'm "resting" my pen, I'll continue to keep my eyes peeled for new articles and pieces of research on toxic injury.  I'll continually be adding to my "library" (see tabs and sidebar), even when I'm not actively posting letters to my readers.  So please check the tabs and sidebar frequently for new additions.

Please think of this site as a "toxic-injury information warehouse" which will be continually growing even when I, myself, am not writing. 

Thank you, friends, and may your reading experience be a fruitful one!

Cheers!
