The safe stay

What makes a safe stay unique?

[PLACEHOLDER CONTENT] [Intro to ecological and construction requirements]

[Why these locations? Toxins avoidance?]

Ecological considerations

Located in Costa Rica’s Blue Zone, Nicoya Peninsula is ideal for recovery due its Tropical Savanna climate in a rocky coastal region.

Climate & mold illness recovery

Fungi from different climates have different proteins, allowing hypersensitized immune systems to rest & recover.

Climate & mold illness recovery

Selected for little to no exposure to neurotoxic mining, pesticides, wildfires, pollution, algae, flooding, or persistent fog.

Toxins avoidance

[WHY This building? Toxins avoidance?]

Building requirements

Construction quality

Built in concrete & steel structural materials, on a foundation properly sealed from ground moisture.

Air purification

ULPA-grade air filtration, air sanitization, and sufficient ventilation to ensure access to low particulate counts

Low trigger furnishings

Hard surface furniture, minimal textiles, hypoallergenic pillow & mattress liners, bedding, and linens, and in-unit washer dryer

ERMI verified

Routine, independent dust sampling to ensure a low-mold tier per the EPA's Environmental Relative Moldiness Index.

Cleaning protocols

Biocides and enzymes appropriate for mycotoxin contamination, in place of standard hospitality cleaning.

Recovery plan

[Combined with an effective recovery plan]

[PLACEHOLDER CONTENT] [Recovery from mold illness follows a structured sequence. The stages are organized so each builds on the last, drawing from peer-reviewed diagnostic and treatment evidence to empower people, caregivers, & clinicians to locate where they are in the process & what comes next.]

Recovery plan 1/5

[Minimize exposure]

[PLACEHOLDER] [Treatment cannot outpace ongoing exposure. Assess current environment, treat possessions using decontamination protocols per the EPA and CDC, and either remediate to a verified safe ERMI score or find a new environment with a low score & low reactivity.]

Recovery plan 2/5

[Testing]

[PLACEHOLDER] [Test for bodily exposure through urine mycotoxin panels,⁴ blood antibody testing per the World Allergy Org, inflammatory & oxidative stress markers.⁵

The Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI) test is an EPA-developed tool to assess mold contamination using DNA to identify and quantify mold species and assign a score.]

Recovery plan 3/5

[Clear & detox]

[PLACEHOLDER] [Support the body's ability to clear stored toxins through cholestyramine per the [Journal of Food Protection], targeted supplements like glutathione & NAC per [Toxins], nasal and sinus treatment per the [Mayo Clinic Proceedings]. Sweat out toxins and inflammation via infrared sauna per [Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology] and exercise.]
