| I saw a horse race once where the winner was not | | | | So if you get rid of the mold in the athletes dressing |
| declared until the race people had a chance to look at | | | | room and home you can gain 5-10% extra |
| the "photo finish." | | | | performance, right? Well almost. |
| Boy was it close. There was a bout 3 inches | | | | Store cleansers |
| difference between first and second place. | | | | We also have to think about regular chemicals in the |
| What could that second place horse have done in | | | | home that can also interfere with nerve/muscle |
| that mile or so of endeavor? What little bit extra | | | | junctions. |
| could have won that race? How much extra energy | | | | Most high schools try to get rid of mold and bacteria |
| or endurance did that horse need? 5%, 10%?? | | | | with bleach. Well, bleach won't kill mold. But that's the |
| For three inches in a mile race, the horse needed less | | | | subject of another article. Bleach will burn the lungs |

| What about a high school track star? How much | | | | Some of the things you buy at the store contain |

| Probably about 5% more energy; 5% more mental | | | | scar the lungs and decrease the person's ability to |

| Let's back up in time. | | | | Does this contribute to an Olympic destiny? Hardly. |
| When the high school student [or professional | | | | Ozone machines |
