Ozone Therapy Autoimmune






The simple and complicated
Or the Other World High
Pays Dogon, Mali. A cliff about 200 km long and 150 meters high over the size sub-Saharan Sahel in the northwest-southeast direction. The sandstone rock is very sound of a live red, yellow and ocher. But the aspect that interests us most are the views and cultural rights. At the foot of the wall have alternated the two ethnic groups that have transformed the environment according to their lifestyle needs. Telem
I built houses of mud on the cracks in the top of the cliff. We climbed through the dense vegetation and thick vines at that time colonized the steep walls. They were "pygmies" or hunter-gatherers, living in symbiosis with the forest and it drew nourishment and protection from other peoples around them.
But around the thirteenth century a chain of migration from the west in the area brought a new population of farmers: the Dogon. They found a favorable environment in the region and settled there by building their mud-brick huts at the foot of the wall. They were not proficient enough to climb the rock as Telem, but they could take advantage of the position raised above the surrounding plain to dominate the area and spotting well in advance of any invasion by enemies. Their lifestyle obviously did not fit The dense vegetation so began a great work of obtaining clearing agricultural land and transforming the ecosystem in bush, as we still see today. Telem The poor were forced to migrate south along the forest in rapid retreat.

Dogon civilization could take root undisturbed along the entire cliff. Born real villages, literally leaning on the rock. Some are still inhabited, but most, in recent generations, have been moved into the flat where there is more space to accommodate rapid population growth in the population: the danger of war is now almost eliminated, even if poverty and hunger continue to devastate the existence of these (despite all) happy and carefree people. The abandoned houses, thanks to the protection from the elements offered by the cliffs, you can still visit and, indeed, are a popular tourist destination, especially after that UNESCO has made it a World Heritage Site. Higher, still emerge here and there the huts of Telem, now unattainable. The area, in addition to being a destination for migration of modern business and leisure travelers, anthropologists, geologists, volunteers and cooperating Western began to groove to a new breed: the 'homo rampicans .
At the end of the 80 strong French climber Catherine Destivelle went there to open new routes on the beautiful exotic rocks of Mali. Our guide Bouba Guindo was then a boy, tells us that he was hired to help the beautiful Catherine to carry the heavy equipment from the rock. While I say that I'm a climber (well most of my little cousin Alps), I notice that Bouba is more thoughtful. After a moment of silence, feel the urgent need to candidly express his doubts: "I was down there I looked at Catherine proceed with difficulty and effort over the wall. And I thought that if I were in his shoes I would pass a few meters to the right where it seemed much easier. "
am unarmed in front of his shiny reasoning. This is a real clash of cultures: the innocent naivete African vs. the artificial western sophistication. To explain the whole issue with completeness I should start with the ascent of Mont Ventoux, Petrarch, continue with the ascent of Mont Blanc De Saussure, then Whymper and Carrel, the last three issues of the Alps, the sixth grade, and overcoming it, the race eight thousand, Cerro Torre, Americans of Yosemite and our new morning. And still climbing, bouldering and indoor gyms. More simply explain that the purpose of Destivelle was precisely to identify and pursue the path more difficult to reach the top.
Pleased her.
