RE: Moving

Hello! Dear @irvinc.
I'm so sorry you're going through such unpleasant experiences.
Don't be fooled by what The Secret says. Before its publication, a motivational author already assured us: "What you fear won't happen."
Regarding the effectiveness of alum, you can try increasing your concentration. I know that in Spain they sell cylindrical alum stones to apply to damp skin, as a deodorant, and they can last between 1 and 2 years.
I hope to hear about your full recovery soon and that, despite the mileage, you continue to thrive.

Hugs
