I believe FM, ME, CFS are subsets of CFIDS and all are part of what one 'autoimmune causing chemical, BUTYL' can do, with abnormalities in blood sugar, blood pressure, body temp and loss of eyesight, loss of hearing, loss of taste & smell also being part of what this chemical exposure can and does do.
It should be suspect for cause of Pres FDR's death ... for major harm to Hitler ... for our soldiers of every war era (not Dioxin or whatever else gets blamed) ... for cause of SIDS ... too many 'side effects to mention'
Exposure looks like 'the flu' ... (Not a virus, but a particular chemical exposure) with 'sniffles' and diarrhea other signs of exposure. In addition to direct exposure you can be exposed 'second hand' and you can have effects prior to conception if either parent was seriously exposed. Many times we blame cancers and heart and lung damage to other things, instead of the anemia that goes undetected by doctors. Find the autoimmune hemolytic anemia (red blood cells being prematurely destroyed) and you may put that at the head of the list of leading causes of death, not one of the multiple side effects: heart, lung, pancreatic cancer, NHL ...
I think best help will be in the area of glycobiology ... cellular nutrition and proper cell to cell communication
Such as I shared with this mom whose son had serious health damage after working as a school janitor for 5 years.
There are too many wrong perceptions in the medical field that have to be realigned before there is any hope of finding the anemia & stop the harm of EGBE. Serious global warming issues and the loss of our bees are now coming to the attention of us all, as well. It is a much bigger net that you have to throw to find the harm of this chemical.
My thoughts shared with Dr. Ron Davis, Pres of the AMA
I just recognize the pattern of this chemical's harm, and you can, too
If you know anyone who might want to know where to look for the harm (the chemical exposure to avoid), and who had ideas on how to stop the body from going autoimmune in many, many ways, please pass this on
