Ahh, thanks! As for your concerns about zapping, I've tried a few zappers, and never found them to increase my ES symptoms at all.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Porphyria is what may have created the legend of vampires! But I do know someone who's had EHS a long time and was also diagnosed with porphyria. Porphyrins are an important class of molecules, they bind metals, so it can all make sense. I would stay away from zappers myself... I think the theory (Prof. Sam Milham) that ALS is usually caused by diathermy/TENS treatment (even Lou Gehrig himself probably had diathermy for his back; his trainer is known to have used it on others) looks very plausible. These symptoms usually start many years later.
