Nitric oxide Theory of CFS by scientist that studies NO

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

I came across a really cool blog by a scientist that studies nitric

oxide. I decided to ask t what his thoughts where about CFS and nitric

oxide.

He already had his own theory about how Nitric oxide was involved in

CFS.

I asked to write an article for my blog

An Engineering Perspective on CFS - by Dave Whitlock

tigue-syndrome-nitric-oxide/>

Its pretty long and complicated, but definately an interesting read.

I would definately like to hear the opinions of the Dr's on this forum.

He said he had some differences with Pall's NO/ONOO theory

Let me know what you guys think

I'm way too tired out to go into detail on this, so just let me say that anyone

with CFS/FM who also has any of the low blood pressure related problems, such as

OI or POTS, should *never* try to raise NO. Nitric Oxide is a dilator (probably

both vaso and arterial), and dilation is the last thing that these sufferers

need.

I speak from personal experience!

It is for this personal reason that I pay attention to Dr Pall's protocol,

though I have not been up to raising the dilation question on his list.

I will add, for anyone who follows metabolic balancing, that people who are

parasympathetic dominant tend to be dilated, and tend to low blood pressure.

This may be just one 'arm' of the whole CFS 'body', and different sufferers may

have different pathways that this DD (that's " damn disease " !) takes.
