Anne My understanding is that both Slaya and are chemically sensitive unless they practice massive mold avoidance. Re-exposure to the mycotoxin(s) that they are sensitive to brings back chemical sensitivity with a vengeance, as if someone had flipped a switch. My theory is that massive avoidance lowers the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes that punch holes in the blood brain barrier and gives it a chance to heal. For an idea of the time scales involved, PMID: 10663964 says that in rats given a stroke it takes about 3 days for the blood brain barrier to collapse and around a month for it to be restored. With an intact blood brain barrier, many chemicals are kept out of the brain so they don't hurt even though the brain's NMDA receptors are still sensitized from previous exposures. The inflammatory response to mycotoxins brings down the blood brain barrier, chemicals are free to bum rush the brain, and the Dr. Pall NO/ONOO- cycle spins up to peak fierceness.
