New book published on 'Cellular Hypoxia and Neuro-immune Fatigue.'

[Guest guest]

I had come across a book a while ago and purchased it. I've read it

and have REALLY enjoyed it. It is a new book written by a doctor who

is an expert in 'Chronic Fatigue,' - but addresses the 'Neuroimmune'

aspect behind many illnesses, and describes in great detail what is

likely occurring step by step, with diagrams.

I'll put a link down in case someone wants to buy it (very

inexpensive) and read it. I liked it because it actually describes

the illness more clearly than I've heard before- and caused me to

understand why Dr. Goldberg's treatments likely help as well as they do.

The book itself doesn't really describe 'treatments' but helps the

reader understand what is going on much more clearly on a 'cellular'

level, and how this entire 'cascade' within the immune system, nitric

oxide, mitochondrial damage takes place and 'why' many of the

different symptoms tied to this 'dysregulation' occurs within this

illness.

For myself- whom has CFS/ADHD; I'm really pleased by this book. It

isn't too difficult to read, the doctor is quite funny, it is very

informative, and gave me a lot of hope reading it. I feel like I'm

more informed on what is occurring after reading this book than I ever

have been before.

Since it is likely the same process that is occurring in Autism (which

he does mention in one part) it 'should' fit right in with what is

occurring with people within the Autism spectrum as well.

Another thing- I'm not sure I've seen discussed on this board is how

'smells' and chemicals can REALLY set this condition off.

I have come to find that cleaning products, perfumes, pollution,

petroleum based products, etc., ETC- affect me 'EVEN MORE' than eating

the inappropriate foods on the diet list. They likely cause an

immune reaction, and a Nitric Oxide cascade, activating cytokines in

the body, thus limiting the energy production of the mitochondria of

the cells, and causing inflammation to take place within the blood

vessels throughout the body.

That has been a HUGE factor in my illness. I haven't posted on here

because I've spent most of my time trying to switch to natural

cleaning products, replacing soaps, shampoos, etc. with organic, all

natural, non-scented products. I'm also trying to use air purifiers

that have activated carbon in them to adsorb a lot of the chemicals,

fumes, gases in the air. Chemical fumes from carpeting, glass

cleaner, news-paper make me so ill it will put me down in bed for DAYS

on end!!! 'IF' I can really get away for all the chemicals, smells

and allergens that bother me, I 'BEGIN' to literally feel like a new

person. My thinking becomes MUCH clearer, my energy increases, I feel

MUCH, MUCH less depressed, I feel 'alive.'

I'm looking into possibly moving to a location with much less

pollution, less allergens in the air, etc.

What I like is this books also talks about how 'MULTIPLE CHEMICAL

SENSITIVITIES' are ALSO often a major problem with this illness.

I've come to learn through my own research that people whom have

'Neuroimmune' hypoperfusion are often bothered by chemicals, smells,

fumes, gases, etc. as well. People who have 'Chemical sensitivities'

likely are affected by these artificial chemicals due to a previous

infection in the past which has caused the immune system to become

overactive and dysregulated. The added burden of chemicals, fumes,

etc., just continues to press on the 'gas pedal' of immune

dysregulation.

SO- I just want to let a LOT of mothers and people know that 'IF' you

are ANYTHING like myself- (I've been diagnosed with via SPECT

scan hypoperfusion and tests, and see Dr. )- THE WRONG SMELLS

AND ARTIFICIAL

CHEMICALS/CLEANERS/FUMES/POLLUTION ARE CAUSING EITHER 'YOU' OR YOUR

'CHILD' A LOT OF ADDED STRESS ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM YOU MIGHT HAVE NOT

EVEN BEEN AWARE OF BEFORE. For me personally- not getting rid of the

smells and chemical cleaners affects me 2-3 times as much as eating

dairy, whole wheat, sugar, etc. There really is little comparison,

things in the air make me MUCH sicker.

Perhaps if you're like me- 'this' is an avenue that many of you

haven't taken a lot of time to look down- which if you did it could

provide SIGNIFICANT relief from you or your child's immune system in

addition to the treatments.

Thanks,
