Re: FMS & CFS -- conspiracy theory, anyone?- YEP, I think so

[Guest guest]

This is an AMAZING article. I saved to my favorites on the pc. It makes

perfect since.

I have often wondered if this crap we have did not come from something mankind

has done or resulted from some technological developments that are leaving

behind something that is making us ill.

Why the hell are more people not aware of this? Well, just thinking to

myself, " probably because the government wants us to shut up about it " ....

hmmmmmmm

Thanks,

hugs,

" Chronic fatigue syndrome is more accurately called myalgic

encephalomyelitis. The chronic fatigue syndrome nomenclature was

given by the US National Institutes of Health because it wanted to

downgrade and belittle the disease.

An MRI scan of the brain of a teenage girl with chronic fatigue

syndrome displayed a great many scars or punctate lesions in the left

frontal lobe area where portions of the brain had literally dissolved

and been replaced by scar tissue. This caused cognitive impairment,

memory impairment, etc. And what was the cause of the scarring? The

mycoplasma. So there is very concrete physical evidence of these

tragic diseases, even though doctors continue to say they don't know

where it comes from or what they can do about it.

" Many people with chronic fatigue syndrome, myalgic encephalo-

myelitis and fibromyalgia who apply to the Canada Pensions Plan

Review Tribunal will be turned down because they cannot prove that

they are ill. During 1999 I conducted several appeals to Canada

Pensions and the Workers Compensation Board (WCB, now the Workplace

Safety and Insurance Board) on behalf of people who have been turned

down. I provided documented evidence of these illnesses, and these

people were all granted their pensions on the basis of the evidence

that I provided.

In March 1999, for example, I appealed to the WCB on behalf of a lady

with fibromyalgia who had been denied her pension back in 1993. The

vice-chairman of the board came to Sudbury to hear the appeal, and I

showed him a number of documents which proved that this lady was

physically ill with fibromyalgia. It was a disease that caused

physical damage, and the disease agent was a mycoplasma. The guy

listened for three hours, and then he said to me: " Mr , how is

it I have never heard of any of this before? I said: " We brought a

top authority in this area into Sudbury to speak on this subject and

not a single solitary doctor came to that presentation. "

we've ever had about our disease, can be found at

not only that, but i looked up 'brucella', and just look at all these

symptoms:

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000597.htm

sound familiar?

i used to be a farmer, and when brucellosis got into a herd, it was a

big deal--the whole herd would have to be put down to avoid the

possibility of spreading the disease to neighboring herds. we called

it undulant fever. the vet would come in every now and then to give

vaccinations against it.

and more people are not aware of it because as the writer of the

original article pointed out, the medical community is just not

interested in a disease unless it's 'hot', like AIDS, chicken flu

( " we're all going to DIE!! " ) and other diseases that raise scads of

money in telethons.

and remember, no one believed in Gulf War Syndrome for the longest

time either, because the consequences of admitting it were just too

embarrassing for the government.

until we get a sexy figurehead, like Fox promoting research

into a cure for parkinson's, we're doomed to flounder in this no

man's land of 'garbage can dx'.
