RE: Multiple System Atrophy The Putative Causative Role of Environmen tal

Maybe one day Jerry we'll know what has cause this awful illness. We can only hope. We always seem to find out things when it's to late. Not enough study before something is used.

There is a dump in West Covina that they put toxins in, it took years before they got it closed. Many of the people who lived around it came down with some kind of cancer. Many were children. Can only wonder what it did to the water and the ground around there, but will we ever really know? Sometimes not everything always comes out.

Take Care

Vera, I have also suspected that pesticides are the cause of my brother's illness -- probably combined with a genetic pre-disposition of some sort. My brother had his house exterminated for termite infestation about 10 to 15 years ago and since it was a tri-level, a good part of their living quarters was below grade level where the chemicals were heaviest. I have always suspected that the pest person used one of pesticides (not sure which) that is now banned. In addition, their property was bordered on all sides by corn fields where they regularly applied aersolized pesticides by helicopter.

Jerry,

Remember they studied 100 patients and only found 11 that had been heavily

exposed to chemicals and those were several different types of toxins. I'm not

sure I would classify that as " a definite role " . I have had quite a bit of

exposure to petrochemicals over the 40 years I worked around them and Charlotte

was never exposed to them OR herbicides OR insecticides. I was also the one who

handled that sort of thing at home. P.S. I was also exposed to radiation at Oak

Ridge, TN.

Take care, Bill Werre

Greetings Bill,

I would also concur. In the developed world over the past 50 years, 10%

is probably a fairly typical number for exposure to toxins. So, I doubt

it is no different than the normal population.
