Anyone have
gout? ... in addition to the
commonly held belief that gout is caused
from eating too much meat and rich foods
... or from gluttony ... could there be
another cause?
Is there another reason besides diet &
exercise (or the lack of proper diet &
exercise) for the
epidemic of
obesity and diabetes in our
country in recent years? Yes. And that's
my point
I'm not saying it is the ONLY cause. I
am saying that the proliferation of
n-butyl ethers ... in particular the
ethylene glycol monobutyl ethers since
the 1930s is causing the epidemic. I
would consider extreme exposure to
2-butoxyethanol or diethylene glycol
monobutyl ether ... capable of causing a
lot of
autoimmune
issues, in particular,

Is Lou Gehrig's or ALS Autoimmune?

In
autoimmune hemolytic anemia,
the body produces
autoantibodies to red blood
cell membrane proteins. (size?
shape RBCs?)
In diabetes mellitus,
autoantibodies are formed
against insulin receptors.
Graves 's disease is
associated with
autoantibodies to thyroid
stimulating hormone (TSH)
receptors.
Pernicious anemia can
be caused when
autoantibodies are formed
against intrinsic factor
which is needed for vitamin
B12 absorption.
Researchers have proposed
that ALS may have an
autoimmune basis.
The following are the bases
for their hypotheses:

Analyses of ALS
patient sera
have identified
circulating
antibodies
secreted by
denervated
muscle. These
antibodies
inhibit the
stimulation of
the sprouting of
axons, the long
arms of neurons
which conduct
nervous impulses
to other neurons
throughout the
body (Onion
1998).
Researchers have
found an
immunoglobulin
that affects the
conductance of
neuronal
voltage-activated
calcium channels
which may induce
an excessive
release of
glutamate from
nerve endings
(Onion 1998).
Several studies
of ALS patients
found the
presence of
antibodies that
interact with
motor neurons (Pestronk
et al. 1988a;
Pestronk et al.
1988b; Pestronk
et al. 1989;
Niebroj-Dobosz
et al. 1999).
Immune complexes
have been found
in spinal cords
of patients with
ALS.
It has been
proposed that T
cells, activated
microglia, and
immunoglobulin G
(IgG) within the
spinal cord
lesions may be
the primary
event that leads
to tissue
destruction in
ALS. |

Could there be a
glyconutrient trial for ALS?
Nasopharyngeal cancer?
NPC?
Margaret,
Any of those would be
possible or even a
combination of those. The
main factors are finding
patients that have the
specific disease, can afford
the treatment and who can
come to the clinics to be
part of the study. I know we
are in the works on some
good trials but it always
comes down to these
circumstances.
Let me know what you think.

Could there be a

IF SOME
SOURCE PROVIDED
THE FUNDS, A
NEEDED PROJECT.

I think
that this would be the
prima-dona health ailment
for someone with a LOT of
exposure to 2-butoxyethanol
... and this group would
benefit also from
glyconutrients - to help the
immune system work properly
& stop attacking them.
There is also a lady
whose husband was a fuel
handler in the military
... she has come down
with
nasopahryngeal cancer
NPC
... one of the ailments
for the Vietnam vets
