Hi again, Ian,

Thanks so much for your great info re triggers! Gees, if I could have gotten ES, I should have after my car accident, 7 years ago. The Xray tech didn't know what she was doing and gave me the equivalent of 90 Xrays, according to my chiropractor. Great info to know re the triggers; I will have to imprint it on my forehead. (Only half joking.)

And I do agree with you about this group of illnesses. They definitely seem to have a defining line that seems to link them all. I think it is the compromised tight junctions that cause this, personally, from what I have read. I think alot of research in this area might uncover many reasons for compromized tight junctions and it certainly wouldn't be too soon in coming. I do think we will see a concerted effort in this area within the next 5 years, tho.

My best to all,
Happy holidays,
Diane

Sorry, I wasn't sufficiently clear. By "chronically ill" I meant the group
of mysterious hard-to-diagnose illnesses which you quote - CFS/ME, MCS, FMS,
celiac disease, IBS and Crohns, and ES. . There doesn't seem to be a group
name for these, but I am increasingly convinced they are all linked as a
family. I agree it doesn't apply to the ones with other clear causes e.g.
heart disease, lung cancer, etc.etc.

As for mobile/cell phones, I believe that they are OK as long as they are
kept permanently switched off and only used in an emergency like the car
breaking down. The brief exposure one gets from using it then should
hopefully not be significant. My impression is that "triggers" that people
have reported have either been prolonged low-level exposure (working for
weeks/months/years with mobiles/DECT cordless phones/computers) or a brief
high-level burst (CAT scan, Oberon, severe X-ray overdose).

Ian
