Hi snoshoe
This is brilliant information - i need to read all of it in much more detail and
study it when I have a bit more time and am feelng well enough to use the
computer for longer - I read Marie's story - it almost mirrors mine - except I
was given the dustbin diagnosis of ME/CFS and then left to take care of myself -
it was only when I morphed into ES and experienced what Marie describes of
electric current running up and down my body in the most frightening of ways
that i began to find out what was really wrong with me. Thanks a million for
doing this research and posting this.
best wishes
Steph

Subject: [eSens] Inflammation Connection
Hi all, tired out, but if I don't get this up now, it may not happen as I'm
pretty busy the next couple weeks, or I'll forget something by then.
I said some time ago I was working up a theory. -
Inflammation Connection
Besides our need to get heavy metals, etc. out of our bodies, repair myelin
sheath,
remineralize, limit radiation exposure, I believe we need to manage
inflammation.
I know many of us are taking things that help reduce that, such as turmeric,
vit. D, etc.
I think however we would do well to work towards some kind of loose formula that
actually
controls the symptomatic problems, especially for the problems in our heads.
While continuing to endevor getting well, some symptom relief would be wonderful
don't you think? I also believe it would help speed healing.
I've found that not only do these metals in the brain change the electrical
charge and rate of
neuron firing, but it truly is inflammatory, such as with cytokines.
Take a look at some of the links below. (A large part of my problem was caused
by inhaling through the nose mercury vapor from having a filling drilled and
improperly removed. I didn't learn till too late that this causes it to go
directly to the brain, and I would've been better off breathing through my mouth
had I known.) These first couple links talk about that pathway, and going in not
just through the regular routes, but the nerve pathways as well. -
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/10/02/gis-brains-fried-by-military-dispensed-nose-candy/Radioactive uranium that is inhaled by soldiers on the battlefield and by
workers in factories may bypass the brain's protective barrier by following
nerves from the nose directly to the brain.
Nerves can act as a unique conduit, carrying inhaled uranium from the nose
directly to the brain, finds a study with rats. Once in the brain, the uranium
may affect task and decision-related types of thinking.
This study provides yet another example of how some substances can use the
olfactory system – bypassing the brain's protective blood barrier – to go
directly to the brain. Titanium nanoparticles and the metals manganese, nickel,
and thallium have been shown to reach the brain using the same route.

Finally, to determine if TiO2 exposure caused chemical changes in the brain, the
authors measured levels of certain molecules called cytokines that indicate
increased inflammation and cell stress.

mine.)

http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/health/autism/vit-D-and-brain.shtml
...Both the brain and the blood of autistic individuals show evidence of ongoing
chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. That is, the autistic disease process
is progressive and probably increasingly destructive. If this ongoing
inflammation could be interrupted, the symptoms might improve. Hope for a
vitamin D treatment effect lies in activated vitamin D's powerful
anti-inflammatory properties. Its administration decreases production of
inflammatory cytokines in the brain, which have consistently been associated
with brain impairment.
Besides reducing inflammatory cytokines, vitamin D does one more thing: it
increases concentrations of glutathione—the brain's master antioxidant. ...
...Vitamin D's role in increasing glutathione levels may explain the link
between mercury and other heavy metals, oxidative stress, and autism. For
example, activated vitamin D lessens heavy metal induced oxidative injuries in
rat brain. The primary route for brain toxicity of most heavy metals is through
depletion of glutathione...
---------------------
If anyone gets into trying a combination of antiinflammatories, please keep
track of your combination, approx. doses, and let us all know!
I also found a couple months back that the amino acid glycine is
antiinflammatory to the hippocampus - short term memory, and mine surely needs
help, but I have to figure a good dose.
Also GABA - good article here on that, and it does make me feel calmer:

Glucocorticoids help close the blood brain barrier, and has anyone been on these
and noticed a difference, (cortizone allergy shot for instance) or nsaids even?
Natural alternatives I think would be better, but GC's are a starting place to
close what is opened by emf.

Important Differences Between Synthetic and Natural Glucocorticoids
What else do any of you use for inflammation?
I also use bromelain and yucca, besides vit. D, gaba, and now the glycine, and
histidine.I just need to figure out a dose/combination I think.
