IM DESPERATE..... this is not a life, its hell all day long, the longest, most agonising death you can imagine, every day, for decades, Im in crisis all day every day, running for my life, severely allergic, dirt, grass, trees - severe reaction, very bad mcs so if anybody comes anywhere near me severe body pain, become very weak, often fall down, knives in my stomach, immediate migraine, one small exposure affects me for hours, cant go into shops, buildings, peoples homes or cars. My home made me so sick I abandoned that years ago. Diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, went to a support group meeting and passed out. I cant go near people or into buildings. I have been living in an old well taken care of car and mostly outside for over 3 years the pain is SO bad when I go inside. cfs, mcs people offered me a room but even in their places at best I would fall down with the worst case of the flu and couldnt move or (Im sure it was the paint on their walls) it would burn my nerves so I was screaming in pain. It seems to attack the nerves inside my nose first, then my whole face, head caves in, like knives, being stabbed in the head, then lights up all the other nerves in my body and Im screaming in pain. Sometimes it feels like a plastic bag over my brain. At other times like Im standing in a fire, all my tissue is being burnt. HELP! Food allergies as a child undiagnosed and untreated. Had never heard of anything like food allergies & had disinterested parents. Im 49. 17 yrs ago contacted ross river, glandular fever, barvon forest, kept on working, pushed on through, I dont get sick but the pain was unbearable. Took 10 yrs for fibromyalgia diagnosis, the key then was seratonin so trialled all the antidepressants. Of course, only 1/2 tab would cripple me in pain for days. Used to be locked up, muscles like concrete, physio at the pain clinic said I had the worst bound up thorasic shed ever seen but life got much worse when the chemical sensitivities kicked in 5 years ago. Cant understand how dumb I am for not recognising how much worse the pain was when I ate. Ive tried different diets, supplements, herbs, fms drugs, my hormone count is nil so to supplement hormones - everything made me ILL!!! as ill as ill as you could ever feel THE PAIN! Anything that passes by my lips, it seems like all food and inhalants.... Hair analysis says ca, mg, most metals poisoning my tissues, sulfur, zinc, c, e, efas deficient, anemic due to cu poisoning. Blood levels show high lead, ca. Brain scan shows very advanced calcium blocked arteries & depression of course & small aneurism. I have a lot of trouble breathing but its the smell of everything.... if it blocks my nose and caves in my head then Im in real trouble. The fatigue is unbearable and indescribable but of course I cant sleep because of the pain. Theres not much I can eat. My adrenals have failed. I dont make any cortisol. My thyroid is sluggish but not bad enough to need any medication. Blood tests show first signs of kidney problems. I take MS contin - just 1 a day, I hate drugs but Id jump off a bridge, & I have to take the cortisol to replace what Im not making which hasnt done a lot to help & asthma med. to try to make up for my deficiencies Take B, C, E, zinc, iron, enzymes, probiotics, b6, p5p, selenium, Im really low in potassium so that, niacin & gingko because my circulation is so bad, couple of things to help me detox, nac, carnosine, for energy; acetyl l carnitine, beta glucan, used to take anything that was supposed to be an immune support. phosphatidylcholine and flaxseed oil. the being sulfur & enzyme deficient & not being able to absorb proteins, I have degenerated/bulging discs, viruses & metal poisoning, this theory sounded good - I thought this was it but protein powders make me ill & increasing my protein & enzyme intake hasnt made any difference. Have you heard of anything like this? Paper makes me ill. Of course, electricity makes me ill, mobile phones, computers. I cant study your web page because of the electricity. Im in more pain and lose any ability to comprehend anything. My doctor is suggesting brain inflammation is responsible for the wrong gating information about all the smells etc and pushing me to take lyrica to slow down the nerve impulses. Of course, it put me in great pain. Do you have any advice for me?

This is where perfumes and strong chemical smells can make you very ill. I have no problem with going out into the sun. I do however have to stay at home a lot because the people and places in the world are all full of FRAGRANCE. Perfume, cologne, aftershave lotion, hair spray and gel, cosmetics, bath products, shampoo, deodorant, laundry products, room and carpet freshener, scented candles, cleaning chemicals, dry cleaning odors, paint, new carpeting and upholstery, the glue used to put down tiles and carpeting, and on and on and on, ad nauseum, all gang up on me and make me feel I'm going to die. Do you have any ideas about that kind of sensitivity?

The problem is the cause is known and they continue to name these condition again based on appearances. However, my own classification system in naming the disease is based on triggering factors, then how that triggering factors causes this, and what is present when it does happen. It sounds like a mouthful, but I simply called it photosensitivity induced by chemicals or chemical photosensitivity. Another type is induced by fungus leading to photosensitivity from the mycotoxins present in our food supply from peanuts, potatoes, wheat products, moldy bread, moldy houses, vegetarian foods, etc. Whichever the cause, mycotoxins induces an immune suppression, which triggers autoimmunity, again a misnomer to keep us off the track in finding proper remedies! Autoimmunity is often the result of fungus (such as the U.S. military patent mycoplasma now found in vaccines) attached to cells causing white blood cells to attack our own cells. The chemical induced photosensitivity triggers two major events, one is to cause liver autotoxification or simply liver congestion, and lowered immunity of the body in general, where localized photosensitivity takes hold in area in which the oinment was applied. Eventually it may spread if the condition was ignored in some cases. So the opportunistic infections occurs causing skin rashes in that area, where a fungus takes hold of that area to form colonies. I have seen this quite often in localized photosensitivity in lupus people and the remedy was treatment of liver and reduction of fungus by borax remedy and alkalization using either baking soda or carbicarb remedy. I always suspected that based on skin condition of photosensitivity is often fungus opportunistic infection where deficiencies and toxicity were usually from vaccination, dietary, that triggers immune suppression. As a case study humans are not unique in photosensitivity, but our present medical system of overspecialization prevents us from knowing that veterinary medicine always knew the cause of photosensitivity based on their autopsy studies in animals. Therefore in real life case example, this also happens in kangaroos raised domestically and were dying from an unknown source. The diagnosis was photosensitivity, never mind about fancy names such as Poikiloderma of Civatte! lol. Therefore the kangaroos had to avoid the sun, but other symptoms were apparent, just like humans, lost of fur (sounds like alopecia), opalisation of the eyes (sounds like cataracts in humans), ear problem (ringing of the ears?), skin rashes, dry flaky skin begin to fall off, oozing pus (also found in lupus of humans), for example. The Kangaroos had to be put to sleep and an autopsy were performed and revealed liver damage. The cause came from the use of ORBENIN ointment (found to cause liver damage in human studies), hence the triggering factors inducing photosensitivity. They cured one kangaroos with vitamin B injections but other Kangaroos eventually died and vitamin B complex were not helped because there were other triggering factors, which were again traced to fungus found in Signal grasses. The problem is that domestically raise animals don't survive well because they were given limited choice of the food for them to graze (and to think we eat domestically raised animals!), apparently Signal grasses contain high amounts of fungus, which contains mycotoxins. In my opinion both chemical oinments enters transdermally and damages the liver which causes the body to be photosensitive. Once the immune system is lowered because of low immunity, especially localized skin area, fungus opportunistic infection sets in in areas where fungus love - the areas where you get most of the moisture for them to grow - the neck and chest area, for example. People might wonder how photosensitivity occurs if the liver is damaged. The reason is really simple: the liver is the organ to detoxify, and if there is damage, the liver cannot detoxify to toxins accumulate and the body can no longer absorb the toxins and leave the toxins where the source was applied causing that skin area to be toxic leading to chemical photosensitivity. Obviously a skin preparation to detoxify these are possible with a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution mixed with a saturated amount of borax to that skin area. This is neutralization of chemical toxicity in the skin area by oxidation. The remedy therefore appears obvious. I would detoxify the liver, kill off the localized fungus, and reduced the inflammation of the skin, and avoid mycotoxins and fungus from food and environment.The only thing this remedy won't help is discoloration of the skin from chemical toxins in which conventional therapies would do fine. To reduce the chemical photosensitivity or fungus photosensitivity I would probably take 1 tablespoon of granulated lecithin before meals three times a day, take some 10 drops of 3% H2O2 food grade in a glass of water, mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda twice or three times a day. Skin problems in reduction of inflammation is helped mostly with omega 3 fish oil, not cod liver oil, usually once a day. There's a difference. Some evening primrose oil 1000 mg. taken three or four times a week. Vitamin B complex will also help restore some liver function such as B50 or B100 once every other day. Other supplements include milk thistle, for example. However most of my the problems appear to helped is the carbicarb remedy, which is 1/4 teaspoon of sodium carbonate and 1/4 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in 1 glass of water (if some people have problems of too much water, then 1/2 glass at least). It is taken twice a day, if possible and can also be taken at home early and late evening if it is inconvenient, and also promotes sleep as it has an alkalizing effect on the brain and skin areas. Increase alkalization will reduce both skin inflammations and fungus opportunistic infection that occurs often are localized. Taking a bath with borax or the use of borax remedy also has antifungal properties and are often synergistic with the alkalizing remedy, where the borax I used can be 1/8 teaspoon dissolved in one liter of drinking water taken 4 days out of a week. Skin condition will lessen at least from my experience of some sodium ascorbate vitamin C, 200 i.u. of vitamin E, 25,000 i.u.Vitamin A, and fish oil having omega 3 (DHA and EPA) were most helpful. It takes about 2-3 weeks for rashes to notice some reduction. However if the skin is always moist or that the body is generally is moist often supports opportunistic fungus and some zinc gluconate 50 mg, twice a week can reduce some excessive oils and reduce moisture from the skin, but also I have found 1000 mcg of chromium polynicontinate to be helpful too, at least the reduction in blood sugar to more normal levels from chromium were helpful. To round off everything a once a week or twice a week mulitvitamins and minerals I think is more than sufficient then taking everyday. I prefer liquid vitamins and softgel capsules because liquid version were more bioavailable than the tablet version because they sometimes cannot be dissolved in the stomach and sometimes the tricalcium phosphate and waxy magensium stearate prevent their absorption. Certain foods, especially needs to be avoided that are high in mycotoxins and are very acid foming, in particular is wheat products, dairy products, and high mycotoxin foods, which are peanuts, potatoes, all sweet products, vegetable oils used in cooking and high temperatures, common table salt, mushrooms, all yeast products, peppermint oil found in toothpaste. The other thing I found in UK to cause some liver damage is the fluoride and chlorine found in the drinking water. Therefore reverse osmosis water with added 1/4 teaspoon sea salt plus 1/4 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate in one liter of drinking water were most helpful, especially if kept overnight (it's the ORMUS effect, or superconductivity of monoatomic elements that is why it was kept overnight) which helps strenghten the immune systems. Again it is quite difficult to cover every aspect of photosensitivity, but it is often induced by chemical and fungus, and hence detoxification of chemicals by hydrogen peroxide, lecithin, and sea salt for example is possible, and the fungus photosensitivity can be reduced with antifungal remedies such as borax, hydrogen peroxide, fungus products (yeast, mushrooms, peanuts), avoiding sweet foods and sour foods, as well as chromium to reduce blood sugar are some possibilities. Obviously the major organs we need to protect is the liver where both mycotoxins from fungus and chemicals is what damages the liver. Ted P.S. As a footnote, some people are taking diuretics which causes depletion of potassium as a result the sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate isn't going to work unless 1/8 or 1/16 teaspoon of potassium citrate or potassium bicarbonate was added everytime the remedy is used. I suspect magnesium may be low too whenever electrolytes are imbalanced and some magnesium citrate supplements such as 250 mg on a weekly basis. "
