Some Examples of Autoimmune Processes *

Vietnam Vets should be suspect for exposure to
EGBE in jet fuel & mixed with the dioxin mixtures
'for sure' things that they came down
with (not dioxin caused):
Soft
tissue sarcomas *
Non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma
Hodgkin's
disease
& even skin cancer is on the list of
possible harm / brain tumors?
Are any types of skin cancer are considered to
be soft tissue sarcomas?

diseases of the skin |
- Are DFSP
autoimmune?
- Pemphigus vulgaris. A
group of autoimmune disorders that affect the skin.
- Eczema
|
| Polyarteritis
Nodosa (PAN) |
Polyarteritis
nodosa is a rare autoimmune disease (immune system attacking
its own body) characterized by spontaneous inflammation of the
arteries (arteritis) of the body. Because arteries are
involved, the disease can affect any organ of the body. The
most common areas of involvement include the muscles, joints,
intestines (bowels), nerves, kidneys, and skin. Poor function
or pain in any of these organs can be a symptom. Poor blood
supply to the bowels can cause abdominal pain, local bowel
death, and bleeding. Fatigue, weight loss, and fever are
common.

| Felty's Syndrome? |
A
combination of rheumatoid arthritis, splenomegaly, leukopenia,
pigmented spots on lower extremities, and other evidence of
hypersplenism (anemia and thrombocytopenia). (From Dorland,
27th ed) |
| Scleroderma
- The Autoimmune Response in
Scleroderma. A
Key Discovery ... Hopkins University is related to
the autoimmune response in scleroderma |
Scleroderma
is not a single disease but is a symptom of a group
of diseases complicated by the abnormal growth of connective
tissue which supports the skin and internal
organs.
Disorders
often associated with scleroderma
include autoimmune diseases, CFS, fibromyalgia, interstial
cystitis, leukemia, MCTD, multiple sclerosis...

| Scleroderma.
Also called CREST syndrome or progressive systemic sclerosis |
Scleroderma
affects the connective tissue. Scleroderma is a serious,
progressive disease that affects the skin and connective
tissue (including cartilage, bone, fat, and the tissue that
supports the nerves and blood vessels throughout the body). |
| Pyoderma
Gangrenosum. A rare auto immune disorder
"Many years ago I was
told I had so much inflammation in my body that it was
actually seen in my blood as well! Also I have thyroid
and anemia problems."

I suddenly
developed a tiny pimple on my forehead that itched. The next
day I woke up and under my eyes were black and blue and my
eyes were slits!
It was diagnosed as a benign
tumor, that never went away and turned into an opened ulcer.
My skin turns beat red and burns like fire. Sweating from
inflammation! I developed this huge ulcerated sore on my
forehead. I have asthma; Osteo in back and knees
They don't know what step to
take next but it can affect your vitals.

- Pyoderma Gangrenosum : Article by J Mark Jackson, MD http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic367.htm
"It seems to be an
occurrence with those who have an inflammatory systemic
illness.
All of the one's you mentioned above are correct except for
IBS. IBS is not an inflammatory bowel disease. But Crohn's
disease is."

| immune mediated
synovitis |
In its general use
the term "immune mediated" in front of the
description of an illness, such as immune mediated synovitis
or immune mediated hemolytic anemia, means that the immune
system is inappropriately causing a disease process |
| What
is Bullous pemphigoid ? * |
Bullous pemphigoid
is thought to occur because IgG immunoglobulins (antibodies)
and activated T lymphocytes (white blood cells) attack
components of the basement membrane, particularly proteins
associated with the hemidesmosomes. The proteins are within
the NC16A domain of collagen XVII. Hemidesmosomes ensure the
epidermal keratinocyte cells stick to the dermis to make a
waterproof seal. The ‘autoimmune’ reaction to these
proteins can be thought of as a type of allergy to one's own
skin.
In many patients, skin
antibodies can also be detected circulating in the blood
stream (positive indirect immunofluorescence). |

Is
Morgellan's Disease Autoimmune?
High
frequency in TX and CA |
Morgellan's
Disease, which sounds
like bad science fiction-- little fibers extending from the
victims' skin, pain, crawling sensations, psychological
disturbances, with no known cause and no cure in sight. Isn't
thought to be contagious. Half of those diagnosed also
have Lyme Disease (which is often the same symptoms as
2-butoxyethanol poisoning) Linked to Chem-Trails?
Do
they also have these symptoms?

| Fibromyalgia,
CFS, CFIDS
Any have this
underlying other issues? These
symptoms?
|
"There is
increasing recognition that FM and CFS may be autoimmune in
nature." Dr.
David Moskowitz ("symptoms of CFS and FM most
resemble the flu")
|
Many
things are autoimmune
|
"Examples
of autoimmune disorders or diseases with an autoimmune component
are:
Crohn's, Lupus, Diabetes, Endometriosis, Psoriasis,
Ulcerative colitis, Myxodema,
Multiple Sclerosis,
* Parkinson's,
Scleroderma, Fibromyalgia, Hashimotos, Grave's, Allergies."

| 2-butoxyethanol
is an autoimmune causing chemical - It could be suspect for
any or all of the above; but if so, the one autoimmune 'FOR
SURE' would be Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia ... with too much
direct exposure. It has been 'hiding
out' for 3/4s of a century. I suspect that
many things that are thought to be genetic - are actually a
chemical poisoning of someone in the family line.
Suspect it for
causing CFS,
CFIDS, FM, ME - Check
more on the Red Blood Cells |

| There is a
chemical that causes most of the CFS, 'CFIDS' and 'gulf war
syndrome' (which happens to other military & civilians
alike)
Which
causes the following in Central Nervous System
damage:
short term memory loss
Difficulty concentrating
Extreme irritability
Sleeplessness
CNS Depression
Suicidal Tendencies
It is
this chemical
Have you checked into mirtazapine?
In a very low dose, it can help with depression; but also help
with sleep. It is supposed to help someone who used it,
told me so, anyway. See what your doctor thinks
Do you remember what you were
doing when 'the fatigue' hit? Often it would be like the
flu, but it is not the flu
