I've heard that flax
seed oil is helpful for brain function ... because it
is completely natural and is a polyunsaturated oil.
It has several bonds free to help in removing toxins,
etc. Maybe would help with children's
learning disabilities, too. Just take 1
tsp - 1 Tbls per day. You can buy it from a
health food store.
In a solvent study
article, I found a
list of symptoms that can occur after exposure to
too much of any chemical. It is good to keep in mind,
because many times, if we realized it was a symptom of
such, we would react differently in "what to do
about it' In other words we would look for what
chemical &... removing that exposure, vs treating
the 'symptom' Here's
an example (someone sharing about a cough that
won't quit and rashes)
It's amazing how
similar your ailments are similar to the 'gulf war
syndrome' symptoms. Have any of you given any
thought to that?
Symptoms
of Gulf War Illnesses (according
to the American Legion)
-
Chronic
Fatigue
-
Signs
and symptoms involving skin (including skin rashes
and unusual hair loss)
-
Headache
-
Muscle
pain
-
Neurological
signs or symptoms (nervous system disorders which
could manifest themselves in numbness in one's
arms or legs, for instance)
-
Neuropsychological
signs or symptoms (including memory loss)
-
Signs
or symptoms involving upper or lower respiratory
system
-
Sleep
disturbances
-
Gastrointestinal
signs or symptoms (including recurrent diarrhea
and constipation)
-
Cardiovascular
signs or symptoms
-
Menstrual
disorders
Here's
a helps list
that I wrote for these, but you may find it helpful,
too It allows you a format to list out your
symptoms and give your doctor a better overview of all
that you are dealing with. I suspect the same
thing that the 'gulf war syndrome' vets have.
The chemical exposure they have that is common to the
public, too. It causes CNS damage and it
'mimics' true psychiatric disorder.
I wouldn't wait until
Feb. Could you call a doctor you have seen in
the State you live in, and ask that you get a couple
of preliminary tests? Like a urinalysis to check
for trace blood in urine, and for a blood test in
which you want to know if the red blood cells are
immature. Tell the doc you want to
track the rate at which new red blood cells are being
made. That you want to know whether or not
there is acquired autoimmune hemolytic anemia going
on. Ask if you can have a copy of these, and
then set up an apt First of Feb to review the results.
Certainly you would be saving time and money if you
had some results back at your appointment time.
Just wondering, do
you remember a time when your eyes burned like hot
pokers were in them, you had dark urine, flu-like
symptoms, sudden onset of high or low blood sugar or
blood pressure AND a Horrible Fatigue that you still
have?
