Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 Katrina You bring up an interesting thought here. My knowledge in this is limited, but growing day by day. " Terrain " is something that has been mentioned to me before and is in my estimation something serious to consider. It would seem to me to be more logical that given the individuality of the terrain, different things would factor into the whole picture of the cfids/fm illness. Manifesting in the large variety of symptoms and effective/ not so effective treatments. We have a cousin, a retired electrical engineer, who is currently studying to be a naturopath. I respect his thoughts and ideas, he is a very smart man. He has mentioned to me before the idea of " the terrain " and his present suggestions are centered around cell salt therapy. At least at our last conversation. I've not been able to get down to see him to have him do the testing. Another thought, my first encounter with the flu like aching that pretty much expresses how I feel all the time now, began the evening of the day I was stung by a wasp. I've been stung since then with no detectable increase in symptoms. But that one incident seemed to set the course to where I am today. Next visit with my Dr. will entail discussion about recent labs taken to determine toxins, infections etc. I'm anxious to see what that produces. As for EMF's, I have a hard time making the connection between that one influence being the sole cause of our illnesses. I do think it plays a part, but there are too many variables for it to be the one cause. Not that my uneducated opinion matters one bit in the grand scheme of things. It just seems to be too simplistic an answer to a too complex problem. Anyway, does anyone else have an experience with insect bites other than the tick that seems to be at the start of symptoms? Diane in MI Re: The Connection Between Microwaves and Oxidative Stress - and / ...Dr. Cheney told me he spent years chasing bugs (and using pharmaceuticals). Now, he is focused more on " the terrain " of the body. And Neutraceuticals, which are powerful, but more gentle. This is also an age-old question in Science/Medicine Bugs vs. Terrain.... .... Quote
