Guest guest Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Mold, MSH and the cytokine cascade. " MSH sits as the central hub of a series of important effects. MSH controls hypothalamic production of melatonin and endor- phins. Without MSH, deficiency creates chronic non-restful sleep and chronic increased perception of pain, respectively. MSH deficiency causes chronic fatigue and chronic pain. MSH also controls many protective effects in the skin, gut and mucus membranes of the nose and lung. It also controls the peripheral release of cytokines; when there isn't enough MSH, the peripheral inflammatory effects are multiplied. MSH also controls pituitary function, with 60% of MSH deficient patients not having enough antidiuretic hormone. " I was looking up some info on Shoemaker's new book " Mold Warriors " for a friend, and came across this interesting FAQ on a hormone called MSH, which he says is often depleted in PWC's. I'm going to go clean my moldy (well not too moldy) bathtub, but thought you all might find this interesting. I wonder if anyone amongst us has found decent, low-cost(!) treatments for mold, both environmentally, and internally? http://www.moldwarriors.com/msh-info.htm Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
