Re: Genetic/environmental causes of MAs

[Guest guest]

Kirsten,

I don't have any actual info about studies and such, but I have

often wondered about the environmental link myself. I have UD and

there doesn't seem to be anyone in my family (and my extended family

is HUGE) that has any MA-type issues.

When my mom was PG with me (late 60's), she worked at a vineyard

that was heavily air-sprayed with DDT. In addition to that, she

told me she was ADDICTED to a particular type of grape that they

grew and ate literally " crates " of the stuff. Those two factors

make me wonder, as DDT has subsequently been shown to be so damaging

and has been banned. Anyway, I'd be interested to know if there is

actually anything in the way of research out there.

That is an interesting thought. I had a septum, resected in January. I

always thought of it as having the equivalent of a cleft palate or club

foot. Think about all of the cells that have to come together to make a

human. It is truly a miracle. Some times genetic mistakes just happen. Ours

are just not found quickly because they are inside and no one is looking.
