The main symptom of a Mitochondrial Disease is = Encepholmyleitis and Dyautonomia....hey sounds like ME
There are subsets and many misdiagnoses in my eyes. Dr have had meds return their patients to near normal.
The lack of a thorough workup is a fault of Dr, the Health Systems and the discovery of new disease all the time. Further the Stigma given to this disease was aweful by naming CFS.
But the ABSOLUTE # 1 Problem is is the LACK OF FUNDING......this inhibits the discovery of disease within ME/CFS/Subsets/Stages etc.
Viruses = Weakens Immune response shuts down Mitochondria...like when you have the flu
Bacteria = Weakens Immune response shuts down Mitochondria. Toxifies blood and organs through sepsis. Ever have strep throat or stomach bug..
Autoantibodies/ Autoimmune Antibodies = A Dr didnt want to listen to symptoms or could not or did not have the time to sort out the issue or lacked knowledge. Heres a list of symptoms of autoantibodies...look familiar? and I am sure their is more =
Difficulty walking, Difficulty maintaining balance,Loss of muscle coordination, Loss of muscle tone or weakness, Loss of fine motor skills, such as picking up objects, Difficulty swallowing, Slurred speech, Memory loss and other thinking (cognitive) impairment, Vision problems, Sleep disturbances, Seizures, Sensory disturbances, Unusual involuntary movements (Myclonus), Difficulting Breathing
To add to this B-Cells from what I understand can harbour bacteria and viruses.
Its time to get rid of piss poor CFS Definitions and start cleaning up the definitions through discovery and real science.
The one thing all true ME patients have is the inability to maintain and sustain proper levels of energy production = Mitochondria are the energy plants of our bodies
To add to this viruses, bacterias, toxins, all result or inhibit processes that all major vital organs require to maintain homeostasis...
Then their is a group that has a true Encephalopathy.....which results in dysfunction everywhere....
BUILD THE CENTER AND WE WILL COME!
