Diseases of metabolism, as you are aware, are diseases where the chemical and enzymatic reactions are disturbed. I think ME should be classified under Metabolic conditions, not under Neurologic as it is now.
But you are right, there are so many other insults like viruses, etc in ME. My belief is that all these insults damage mitochondria and Krebs cycle, and thus, the resulting massive collapse of our systems.
I am unaware of the H2S theory. Thank you.
Hi,
Hydrogen sulphide poisoning does damage the mitochondria and krebs cycle, it is the mechanism that bacteria use to defeat the immune system and is what bacteria use for antibiotic resistance. Hydrogen sulphide poisoning causes metabolic acidosis, blood and iron problems, kills the immune system, causes protein in urine, low and high blood pressure, tinnitus, damages glands such as pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, kidney, liver, causes heart disease, basal ganglia and olfactory lesions, nausea, headache, dizziness, attacks the olfactory nerve (smell sensitivity) and the CNS, causes light and sound sensitivity, peripheral neuopathy, extreme tiredness and fatigue, sleep disturbances, brain fog, cognitive dysfunction, loss of memory retention and recall, speech recall, severe muscle cramping and pain, bronchitis, asthma, mucosal inflammation of the eyes, nose and throat and bowel (IBS) .... and all of these are symptoms (this is not all of them) can be a result of higher level acute exposure or chronic exposure at levels less than 1 part per million, which is practically undetectable.
These are all recorded symptoms taken from numerous studies of not just employees who have had a high dose exposure, but whole communities that surround hydrogen sulphide producing factories. Symptoms also vary from person to person .....
So there are 2 basic facts ... hydrogen sulfide has been shown to cause the same symptoms as CFS/ME and strains of normal flora bacteria produce hydrogen sulfide in the presence of simple sugars or when under stress .... too many hydrogen sulfide bacteria strains leads to too much hydrogen sulfide being absorbed through the bodies mucousa (particularly the gut) which leads to hydrogen sulphide poisoning which the medical people call CFS/ME ....
Viruses produce protease which damages the mucousa and allows for further absorbtion of this toxin, Viridans streptococcus species and enterococcus species also produce protease that damages the mucousa. They are also alpha hemolytic and for those that are catalase deficient, then hydrogen peroxide is able to damage the mucousa allowing for more absorption ... Bacterial biofilms make the effect more concentrated .....
Some simple tests I have done using food grade 35% hydrogen peroxide and samples of naturally occurring hydrogen sulfide, has confirmed this in my case .....
Thiosulfate urine test is the only known way to prove this ..... I reckon this test has to be taken over a period of time in order to show the cyclic effect of this disease .....
This is the undetectable infection .....
Cheers.
