Explaining "Unexplained Illnesses"

Mehr zum Buch

Discover the answers to the mysteries of debilitating illnesses with a groundbreaking examination of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), fibromyalgia, and posttraumatic stress disorder. This book delves into common symptoms, short-term stressors like infections and psychological trauma, and the reasons behind multiple diagnoses. It emphasizes treating the root causes rather than just the symptoms. A detailed mechanism, the NO/ONOO- cycle, is presented to explain the perplexing aspects of these diseases. Numerous scientists suggest that CFS, MCS, and fibromyalgia share a common mechanism, with posttraumatic stress disorder potentially included. With over 1,500 references to scientific literature, this work introduces a new therapeutic approach. Key questions addressed include how short-term stressors trigger chronic illness, the biochemistry behind the NO/ONOO- cycle, the generation of diverse symptoms from a common biochemical source, and the principles of the NO/ONOO- cycle mechanism. The book also explores how this cycle may explain a dozen previously unrecognized properties of these illnesses and its potential link to 14 additional diseases. This insightful resource is essential for physicians, scientists, and anyone affected by these complex conditions.
