What is Environmental Illness?
Environmental illness is characterized by poisoning that affects the nervous system and the immune system. It includes:
- Chemical injury
- Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Updated 4/15/2009
- Toxic encephalopathy
- Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Updated 4/15/2009
- Fibromyalgia
- Autoimmune conditions
- Neurological conditions
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome
- Gulf War Illness
- Autism Updated 9/28/2008
- Heavy metal poisoning
- Silicone Implant Associated Syndrome Updated 10/12/2008
Effective treatment always involves nutrition, avoidance / elimination of toxins, and improved metabolism.
In real life (contrary to the impressions created by advertising), a healthy lifestyle, nutritious food, and a clean environment are fun.

Metabolism
Undenatured
Whey
Intracellular glutathione deficiency may be the culprit in chronic
fatigue syndrome and multiple chemical sensitivity. Undenatured whey
provides the precursor nutrients for intracellular glutathione.
Updated 3/11/2009
Neural
Sensitization Protocol
The work by biochemist Dr.
Martin Pall, PhD
on reversing neural
sensitization is a breakthrough in explanation
and treatment. His work identifies these illnesses and others as
examples of
a new disease paradigm.
Updated 4/15/2009
Mitochondrial
Dysfunction
Mitochondrial dysfunction is the likely cause of many chronic fatigue
syndrome symptoms. It can affect every cell of the body,
including the cells of the heart. Treating mitochondrial dysfunction
improves all forms of cardiovascular disease and chronic fatigue
syndrome.

Detoxification
Metabolism
Phase I / Phase II,
Methylation, Glutathione, Sulfation, Aldehyde
Detoxification
Metabolic defects in
the body's ability to process toxins play a
role in environmental illness. Many defects, whether genetic or
environmental, are treatable.
Updated 6/29/2009
Oxygen
Therapy
Hypoxia is involved in environmental illness and migraine.
Updated 6/29/2009
Vitamins
Vitamin A
Vitamin A deficiency and disruption is an important element of
environmental illness.
Updated 7/26/2010
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 has often been used to treat chronic fatigue syndrome and
environmental illness.
Updated 9/10/2008
Vitamin D
Most Americans are deficient or low in
Vitamin D. Yet Vitamin
D supplementation, now promoted by the Canadian Cancer Society, could
prevent up to 75% of cancers. Vitamin D deficiency causes chronic pain
and affects immune function.
Updated 7/26/2010
Toxicants
Chemical
Avoidance
There is no substitute for avoiding substances that provoke a
neurological or immune response.
Updated 11/9/2008
Excitotoxin
Avoidance: MSG, Aspartame, Food Additives
MSG is creating a nation of obesity, chemical sensitivity,
restaurant coronaries, cancer patients, dementia, and progressive
neurological disease.
Updated 9/28/2008
Mycotoxins
Mold produces mycotoxins in the air and in food.
Updated 7/23/2008
Gluten Avoidance
Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity affect the immune system and
cause autoimmune disease.
Updated 1/1/2008
Structure
Brain
Trauma
Brain damage and the breaching of the blood-brain barrier affect
neurological function and metabolism.
Updated 4/1/2008
Mind/Body
Mental
Activity
Mental activity may be preventative and restorative for any kind of
brain
damage, including the neurotoxicity of environmental illness.
Updated 1/14/2008
Autogenic
Training
Autogenic training is a relaxation technique easy to learn on your own.
