-Caveat Lector- I do not know how this will come out but here are some relevant links and posts. Will be sending the updated set of links in a moment, as well.

Laura aka The Pied Piper http://members.xoom.com/ThePiedPiper/Intro2.htm Sweet Poison http://www.sweetpoison.com/ Canola Healthy? - http://www.1999.com/canola/ " Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare fatal degenerative disease caused by in a build up long-chain fatty acids (c22 to c28) which destroys the myelin (protective sheath )of the nerves. Canola oil is a very long chain fatty acid oil (c22). Those who will defend canola oil say that the Chinese and Indians have used it for centuries with no effect, however it was in an unrefined form.*" Oils Vegetable and Animal - Health Risks from Processed Foods and Trans.

Tingling, numbness and pain. Pain is often worse at night and with touch or change in temperature. The autonomic nervous system may also be involved and cause changes in vasculautre, dry, pale skin or red, sweaty skin. Ridged nails and osteoporisis can result. It can result from nutritional deficiency, environmental factors, diabetes, alcoholism, hypothyroidism. They suggest checking renal function with creatinine levels, liver function, and checking for porphyria. Demylenation is the loss of the myelin sheath around a nerve. This sheath is made up of fat and necessary for nerve function. Guillain-Barre Syndrome is the most common form of demyelinating polyneuropathy. The cause is unknown, but it appears that it is autoimmune, where the body's immune system attacks itself. It progresses more rapidly than most neuropathies. The symptoms are that weakness in the legs, then the arms, is more prominent than the sensory symptoms. The maximum degree of weakness is reached in 2-3 weeks. Steroids worsen the prognosis and something called plasmapheresis is useful and helps recovery. Patients need to be monitored for respiratory distress. They need to take in lots of fluids and should have their electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium) monitored as well.Most patients recover, but about 30% still have residual weakness after 3 years. 10% relapse. 5% die. Organophosphate poisoning and botulism should be ruled out, since they can be confused with GBS. Hope this helps, -snip- Did a quick search and pulled up this site: http://gbs.org/events/development.html Seems it is a type of or simular to Guillain-Barre Syndrome. -snip- -----Original Message----- >Does anyone know anything about Polyneuropathy with Demylenation? What is it? Are there any websites you're aware of? Does anyone have it? A friend of mine might have it. Sh also referred to CIDP.
