Lets go into your post which posits several different things that I can answer and possibly, with others, point you in a direction to explore for your answers. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2000 4:11 PM Subject: Re: CS>(OT) Trouble in Iowa
For the past year, I have been carefully watching the kinds of disability applications coming into our consulting firm (which specifically does only social security law and represents clients). For over a year, all but two of the clients have presented with the primary diagnosis of chronic fatigue and/or fibromyalgia. Usual misdiagnosis for aspertame poisoning - see http://www.Dorway.com Additional diagnoses are consistently: (1) Arthritis, Neurally mediated hypotension, (3) sleep apnea, and (4) frequently depression (after onset). Adult onset diabetes is also frequently seen in addition to the CFIDS/fibro. Refer to http://www.notmilk.com for a discussion of these symptoms in relation to our contaminated and altered public supplies of dairy products. I have felt it to be an outbreak, and watched, researched, and read. Last week my feelings were confirmed by two separate agencies, who indicate that Iowa has the second highest rate of disability per capita, in the US. These figures were taken from SSA and applications, and would therefore, generally rule out those 65 or older. My suspicions were confirmed by both SSA and the State Voc Rehab offices. Refer to the many site references of government sponsored aerial spraying of mutagenic substances over our cities by unmarked tanker planes (resembling vapor trails -- except that their low altitute doesn't correlate.) On three separate occasions, I have been aware that the CDC has been active in our area, monitoring, but do not know what their focus or findings have been. Ahh, yes --- The famous United States Center for Disease Control -- the CDC -- Somebody has to test for the effects of these secret, clandestine government programs -- who better than the CDC? Incidently, if you no longer have a high degree of confidence in the FDA, then you should look with askance at the CDC which has also been populated with the "right people"! The incidence of chronic fatigue and fibro do not seem limited to metro areas, and seem to span the state equally. Women seem to be most affected, however, people of all ages, sexes, ethnic background, are being diagnosed in large numbers. The medical professionals in our area, are knee deep, and are trying very hard to understand and help. Widespread aerial spraying can be indiscriminate in its effects if that's the intention. We can find no real common denominator, and blood work does not reveal conclusive or consistent data, for many patients. Most patients, however, show a curiously low sodium level (below 139 or close). We have also in many cases, done MMPI testing, and are finding little or no indication that mental health issues are the primary or largely contributing cause. Be careful -- anyone who thinks the government might be to blame could be adjudged "mentallly ill". After having read and researched for the past year, I still don't have a clue as to the causes. Have looked at water, air, diet, parasitic infections, viruses, bacteria's, and everything looks suspect. We are clueless. Is anyone aware of diagnostic methods or testing process, which might uncover the origin or cause of what we are seeing? (Mycoplasma testing is not available or common here, or covered by insurance.) Many people here are experimenting with alternative therapies, and some medical providers are also starting to consider alternatives. We have two certified Chinese Herbalists in the area, and their waiting lists are as long as 6 - 7 months, for an initial appointment. Are any of you close to Iowa, or aware of reputable and reliable alternative health care providers? I have a copy of "The Directory of Innovative Doctors" from Life Extension Foundation, PO Box 229120, Hollywood, FL 33022. The listings for Iowa are as follows: Doug Valentine, DC - 1520 1st Ave. NW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52405 (319) 366-4118 David Nebbelong, DO - 622 E. 38th St. Davenport, IA 52807 (319) 391-0321 Horst G. Blume, MD - 700 Jennings St. Sioux City, IA 51105 (712) 252-4386 Many of these people cannot travel. Will apologize in advance, if this post is inappropriate for the CS list. suzy Well, since CS plays a role in these health matters .......... Robert
