I was raised in the U.P. of Mich. and was living in northern Mich in 1981 when
got TM. at age 55. Thirty years ago many believed that living in the north was a contributing factor for TM.

I was watching CNN and the doctor, Dr. Grupa?, said that they have studied the cord blood of newborns and they have found that the cord blood contained over 200 chemicals, not body chemials but harmful chemicals - "contaminated newborns" is what they called the newborns. The Dr. also said that there are thousands of chemicals that are in our food, air, clothing, cleaning supplies, etc. that have NOT been studied to make sure that they are not harmful. A Congressman has submitted a bill that will not allow any chemical to be used until the chemical is proven not harmful - as it stands now, a chemical is put into use and used until it is proven to be harmful! So we are all guinea pigs for the industries. For myself I believe that I had the "bad genes" for my auoimmune sstem but also just 75 days before TM struc me, I had a "botched" surgery then a follow-up "successful" surgery 30 days later. In between the surgeries, I had an allergy reaction to the meds that they gave me. After the "successful" sugery, I went back to work early - due to deadlines which resulted in stress! Added to that were the holidays stress - Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think another factor was that the hospital where I had the "botched" & "successful" surgery was under major remodeling - the surgery rooms where right next to a major area being remodeled. I grew up in Indianapolis, IN. I can rememer the different "smells" in the air - just to name a couple, a creasol pole coating factory, a couple of slaughter houses, meat processing, medical processing, bakeries (Wonder bread and others). I lived there for over 20 years. My daughter was born there and as a baby she had so many attacks of broncitis (sp?) BUT as soon as we moved here in SW FL when she was 2, the attacks stopped. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably . And never regret anything that made you smile.

It seems to depend on the level and type/span of your injury. You should contact the Reed foundation and get that booklet-- it was incredibly helpful to me while i was in the nursing home being mistreated. And I shared it with the other oppressed prisoners-- a couple of guys who told me it was VERY helpful. -- --Forwarded Message Attachment-- Date: Fri, 7 May 2010 02:01:02 -0400 From: a...@artfarm.com To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] Correction Christopher REEVE Foundation http://www.christopherreeve.org/ -- --Forwarded Message Attachment-- Date: Fri, 7 May 2010 09:25:40 -0500 From: patticoo...@wi.rr.com To: jan...@centurytel.net; tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: RE: [TMIC] TM Janice - I am and was living in S.E. Wisconsin when I got TM. I have heard that our northern states i.e., Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc. have more cases of TM & MS. They believe it may be due to the long winters and lack of Vitamin D during our long and dark winters. I have been taking 2,000 IU 3 times a day. It is worth a try.
