ANS/PNI (Autonomic Nervous System & Psychoneuroimmunology)
Wherein we find that,
contrary to Western specialization-based medicine, the body's systems and the
brain are interconnected myriad complex ways that such specialization fails
to adequately address, resulting in a failure to properly diagnose and treat
or mitigate the patient's symptoms and quality of life issues.

Carbon Monoxide
Long term exposure to low levels of carbon
monoxide (CO) can cause symptoms identical to CFS and Lyme disease,
especially in its neurotoxic effects. CO may be caused by gas heaters (wall,
stove, central heating), gas-powered tools, and propane devices. Note that
propane gas breaks down into another well-known neurotoxin: formaldehyde.
For more information on indoor air pollutants, please see the Occupational & Environmental Illness
and Sick Building Syndrome sections of
the Chemical Sensitivities page.
Lead Poisoning & Testing
While many of these sites talk specifically about children, the fact is
that it is all too easy for adults to unknowingly ingest or inhale toxic
levels of lead which may be missed by a physician since lead poisoning is not
usually associated with adults.
