I read this article in the Daily Mail today with growing horror.

I have come across a lady on the internet with weird and frightening health issues that she believes are related to nanotechnology.

As I keep saying - man meddles with what he does not know...............

Revealed: The toxic nanoparticles with asbestos-like properties found in everyday goods

By Arthur Martin

Last updated at 9:57 AM on 12th November 2008

Tiny particles used to make common goods have similar properties to asbestos and could be highly dangerous, experts are warning.

Others are more toxic than bleach and have the potential to cripple the country

This is some of the most ridiculous paranoid nonsense I have ever read.

This is some of the most ridiculous paranoid nonsense I have ever read.

Why do you think it is paranoid? People are becoming very concerned about the long- term effects of different drugs, about GM foods - truth is we haven't a clue what is going on half the time or what effect any of these new technologies are having on us.

If they didn't feel that there were aspects to be concerned about, I am sure they would not have arranged for a commission to be set up to look into it.

We have been told for years that amalgam fillings were totally fine. Ask Rachel, she will soon enlighten you as to the truth of that!

For years Asbestos was thought to be harmless until it was proved otherwise. Thousands of people have died because of the stuff. Nanotechnology can affect not just thousands, but millions.

This nanotechnology is used in creams and lotions - it is absorbed into the skin. What is it doing once it gets in there - where does it go?

Don't be too dismissive - it might just prove to be one of the most dangerous things man has ever done - and he has a 'brilliant' track record of creating dangerous things!

I think I have read that they actually have stopped some products because of these concerns.

I always wondered how this underwear worked, now I know.

Siver is very bacteriostatic, they use it in wound dressings and on PVK and CVK's.

There are infrared clothing items with laser-cut nanoparticles of certain lengts to reflect infrared light of the right wevelenghts . Open Original Shared Link

Tthese seem to work fine, and several cfs patients who have been bedridden have been able to live an almost normal life (gleaned from a forum, not something the company has posted)

Dont think "nanoparticles" can be dangerous? We human beings are "nanoparticles" compared to the size of the earth and look how we are mucking up our planet. ;)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!  The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      Gluten related ??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
