Very interesting article relating to one possible cause of Multiple Chemical sensitivity, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Fibromyalgia. A Vicious Chronic Stress Cycle The limbic kindling model explains how multiple types of stressors (psychological, electrical or chemical) all result in the same outcome: chronic sympathetic nervous system activation that reduces the body’s ability to “rest, digest and detoxify”, and often results in allergies and hyper-sensitivities. Limbic kindling could also explain electro-hypersensitivity. The biochemical changes resulting from chronic sympathetic nervous system activation include increased oxidative stress, inflammation and toxin build-up, which in turn, causes more limbic kindling and could explain how illnesses like ME/CFS and MCS become chronic. The article goes on to say; Mind/body approaches may help to reset the neural reprogramming found in some people with sensitivity to toxins. Other approaches include sauna, chelation and nutritional supplementation. cortjohnson.org/blog/2014/05/17/limbic-kindling-hard-wiring-brain-hypersensitives-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/
