In an ongoing effort to help understand the possible underlying causative factors of this condition, and anything else relating to the terrain of the body..
please can each of you state whether you smoke cigarettes or not..and if you already have quit , whether it was before or after becoming symptomatic.
Thank you!

Hi G,
Never smoked, not even one try. I have always cared about nutrition and have always been a very healthy eater for 30+ yrs. I even took courses in nutrition. I have never been overweight and was an athlete when younger. I made a lot of our foods myself so my family ate healthier pancakes, muffins, etc. I would never buy processed products from the supermarket. I never ate anything with preservatives, artificial ingredients, etc. Did not even buy sodas or desserts. So, personally, I don't believe that this effects only those that have not lead a healthy lifestyle.

hi there, sherry here.
Let's not blame the victim here though...this is contagious and related to something wrong in our envirnment.
I've already responded re never being a smoker..this critter produces a chemical like that produced from tobaco though. There are many chemicals from tobaco smoke and the burning process..which people could be exposed from other sources as well.
I just read a thought in a blog that the real culprit may be plastics, or polyester. How do you clean that out of your body?
It makes sense. I used a lot of those Mountain equipment bottles. Why does it take so long to find out about this stuff? Mind you i
I'm grateful they found out..but I've been drinking out of those bottles every day for at least several years. Sincerely, Sheryy
