Discoveries About Migraines
ABC News
Scientists are discovering that migraines
(which can be caused by pesticides and solvents)
are caused NOT by
the abnormal blood vessels
once blamed but by a
unique electrical disorder of brain cells.

migraines and "toxic
headache"

Physical Proof of the
Mechanisms of Fibromyalgia
ABC News
April 8, 2001
~~~~~*~~~~~
SBU's "Ultimate Solution"
Marie does not have and has never been diagnosed
with fibromyalgia, but there is little doubt
that
the symptomology and mechanisms
of Marie's pesticide and solvent injuries
-- that is, severe pain and neurological sensitivity
due to dysfunction and damage to the neurology
and blood flow of the brain --
are somewhat similar to fibromyalgia.
For years, SBU associates have
taunted and tortured Marie,
encouraging her to end her suffering
by committing suicide
-- which is their "solution" so that SBU would
not be
"burdened" with the moral and financial
responsibility
for their continued cruelty and criminality.
Marie has declined to participate in this
"solution" --
especially in light of the fact that the chemical agents
which were used to poison her
have
been identified
and, therefore, extremely effective treatments
that would relieve much of Marie's pain and
disability
(detoxification, biochemical, nutritional,
neurological, and physical therapies)
are now readily available --
though such treatments are still classified
as "experimental" in the United States
(and, thus, not covered by Medicare),
even though these treatments have proven
routinely safe and effective elsewhere
for as long as forty (40) years.
For those of you who do suffer from
fibromyalgia,
please hold on to life.
Do not give up!
Even as you read this,
there is much progress being made
in research and education and
light is shimmering at the end of the tunnel.
We do not want to loose any more of you
...
each of you is God-ordained
and impossible to replace.

Though Marie personally does not have

with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
many chemical-injured persons suffer
a chemically-induced variant
of this devastating syndrome.

XYLENE AND BENZENE
The label on the
Diazinon formulation used
at
Southwest Baptist University indicates that ALMOST
HALF
of the Diazinon formulation was composed of
XYLENE,
a aromatic petroleum distillate, used as a propellant.
The properties of xylene are as
NEUROTOXIC
as those of the pesticides
themselves.

Aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xylene,
are often implemented
in cases of injury or death associated
with the accidental or
intentional ("sniffing" or "huffing") inhalation
of propellant-containing
household products.
