I find this whole discussion from the Morning Journal about MS fascinating. This fits the pattern of CFS. According to the information in Oslers Web, this may actually be an epidemic of CFS. It is interesting that MS is considered a real and serious disease even though "No one even knows what causes the disease."
CFS was not given "real disease status" because the cause was not found. No one has ever investigated Hulda Clark's theories. Is the brain damage caused by parasites? Both CFS and MS patients have brain lesions. The only arguments I have heard from medical types is that parasites are normal, everyone has them and they haven't reported finding any in cadavers. Well, bacteria are normal, everyone has them, too, but they often cause disease. Wouldn't trying to find a couple microscopic worms in the brain tissue be a bit like trying to find the needle in the haystack?
A mysterious illness is stalking its residents. About five times the expected number of people have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a disease of the nervous system that frays the nerves and often leaves its victims wheelchair bound.
No one knows why Wellington has so many cases. No one even knows what causes the disease. Lorain County health officials are so alarmed by Wellington's numbers that they have contacted the Ohio Health Department, which in turn called a federal agency.
"Yes, we have a situation here, and it was not by chance that this situation could occur," said Lorain County Health Commissioner Ken Pearce. "There is statistical significance here."
Now Wellington is part of a MS "cluster" study, one of only a half-dozen communities so chosen in the last 30 years. The search to explain the disease's high prevalence here has raised hopes that Wellington could be the key to unlocking the mystery of MS.
Yet if the history of disease clusters teaches any lesson, it is to expect little. Cluster studies have seldom concluded neatly with a clear cause and effect. More often, particularly for MS, they have raised more questions than they answered.
Residents of Galion, Ohio, and Key West, Fla., saw it firsthand 15 years ago. And Sugar Creek, Mo., has more recently experienced the same thing: fear and hope during a study, and then dissatisfaction when it ends.
Yet none of these facts answer the pivotal questions. Why is Wellington's MS rate four times greater even than Canada? Why, in a town that should have no more than seven cases, have 25 cases been detected?
I would like to emphasize that the story I have presented does not prove that radiation polluted water can be the cause of MS but it is certainly suspect. I am unaware of any scientific instrument which can pick up this pollutant and that could well be the reason why MS has remained a mystery disease defying many attempts to discover its cause. Then the question comes to mind. What other mystery diseases could be traced to radiation polluted water?
"How can you tell if you are exposed to cell-phone tower radiation? If you can see the tower from your window, place a piece of aluminum foil over the window. A day later look at the aluminum foil. If it is filled with little holes you know you are exposed to radiation. This was a tip passed on by a friend."
