		<description>Lo studioso di MCS, Martin Pall, terrà conferenze in cinque paesi europei.
Postato il 1° Feb  2010 da Susie Collins in Blog, MCS, Research, Susie Collins

Martin Pall presenta il suo tour di conferenze in cinque paesi europei a partire dal 10 aprile.
Postato da Martin L. Pall, Professore Emerito di Biochimica e Scienze Mediche di Base alla Washington State University e Direttore delle ricerche del gruppo "Paradigm Research".

Terrò 11 conferenze in cinque paesi in Europa, a partire dal 10 aprile, sul ciclo NO/ONOO.  Nove di queste sono state programmate in concomitanza del mio viaggio in Europa, e comprendono intere conferenze. Ecco i miei interventi:

Inizierò a Berlino, con un seminario di un giorno intero che sarà presentato da me e dal Dr. Peter Ohnsorge. La mia presentazione sarà tradotta in simultanea in tedesco. Parlerò della sensibilità chimica multipla (MCS) e della terapia e potrò trattare altri argomenti che verranno approfonditi nella mia successiva conferenza londinese.

A Londra, presenterò tre conferenze di 90 minuti, per un totale di 4 ore e mezza, tutte alla Royal Society of Medicine, uno dei luoghi più prestigiosi al mondo. Il mio primo intervento si concentrerà sul meccanismo del ciclo NO/ONOO e sul suo ruolo nell'eziologia della CFS/ME e della fibromialgia. Nel second intervento metterò in evidenza come il meccanismo che spiega l’MCS spiega anche le tre classiche malattie neurodegenerative: il morbo di Alzheimer, il morbo di Parkinson e la SLA.

Le tre malattie neurodegenerative sono state anche trattate come evidenti malattie del ciclo NO/ONOO nel mio libro, "Spiegando 'malattie inspiegabili'", ma vi sono nuove prove sostanziali che supportano ulteriormente la tesi. In particolare, ci sono prove convincenti che le quattro caratteristiche specifiche, la formazione degli aggregati della proteina beta amiloide (A-beta) nel morbo di Alzheimer, la formazione di aggregati della proteina tau iperfosforilata che causa i grovigli neurofibrillari (morbo di Alzheimer), la formazione di corpi di Lewy (Parkinson) e la formazione di aggregati di neurofilamenti (SLA) sono tutte formate sotto l'influenza di elementi del ciclo NO/ONOO di cui il  perossinitrito è il più importante, ma anche molti altri hanno il loro ruolo. La cosa interessante è che entrambi gli aggregati A-beta e gli aggregati di neurofilamenti, a loro volta, attivano l’aumento degli elementi del ciclo NO/ONOO, agendo quindi come elementi specifici del ciclo. Recenti studi degli aggregati A-beta hanno chiarito il meccanismo con cui ciò avviene.

Il mio terzo intervento presso la Royal Society of Medicine sarà interamente sulla terapia-regolatrice del ciclo NO/ONOO. 

Poi volerò a Roma per una presentazione, la mattina del 17 aprile; dopo, nello stesso giorno, partirò per Catania, in Sicilia, per partecipare ad un meeting sulla MCS. Tale riunione è stata programmata ancora secondo le esigenze del mio viaggio in Europa ed è il primo incontro mai tenuto in Italia sull’MCS. Poi tornerò a Roma per un incontro informale presso l'Istituto Nazionale della Sanità per discutere sul meccanismo dell’MCS. La situazione in Italia è ad una svolta importante rispetto a quando l’ho visitata nel novembre 2008. Allora, quando ho fatto una conferenza all’Università di Brescia nel Nord Italia ed una anche a Roma dove mi è stato detto che la situazione riguardante l’MCS in Italia era indubbiamente barbara, con i medici perseguitati e messi al bando per aver trattato pazienti con MCS. Potrò forse trasformare la situazione in quel paese in 1 o 2 anni? Possiamo solo sperare.

Da Roma, volerò a Parigi per intervenire ad un meeting sull’MCS. Questa è la prima conferenza mai tenuta in Francia sull’MCS ed è stata organizzata proprio in concomitanza col mio viaggio europeo. Ciò fa seguito ad una conferenza che ho tenuto in occasione del meeting di Medicina Ambientale ad Aix-en-Provence lo scorso aprile (2009). 

Quest'ultimo è stato il primo intervento sull’MCS ad un meeting di Medicina Ambientale in Francia. Un meeting che, in passato, era in gran parte dominato dalla cancerogenesi ambientale. La situazione in Francia ha cambiato radicalmente direzione. La mia pagina web sull’MCS è stata tradotta in francese e tedesco e la risposta in entrambi i paesi è stata impressionante. L’associazione degli allergologi francesi ha chiesto e ottenuto il permesso di pubblicare la traduzione francese sul loro sito web. Entrambe le traduzioni in francese e tedesco sono state inserite in vari siti web.

Dopo la conferenza di Parigi, vado a Wurzburg per un altro meeteng- uno di quelli già programmati. Mi è stato chiesto esplicitamente di fare due interventi, uno sul morbo di Alzheimer, il morbo di Parkinson e la SLA come malattie causate dal ciclo NO/ONOO – nella quale userò la maggior parte del materiale del meeting di Londra. Mi è stato anche chiesto di fare un intervento nella conferenza sulla terapia regolatrice del ciclo NO/ONOO.

Dopo la conferenza di Wurzburg, proseguirò per Madrid per l'ultimo metting del viaggio. Io non sono del tutto sicuro di cosa parlerò in occasione di tale riunione, ma sono propenso a parlare dell’eccessiva attività NMDA come risultato di un gran numero di agenti tossici ambientali. 

Questa è, in qualche modo, la più importante novità che è scaturita dalla mia recente pubblicazione sull’MCS- cioè che un gran numero di agenti tossici ambientali producono tutti un aumento dell'attività della NMDA e hanno dimostrato che le loro risposte tossiche sono notevolmente ridotte dagli antagonisti dell’NMDA.

In precedenza, ci sono stati due importanti evidenze nella tossicologia – quella che è stata chiamata genotossicità per le numerose sostanze cancerogene e quella delle alterazioni del sistema endocrino. Quindi questo è la terza, e, quasi certamente, è più importante di quella del sistema endocrino, in termini delle sue implicazioni per la salute umana.

Ho fatto un meraviglioso viaggio in Europa nel novembre 2008, terminando quel tour di conferenze nei sei paesi come l'unico non-europeo invitato ad una sessione speciale del Consiglio delle Nazioni (il Parlamento UE) sulla medicina ambientale, ma questo si prospetta ancora meglio.

		<description>Susie, this is fantastic, so I pinched it for MCS News Australia, with a link and recommendation to The Canary Report. Thanks Susie :-)
There is so much momentum in Italy! Go Italy, Go Francesca and Rose, Go AMICA.</description>

		<description>Me too, Jaz. I not only have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, I am a breast cancer survivor. I am certain both were caused by man made toxic chemicals. Dr. Steingraber evokes a much-needed emotional response to this public health crisis. I don't know what it's going to take before the public says ENOUGH, but I think we are very close to it.</description>

		<description>Aloha Airy, 

I'd be cautious with the pre-made shower floor-- it depends on the material-- Polyurethane? You may need to outgas first. I have showered in a brand new pre-made shower stall without any problem (someone else's house) but we are all different in our sensitivities, so what works for me might not work for you. I can't imagine that the cost savings would be significant for tiling just the floor-- sometimes it's better to pay a bit more to get what you want.

I'd also be very cautious with the reglazing-- that is a very toxic process for anyone. It's impossible to say if the fumes from under your house would come into the house, but if you think you could live with those chips around the drain, I'd skip the reglazing. Sometimes those chips can add some charm and character to the tub.  

Always err toward the least toxic choice, a perfect looking tub or shower is not worth risking your health.

I hope you'll keep us posted about what you decide to do and how it works out!

Aloha,
Susie</description>

		<description>We're about to undertake a similar project. We're installing a shower in the corner of the bathroom. I want to do all tile. The contractor said we could save some money if we used a pre-made, square, shower floor and do tiles just on the walls.

He said he didn't notice any smells from these floors. Does anyone here have any experience with these?

Also, we have an old, claw-foot bathtub with some chips around the drain. The contractor mentioned doing the shower first and then reglazing the tub in the summer and putting it outside to outgas (we have some space under the house).

Will fumes seep up through the floor if the tub is under the house? There's a large space under there with just a dirt floor.

We just moved into our first home, so all this is new to me. I'm so scared of getting sick. I'm tempted to leave the tub "as is" and just fix the faucet leak causing the problem (other than the chips down to the metal, the tub is in great shape and it doesn't look like it's going to leak any time soon). 

I'll be grateful for any advice or guidance to the best resources for this project. Thanks!

		<description>Re the movie "Safe":  I thought it was dreadful public relations for MCS.  And a dreadful movie, period.  Creepy and, yes, weird.  
Once I went for a part-time job interview.  I briefly mentioned MCS on-the-job needs.  The interviewer then asked, "Have you seen the movie, "Safe"?
I hadn't seen it yet, so I said no.  
She didn't hire me.
Later, when I saw the movie, I understood why.</description>

		<description>Thanks a lot for all this compliments!

Dear Connie, I wish you can write this book that you have inside you. I’m so proud to be part of TCR! Thank you for your beautiful comment.

Thanks Mokihana. About the verb “adapt”, what I try to explain is that I had to quit my job, I had to start emailing with my friends instead of meeting them in a bar, I had to sell my apartment and find a new one, I had to change all my clothing and furniture… And I had to make all this changes to survive. I think that in Spanish there is not such a big difference between adapt and adjust, I didn’t use it as a synonymous of conform, and for your explanation I suppose that adjust describes this process better. Thanks for your reflections! 

OhZone, I think that it’s good that we share our knowledge with other people. I also try to educate my family, my friends and all the lectors of my blog about the terrible effects of the chemicals.

Dear Sylvia, thanks for your kind words. I’m glad you’ve liked it. I couldn’t have done this translation without Susie’s help! I wish you can write a book, because, reading your poems, I’m sure it would be great. Hugs!

Thanks Ronnie for your kind words. I’m happy that my article captures also your own journey and that you feel validated with it! 

You’re welcome Jasmine. Thank you for being always by my side!</description>

		<description>Sandra, have you read &lt;i&gt;Illness as Metaphor&lt;/i&gt; by Susan Sontag? It's been on my "to read" list for far too long, I must read it! She wrote it after her own cancer treatment, but did not tell anyone about her cancer when she published the book. It's a critique on society's creation of metaphor for disease, notably with TB and cancer (each diseases of their day). Here are some excerpts:
