The Autoimmune Epidemic

Yep. I’ve been talking about this for years - we’ve reached immunological overload.

You have been talking about this for years, and you’ve been right every time. Lucky it’s mostly the wimminfolk who get them, so the docs can listen to the symptoms and roll their eyes in derision at the hysterical, hypochondriac females.

Yeah, I’m a little bitter.

And don’t forget, we just don’t get politics, either.

Hey Amal; give the “can’t see the forest for the trees” thing a rest, will ya?

Since the immune system reacts, we might find many sources. The hormone infested water, long-chain hydrocarbons, world-covering pesticides, overcrowding, unwarrented stress, too much stoopid, lack of social significance, and Dagon knows what else.

Amal, I’ll give the senseless polarizing sexism a rest when it no longer exists.

Yeah, plus the pasteurized milk thing. And don’t forget the black copters. I don’t mean to minimize any of this (as a woman who has been diagnosed and variously mis-diagnosed with more than one autoimmune disorder after years of being dismissed as a whiner and a crank), but I don’t think there’s any one cause — and the search for a grand unified cause/theory doesn’t help afflicted individuals. Cumulative overload probably covers it pretty well. I’d just like it to stop.

Used to believe in the ‘hysterical woman’ meme. Then I read about Lydia Pinkham’s. Ohh, they’re all Babs Bush alkies. Then it was “The Jungle”. Food poisoning. Then it was working for the EPA and seeing how many things got tossed into rivers. It explained why the men died young, more exposure. If it didn’t kill you, sickness may result.

That’s true.

Book “Autoimmune epidemics” already published.

Reason simple - we are living in a heavily polluted environment.

Where is limit: our kids, their kids ???
