Thank you for coming


Satori-5 webmaster Gordon D McHendry on a rare good day in 2000...

Hi

      Nuggets: What are they? Well, as far as this webpage is concerned they are those phrases or paragraphs that seem to stand out, or cut to the chase as they say at the other side of the pond, and get right to the point when tackling the subjects of concern to Satori-5; like Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), and Hazardous Radiations Sickness (HRS). These "nuggets" will invariably be short. They are created here particulary for those visitor who, due to substantial health challenges of one kind or another, simply do not have the health or energy to read the whole book, report, or document that these little gems are taken from. They are also, however, for any visitor who find themselves on a very tight budget with regard to time.

      These "nuggets" will be chosen because of their clarity, their simplicity, their power. They will be chosen because they seem to me to contain the essence of what the author is trying to say in his or her work. And if some of them seem to echo or repeat what has been said before that will be because I deem it worthy of repitition; for there are many out there who seem to be finding it very difficult to understand or accept the realities behind the issues with which these "nuggets" deal. I make no appology for this.

      Where possible, in addition to the title of the work and author name and professional tile or qualifications, I will also give an actual page number and, again where possible, optional links to either read the whole document online here within Satori-5 or, alternatively to download it for offline reading and/or printing and/or further disribution. Some truly fortunate "nuggets" however will contain all of these :)

      As is par for the course it will probably take a while for this webpage to get up a good head of steam - but God willing it will get there even if it is only bit by bit. So please be patient with it - and if you know of any good "nuggets" yourself for this page then do send them in.

I hope you find this new addition to Satori-5 useful.

Namaste
Namaste

Yours Sincerely

Gordon D McHendry

NUG-01 ME/CFS
            "In the UK, patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFS), particularly children, have suffered gross and barbaric abuse and persistent denigration as a consequence of the beliefs of certain psychiatrists who are attempting to control the national agenda for this complex and severe neuro-immunological disorder"

NUG-02 MCS/TILT
            "The EPA does not have a scientifically acceptable method for determining the risk for multiple chemical exposure. Yet when scientists have done studies on multiple chemical exposure, it seems quite clear that the chemicals act synergistically. In one 1976 study, a scientific team used three chemicals on a group of rats. The chemicals were tested one at a time on the rats without ill-effect. When the scientists gave the rats two at a time, a decline in health was noted. When the rats were given all three chemicals at once, they all died within two weeks."

"Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide" - Page 168
by The Burton Goldberg Group

NUG-03 MCS/TILT
            "Imagine a world where everything around you makes you sick. Your food, clothing, and shelter produce symptoms that may affect any organ in your body. Even low levels of chemicals that do not affect other people trigger reactions in you. Your life becomes a constant struggle to protect yourself from toxins that are every-where around you."

"Breaking Out of Environmental Illness: Page-11"
by Robert Sampson M.D. & Patricia Hughes B.S.N.

NUG-04 MCS/TILT
            "Widespread toxic chemical pollution of our air, food, and water trigger immune and enzyme detoxification mechanisms. This may result in adverse effects on the neurovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal, respiratory (including ear, nose, and throat), genitourinary, msuculoskeletal, and dermal systems."

"Chemical Hypersensitivity and the Allergic Response"
by William J. Rea, M.D.

NUG-05 MCS/TILT
            "We have reached the age of modern living through chemistry or , as the TV ads said in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s (with their lab coats and test tubes), "Better living through Chemistry." What has happened in modern industrial society, however, is the misuse, overuse, and inappropriate disposal of chemicals. We now know that many of these chemicals can be toxic. Some harmful exposures are from ignorance, some from oversight, some from complacency, and some are from criminal negligence. The result on individuals, certain groups, (like the Gulf War veterans), and entire communities is toxic injury. Toxic exposure, whether acute or long-term, creates an overload on the individual which can result in serious health problems, including multiple chemical sensitivity, other illness referable to many organ systems, and in some cases, cancer. Insidious breakdown in resistance mechanisms takes place; individuals are often unaware of their developing sensitivity."

NUG-06 ME/CFS
            "ME / ICD-CFS is a serious, disabling and chronic organic (ie. physical not mental) disorder: 80% of patients do not get better. According to US statistics provided by the Centres for Disease Control (CDC), only 4% of patients had full remission (not recovery) at 24 months. International expert Daniel Peterson is on record as stating about ME / ICD-CFS: "In my experience, (it) is one of the most disabling diseases that I care for, far exceeding HIV disease except for the terminal stages". American researchers found that the quality of life is particularly and uniquely disrupted in ME / ICD-CFS and that all participants related profound and multiple losses, including loss of jobs, relationships, financial security, future plans, daily routines, hobbies, stamina and spontaneity. Activity was reduced to basic survival needs for some subjects. The researchers found that the extent of the losses experienced by sufferers was devastating, both in number and intensity. Australian researchers found that patients with this disorder had more dysfunction than those with multiple sclerosis, and that in ME / ICD-CFS the degree of impairment is more extreme than in end-stage renal disease and heart disease, and that only in terminally ill cancer and stroke patients was the sickness impact profile (SIP) greater than in ME /ICD-CFS."

NUG-07 MISC
            "My least favourite multinational, Monsanto Corporation, has 45 million acres of genetically modified soybeans growing in the United States. American law permits these crops to be mixied with a small amount of organic soybeans, and the resultant combination may then be labled organic."

NUG-08 ME/CFS
            "For at least a decade, questions about possible scientific misconduct and flawed methodology by Dr (now Professor) Wessely and his group of co-psychiatrists have been raised and published in international medical journals but it is only relatively recently that his long-time involvement as medical adviser to commercial bodies having a vested interest in his publications on ME has been exposed."
