People Are Allergic To Me (PATM)

People are allergic to me. And a lot of other people around the world are suffering from this condition. Doctors do not beleive the reports, and most of them claim that we are crazy but we all know that we're far from being crazy. This condition causes so much heartache and stress. I have sent emails to CDC, NIH and WHO with no help. Would you please address this issue?

I'm on the same path. Let me know how it goes for you.

Hello everyone,

Want to say that I have been on a plant based diet and taking supplements that have been mentioned here and some that I researched but always being careful not to over do it. I did find out that in my case, I cannot eat anything that is cooked/fried in oil and it doesn't matter if it's just vegetables. I tried all different types of cooking oil's and they all made my patm reactions re-surface. Also, eating any type of nuts like pecans/cashews/almonds/peanuts that are high in fat and cholesterol, exasperated this bacteria that is living inside of us. As soon as I eliminated all of the above mentioned, I had no more reactions. Still eating fresh vegetables but I either boil them or eat them raw. Will continue to experiment.

Thanks Grateful! I’m interested because I’m collecting data as I go along. I’ve discussed this phenomenon with our lab technician. By the way, his allergic symptoms is improving and neither doe he or know why, but fair to say he was always on allergy medicine since we met. After revealing to him about the effects of digestive enzymes (DE) on my condition in the past, he postulated that it could be an enzyme deficiency meaning some of the digested compounds may have some rather allergic impact on other people as we exhale the compound into the air around us, or perspiration and so on, but possibly we can’t break the molecules down like other people. Indeed his hypothesis isn’t giving me new information as I had the same supposition years ago.

In this hypothesis it’s has a very similar chemical pathway and discharge manner to TMAU type 1. It potentially explains why my symptoms intensified after I took digestive enzymes because the DE just increased the surface area of digestion manifolds thus producing more of the unknown compound. It appears to also explain why laxatives decrease the patm symptoms. Laxative, such as Oxy Powder move food quickly through the digestive tract and not allowing much time for complete digestion. When digestion is slow, food is expected to get broken down more so patm symptoms are greater. Laxatives have been observed to have this effect on similar diseases. Our hypothesis for now on that issue is that the missing enzyme could be the result of one/more genes or mutation(s).
Of course this is all a hypothesis among many.

We have done numerous tests on known diseases only to come up empty. We came to the conclusion months ago that the only way to break this down is to check for individual VOCs in my breath. We don’t have access to the University labs that have these facilities capable of dealing with this kind of research so we looked up information on all kind of portable VOCs sensors and many came up such as these.

The problem as I’ve stated before is that it’s likely limited in the amount of molecules it can detect, and will only keep to a narrow band of the purpose for which it was manufactured. We would have tried it if the cost wasn’t great to buy them all and test them out one by one. Our best bet is just to wait until we have access to university utilities. Therefore to test our hypothesis above, it will only be confirmed to be true/false if we access the right equipment. The problem now is that I have to wait for years. But I’m not discouraged as I believe in the soundness of scientific reasoning.

@Everyone - I honestly understand why doctors can’t understand our condition and they’re partially right. It’s primarily because it’s a weird condition. For example, it took me months to convince my lab technician that his allergies are caused by me. Even now he’s still not sure but as soon as we meet his coughing and sneezing starts to pick up but the usual headaches have improved though. Due to the strangeness of the disease, physicians aren’t willing to even spend time to test thoroughly before theorizing. Therefore they’ve concluded on a theory without even thoroughly testing. In science such theories are considered hypothesis too because it’s not based on evidence but on supposition based on past experiences, and while it works in most cases, it will fail on rare cases, such as ours.
Their hypothesis is standing on lose ground as ours and the validity of either one can only be confirmed through proper experimentation, and not assumptions. TMAU patients are happy now but medical doctors and psychologists once proclaimed them as mental patients, retards for years before it was discovered by scientists that physicians & psychologists were damn wrong despite their strong self-confidence. Now both TMAU patients and doctors are aware of TMAU and they’re both happy but it wasn’t like that in the past.  And all that fuss was caused by not carrying out proper experimentation. The sad part for us patmers, it appears no one is going to accidently discover this any time soon, we have to do it ourselves, so quit feeling sorry for yourself and enroll in the nearest community college and start on your journey..lol. It’s either that or risk being oppressed and also called by others a retard for the rest of your life.

@grateful2011 - Thank you for the great information and encouragement.

i have used digestive enzymes sometimes - NOT regularly and would not consider it a major contributor to me being patm free.  It is one puzzle piece in my patm free journey !!!

as I indicated before many, many actions on my part have resulted in  me being patm free - a totality of actions I decided to take BEGINNING IN 2011, some of which I continue to take daily AND some which I do not take or no longer do at this time including :

changing my food choices to mostly plant based choices
no fast food  or junk food about 95% of the time
no dairy, no gluten, no meat, reduced sugar use, mostly stevia
l-glutamine powder
oregano oil
hemp protein
probiotics
vitamins d3 and b 12
magnesium
oil pulling each morning with coconut oil
drink lemon water in the morning and a lot of water throughout  each day
go to the sauna to release toxins
misc other  supplements which would include digestive enzymes sometimes

as you can see the use of these is low on my list because it has not been a regular part of my daily regiment like for instance l-glutamine powder which I use daily in my smoothies !!

God Bless you in your journey to better health!

Hi all I don't post much but have posted before. Following the conversations I just want to add a couple of things. 1- I am very down to earth friendly etc ... Willing to meet people so hit me up if you want to chat person to person.
2- yes it may be genetic - was on the phone with a cousin and she said something and I started coughing crazily! 3- I know what you all mean about dogs it's weird but they bark at me incessantly!  4- my children get reactions now ESP during pms and ovulation. 5- rinsing with Apple cider vinegar helps ... Also ingesting if you can get past taste. 6- I know this is going to be weird but I now make my toilet run...PLEASE let me know if you have noticed this --by run I mean make that random swishing sound when I am I'm close proximity. Piggy backing off freeland and introducing a crackpot theory, I think that there is something inside us that wants/ steals oxygen and the compounds change the air etc in order to get it ... Probably makes no since but I'm no scientist and I am half crazy with this mess . Trying to run a life with 3 children and a corporate job is ... We'll you can literally imagine !! My mother keeps bugging me about more activities for my kids, scheduling teacher conferences in person and oh yeah finding a man ... I'm like "dude ..."... Anyways I would live to chat with y'all ... Ps the Vimeo patm video I reached out to the director never heard anything ... I'd like to talk to the lady that was featured I totally understand her!
