People Are Allergic To Me (PATM)

[HelplessHopeful]

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 haven’t had rash as described by some. I have never done the low fodmap diet either but I’m hoping to hear from other members that have done so.

I don’t think anyone got cure btw because they’d tell us because secrets generally don’t stay hidden for long. They just got sick of looking for answers and not find them. There are also those that found temporary measures like grateful2011 and hopeful and have moved on with their lives. I’m also mindful of people with similar problems such as bad breath, tmau, sibo and so on in this forum. There’s no clear way of distinction between members because of the shared common symptoms.

Breath test for me, no. I haven’t done it precisely for the reason that I think we need a thorough VOC examination in spite of fact special equipment is needed for it. Doctors and dentists don’t have such expensive equipments with them in private clinics and scarcely in many hospitals. There is a couple here at university but I don’t have access to them as an undergrad. It’s only for postgrad students. I was hoping my lab technician can help me but even he doesn’t have full access during off hours. There are strict rules on how to use them. It’s only through that we can rule out all sorts of suspicions.

I have to take up biology and chemistry as majors to lead in a path to have access to it in the future but currently I don’t.  I’m patient so I take things carefully and not in a rush. I was optimistic university students in this forum would help out by trying to do the test if they have access to them because it will be years before I do. I’ve gotten no response so far. Currently if I choose not to pursue a chemistry degree then we’ll have to wait for someone else to come along who is willing to study all the way to test them out. The concept of examining VOCs has been brought up by dozens in this forum since 2008 I believe but most of them learnt through the internet and have no idea how it works and the difficulty involved in the process but nevertheless brought it up to our attention.

My suspicion so far is that the gas that causes patm is just something common… a common gas. If I were to brainstorm, the easiest way to know is to compare the VOC chemical analysis of a patm person to a normal person. Any obvious existing VOC in huge comparable amounts to a normal person is the most likely source. It will give isotope spectrum readings like this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ObwiedniaPeptydu.gif which can be compared to a normal person. Huge spike readings from a patmer is expected on the anticipated VOC while a normal person will have a flat reading for that particular VOC.

I sincerely think there is no other test in this world that can satisfy our quest to understand patm other than this. It’s the most fundamental test that breaks down patm to the atomic level. It’s impossible for patm to remain a mystery at that level. Once the mysterious gas is identified everything else is attainable. We can throw a bone to the doctors and other researchers and they’ll do rest if we don’t want to continue.

It's been awhile since I last posted. It seems many of the people on this forum have disappeared or stopped posting. Well anyways I hope they are still following unless they have been cured.

For me anyways, still trying to find the answer to this "patm," I think I have something but do not have all the pieces yet. I was hoping you guys could answer a couple of questions for me. I have been reading all the old posts (from the beginning) and came a across many people reporting having a rash.

My question is where is the rash, can you describe it, size, appearance, color and any other info such as if it comes and goes etc. and whether it was checked out by a doctor.

My second question is unrelated to the first but I was wondering how many people have had a breath test ie. Hydrogen, lactulose, lactose, fructose and other types of breath tests and what were the results.

Finally has anyone done the low FODMAPS diet, if so what was the outcome.

Your response is greatly appreciated!

I was thinking we could all contact her with our stories, symptoms, ect.  
She does work on metabolites and such and since I feel are problems are dietary she could possibly help us.  Right now they are mapping the Metabolome like we did the Genome.  The Metabolome project is mapping all the metabolites that exist in our bodies.  Pretty exciting stuff.

I was wondering if we should reach out to Dr. Irene Gabashvili.  She used to have an active website "Aurametrix" but only her twitter account is active.  She also has a facebook page.  She is the scientific advisor for MEBO(TMAU).  I know she is involved in metabolites.  She might find us very interesting.  Any thoughts?

I literally eat whatever the hell I want btw.

Of course you can get better. All you need is to put some work into it. That is really desensitising yourself. I don't know yet what causes these 'allergic' reactions but it is all just a feeling  - the way you are feeling and you are able to project that onto someone else. That is how low we feel. For example if you feel nervous and sick and suddenly the fright literally freezes you youre projection literally goes there. But bottom Line its all just a feeling and I'm sure feelings can be overcome. What's interesting to me is I developed this feeling at 6 years old but ocd tripped its way in to backminish these feelings and when ocd went the feeling submerged its true reality. It is true in fact that people have created the personality that we have.
