I was always of the belief that PATM was due to methylation and candida issues. These issues may still be at the route of our problems, but I think the allergic reactions are due to particles in the air, which become airborne in our presence. I can't speak for anyone else, but at least for me, the reactions can happen through glass and around corners. It sounds crazy, but I have noticed particles in the air all around me - lots of particles. I am also often shocked by metal and sometimes I even have the ability to shock other people when I touch them. Headphones never last more than a month for me and I almost always hear background static when listening to music on them. All of these observations point toward static electricity as a potential issue.
A few days ago, I found this article: https://incompliancemag . com/article/static-electricity-and-people/ which is very interesting and says, "There is, however, one physical effect of static electricity that has some likelihood of causing physiological or hygienic problems: the effect an electric field around a person has on airborne particulates. If a person is positively charged, he or she will attract negatively charged particles from the air. Or, as a physicist might prefer to phrase it, the field around the body will enhance the plateout of negatively charged particles onto the clothes and exposed skin. But neutral particles will also be attracted, because they will be polarized, and because the fields, in general, will always be inhomogeneous. The field around a person may, as explained above, originate from charges being separated by walking on an insulated floor covering. But it may also be caused by proximity to a television or computer monitor."
Any thoughts on this? I've been suffering with PATM for at least 18 months now. I don't know how long I've had it, but I noticed it when I started working in an office environment after college. The more research and observation that I have put into the issue, the more I believe it is an issue of static electricity and some sort of ionic imbalance in our bodies - perhaps due to low methylation or candida or other imbalances. This could explain why sugar free diets and supplements help some people. I know my observations may not be applicable to everyone on this forum, but I wanted to share my break throughs in the hope that we can collaborate to find a cure or at least more relief from this pain.
