Hi Folks,

I am hoping someone can help.

I am a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome sufferer from Western Australia who has not
had any cause officially identified.
I have not had any of the conditions which usually cause it such as
Glandular Fever or Ross River Virus and being 24, I can recall times back in
High School where I was very tired without known cause. It is my opinion
that my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has been developing from a young age rather
than coming about from any definable event. I was only diagnosed after
seeking treatment for headaches while studying hard. Because of the slow
onset of my condition and knowing that one cause of the symptoms is some
Organophosphates, I believe that Organophosphate exposure may be the cause
of my symptoms.

I have been helped by using Marine Evening Primrose Oil (I use Efamarine).
This has helped me with many of my symptoms but it is no cure.

Here are the current ideas that I am working on:

It is known that CFS can be caused by Glandular Fever, Ross River Virus and
exposure to some Organophosphates.
Weather the cause of a person's CFS be viral or chemical, the common
symptoms suggest that the effect on the body is similar. It would appear
therefor that Organophosphates have a contributing role in both viral and
chemical causes.
At least most Organophosphates work as nerve toxins.

I think that the reason why CFS sufferers have so many common symptoms while
commonly having minor variations in the selection from common symptoms is
due to the nerve toxin spread throughout the body. Depending on the
specifics of the particular Organophosphates entering, the method of entry
into the body, the state of the body prior to entry and the specific
genetics of the individual, these all will affect where the nerve toxins
will do the most damage in the body accounting for the various differences
in symptoms.

Although there are many symptoms that do not appear to be nervous system
related, I believe there are many nerve regulated systems in the body that
can be affected by a nerve toxin.

With it being a nerve toxin problem as I see it, any cure must first see
remaining toxins neutralised or removed.
Hopefully with removal, the problem will correct itself but then also help
with natural repair may be necessary.

If the CFS cause has not been viral, then identification of the source is
necessary. Treatment of the source or a sufferer's removal from that source
is also necessary.

*****
What I will be looking for is anyone to help me to investigate my above
theories.
Testing for the presence of Organophosphates where I live.
Finding antidotes to any of the Organophosphates found.

Hands on help is best but links to specific sites would also help.
Since I have CFS, my energy for researching my condition is limited.

Any information, feedback or advice greatly appreciated.
