I feel very disturbed after going to the AMNH SciCafe tonight. I asked if a person's bacteria biome could dictate why that person reacts to different types of medications differently and was told that they don't believe so, but that there is still much they don't know about the interaction between the bacteria and our bodies.
So, I still don't know why I react so violently to modern chemical medications, while herbal ones seem to work and why my system is so weird. I don't know of anyone my age that still consumes as much calcium as I do, or who sleeps to get rid of illness.
My contraction of fifths disease (parvovirus B19) as a child, Epstein-barr virus as an adult, and subsequent partial-paralization and immune issues due to complications from the medicine the doctor prescribed makes me concerned that there were lasting effects that are not normal. Codine, oxicodine, amoxociline, morphine, die-contrast, cigarette smoke, capsicum, onion and garlic oils, etc. They all cause me to have severe allergic reactions, and yet, I don't have the typical autoimmune symptoms like asthma and I no longer have anemia (a meat rich diet kicked that issue), so I don't think I am a 'normal' test case. Is this paranoia or am I on to something? I don't know and it makes me nervous.
