A Case History

This 46 year-old female (Case #56) suffered from constant headaches. Her history revealed she had been exposed to DDT and chlordane more than 10 years earlier. The patient reported her intense headaches began after her condo had been treated for ants. Her headaches became constant for several months before she came to BioTox. Blood serum tests indicated she had elevated levels of xylene, as well as metabolites of DDT and chlordane. Tests also indicated she had a strong antibody response to trimellitic anhydride, formaldehyde, and isocyanates.

She reported being sensitive to many chemicals, and generally feeling ill since the onset of her headaches. After she underwent the Bio-Toxic Reduction Program her headaches were relieved and she felt generally in good health. Several months later, however, she returned feeling very poorly with a jaundiced appearance. Blood tests indicated a serious liver problem. An MRI and CAT-Scan revealed a large mass in her liver which was determined to be a hemangioma. She began medical treatments to bolster her immune system and aid her liver, and later spent two more weeks in BTR. Within a few weeks her color was back to normal and her overall health had improved. She has felt fine since and has had no further complications, but is advised to avoid chemical exposures.

Toulene is a known central nervous system depressant. Because it is a fat-soluble, it accumulates in the fat with repeated exposures. Toluene exposure is often accompanied with isocyanate exposure, which compounds the effects of toluene on the body. Isocyanates and toluene together produce damaging effects on the immune system, depress the CNS, and may cause pulmonary sensitivity. Permanent chemical sensitivity may result from chronic exposure to toluene or isocyanates.
