gotta love it
these big gun high techmedicos people are closing in on what a lot of us here at CHMB have been putting together for some time now by looking at anecdotal accounts
looking better all the time

an interesting "accessory" bit - extending the article Drummer posted:
you usually hear the oxygen works because it is a vasoconstrictor
yes it is BUT
that is not all it does
and one of the effects of high O2 content in the blood is to kick in OTHER responses as well
one of them is to boost the hypothalamic activity involving melatonin-seratonin generation and thus stimulate exactly the same receptor areas that that most of the current research is indicating in rethinking CH as a PRIMARILY neurological event, usually LEADING to accompanying vascular inflammation
they say when you hear hoofbeats think horses, not zebras
but that only applies if you are in horse country, not out on the veldt where the zebras are
and from all I see-
I say this @#$%&**() disease has b&w stripes all over it
