Toxicant-Induced Loss of Tolerance
A non-classical mechanism of widespread disease
A two step disease process involving
initiation/sensitization followed by triggers at low
level exposures
Examples: Autism, ADHD, chronic fatigue, gulf war
syndrome, combustion/fire incidents, chemical and
food intolerances, mold
Toxicant-Induced Loss of Tolerance
Symptoms more or less identical from people
who have been labeled as exhibiting different
diseases
Examples: Autism, ADHD, chronic fatigue, gulf
war syndrome, combustion/fire incidents,
chemical and food intolerances, mold
Incorporating innovation into alternatives analysis is crucial, especially in understanding toxicant-induced loss of tolerance. Dr. Nicholas Ashford explores the non-classical mechanism of widespread diseases like autism, ADHD, chronic fatigue, and more. The discussion delves into socially optimal pollution levels, efficient risk reduction strategies, and the complex symptoms arising from toxicant exposure.
