Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, author of From Fatigued to Fantastic and Pain Free 1-2-3; Medical Director of the Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers Inc
A brilliant treatise that brings us closer to a 'unified field theory' explaining the underlying causes and pathophysiology behind CFS, FMS, and many other poorly understood syndromes . . . and also closer to effective treatment! My thanks and appreciation to Professor Pall for his excellent and ground-breaking work.

Paul R. Cheney, MD, PhD
A stunning expose on what is surely a central thesis of chronic, unexplained and fatiguing illness; namely, that oxidative stress mechanisms hold the key to any holistic viewpoint. He writes as a truth-seeker and as a biological scientist with a well reasoned and well documented style. This book could easily mark the end of the beginning of a more complete understanding of this complex field which is a trillion dollar nightmare of human misery and bio-political inattention.

Stephen A. Levine, PhD; president and CEO of Allergy Research Group; co- author of Antioxidant Adaptation: Its Role in Free Radical Pathology
Has clearly demonstrated the weight of the molecular evidence regarding these targeted diseases: chemical hypersensitivities, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and post-traumatic stress, and that their causation and progression implicates redox imbalances, or in other words, electronic imbalances. His model is unique in explaining the overlapping nature of these diseases (comorbidity), and explaining why they were previously so difficult to understand, diagnose and effectively treat. Dr. Pall has integrated a massive amount of molecular/biochemical data (this feat is astonishing to me) in order to present a well crafted model, which should convince serious minded scientists and doctors that these conditions are strongly associated with reactive molecular fragments, oxidative species and that inflammation and immune abnormalities are the consequences. The options for therapy are intriguingly varied, generally with attractive safety profiles. The political/environmental implications of this work are vast, and must be embraced for the health of all of us across the globe

Helpful Model for Unexplained Illness
Dr. Pall's research and recommended treatment saved me. The core of my treatment for a variety of neurological and digestive problems involves his recommended techniques for down-regulating the NO/ONOO cycle. My improvement relies on specific supplements to turn down reactivity combined with avoidance of chemical and food irritants. I only dared read this book once I had recovered sufficiently to have hope again. Within its pages I found helpful advice, well-supported scientific explanations for my "weird" symptoms and some sobering observations. The lack of recognition of chemical toxicity leads to incredible suffering and financial hardship. Dr. Pall's book should be compulsory reading for every doctor. The biochemical mechanisms he describes should be researched thoroughly so that there can be proven treatments for the growing number of people with "unexplained illness". Also there needs to be increased awareness and regulation of those "harmless" chemicals that are literally destroying lives.

Thank you, Dr. Pall
I got some information and help, but as someone who reacts to books and ink, it was difficult for me to read. I'd like to see this made available on CD, or electronic version.... and maybe a simplified version for those of us who aren't very technical to begin with. Although, reading it electronically may have cleared some things up for me. I did pass it on to my more technically minded sister, who I'm sure will help me understand.

If you have any of the illnesses that are "unexplained", you really should try to read this. Even if you don't get it all, it may help you some with the direction to move for improvement.

I thank you, Dr. Pall, for your research and writing on this. Blessings on you and yours!

Thank you, Dr. Pall!
How wonderful it would be if all aspiring physicians were required to read this book! So many in the medical community are not aware of the mystery illnesses which Dr. Pall researches and writes about. If you have Multiple Chemical Sensitivty, Gulf War Syndrome, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or you know or love someone who does, then this is the book for you. Dr. Pall's book is well-researched and documented as well as understandable. He's been there so he "gets it," and he offers some help and hope to people who live with these debilitating conditions. Don't miss this book! It's definitely a worthwhile read.
