A little contribution from me on this thread:

Off and on I´ve been trying to read up on neurotoxic substances. I have fluctuating muscle weakness in MG patterns but it´s not even necessarily MG.

I really feel like I´m grasping at straws with the neurotoxic topic in the same way as when we were trying to pinpoint exactly which food stuff/additive was responsible for my intolerances some years ago - it´s really difficult to isolate a single offender and keep all those external factors consistent.

I do know titanium dioxide is found in many day-to-day products but still here is what I found out over the last years:

Antibiotics with titanium dioxide – delayed bulbar followed by general limb weakness (12-16 hours)
Sedatives with titanium dioxide – delayed bulbar followed by general limb weakness (12-16 hours)
Q10 tablets with titanium dioxide - delayed bulbar followed by general limb weakness (12-16 hours)

I wonder if maybe it could be a possible allergic reaction to a neurotoxic substance - if its the Q10 - then I give up!…..

Anyway there aren´t that many tests done on this substance and these are not real tests proving one thing or another - just experiences I wanted to share with folks that might be interested.

Most CoQ-10 in this country now is delivered in softgel form
with a solubilizing agent. My ubiquinol does not have it listed.

So read your labels.

It appears much more common in sunscreens and cosmetic products.

That is good – I remember I got it on special offer in my part of world (import from Denmark) and maybe now I know why......
(Ingredients: Ubiquinon, titanium dioxide - palm oil too - like I said difficult to isolate one offender)
The minute I suspected it might be a culprit, I got into the habit of reading everything - even got the sales girl reading out the ingredients on the back of a tube of toothpaste at the supermarket for me when I forgot my own glasses.

We all do what we can.

One of the problems is that even if we do read those labels, not everything is stated on them. (for instance if for some reason you want to avoid genetically modified foods, there is no way for you to know which food product contains them or not).

Many times innocent appearing words such as-natural flavorings or fragrance, hide a host of chemicals we haven't even heard about.

Not to speak of misleading information such as natural, organic, green, not tested on animals-which give the impression of a safe and environmental friendly product when it is not.

I use the generic multivitamins that Walmart sells as a generic to Centrum Senior. They do not list titanium dioxide in their ingredients. At one time they did. I am assuming that they took it out.

I say "natural selection, start weeding!" What we've created just isn't worth it. Taking poison pills to counteract the effects of a poisoned environment...what kind of madness is this?
