This is interesting information, having been diagnosed with fibromyalgia myself, and I have a male relative the sufferers from this too. This is a very interesting discovery with the genetic link to Huntington’s disease.
I hope that doctors are reading up on the latest findings and obviously more ongoing research is going to continue. Hopefully a cure won’t be too far away. The exhaustion from this can be so debilitating just as much as the pain.

Poor lady going through this, any leaks from the breast is a red flag any woman knows this. Then discovering it’s gone into her lymphatic system, how heartbreaking. Mammograms are only done because it’s cheap. I am very firmly against mammograms because they put such pressure on delicate breast tissue that can cause damage to the soft tissue. Not just that though, any cyst within the tissue can rupture and leak causing more harm. Not to mention how painful the procedure is, that alone tells you it isn’t right. An ultrasound is only good for certain things, other than that you should have an MRI. I was told this by my GP years ago for this exact reason. MRI’s are not cheap so that’s why they are not usually done on women’s breasts. I was told it would cost over $500 a few years ago if I wanted it done. This can put it out of some women’s reach unfortunately. That should not be allowed to happen, it’s supposed to help save a life.
Women are often dismissed by doctors, who if they are male have no experience in what it’s like being a woman. How can they understand our hormones and what is really happening within a woman’s body when they have absolutely very little knowledge and experience in women’s health care. This does cost lives all too often.
I have had fibrous breasts since I was 19 and I mostly had ultrasounds due to the density of the tissue and severe pain with constant inflammation. I knew not to have mammograms as I was always aware of the harm they can do. I was very slim and small build so most of my life too. Not one doctor wanted to investigate to see why I was having all these problems. They were totally stumped to explain what was wrong.
This poor lady though has been through such suffering and she should only have MRI’s due to the dense tissue. I am so glad that she went to the media with her experience and I pray that she has a good health outcome and no more recurring problems. It certainly pays to be vigilant with one’s health and press the doctor to investigate further.

Pretty serious stuff here. We all know what ever a mother consumes goes into the baby too, whether in the womb or after birth and receiving breast milk. So chemicals are obviously going to cross over from mother to baby.

I always thought this was a joke as I can’t honestly say that I have noticed this, but apparently it’s not. Facebook is running advertisements about this at present, so I decided to google it and it is true. This waxy build up starts around the age of 40 and you need to wash yourself daily including your hair as your scalp is prone to noneal odour too not to forget the natural oils in our scalp. Individuals don’t notice it on themselves but apparently others do.
The experts say exfoliating twice a week is important in reducing the noneal odour. To remove the odour and oily buildup on bedding (think of those individuals that don’t wash their sheets weekly, eww) and clothing. But by adding half a cup white vinegar to your washing machine each wash this supposedly helps remove the odour. White vinegar is actually an alternative to fabric conditioner and keeps bath towels soft.
The recommended air purifiers with hepa filters indoors is touted by the experts or opening windows for fresh air; and removes odours from your house. We should be ventilating our home daily as it is. There is nothing worse than stale air in our house and the build up of mould into the bargain.
Persimmon soap and body wash is recommended for the removal of this noneal odour, along with green tea and witch hazel to break down the waxy barrier on skin and fabrics. The noneal smell is removed instantly with the soap or body wash but it does return they say so daily showers are recommended. Washing clothes, sheets and towels apparently takes up to 30 days to remove. Using enzyme breaking down detergent like Biozet.
This is all recommended along with elimination of certain foods and alcohol which are also a contributing cause of noneal odour too.
Now googling side effects the AI overview shows that some people will develop skin sensitivity to Persimmons tannins which act as an astringent drying out the skin causing irritation. So you need a skin moisturiser to rectify this. Contact dermatitis and hives is another problem with this product if you have sensitive skin.
Not only that but persimmons stains fabric orange or brown, but supposedly washes out, so think about that. Is it really worth all the advertising hype to get people to but the product. I don’t think so personally and as a person with very sensitive skin I would not be able to use this sort of product.
As a fruit Persimmon is very high in nutrients and helps with age related eye health, blood pressure, daily fibre intake and promotes good gut health. High in vitamins A and C, reducing inflammation and improving immune function. So I think eating the fruit is a better option plus a regular intake of water up to 2 litres per day, to flush out toxins and stay hydrated.
Omg, These poor women and suffering for so long and dismissed by doctors, even female GP’s suffering from this and never knew this condition existed. That is because very little proper medical research is done on women’s health. Hormones are very complex and should not be just brushed aside as women being emotional and hysterical.
Please share this with other people to bring awareness to this condition and the harm that it does to the sufferers and their families.
