There is alot more than just oxidative stress involved in MCS and environmental illness and includes as research is showing more and more, epigenetic changes. In addition, the pathology of the intestines directly impacts the liver where elevations in cytokines including TNF-a and Il-1b lead to changes in gene expression and neuroinflammation in the brain. It is important to understand these interactions and how conditions in the gut can influence it to really get the whole picture of environmental illness including MCS.
