"Every TRUTH passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the first, it is ridiculed. In the second, it is opposed. In the third, it is regarded as self-evident." ~~ Arthur Schopenhauer

The Tenth Paradigm Society mailing list is for the dissemination and discussion of information concerning the NO/ONOO- cycle mechanism, a new paradigm of human disease, proposed by Martin L. Pall, Ph.D.

Dr. Pall adopted the term "Multisystem Illness" to describe those diseases that fall under the tenth paradigm. They include: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/CFIDS/M.E.), Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Fibromyalgia (FM/FMS), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Gulf War Syndrome (GWS).

There are fourteen other illnesses which are suspected of falling under this new disease paradigm. They are: Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Asthma, Tinnitus, Post-Radiation Syndrome (experienced by clean-up workers at Chernobyl), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Autism, Overtraining Syndrome, Silicone Implant Associated Syndrome, Sudeck's Atrophy (a.k.a. Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy), Post-Herpetic Pain, Chronic Whiplash-Associated Disorder, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (a.k.a. ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease), Parkinson's Disease, and Alzheimer's Disease.

We will also discuss the research indications for treatment of these illnesses pointed to by the NO/ONOO- cycle and the implications for lifestyle, the environment and disability.
