The difference appears to be that toxic exposures cause the chronic porphyria, and someone doesn't want the people to know what may result in up to 20 per cent of mankind! It's up to you to fight this if you have a chronic and/or environmental illness. Fight both the poisoning of the environment and thus of mankind; and, if you are found to have abnormal levels of porphyrins, fight the claims that this doesn't mean anything. For many people with chronic and/or environmental illness, porphyria may be a sort of “last piece of the puzzle". It also accounts for many food reactions when a patient is told by his/her physician, "I've done all these allergy tests and didn't find any evidence of allergic reaction". Food allergy tests are negative because the reaction is not an allergic (antibody) reaction but a metabolic porphyric reaction involving the cytochrome P450 enzymes. The porphyria piece of the puzzle should be tested for in people suffering from MCS, EMFS, "universal" food reactivity, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, ME, Alzheimer's, hypoglycaemia, autism, Gulf War syndrome, 9/11 responder illness, asthma, ulcers, "mental" illness (anxiety, panic, depression, schizophrenia), and other illnesses as links develop in the future.
