Anyone around here with CPTP of any type CPT II or CPT2, etc, Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase? I just learn I have that as well. DARN! And I thought my world of discoveries was about finished. Great article in Wikipedia, though. Anyway, it is Familial, then triggered by such as heavy labor, fasting, high or low temperature environments, etc. Been there, done them all. Worked in environments from -50 F to +150 F in industries. Done heavy labor without eating or sleeping for 3 days, including 2 football practice sessions and a game and throwing about ten truckloads of hay bales. Ran half-marathons. Backpacked up to 15 days across Idaho with 70 pound packs because smaller people could not carry their own loads of food, etc.. Put this with my diabetes 2, various cancers, and Myeloma/ Gelsolin, and I can see how the CPT2 got started. oldkarl
