Epstein and pedophile Catholic priest survivors may share a health issue: PTSD causes autoimmune disorder years later SERIES CONt'D

In recent Congressional hearings several Epstein survivors said they are now diagnosed with PTSD. In 1996 a PTSD diagnosis finally gave me an explanation for what had been wrong with me for decades. 

Unfortunately when someone has PTSD for decades it can develop into autoimmune disease which is what is going on with me now at age 78 and a big reason I renamed this blog DIY Hospice along with Heating Planet in late 2025. 

I seem to be recovering now enough to get back to work and have picked up Virginia's book to continue reading where I'm finding lots and lots of stuff to put in blog posts in the near future. 

Meanwhile, I want to share this information about autoimmune disease caused by PTSD here as a kind of Public Service as… life goes on.

If you have PTSD for a long period of time, it can and probably will develop into an autoimmune disease

I know about this just at an anecdotal level because I interviewed about a hundred Pedophile priest victims between 2006 and 2016 

The autoimmune disease for me has made me allergic to almost everything.(Read more at bottom)

Meanwhile here is some print information from the internet about how being in a state of constant stress and tension from PTSD for weeks on end can do damage to your nervous system which is all over your body. ***

AI Overview

PTSD and autoimmune diseases 

The Biological Link

Trauma and prolonged stress cause your central nervous system to get stuck in "fight or flight" mode. This constant state of emergency alters your immune function and causes the prolonged release of pro-inflammatory markers (like C-reactive protein and interleukins). Over time, this chronic inflammation damages tissues and unmasks a predisposition to autoimmune responses, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Associated Autoimmune Conditions

Research indicates a higher prevalence of several specific autoimmune diseases among individuals with a history of trauma, including: [1]

• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythmatosus)
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD, like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis)
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
• Autoimmune thyroid diseases (such as Hashimoto's) [1, 2, 3]

Management and Treatment

If you are navigating both conditions, a multidisciplinary approach is highly effective.

• Psychiatric Care: Addressing PTSD through trauma-informed therapies (such as EMDR or Cognitive Processing Therapy) and potentially medications can lower stress-hormone levels, which naturally calms the immune system. Interestingly, some clinical studies show that patients with PTSD who take specific antidepressants like SSRIs experience a reduced rate of autoimmune disease. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Integrative Support: Anti-inflammatory diets, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and regular, low-impact exercise are often used alongside traditional medicine to help regulate inflammatory pathways. [1, 2, 3]

For more information, you can read about the physiological impact of stress on the body in the Healthline Overview on Autoimmune Diseases and PTSD or explore clinical research on the immune system in PTSD available in Nature.

POST NOTE: Recently, I finally found a way to soothe inflamed oozing rash by wrapping it with cotton fabric, but it turns out the cotton t-shirts in my closet also contained just a tiny amount of elastic 

A couple years ago I discovered I'm allergic to elastic all of a sudden, probably because it's made now in Vietnam and places with rubber trees and I think they're using something really low quality to make the elastic.

Whatever, I'm unable to wear underwear as a result. because almost all underwear has elastic in it. I joked to a friend that I was wearing my underwear on the outside now because of the allergy but that didn't work because then my arms rub against it and I get hives everywhere. I wonder how many others with PTSD induced autoimmune disease allergies now have to walk around their houses half naked because of this new elastic.

I'm just writing this to give the Epstein survivors an idea of what they're up for in the future unless Medical Science figures out a way to stop autoimmune disease.

USA destroyed by video

Trump is depleting usa, soon we will have no money credit allies and most important no munitions. I think that's when whoever is behind this coup since 2010 will come forward and take over the country and face it, we will have no way to fight back. 

rip usa 

Also no strategic oil Reserve oh my God what we are in for hold on it's going to be a bumpy bunch o' months to come

Early 2013 Barack Obama went to Congress and asked them to investigate Fox News after he had been shocked by what people were believing during the 2012 election. But 2013 was already too late, the disinformation was already entrenched in Congress and they would not even take up the idea and attacked the President with the new anti-American vitriol right there in the capitol building. I'm not usually this discouraged but I've been shouting to do something about this since at least 2012 and... 

This attack on us was so unconventional we are 30 years behind the power curve now to fight back. We would have to deprogram all the brainwashed Americans and make them turn off the propaganda stations; Fox News should have been unplugged decades ago. I have no idea what we can do from here but someone with some Authority and Power in US gov better figure it out soon. 

I think years from now there will not be 50 States but we will have split up, and the more I learn about Mexico the more I hope my home California ends up joining them. I also am not afraid of China in fact they've lifted their whole population up from poverty; some of the worst poverty in world history was in China 50 years ago and now they're thriving. So if China ends up running USA I'm fine with that too because I don't think Communists are Boogeyman I think they're smart so shoot me oops shouldn't say that. I'm 78 years old and dying literally I can feel it day by day and so this Trump embroglio has for me turned into a fascinating Spy novel come true to watch and read as I prepare to leave the planet. Remember, I used to have the same Billet as JD vance, p a o in the Naval Reserves e4 checking out for now

USA, the military might it was, got destroyed by messaging on video screens and I think I remember people predicting something like this long time ago like 1970s

Pedophile Priest & Epstein crime parallels SERIES SO FAR, Both had Islands in the Caribbean and isolated ranches in NM; Both use money to silence Victims; Doctrine from above gave them both immunity.

Epstein NDAs parallel Catholic payouts re pedophile priests; both have hidden agenda

The cash settlements that went out to some survivors may be another parallel between pedo-priest and Epstein crimes for this series, I thought, but I didn't yet see that connection. Then as I was putting dishes away I heard this monologue from the other room, and it gave me the chills because it looks like Yes, here is yet another parallel between the crimes of 10,000 Catholic priests, as uncovered a few years ago, and the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein being discovered now.

Apparently, large sums of money are used to silence victims of both Epstein and the Catholic priests, although no one came right out and said that's what the Vatican and the United States Bishops were doing, it just automatically happened; because when survivors got a million dollars or more all of a sudden in the bank, they didn't feel motivated to be activists anymore. I experienced that first hand; I watched plaintiffs who were involved in every demonstration or activity about the pedophile priests, some dating back to the 1990s, just disappear after they got their checks, even though they swore they would never. Meanwhile, the rest of us who got maybe five figures or Nothing At All In settlements, were split into a different group. We couldn't afford cruises and shopping sprees so the Pedophile priest activist movement split almost in half

It's Human Nature.

So I was looking for a way to warn the Epstein survivors to watch out for large cash settlements because they often come with behind the scenes agenda, and I heard this dialogue:

From: Julian Dorey GOES SCORCHED EARTH on Epstein Client Running From Congress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrSMl_8H2OY 

"Regarding the NDAs. Number one, Epstein's potential involvement.

2:47

Committee chairman James Comer stated that lawmakers wanted to uncover whether Jeffrey Epstein was involved in drafting the NDAs, writing the terms, or allocating the funds to women. You're going to hear about the work he did for Leon Black, so it's very possible he could have been involved in all that. 

The fixer allegations.

The committee is investigating claims previously raised by Senate Democrats that Epstein may have acted as a fixer to secure the

3:08

silence of women who were paid tens of millions of dollars. And then shared accusers. Lawmakers noted that more than one of Epstein's accusers had also previously accused Black of sexual misconduct. 

Lawmakers are seeking to determine if the NDAs were used to suppress those allegations. I'd say that's all pretty relevant. It's all pretty relevant.

While we're at it, here's another warning for Epstein survivors from a pedophile priest survivor. Be aware and suspicious of nonprofits that show up and claim to represent you, especially if they have a lot of money to spend and yet whenever you ask them to do something they say oh no we don't do that enough said from me for a while on that maybe this is a good place to link to City of Angels 2 think of that as a clue for now

HERE IS A BETTER VERSION OF THE STORY: 

Monday, January 18, 2010

Watching the film 'Taken' brings up the time I got kidnapped in Paris and they almost sold me to the Arabs. But I escaped thanks to a genuine miracle

I watched "Taken" and got sick for a week, theug up this story from City of Angels 1:

It was 1966 and in California if someone had long hair and jeans you automatically identified them as a fellow traveler in the counter culture, a fellow hippie, a stranger who was not a stranger. I was 17 and thought things would be the same in Paris, France, so I may even have been the one who struck up a conversation with the two guys in the Left Bank bookstore. I did ask them if they knew where to get some LSD, as I had promised my sister I'd bring some acid back for her to try, when I left her apartment in Geneva, Switzerland.

The two guys said they knew where to get lalalalala, don’t remember the name of it, a drug they said was not LSD but like LSD, so I said, great let’s go.

Went off with them willingly and enthusiastically. Like the two girls in "Taken."

They explained to me as best my high school French understood that their house was out in the suburbs of Paris. I thought it was funny that Paris even had suburbs. We went to my hotel to get my stuff, then rode the train out to their house, this big empty house in a town a long way out on the train line.

1966 "suburban" Paris, a small quiet town, all the houses had huge fences, private.

We walked about a block from the train to this two-story brick and stone house surrounded by a 10 foot fence, and a yard with trees. You entered through a gate.

I was a 17 year old girl hooked up and ready to party.

No virgin, a 17 year old Southern California natural blond tanned girl with an early anorexic body and Polish curves -- probably some kind of fantasy come true for these French guys, but I was really unaware of being sexy at that time. I was just natural in a sundress and sandals and little else sitting in this kitchen outside Paris drinking wine and eating something home cooked with these two French guys and then taking this drug thinking we would just party like the hippies in L.A.
***

"Hey, this drug isn't at all like LSD," is one of the last things I said before I just fell asleep. I woke up locked in a bedroom upstairs, groggy, and then for days they would come in and have sex with me, usually while I just laid there. Whether I wanted to or not, and they kept feeding me the drug.

Somewhere in the middle of the first night it segued from consensual sex to forced... I hate to have to admit that.

How this story ties in with the pedophile priest stories here at City of Angels is the lack of boundaries I had, at seventeen, going off with two strange guys in Paris France in the first place, my body already this thing that just gave in to sex, wherever or whatever.

Also, the way I escaped from these two guys is a direct tie to the experience, as it was a miracle.

A genuine miracle.

**************

A few days in, strangely, my door wasn’t locked and I heard men talking downstairs, so I crept to the top of, then tiptoed down a few steps to listen. In the living room the two guys who were drugging me were in an animated conversation with two men who looked and sounded Arabic. I crept down lower and peaked at them.

It was hard to understand the Parisian French but I understood enough to know they were describing me, how it felt to touch my skin, the Skin! They kept repeating it, “le peau le teint.”

And they talked about money.

I shivered there on the stairs realizing, “They’re selling me to the Arabs.”

And I freaked.

Got to get outta here.

I listened longer, understood a little more, enough to know the deal was done and I was going to end up someplace like a harem in Arabia in a few hours. (This was 1966.)

Then all the guys left, without even checking on me, which was weird. Looking back now, maybe they’d been up in the bedroom earlier while I was drugged and knocked out, and didn't realize they hadn’t locked the door when they left, and then they didn't want to make the Arab guys wait ...

So the French guys left without checking on me and I knew I had no more than a few minutes to get out of that house.

I had this big white suitcase with all the clothes a 17-year-old girl carries with them. I lugged that Samsonite down the stairs. In every room on the ground floor the windows were nailed shut. I ran to the kitchen and checked and all the doors of course the doors were all all locked, they had me locked in.

The windows nailed shut, all the doors locked except one, the door that led to the basement.

So I dragged the huge white suitcase (this was pre-plastic, it was HEAVY) behind me down the narrow basement staircase in that old French country now suburban house.

In the basement there were laundry tubs, huge vat-like sinks, and above one tub was one small window at ground level.

These laundry basins were huge, like they could hold sheets or curtains to wash by hand a century ago. I saw I could climb up the ceramic and then crawl through that one window. That tiny window. I climbed up and barely pulled myself through, then went to pull out the suitcase and get us to freedom.

But the suitcase was too big.

Remember I was a 17 year old girl from L.A. and I wasn’t going to leave behind all my clothes. So I pulled and pulled and pulled and the suitcase was just plain larger than the window. This was a stone mortar brick building, nothing was going to give but I kept pulling and pulling trying to get the suitcase through.

Then there was a BLLLLLLNNNNNNGGGG sound.

It came with the wind through the trees. There are even angelic voices in the sound as I remember it today.

Whatever, there was a BLLLLNNNNGGG and the suitcase came through the window. The solid 1960s pre-plastic quality Samsonite bulging suitcase came through the century old too small tiny window, which was surrounded by brick and stone wall surrounded by more brick and stone wall.

I was able to pull the suitcase through and get out of there. The too big suitcase came through the too small window and I got away.

It was a miracle. Looking back on it, that's the only way to explain it.

Then I had to climb a tree and throw the suitcase over the fence then jump down myself. I scrambled in the direction I could hear the train, and got to the station, got out of the block before the two French guys came back with the Arabs.

I got away.

If I hadn't gotten away I probably would have ended up like the teenage girls in the movie "Taken," sold as merchandise to some oil magnate shiek.

***********

The Miracle

Later in life I realized that while I was being "sexualized" by a Catholic priest at age five in 1953, God must have looked down and said, this girl is going to have a lot of trouble in life. So God or whoever that is dispatched a couple of extra angels down to watch over me. And that's how I got out of that house outside Paris where the two French guys were getting ready to sell me to the Arabs.

It's the main reason I say it’s a wonder I made it to age 19.

*****

But watching "Taken" last week made me sick. Good movie, but it made me sick.

Or maybe it was the Carl's Junior burger from the day before.

************

There was a man at the train station that day outside Paris, when I escaped, and I also now think of that man as some kind of an angel in connection to the experience.

I must have looked pretty disheveled, drugged, scared, shaking, but trying to act cool. This older French man sat next to me and he asked if I needed help. He asked something like well how much can you pay for a hotel and started reaching in his pocket. I reached in my suitcase and pulled out this wad of American Express checks I had with me and he was amazed, stopped reaching for his wallet and said, "Well then in that case you should go to the Hilton Hotel, the new Hilton they just built downtown, the Paris Hilton, it's just for Americans, to make them feel at home," and I thought yeah good idea.

I wonder why the two French guys who kidnapped me didn't steal the American Express checks. Maybe they were going to have me sign them later... I don't know, but all my checks were still in the white suitcase.

I took the train to downtown Paris, checked into the brand new Paris Hilton, where everyone was going overboard to do everything American, just like they portrayed on Mad Men Season Two a few months back ...

It felt so good to feel the American-ness of the Paris Hilton Hotel that day. On my way to my room I stopped to get a magazine. All I could find, or all I saw in English, was an issue of Playboy.

I went to my room and luxuriated, and with room service a couple of nights, recovered from the “trauma” as we’d call it today. I was alone at age 17, achy in a hotel room from several days of involuntary sex, shaking as I detoxed, but not really even thinking about the Arab guys. I had developed and practiced PTSD techniques since age five, and was using them now to rush away from the experience and not look at it closely.

As always, going faster than the speed of life, in order to avoid looking at life.

Don't think I ever even thought about the way I almost got sold to the Arabs again until soon after my daughter was born, in 1989 or 1990. Then I started writing it and writing it over and over trying to form it into a literary work. Like this time, yet again.

It was twenty years later when I had a baby that I slowed down enough to realize what had happened to me in Paris in 1966.

I got a trip to Europe for my high school graduation present.

After escaping, I found nurturing and comfort there in the Paris Hilton Hotel in 1966, diving into the pages of Playboy Magazine.

********

Considering I'm just one of thousands of adult victims of pedophile priests, I wonder how many others, as teenagers and in early twenties, ended up in dangerous situations

Even ended up dead

Due to sexual compulsions they would never have had, if they hadn't been aroused as a growing child by a Catholic priest.

It's no leap of faith to say a lot of the victims of the pedophile epidemic in the Catholic Church did not make it into adulthood...
