“…Other authors attributed the disease to bacterial or viral infections (Bullock & Herman, ; Hemdal, ; Varner & Lewis, ). Also, different water compositions (Untergasser, ; Noga, ; Pro, ; Roberts & Palmeiro, ; Katharios et al, ), the use of activated carbon (Stamper, Kittell, Patel, & C. A. L., ), stress (Bartelme, ) and genetic predispositions (Bartelme, ) have been suggested as a cause of the disease. Nutritional imbalances including vitamin C deficiencies (Collins, ) and mineral imbalances (Noga, ) have also been suggested causing HITH disease.…”
