French people produce pheromones that pure-blooded French people find pleasurable—meaning they won't sneeze in response to those specific pheromones—because pheromone receptors differ between the French and the rest of the world... but then someone might say, "Well, I know white French people who dislike my scent and sneeze non-stop around my PATM"... —those people don't have 100% French DNA; they carry DNA from other regions of the world, that's why their receptors are different, causing them to feel aversion and disgust and to sneeze instead of feeling pleasure... since it's very common in France not to have 100% French DNA, the likelihood of having a different pheromone receptor is very high... that is the true cause of PATM... but then there's Japan—a different race—and perhaps, just perhaps, the French and Japanese share this pheromone (androstenone) in common, yet possess other, distinct pheromones unique to their respective races... or maybe those Japanese individuals with PATM actually possess French DNA and the French pheromone...

I suspect that not everyone who thinks they have PATM actually has it; they likely have TMAU (which is different from PATM) or another condition. To qualify as PATM, it has to cause frequent sneezing—otherwise, I don't consider it PATM. My PATM causes frantic, rapid-fire sneezing—like a machine gun.

In men, the cause of PATM is androstenone or androstadienone (male pheromone), and in women, the cause of PATM is estratetraenol (female pheromone).

High concentrations of androstenone (which is the cause of PATM) activate the trigeminal nerve and trigger sneezing!!

Sometimes I catch that vanilla scent on myself... exactly the smell of androstenone... it really is pheromones, gentlemen!

The idea that French people don't bathe is a myth; the reality is that they produce far more pheromones than other races. This perception varies from one group to another: the French naturally feel attraction and pleasure when smelling their own pheromones, whereas other races feel repulsion and disgust—because pheromone receptors and neural circuits differ; they evolved differently.

The idea that French people don't bathe is a myth; the reality is that they produce far more pheromones than other peoples. This perception varies from one group to another: the French naturally feel attraction and pleasure when smelling their own pheromones, whereas other peoples feel repulsion and disgust—because pheromone receptors and neural circuits differ; they evolved differently. And there's more: I am certain that many people with PATM have French DNA.

People with PATM have much higher-than-normal levels of sex hormones—it’s like being two meters tall. This excess of sex hormones reduces FMO3 expression, leading to secondary TMAU (trimethylaminuria); that is why many people with PATM also have TMAU. And to answer the question of why others react when we speak or have our mouths open: pheromones may be stored in the salivary glands in large quantities—which is why people react when we talk. It is a prediction of my theory that we have high levels of pheromones in our salivary glands.

We're producing a lot of androstenone, which is a pheromone... this excess androstenone inhibits the CYP2E1 enzyme—which is important for the elimination and metabolism of toluene and its conversion into benzaldehyde—so the more androstenone we produce, the more toluene and the less benzaldehyde we have; that's exactly what the tests show... people aren't reacting to the toluene, but rather to the ANDROSTENONE... which is much more potent. Androstenone receptor sensitivity varies from person to person: some perceive it as a very strong, disgusting sweat odor, others as sweet vanilla, and some smell nothing at all... and if it isn't androstenone, it's something very similar—but it's definitely a pheromone...

We emit toluene, which triggers a sense of pleasure in the brain; while all humans emit toluene, individuals with PATM release it in excess. Toluene acts on humans like a sexual pheromone; it is likely shared across all human races—a universal pheromone—though each race would also possess other pheromones, creating a unique pheromonal cocktail: toluene mixed with pheromones specific to that race. https://www.science.org/content/article/huff-equals-puff

The toluene we emit is actually generating pleasure in people's brains... because it triggers the release of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens. https://www.science.org/content/article/huff-equals-puff

Let's say we undergo a new mutation that creates a new pheromone, but it triggers strong repulsion and sneezing in others because they possess the ancestral version of the receptor. There are 8 billion people in the world... so, suppose I undergo a genetic mutation and start producing a hypothetical new pheromone called "2,5-hydroxyplouyfroufrou." Everyone on Earth would hate me, but it’s possible that about nine people worldwide might have a rare mutation in a specific pheromone receptor that causes extreme attraction and pleasure in response to my new pheromone. If I happened to meet them during my lifetime, you would love me—but the problem is, you’d likely never see me. That’s how species evolve. I live in Spain, but the nine people with that rare receptor mutation—the ones who feel extreme pleasure from my new pheromone—are scattered: two in India, one in China, three in Africa, one in the US, one in South America, and—coincidentally—one in Bulgaria. So, I’d probably never meet them... though the Bulgarian might be the most likely candidate.
