Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome "There are no simple answers to conditions where causes lie in a mix of nutritional deficiencies, acquired toxicities, bowel dysbiosis, inadequate stress coping abilities, sensitivities and allergies, inappropriate or excessive medication, inadequate sugar control mechanisms, hormonal imbalances, poor posture and breathing dysfunction, current or past viral, parasitic, yeast or bacterial infections, impaired organs of digestion and elimination, emotional distress..... and more. There are certainly no magic bullets which can remedy a situation which may have taken many years to evolve. These are a growing army of these walking wounded, the ‘vertically ill’ who are too sick to function adequately but are commonly not quite sick enough to become ‘horizontally ill’, actually bed bound, although this is all too often an outcome in severe examples. Unless there is an underlying awareness of the true nature and causes of such conditions, and until there is a real understanding of the ways in which it is possible to offer encouragement for an abused and over-stretched immune system to begin to restore health, many forms of proffered help (orthodox or alternative) will succeed only in either masking or, at best, moderating the patient’s symptoms."

The Role of Magnesium in Fibromyalgia

Over six million people suffer with from Fibromyalgia. Now you don't have to "Just learn to live with it" 
The Fibromyalgia Recovery Program
"Fibromyalgia affects approximately 10,000,000 people in the United States and Canada. There are some estimates that would place that number even higher. The incidence of fibromyalgia is greater the farther North you go. The average age at onset is between 35 and 55 years old, but fibromyalgia can affect any age. Approximately 90% of those affected are female. The average time between the onset of symptoms and the establishment of a diagnosis is 5 years." Rob Robertson, M.D.

Related to rheumatoid arthritis, it too is an autoimmune disorder involving muscular pain, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, depression,  chest pain, low-grade fever, swollen lymph nodes, insomnia, frequent abdominal pain, irritable bowel syndrome, and depression, may accompany the muscle pain.Fibromyalgia is a painful disorder for which mainstream medicine has no solution other than heavy, and often ineffective, use of painkillers, along with lifestyle changes. It affects 20 million Americans, with high rates of occurrence in women. Related to rheumatoid arthritis, it too is an autoimmune disorder involving muscular pain, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, depression,  chest pain, low-grade fever, swollen lymph nodes, insomnia, frequent abdominal pain, irritable bowel syndrome, and depression, may accompany the muscle pain. Now you don't have to "Just learn to live with it" 

Dr. Rob Robertson and Dr. William Hennen present: The Fibromyalgia Recovery Program 

To inquire about ordering the Fibromyalgia Recovery Program on CD please 

Dr. Rob Robertson has produced a video to help educate all of us about the challenges associated with Fibromyalgia (FM), and what you can do for yourself to begin your road to recovery.  If you have been diagnosed with FM, you know very well the variety of symptoms that that can challenge you every day. 

Perhaps you have been told by a well-meaning but uniformed doctor that you will "just have to learn to live with it."   Well guess what... you do have options.  The good news is, your symptoms can be diminished or reduced by using natural, nutritional products that address these symptoms. 

Dr. William Hennen M.D. has created two natural products that are FM specific.  They are FibroAMJ, a day-time formula, and a night-time formula for those of you who suffer from unrefreshing sleep.  Dr. Hennen also brings us transfer factors, the ultimate immune boosting natural product. 

Rita is a 52-year-old with a history of chronic bone and muscle pain that affected her on a daily, literally moment-to-moment basis. She was given multiple diagnoses, until finally the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia was made in mid 1999. She visited us in July of 1999 and we shared the Fibro regimen of  (transfer factors, Fibro Day and Night, and EFA's) with her. She tried it for a month, with "astounding" results within the first four weeks of supplementation. Now a full 6 months into supplementation, she rarely requires any pain medication (an occasional Advil or aspirin) and now lives a full life with little, if any discomfort.  Most importantly, her spirit has returned to the Rita we once knew. And all we did was share what we have learned from 4LR! Sharing is a powerful thing! This is our second success story with people with Fibromyalgia, the first being a 63-year-old grandmother of 5, who now "can hug her grandchildren the way a grandmother should be able to." She too has a "full life" with an estimated 80% reduction in pain and nearly full function, with much improved sleeping at night. 

Duane Townsend M.D. - "I have seen transfer factors knock out colds, sore throats, etc., but it also has helped Fibromyalgia, neurological problems, chronic yeast infections.  All of our cancer patients are using transfer factors." 

"I was actually confined to a wheel-chair.  The pain was so excruciating that I feared I'd never walk normally again.  I thought that after struggling with Fibromyalgia for years, it had finally won.  Then I was introduced to the Fibromyalgia Recovery Program.  I now lead a totally normal life and am determined to tell everyone I can reach that, despite what I'd been told, "You don't have to learn to live with it."  - Linda Baker

"I've had chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia since August 1991. I've also had shingles five times in that period. This winter I had shingles very bad from the end of September until the end of February and still have them somewhat. I'm able to get up and get dressed at this time. I started on Transfer Factor and the FibroAMJ system about six weeks ago, and I am now sleeping through the night with no sluggishness the next day. I have energy, and every morning I am able to get up at 7:30. My husband will verify that it has been many years since I've done that. I've been packing to move for 12 days straight and I have energy every single day. I was not able to cook a meal and do the dishes in the same evening; I would cook a meal and do the dishes the next day, or possibly even the next, because I could not stand on my feet. So I'm extremely excited about transfer factors and I want to tell everybody that has fibromyalgia to please take this and get yourself well. " B.F.  Oregon

Profound Life-Giving Properties of Marine Phytoplankton

Dr. Jerry Tennant, MD,  from the Tennant Institute of Integrative Medicine, explains that the micronutrients and electrolytes in marine phytoplankton (microscopic plants/organism that live in the ocean) are exactly what human cell membranes need to carry out their metabolism. Not surprisingly, the composition of human plasma, or fluid surrounding cell membranes, is similar to that of sea water. Relying solely on land-based food sources may lead to deficiencies in these micronutrients and electrolytes. While transient sub-optimal nutrition may be forgiven, a constant diet lacking in these micronutrients will adversely affect every function, structure, and detoxification functions of the human cell. Good nutrition will enhance the structure and function of all organs in our bodies. Our brains, muscles, hearts, arteries, joints, bones, skin, hair, hormones, immune system, vision, digestion, kidneys, liver will carry out their jobs much better. Metabolically, our lipids, and sugars can be optimized, thus providing more overall energy, minimize weight problems, and improve sleep. These nutrients improve mental function, and memory. They reduce depression, harmful effects of stress, and mood swings. 

"I had back surgery in 1979 and 1982. I spent a year in bed trying to get rid of the inflammation, which didn't work so I have spent the last 25 years on painkillers and anti inflammatories. I also have high blood pressure, GERD, Fibromyalgia, Pan Sinusitis (operated on in 2005) and heel spurs, and of course a weight problem. I am a walking talking piece of art. I started taking Marine Phytoplankton two weeks before Easter. I started with a bang! 1 oz. in the morning and 1 oz. at night, with the idea that if it works - great! (I really didn't expect that it would). I would give it a valiant effort and take one case. If there were no changes, then I wasn't buying anymore. This Easter I had 16 people over for dinner. We left on that Wed. for Fairmont for 4 days and on the next Friday I drove to Red Deer for a three-day convention. I usually do the family gatherings here at home as I am always on painkillers and anti inflammatories. Surprise, I didn't need any and my leg didn't burn! While I was in Fairmont we sat around and ate and ate, and then went to the convention and sat for hours and hours and ate way too much the rest of the time. Normally I don' t sit well, I'm usually the one in the back pacing back and forth, but not this time. After all this eating for two weeks, I thought if I only put on 5-7 pounds that I would be laughing. I actually lost weight! That is unbelievable for me!  have lost weight every single week since I started taking Marine Phytoplankton (now affectionately know as Mom's "joy juice"). I have more energy, the Fibromyalgia is almost non-existent, and my blood pressure pills and my Losec for the GERD have been cut in half. My feet don't bother me, and my specialist who did my surgery for the pan sinusitis said to keep taking my steroids or I will be back in for another surgery, guaranteed - but it all looks great! Little does he know that I haven't taken the steroids at all. My family doctor wants me to take the Marine Phytoplankton at the 2 oz. per day for three months and then see her. She had noticed that I had lost weight, moved better, and looked better (lack of pain will do that for you). She is very interested in Marine Phytoplankton. My only pain now is sore cheeks from smiling, and I am constantly saying I can't believe that I don't have any pain - it's awesome!"  D. K.

Hugo Rodier M.D. - "There are very few products that provide all, or even most, of the raw materials to make new cells and sustain the existing ones. The problem is that we need ALL of them at the same time for things to work. One of those rare products that contains almost everything you need for life (and the rebuilding of a healthy life) is marine phytoplankton. It contains the nine amino acids that the body cannot make...The essential fatty acids are also present (Omega 3 and Omega 6). Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D and major and trace minerals are all present in phtyoplankton.Marine phytoplankton can reduce depression, harmful effects of stress, and mood swings. more

Dr. Robert Rowe Ph.D - "My 81 year old mother had been telling me how much energy she had been having since taking the phytoplankton. However she had misunderstood the amount she should be taking – she was consuming mere drops, rather than the proper ounces. Having been a student of homeopathy, it suddenly dawned on me there must be a major energy component activated, even though her dosage was so small. The work of Fritz Popp came to mind: Dr. Popp, a world renowned physicist, found that living things emit small packets of light called photons. We can see the phosphorescence produced in the ocean when the water is stirred at night; we are able to see the sparkling photon light produced. Dr. Popp was able to show that the effects of a compound could be duplicated just by bombarding water with the electromagnetic frequency of the compound, which is how homeopathy works. Other amazing testimonials: Healing with Marine PhytoPlankton

Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Containing a wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body. Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens increase energy and stamina by improving our ability to consume and use oxygen. Adaptogens also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and circulation. learn more

Neurotoxin: MSG and How it is Hidden in our Food and Vaccines

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) has been used for many years as a flavor enhancer for a variety of foods prepared at home, in restaurants, and by food processors. FDA has studied adverse reaction reports and other data concerning MSG's safety for many years. Ingestion of monosodium glutamate (MSG) is known to produce a variety of adverse reactions. These reactions, although seemingly dissimilar, are no more diverse than the reactions found as side effects of certain neurological drugs. Jerry Smith, a clinical pharmacist from the University of Florida found our web site and contacted us for more information. He has written a case report on four fibromyalgia patients whose symptoms markedly improved after decreasing the MSG in their diets. With the help of their physicians, he will submit the report to the JAMA for publication. We can only hope that more doctors will become alerted to the real dangers of MSG, aspartame, and other excitotoxins as a result. More scientific studies and cold hard facts will eventually make a difference in this uphill battle. more


Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the Yeast Connection
By William G. Crook, M.D.

Because of my interest in CFS, about a year ago I began working on a new illustrated book titled Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the Yeast Connection -- a "get well" guide for people with this often misunderstood disorder -- and those who care for them. (Publication date: July 24, 1992.)

This book will discuss the many factors which play a part in causing the illness known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. These include viral infections, food sensitivities, chemical pollutants, nutritional deficiencies, parasites and psychological stress.

In some individuals with CFS, the illness develops suddenly following an acute epidemic viral infection similar to the one that occurred in Incline Village, Nevada in 1984 or the Los Angeles Hospital in 1930. Yet the observations of Carol Jessop, a leading CFS clinician and researcher, show that this disorder often develops insidiously -- especially in individuals who give a history of:

    * Repeated courses of antibiotic drugs in childhood, adolescence or adult years
    * Recurrent vaginal yeast infections
    * Diets loaded with sugar and alcohol  more
 


Magnesium Deficiency's Role in Fibroyalgia/Chronic Fatigue

Results of a preliminary study including 24 people with fibromyalgia suggest that a proprietary tablet containing both malic acid and magnesium may improve pain and tenderness associated with this health condition when taken for at least 2 months. Others suggest that the combination of calcium and magnesium may be helpful for some people with fibromyalgia.  Magnesium chloride is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of diseases as well as in its ability to rejuvenate the aging body. We know that it is essential for many enzyme reactions, especially in regard to cellular energy production, for the health of the brain and nervous system and also for healthy teeth and bones. 

Some early signs of magnesium deficiency are loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness. Increased deficiency may show as numbness, tingling, muscle contractions and cramps, seizures, personality changes, abnormal heart rhythms, and coronary spasms. Severe deficiency results in low levels of calcium in the blood (hypocalcemia), and is also associated with low levels of potassium in the blood (hypokalemia). more

"I personally started taking magnesium for spasms and facial tics, only doing so on my own after neurologists simply told me to either get better sleep or take a prescription drug.  The magnesium helped almost immediately, and I then slowly increased the dose to about 225% the RDA (balanced with 100% calcium RDA) At that point, all spasms and tics stopped completely, and they have not returned since starting that dose several years ago.  I doubt any traditional doctor would have been willing to prescribe that much magnesium. The RDA is 400mg, but many people believe this is too low.  Traditionally, it's been recommended to take calcium and magnesium in a ratio of 2/1, because that is the ratio that these minerals are found in bone." (more on healthy bone program)  ---- The Role of Magnesium in Fibromyalgia

Most popular products...

Magnesium deficiency is very common in the general US population.  Not only is our daily intake low, but we eat a diet which increases the demand for magnesium.  And unfortunately, urinary magnesium loss can be increased by many factors, both physical and emotional.  Magnesium loss increases in the presence of certain hormones.  Stress can greatly increase magnesium loss. Even loud noises can extra magnesium loss.  One article on the web goes so far as to say that that almost everyone is the United States is at least marginally deficient in magnesium.  So there is an excellent chance that a person with fibromyalgia has a magnesium deficiency.  But since people with fibromyalgia often have high levels of stress, and a disrupted hormonal system, they are more likely to be candidates for magnesium deficiency.  Magnesium utilization is also increased by the presence of estrogen, and this might explain why many women are diagnosed with fibromyalgia after menopause, when estrogen levels would decrease.  Additionally, the sleep disruption which occurs in fibromyalgia might also affect magnesium utilization, as sleep deprivation has been shown to cause lower magnesium levels.

Magnesium is extremely important to many functions in the body, which is why a deficiency can cause many different symptoms.  It is most widely known for being needed for proper bone formation.  With a deficiency, bones will be soft, and it can play a role in osteoporosis   However, magnesium is also the activating mineral for at least 350 different enzymes in the body, more than any other mineral, so it is crucial for many of the metabolic functions in the body.  Magnesium is necessary for almost all the enzymes that allow the glycolytic and Krebs cycles to turn the sugar and fat we eat into ATP.  Low levels of ATP have commonly been found in people with fibromyalgia, and it is believed that this plays an important role in many of the fibromyalgia symptoms.  Thus, a magnesium deficiency would definitely be a factor in worsening those symptoms. 

Migraine headaches, mitral valve prolapse, and Raynaud's phenomenon, all problems commonly found in people with fibromyalgia, are also problems that have been associated with a magnesium deficiency.  Without enough magnesium, nerves fire too easily from even minor stimuli.  Noises will sound excessively loud, lights will seem too bright, emotional reactions will be exaggerated, and the brain will be too stimulated to sleep, all symptoms commonly found in fibromyalgia.  And if the oversensitivity to light and noise reminds you of someone suffering from a hangover, they are one and the same problem, as alcohol is known for decreasing magnesium levels, and magnesium supplementation has been found to relieve hangover symptoms. 

Another commonly found condition in fibromyalgia which has nervous related symptoms is reactive hypoglycemia.  Anxiety related symptoms occur after carbohydrate intake, and this is believed to be due to either an  excess release of adrenaline, or a higher sensitivity to adrenaline.   In either case, a deficiency of magnesium could be a factor, as "magnesium has been found to slow the release of both adrenaline and noradrenaline, and to partially block adrenergic receptors.

Magnesium (various types and forms)

Magnesium is a natural tranquilizer 
Called the "anti-stress mineral," it aids in relaxing nerves, relieving tension, assisting digestion, activating enzymes important for protein and carbohydrate metabolism, and modulating the electrical potential across all cell membranes. Magnesium is important in the production and transfer of energy, muscle contraction and relaxation, and nerve conduction. It also aids regularity, is necessary to keep vertebrae in their proper position, induces restful sleep, purifies and purges body tissues (combats acids, toxins, gases, impurities, and neutralizes poisons), and lowers fever. Magnesium is stored in the bowel, nerves and ligaments. Chlorophyll and green vegetables contain large amounts of magnesium. more

OVERCOMING CHRONIC FATIGUE

Does just getting out of bed in the morning seem to be a major effort?  How about doing a simple job of vacuuming the living room floor?  How about serious things like having to keep a job which required concentration, focus, intellect and creativity—operations which in my mind were simply not functioning. I didn’t know it then, but I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. 

This multitude of symptoms which I was experiencing included the inability to use my cognitive processes.  The sheer and utter exhaustion I felt every day made me think I was dying or wishing I was.  I was really overwhelmed with severe problems such as memory loss, confusion, brain fog, digestive difficulties, PMS, and even insomnia.  learn how Pam recovered her full energy naturally.


Identify and Treat the Causes of Disease

Illness does not occur without cause. Causes may originate in many areas. Underlying causes of illness and disease must be identified and removed before complete recovery can occur. Symptoms can be expressions of the body's attempt to defend itself, to adapt and recover, to heal itself, or may be results of the causes of disease. 

CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME: THE HIDDEN POLIO EPIDEMIC by Dr. William Campbell Douglas
Dr. Richard Bruno, New Jersey Medical School, Department of Physical Medicine, pointed out, in the New York Academy report, that of more than a dozen outbreaks of CFS before the introduction of the Salk vaccine, nine occurred during or immediately after polio outbreaks and several of the victims of CFS had been taking care of polio patients. As the polio vaccination program opened the door for these opportunistic relatives of polio, the CFS epidemic gathered steam and the new polio was upon us. One of the forerunners in this research is Dr. Elizabeth Dowsett, a microbiologist from Britain. Dr. Dowsett states unequivocally what you don't hear in this country: True CFS (as differentiated from other fatigue states) "strikes one clinically as being polio-like and it has often been diagnosed as 'nonparalytic polio.'

Sugar Free Products Alert!

Epidemic of fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus related to aspartame
(Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names, NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure.)

According to researchers and physicians studying the adverse effects of aspartame, the following chronic illnesses can be triggered or worsened by ingesting of aspartame: Brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, parkinson's disease, alzheimer's, mental retardation, lymphoma, birth defects, fibromyalgia, and diabetes. 

"I have observed severe intellectual deterioration associated with the use of aspartame products (NutraSweet/Equal/Spoonful/Canderal/Benevia, etc.)  It was usually manifest as great difficulty in reading and writing, obvious problems with memory and grossly impaired orientation to time, place and  person." H. J. Roberts, M.D. 

"Aspartame has a profound effect on mood and cognition....depressed mood, anxiety, dizziness, panic attacks, nausea, irritability, impairment of memory and concentration." Ralph Walton, M.D

Relationship to Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/M.E. and  the Possible Role of Vaccines
by Prof. Garth L. Nicolson 

Complex Role of Toxic Exposures in Chronic Illnesses Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encepthalomyelitis (CFS/ME) and Gulf War Illnesses (GWI) are characterized by similar chronic signs and symptoms.  This is why we proposed that GWI is a CFS/ME illness. Other chronic illnesses, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Inflammatory Bowel Disease, among others, also show many of these same signs and symptoms, suggesting that there may be some overlap in the underlying causes of these conditions or at least in the factors that may result in sickness (morbidity) or illness progression. The treatments of chronic illnesses that are due to toxic exposures from chemical or radiological agents are quite different from the treatment of chronic infections [2]. The treatment of chemically exposed patients usually involves removal of offending chemicals from the patient's environment, depletion of chemicals from the patient's system and treatment of the signs and symptoms caused by chemical exposure(s). Chemically exposed patients are often extremely sensitive to a variety of commonly encountered chemicals, including perfumes and air fresheners, petrochemical fumes, chlorine, cleaning solutions and solvents, among others.  They are also very sensitive to certain foods, and special diets are often necessary, and in some cases direct skin contact with certain substances can cause strong cutaneous reactions.  Therefore, an important part of treatment for chemical exposures requires limiting exposures to a variety of common chemicals and gradual removal of the toxic chemical. 


Autoimmune or Viral Disease? Consider Vaccine Contamination
by Dr. Joseph Mercola 

"...Dr. John Martin, currently at the University of Southern California School of Medicine, detected a herpesvirus-related DNA sequence in several people suffering from Chronic Fatigue syndrome. Martin points the finger at contaminated vaccine lots found in early years of the Polio vaccination programs and suggest that animal viruses may have been inadvertently introduced into humans. “If a vaccine program were to be initiated today,” says Dr. Martin  “One surely would not import wild monkeys from Africa, create short term primary kidney cultures, add a human virus and administer the crude batch derived from virally infected cells to virtually every child in the country.” Monkey kidney cells are used for Polio and Adeno vaccines, while dog and duck kidney cells have been used for rubella vaccines and chicken cells used for measles and mumps vaccines. Martin and Tommisc both suspect these animals viruses, possibly now co-mingled with human herpes-virus, to be the cause of many of the diseases they are seeing today..." more

VACCINATIONS - DECEPTION and TRAGEDY  Why are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually, as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness. 

Vaccines Cancer and Leukemia: is  there a link?
Among children, antibiotics and Vaccines cause more adverse reactions than any other prescribed medicines, according to a Canadian study presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy and Asthma in 1998. Sandra K. Knowles and her colleagues at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto reviewed Canadian data on more than 1,500 cases of drug reactions between 1985 and 1995. The antibiotics amoxicillan and ampicillin accounted for 24 per cent of total adverse reactions, with vaccines coming in second at 19 per cent. Shots in the dark

 "... Dr. Mohammed A. Al-Bayati's conclusions were that my diagnosed illness, Pulmonary Fibrosis had been produced by my exposure to JP-4 and JP-8 aviation fuels plus other toxic chemicals in the workplace. Kerosene, one of the key ingredients of jet fuel also created lesions in my airways, lungs, and other tissues, as well as instituting memory loss. Dr. Al-Bayati, discovered that the steroid treatments, Prednisone and Azathioprine had completely destroyed my immune system and were the culprits that were not allowing my bodily systems to repair themselves. In essence my HMO gave me the appearance of medication induced "Aids." Larry J. Boyd, Suisun City, California 


The Immune System 

Immunity: The body's defense department
Most modern maladies are caused by prolonged exposure to a combination of negative lifestyles and toxic environmental factors, including junk food and malnutrition, pesticides, antibiotics, microwaves, chemical pollution of food, water and air, lack of exercise and chronic stress. (more info)

These factors are further aggravated by the failure of modern medicine to recognize them as agents of dis-"ease" and death and the consequent failure to take preventative measures against them. By rebuilding immunity, health is naturally restored and disease disappears. If health and immunity are thereafter conscientiously maintained, the individual is no longer vulnerable to disease. 

The sort of health care required to restore immunity and prevent disease begins at home, not in the clinic, by eliminating factors which impair immunity and cultivating habits which boost it. Though it requires individual effort, self-discipline and personal responsibility, preventative health care is always a good investment, in time as well as money, because once you fall ill, it takes a lot more time and costs a lot more money to acquire vibrant health again. Furthermore, every time you lose your health, the road to recovery gets longer and rougher, demanding a growing investment for diminishing returns. By investing in your immunity now, you insure your future health and guard your life at minimum cost. more

Nutritional Influence On Health

Malnutrition is the basis of all disease: "Man's body is a living organism, made of living cells, which require living food in order to be properly nourished and function well. When we put cooked food into our body, loaded with contaminants, the body starts to break down. It begins in the very young with colic, rashes, colds, earaches, upset stomachs, swollen glands and tonsils. As the child grows older, their may be tooth decay, pimples, the need for eye glasses, etc. Then as we enter adult life there is arthritis, hypoglycemia, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and cancers. All this and a multitude of other diseases are unnecessary and are nothing but the result of improper diet and lifestyle!  Today, most people accept cooked food as the normal means of supplying the body with nutrients, not realizing that the living cells of our bodies do not take nourishment from the dead and artificial ingredients found in cooked food. And so, after a typical meal of cooked meat, cooked potatoes, a cooked vegetable and a piece of cooked bread, followed by a cooked sugar desert, their stomach is full and they think they have satisfied the nutritional needs of their body. In reality, they have given their body practically no nourishment. And thus with a full stomach, they are slowly starving their body's cells." Learn about The Incredible Healing Powers of Raw (Living) Foods and Juices

Most human illnesses and diseases are due to a deficiency of vital nutrients. When you supply your body with the proper nutrients, in a form that your body can use, it knows how to repair itself. "The body has the inherent ability -the vitality -not only to heal itself and restore health, but also to ward off disease. Illness is not caused simply by an invasion of external agents or germs, but is a manifestation of the organism's attempt to defend and heal itself. Prevention Is the Best Cure. Health is a reflection of how we choose to live." TC Fry

Nutritional Influences on Illness
 


Fibromyalgia and Raw Food Research Study

Donaldson and his staff  conducted an intervention study looking at how the raw foods diet affected people with fibromyalgia, a nerve and muscle pain disorder. Over a course of six weeks, 30 people were put on a program that included two to three glasses of carrot juice, barley greens, raw fruits and vegetables, flaxseed oil, and some cooked food at dinner (mostly whole grains). At the end of the trial, two thirds showed remarkable improvement: two participants overcame their severe depression; one woman went back to work after being out on disability. "Generally the raw food diet works because it is a synergy," says Donaldson. "Vitamins, enzymes, a healthy bowel, balanced emotions, positive outlook -- all of these components come together in a living way. People overcome arthritis, allergies, cancer, you name it. I am still amazed by the testimonials that come back to us from people who have adopted a raw foods diet." Rose Lee Calabro knows what Donaldson is talking about. Before turning raw she was an HMO nightmare: she suffered from high cholesterol, high blood pressure, allergies, candida, chronic fatigue, joint pain, depression, mood swings, gallstones, hair loss, hearing loss, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, difficulty concentrating, chronic sinusitis, insomnia, gout, and early signs of cancer in breasts and lungs. Although her transition to a raw foods diet was gradual (first a vegetarian, then a cooked food vegan), she truly began to notice changes after going raw.

Testimonials of healing fibromyalgia with raw food

    Shelly - "My nightmare began at the end of 1996. At 25 I was what society would consider healthy. I ate what I thought was a well balanced diet and I was fit and very active. I felt good, had a great boyfriend, now husband, and life was good.. How drastically everything would change. I started to fall ill. Terribly ill. It began with a migraine that came one day and never left. Accompanying the migraine was a pain at the base of my skull and severe muscle tightness, and pain. My muscles in my neck and shoulders became as hard as rocks and nothing would relax them. Over the next six years I would bounce from various types of doctors and specialists in the allopathic medical community (conventional medicine). No doctor could help me and my list of symptoms kept getting longer. Added to the debilitating migraines and muscle tightness, fatigue and pain was.. 50lb weight gain, extreme excitability/nervousness, panic attacks, shortness of breath, great loss of libido, painful intercourse, fibrocystic breasts, irregular heart beat, chronic sinus infections and yeast infections, lowered immune system and more. My body was falling apart. I felt like a 20-something trapped in the body of an 80 year old.. But not a healthy 80 year old, a dying 80 year old." Learn about Shelly's amazing recovery

    Lena - "My name is Lena Buhr and I've just turned raw...I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and a possible melanoma a while ago, and since so many familymembersof mine, keep dying and get sick in cancers, arthritis and thyreone, I decided to do what many people don't think is possible; I became 100% raw. No coffee or tea, or any cooked food whatsoever, no white bread or sprayed vegetables, nothing!! I only eat raw vegetables, berries, nuts, sprouted seeds and a lots of fruit everyday. I didn't believe in this at first and it scared me a little bit but I thought I had nothing to lose. Today, I am almost free of my symptoms and becides I feel so much better! I only wish You would tell Mr. Fox about this... It would help him a great! So many people around the world who is know free and cured from even severe cancer, with only months left to live...Please do some research on how food effects us, especially the kind of diet You eat in America--the Standard American Diet--SAD! It would save so many from fear and agony about diseases and pain! Yours Sincerely Lena Buhr."

Green juice and Herbal Tonics Are My Lifeline
Most people who have explored the wondrously wide avenues of self-healing have heard about wheatgrass. Wheatgrass juice has been proven over many years to benefit people in numerous ways: cleansing the lymph system, building the blood, restoring balance in the body, removing toxic metals from the cells, nourishing the liver and kidneys and restoring vitality. One ounce of wheatgrass juice has the vitamin and mineral equivalent of 2.2 pounds of fresh vegetables. It contains most of the vitamins and minerals needed for human maintenance, including the elusive B12. Many of the benefits of wheatgrass juice stem from the fact that it is a living food, which is a complete protein with about 30 enzymes and is approximately 70% crude chlorophyll. 

To detoxify my blood and to maintain my excellent health and vitality I drink daily 6 to 8 ounces of freshly pressed mixture of wheatgrass, parsley, cilantro, bitter-melon-vine/leaf,dandelion, and other green leafy veggies. I mix in one tablespoon of bee pollen. one ounce of  fulvic minerals ,  one ounce of marine phytoplankton, 2 ounces of Goji juice (rich in glyconutrients).  I also drink Dr. Miller's Detox Tea.   I grow my own wheatgrass in flats by my windows (view instructions). Wheatgrass played a major role in my health recovery of severe lifelong illnesses. I use the Handcrank juicer (rust proof stainless steel) specifically designed to get the maximum juice from leafy plants or grass. (most other juicers shred the grass or leaf causing a huge mess and no juice.) Shirley detailed step by step what I do everyday to detoxify my blood and to maintain optimum health and vitality

Water therapy has been used for centuries to heal the sick.  Hydro- and hydrothermal therapy are traditional methods of treatment that have been used for the treatment of disease and injury by many cultures, including those of ancient Rome, China, and Japan. Water therapy has been around for centuries. The ancient Greeks took therapeutic baths. Water is an important ingredient in the traditional Chinese and Native American healing systems. more

F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. - "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water. Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research that I mentioned earlier."  more

Why elimination of the symptom is NOT the same as elimination of the disease
Physicians and surgeons palliate symptoms instead of removing causes. 

"Modern medicine feels, in most cases, that the elimination of the symptom is the same as elimination of the disease. In allopathic medicine a symptom is usually thought of as the patient's real disease and the goal is to hold back, decrease or eliminate this symptom. This is often done without addressing the underlying cause. If your tooth hurts and we inject a local anesthetic, the pain goes away but that does not mean the problem is gone! If we use medications to suppress these symptoms then the vital force tries to create new symptoms to compensate for the imbalance that is still there. If the vital force is strong then the original symptom may return. Otherwise, it may be unable to express on the same level and create a symptom that is more interior and could be much worse per Herring's Law. One example is a skin rash that is treated with cortisone. The rash and itching will probably go away quickly. Later the patient begins to exhibit liver problems that "were caused by the cortisone". The liver symptoms are actually an expression of this suppressed imbalance on a deeper more interior level. Many things can be suppressive. Vaccines and allopathic medications are a major source of suppression where homeopathy is concerned, but herbs, acupuncture and incorrect homeopathic remedies can also be suppressive." Dr. Bernstein DVM

When there is enough wrong with people to produce discomfort of mind or body, they seek relief instead of seeking for and removing cause...Physicians and surgeons palliate symptoms instead of removing causes. "Whenever possible, suppression of symptoms is avoided, as this may interfere with the healing process. Tolle Causam (Identify and Treat the Cause). Illness does not occur without cause and symptoms (nausea, rash, headache) are not the cause. Symptoms are signals that the body is out of balance. They are an expression of the body's attempt to heal itself. Causes originate on many levels, but are more often found in the patient's lifestyle, diet, habits, or emotional state. When only the symptoms are treated, the underlying causes remain and the patient may develop a more serious, chronic condition. Prevention Is the Best Cure. Health is a reflection of how we choose to live." Dr. Peter A. Martin, N.D.

Why "Cures" Sometimes Fail by Dr. Leo Roy, M.D., N.D. 
There are obstacles, barriers and impediments to healing. Failing to consider obstacles to healing is possibly the most under-considered and neglected aspect to getting well. Not considering these obstacles sets us up to have potential cures fail, even those that are the most perfect and effective treatments, those that are most perfectly programmed to all our healing needs. Healing isn't always simple, easy, painless or automatic. Problems arise from many factors of which you are likely not aware. Learn about The Nature and Types of Obstacles to Healing.



You may feel worse before you begin to feel better...

Ginger Chalford, Ph.D - "The body has an inherent desire for perfect health. We have the ability to earn our way back to that state, no matter how "normal" or bad our health is now. But in the meantime, the body must go through an elimination process to achieve good health. The elimination process is often referred to as the "healing crisis." Once the healing crisis starts, reactions may be mild or severe. Expect ups and downs as it takes awhile to get good health back. In a healing crisis, every body system works together to eliminate waste products and set the stage for regeneration. Old tissues are replaced with new."

The Road To Better Health may begin with a Healing Crisis
As you move toward better health with natural healing programs and better nutrition, healing begins to occur. As part of the healing process the body will begin to discard toxic residues which have built up in your body over the years. The healing process usually does not occur without repercussions. During the initial phase of healing, as your body begins to clean house, (detoxify) and your vital energy begins to repair and rebuild internal organs, you may experience headache, uneasiness, flu like symptoms and fatigue. It is important that you adequately rest during this time. These symptoms will pass as your body begins to normalize to a new level of health. As you continue to improve, you may begin a process called retracing. You may feel worse before you feel better. For example, if you used to get skin rashes, the rashes may reappear or get worse for a period of time as your body eliminates toxins through the skin. You may also experience an initial increase in urination, or you may feel more nervous. In actuality, you are not getting worse, you are actually getting better. Eventually you will reach a plateau of better health. During the healing crisis, it is important to not suppress these temporary symptoms with drugs or the healing process may become interrupted.

Alternative Medicine Guide To Chronic Fatigue Fibromyalgia And Environmental Illness This Book explains how chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and environmental illness can be permanently reversed using nontoxic alternative medicine treatments. Here, 26 leading physicians explain the techniques and natural substances that have brought complete recovery to their patients. 

"My boss bought this book for me, and I thought it was going to be just another, "yeah, you have fibromyalgia and it's a real shame, this is how you cope with it", but instead, this book CHANGED MY LIFE! (Sorry for the run-on sentence). I had so much pain that some days I couldn't get out of bed. I would find a position that was minimally pain free and not move until I was better. It got so bad that I had to use a cane so I could get to work. But I read the book and I couldn't believe the case histories. But when the pain got so bad that I thought I would lose my job, I changed my diet (hey, what did I have to lose? ) and low and behold, within a week the pain was gone (I stopped taking pain medicine everyday), the "fog" lifted and I felt better than I had in YEARS! Another side benefit, is that I have lost weight! But I recommend this book very highly. I will also say that my doctors have pooh-poohed these results, but I firmly believe that what we eat, really effects how we feel. I just never knew how much!" Sheila Allen New York, New York

Miracle OF MSM

"In a double-blind study of MSMs impact ondegenerative arthritis, he found that patients who ingested 2,250mg of MSM a day for six weeks felt an improvement in their pain reduction by 82%, on average.

 Ronald M. Lawrence MD - "I've been practicing medicine for 50 years, and in all those years I've never seen a substance like this" Lawrence says in The Journal of Anti-Aging Medicine a peer-reviewed scientific journal, published Lawrence's preliminary study results last July. Arthritic cartilage has only one-third the level of sulfur concentration of normal cartilage - perhaps that is why MSM has been so effective in treating arthritis. But researchers don't know for sure if MSM is beneficial for arthritis because of its sulfur content or because of its antiinflammatory and analgesic properties. Unlike aspirin, which offers immediate pain relief "MSM takes three to four weeks before you have noticable changes Lawrence says, "except in rheumatioid patients - they have felt differences in just one day, and certainly bythree or four days." According to Jacob, Lawrence and Zucker's forthcoming book, MSM can be a natural remedy for: osteoarthritis,rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, tendonitis and bursitis, muscular soreness and athletic injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, post - traumatic inflammation and pain, heartburn and hyperacidity, headaches and back pain, allergies."

MSM, a natural form of organic sulphur found in all living organisms, is present in body fluids and tissues. It is part of the amino acid chain. Without the presence of the proper amount of MSM in the body, the amino acids will continue to build the glands but fail to produce the correct enzymes, so animals and people are then prone to unnecessary illnesses. MSM is an important dietary supplement for people and animals. 

MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane) is a pure, organic, non-toxic, non-metallic element that occurs widely in nature. MSM has been shown to be completely non-toxic in study after study, even in high dosages. Storehouses of MSM, in mammals, decreases with age, which may be caused by changing diet or body metabolism. This should not be allowed to occur. Your body uses MSM to continually create new healthy cells to replace old ones. If your body is not receiving the proper nutrition including MSM, the body may produce weak dysfunctional cells. 

MSM detoxifies the body and increases blood circulation. It is also a free radical scavenger, prevents overreaction to other medicines, controls acidity, coats the intestinal tract so parasites lose the ability to hang on, helps to utilize vitamins and minerals, thereby providing the means to derive the maximum benefit from what we and our animals eat. learn more

Toxemia and Internal Cleansing (Fasting)
"Autogenous self-generated poisoning is what we call Toxaemia."

Natural Hygiene holds that the one cause of all disease is the toxic saturation at the cellular level of the bodily tissues, bloodstream, and fluids brought on by the depletion of Nerve Energy reserves through wrong living habits. This state of self-poisioning is alternately termed "Auto-Intoxication," "Toxicosis," and "Toxemia." There is really only one disease of the body. It is called Toxemia. Many doctors of natural hygiene have proven this in their work, but common knowledge of the way the body works, along with common sense, will also support this statement. In his book "Toxemia Explained" Dr. John Tilden explains the definition of Toxemia as natures effort to eliminate toxins from the blood. 

Evart Loomis M.D. -"Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body. Within 24 hours of curtailing food intake, enzymes stop entering the stomach and travel instead into the intestines and into the bloodstream, where they circulate and gobble up all sorts of waste matter, including dead and damaged cells, unwelcome microbes, metabolic wastes, and pollutants. All organs and glands get a much-needed and well-deserved rest, during which their tissues are purified and rejuvenated and their functions balanced and regulated. The entire alimentary canal is swept clean.  By rebuilding immunity, health is naturally restored and disease disappears. If health and immunity are thereafter conscientiously maintained, the individual is no longer vulnerable to disease and dieting become unnecessary. Surely one of the most overlooked and yet most valuable modes of healing that will be rediscovered in the future of the new medicine is the fast. This is because of the increasing interest in looking to oneself for healing powers. For the fast is an inward process and cannot be entered upon only from an outer approach with any expectation of a lasting benefit. The person must invariably be involved with the overall results. This therapeutic encounter is in direct contrast to the usual non-involvement in the physician-directed, disease-oriented medical practice of today." more
