Re: Nicola: What causes Fibro, and what can we do about it?

June 28, 2011

Hi - I drop in here from time to time, and want to mention that my fibromyalgia

of 25 years turned out to be a bacterial infection called Lyme disease that I

acquired from a known tick bite. The bacteria get into the brain within 12 hours

of exposure and inflame the brain and spinal cord. They can also corkscrew into

tissues and inflame us anywhere that way too - it's a very comprehensive

illness, causing systemwide symptoms.

Ticks are so small, so many people never see the tick that infected them. Also

bugs can carry the spirochetal bacteria, and also we can pass it through tissues

and fluids, including congenitally. It can be a very hidden illness. There isn't

even a gold standard test for it; the link www.canlyme.com/seronegreasons.html

lists 27 reasons why people may not test positive for it even though they have

it. That's why Lyme-treating doctors treat clinically, by history and symptoms.

I did test positive, through the IGeneX lab, went on antibiotics (150mg

clindamycin every 6 hours for the first month, then 1-2x/day after that) and all

the fibro pain of 25 years went to zero in a week's time! I also successfully

take anti-inflammatory supplements like mangosteen juice, noni juice and

grapeseed extract capsules.

My latest success is doing far infrared sauna detoxing - that is helping to

lower my chemical sensitivity to materials and smells.

I like to speak up about my experience, because if this is what's going on for

others, we can find antibiotics, herbs, supplements, oxygen treatments, etc that

kill/deter the illness, detox and fortify. We're all different and respond

differently to treatments. The trick is to find the ones that are right for us.

In general, I like what Joanne and others discuss here about fortification. It's

the kind of things Lyme patients are doing. More info can be found at

www.lymedisease.org, www.lymenet.org, the film " Under Our Skin " (now available

through Netflix - many Lyme patients say they presented first with the

fibromyalgia syndrome), www.treatthebite.org, google for Burrascano 2008

guidelines. Thx - Robin K

Nicola: What causes Fibro, and what can we do about

it?

Nicola

I beleive I have a weakened immune system due to medical procedures in my past,

toxicty in my environment, high levels of stress, and food intollerance. The

following clip provides some insite into how autoimmune illnesses like fibro

develop Dr Hyman also speaks about some of the solutions

In the main i learn about healthy nutrition, safe alternative therapies and how

to reistablish correct functioning of the bodies systems by supporting its

systems through correct nutrion, detox, etc at the following site

www.healingcandidabybee.com

When I get more time I will post links to a few other sites I use

If any of this feels overwhelming do not worry. None of us here were able to

sort ourselves out in a few days. Rather it took weeks or months, and although

doing extremely well with Bees program I am to this day still learning

Hope to be online again later

Love Joanne
