I have an autoimmune disease and one of the things that tag along

with it is fibromyalsia. I strive to have a good diet, and have done

colonics in the

past but just purchased a colema board but haven't had a chance to use it.

On the advice of a doctor I use a Far Infrared Dome and it does help with my

Fibro but when I have one of those terrible flares, the thing that helps me

most

is magnesium oratate. Many people just use magnesium citrate but I

just keep using my old stand by.

Just curious -- how many fillings do you have in your

mouth?

Hi ,

What you might have missed is that in addition to the series of liver

flushes and dietary restriction of problem unsaturated oils such as

corn, canola and soy, you also increase antioxidant levels and

especially glutathione which requires precursors such as are

plentiful in cold-processed whey (with selenium). Glutathione is the

main liver and kidney support in cleansing, and it also is used by

all of the cls as a free-radical quencher.

Also, the foremost treatment for fibromyalgia is an increase of

growth hormone. Rather than taking expensive and tricky shots, HGH

secretion can be improved naturally with a specific amino acids blend

that is patented for this purpose. When you look at the various HGH

sounding products you see that Dr. Ron Klatz, the guru of HGH

research, is often referred to; he and 11,000 other doctors in the

American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine find this product to be

reliable enough to adopt out of more than 100 tested in the clinic.

I've seen a few people with FM become pain-free in just days; these

were " good responders " -- others took a few weeks to several months.

Diet improvement is potentially important; it can't hurt and it will

more likely help the performance of any wellness program.

A friend's website contains specific references to fibromyalgia and

other disorders in relationship to HGH therapy. Most of the data

pertains to HGH shots but the site also contains some data for the

amino acids approach.

Hi , I'm sure that the cleans will help - also i just read something about

tart cherries helping relieve pain from fibromyalgia.

Here is where i read it:

None that are mercury. I had all those removed years ago. I have a bunch

now, but they are all the white porcelain.

Yes, they look good too. They sell cherry juice (as does mercola.com I think)

as well as dried cherries.

Hi Duncan,

Thanks a lot for all this detailed info! I wasn't aware of any of this. I

will definitely check it out.

Thanks again!

Have a good weekend...

Hi ,

cracked hands (dry hands I guess) is related to sugar for some people? wow. Is

there anything else that relates to dry hands or feet that you know of (as far

as food goes)? Thanks,

Hi, me again asking a question. What are the effects of candida on our body.

You said that we all have it to some degree; what happens when we have way too

much of it? what are the symptoms of that?

Also, if possible, could you describe what it looks like?

thanks very much,

JJ

> From: C CG <pixiepie2003@...>

> One of the downsides of having mercury fillings

removed is increase in Candida. Unfortunately, one of

the few good things mercury does in the body is keep

the Candida colonies killed off enough not to cause

real problems. However, once mercury is removed,

Candida can proliferate.

Most books on Candida contain a checklist test you can

take, and that will tell you if you have Candida. But

I would say if you crave sugar or carbohydrates or

fermented products, then you probably have Candida. We

all have Candida, it's just a question of how much!

The Candida Cleanse from RenewLife is a good product.

The problem is you feel yucky while the Candida is

dying off.

Pau D'Arco tea is good, olive leaf extract is good.

However, Candida becomes resistant very quickly to

just about anything so you would have to switch off on

these. The best thing you could do would be to starve

the Candida by not eating sugar for at least six

months (I know), then you can slowly incorporate a few

items back into your diet. Garlic is great for worms,

but I don't think it would kill enough Candida to make

a difference.

Taking mega-doses of probiotics would also really help

keep the Candida in check.

Good luck!

Angie,

I too have both RA and fibro. I can't say that there is anything special my

rheumy has told me specifically helps fibro but I find it worse when it is humid

and during change of seasons. We purchased a jacuzzi and that seems to help me

feel better. When the fibro acts up all I want to do is sleep - sometimes I

just have to give in. Problem with having RA and fibro is separating the

two-joints ache from ra and muscles from fibro. I try to get enough rest and

eat right. Sorry I can't be more help but just know you are not alone!

Hi Angie:

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis but you have come to

the right place for understanding and advise.......I

have both and I do find it hard to distinguish which

is giving me the pain..........the are so closely

related........the fatigue never seems to go

away...some days are better than others but it is

always there for me........I think exercise is good

when and if you can do it.......and I do believe the

changing of the weather is harder on me than

others....I hate to get out of the hot shower in the

morning so I too wish i could afford the hot tub......

Anyway please know others know what you are going

thru......Hang in there

I have fibro but don't have a definite diagnosis for the RA yet. I was

diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 12 years ago. Some doctors that I've seen

since that time won't even acknowledge that it exists. It has been very

frustrating. It was sort of weird... I was almost relieved initially when

told I have arthritis because everyone knows that it is real and causes pain

I feel like I'm finally being taken seriously.

Cailin,

There are SO MANY theories about what causes

fibromyalgia, so I really doubt that there is just one

single cause. But, there is no doubt that mercury

fillings (because they leach mercury into the body)

are BAD news, and have been blamed for MANY ailments

besides fibromyalgia.

Dr. Mercola also recommends Chlorella as one of the

best " mercury magents " . Edible seaweeds and Spirulina

also are known to remove heavy metals and toxins from

the body.

More than 1/3 of people with fibromyalgia are low in human growth

hormone release. Quite a lot of the science on it, mainly about HGH

and IGF-1 injections, is posted on

http://members.shaw.ca/patriciagilbert/

All people, especially the elderly, (96%) respond to increasing their

own HGH release with an amino acids blend - the commercial blend used

by many thousand anti-aging doctors in preference to expensive and

tricky HGH shots is SomaLife gHP. It allows healing speed and other

cellular strength and function such as immune response to become more

youthful; in fact the whole body does become more youthful.

This nutritional approach would be a useful adjunct to a stimulating

and healing frequency set for the pituitary and hypothalamus area.

I'm sorry I can't be more specific on the frequencies, as I have not

operated my acquaintance's QXCI yet, but such stimulating and healing

frequency sets are listed on Bruce Stenulson's Rife website.

Hi Jayson,

I think it is great that your Rhuemy works with both diseases, and

that your wife is so involved in Fibro. My Rhuemy believes in Fibro

and works hard to help me control the pain. He is trying to teach me

the differences in pain but sometimes I am still confused. I just

know I hurt. I also see a pain med psych Dr, he handles some of the

pain meds but also makes sure that my emotional health is good. That

plays such a big factor in the disease. The more pain the more likely

depression and frustration are to settle in which only works against

us. I have a very postive attitude and have accepted lifes changes. I

just look for ways to better myself and keep my self worth in

different ways than I use to do. I was also diagnose with moderate

COPD lately and started to really get down then. Thank goodness I

have a supportive family, who helped me through and told me I should

still go for my dreams. Whether I have 2 years or 10 years left I

plan to live them to the best of my ability and not give in to any of

these diseases. I read somewhere that your disease cannot become your

identity. I truly believe this. That is why I love this group because

of the postive attitudes everyone has, despite the pain. I agree that

it doesn't matter whether you are a male or female with this disease,

rather it is a matter of your heart and soul.

Sorry for the long post- I just thought it was so great that there

are places that are finally focusing on Fibro. Good luck to you and

your family. Have a great day

Pat

Hi, Pat. I'm Marina. I, too, am a nurse. Did critical care for a

while and now I work in surgery. If you don't mind, how do you like

being a Legal Nurse Consultant? What kind of education did you have

to go through to do that. I have RA (we think), Sjogren's, and

Fibro. My RA and ANA have always been negative, but my SED rate,

CRP, and a few others are elevated. I don't have the nodules,

either. My rheumy says I am an enigma to him!! Oh well, that's par

for the course. Heck, I can't even get a definate diagnosis as to

why I continue to be a kidney stone factory!! Everything came back

either inconclusive or unknown. Heck, it was recommended that I cut

back on poultry and red meat. That is a funny recommendation

considering I have been a vegetarian for the last 20 years!! So,

it's par for the course for me!! As for the FMS, I work with

doctors who don't think it's a real disorder. Even the guys,

interns and residents, say the same thing. If only they could feel

what we feel!! The fatigue just sucks. I think that is worse than

the pain, though sometimes the pain is a real kick in the butt!!

Well, take care and welcome.

Hi Pat,

I'm Judi, 59 YO and was dx with fibromyalgia a few years ago, but

then found that I have Dercum's Disease, which is quite similar to FM

but add in hundreds of painful lipomas. Believe me, I am very

familiar with the " cement " legs and arms, and I drop things quite

often. Earlier this year I was dx with MS as well, but apparently in

its early stages.

After being insulted and tossed off by a number of doctors, I finally

found a wonderful group at Indiana U. Hospital, and they are working

to try to find something that actually helps. There is currently no

research being done on DD because it is so rare, so we who have it

are doing our own research and acting as our own guinea pigs.

I'm married to Ron who is in his 3rd year of dealing with

Parkinson's, and he is really putting up a good fight. He

understands what it is like to wake in the morning with less energy

than you went to bed with, and we try to support each other.

Unfortunately, once in awhile we both wake up " down " and those are

the hard days. But we do enjoy doing a few things, he plays golf and

we both bowl, and we love playing with our 4 grandkids--a 5-year old

and 2 1/2 year old triplets.

I applaud you for your activity and positive attitude!

Hi Marina,

I don't have your email address, so am just sending you a reply. Being a nurse

with fibromyalgia [and most probably post-polio syndrome, according to my

rheumy], it is difficult not feeling that all my years of nursing took its toll

on my body. My most recent downturn was in 2000 when I contacted mono and

developed a 'post-viral syndrome'. Prior to that I had fibro, but had worked

full time with it for ten years. I have done a LOT of research on all of this,

as that's what nurses do...lol. Numerous times I have asked my rheumy if I have

RA, but he says I don't fit the criteria...however, my joints become

cement-like, and I may just not test positive for it. Who knows...I do know

that stress plays a big role in my flares, too, especially money stress, since I

am single.

Perhaps all muscular/joint autoimmune diseases are connected in some way...there

has to be some faulty wiring someplace. Too many of us have the same symptoms.

I got my disability in 2001 after three tries; finally I put together all my

medical records, a log of what I could and could not do, a pain scale, and the

judge was impressed enough and granted it. It is VERY tough in this part of the

country to get SSDI, it seems, and I can't figure it out. I live in Fargo, ND

where the unemployment rate is about zero and the work ethic is unbelievable.

No one wants to believe someone can't work!

Oh well, I suppose I had better try and ride my bike as I can barely move...at

least it loosens up my knees somewhat. I had a right TKA 18 months ago and need

my left one done, too. It is wonderful to read how supportive this group is.

Oh Marina, you asked about being a Legal Nurse Consultant....I have been an

independent LNC for over ten years. I was asked to review some medical records

on a child back in 1995 and I have done this ever since. BUT with tort reform

and awards being reduced so much with this administration, there is little work

to be had. SO I am going to a rehab counselor next week to try and get

something for 2 days a week....or I will lose my house. I am sure most everyone

here has had these same problems, which just adds to all the stress related to

disability.

Have a great weekend.

either. My rheumy says I am an enigma to him!! Oh well, that's par

for the course. Heck, I can't even get a definate diagnosis as to

why I continue to be a kidney stone factory!! Everything came back

either inconclusive or unknown. Heck, it was recommended that I cut

back on poultry and red meat. That is a funny recommendation

considering I have been a vegetarian for the last 20 years!! So,

it's par for the course for me!! As for the FMS, I work with

doctors who don't think it's a real disorder. Even the guys,

interns and residents, say the same thing. If only they could feel

what we feel!! The fatigue just sucks. I think that is worse than

the pain, though sometimes the pain is a real kick in the butt!!

Well, take care and welcome.

Feel free to email privately anytime!!.........Marina
