The Immune System

Main component of the immune system is in the GI tract (the gut) > 70%.

Physical and/or Emotional Trauma

This theory should always be considered as the body reacts the same way to physical trauma as it does to emotional trauma:

Let’s take a look at what happens to the gut during trauma:  During extreme stress or shock, the body decreases blood flow to the intestines thereby ensuring critical blood flow to the heart and brain.  Meanwhile the decreased blood flow to the gut causes injury to these tissues and linings.  Whether it be minimal or massive, there is some loss of function to the gut barrier.  Now we have “leaky gut.”  Again, remember the gut the carries enough toxin to kill the host thousands of times over, even small increases in tissue permeability have huge consequences.

There are many theories for the cause of chronic fatigue & fibromyalgia — from viral infections, leaky gut, food allergies and toxins to psychological stress.  Over the past couple of years we have taken a close look at these theories by conducting our own clinical research.  We tested patients suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia for reactive antibodies to molds, viruses, food allergies, heavy metals, chemicals, additives and preservatives. We found that an immune system overwhelmed by these substances will make reactive antibodies that send out inflammatory markers thus causing overall pain & discomfort as well as causing other biochemical reactions provoking anxiety & sleep problems.  In the process, we uncovered hidden viral components which further overwhelm the immune system causing flu-like symptoms and other adverse reactions.

FATIGUE & FIBROMYALGIA

In 1990 the American College of Rheumatology published criteria for Fibromyalgia requiring that the patient had a history of chronic widespread pain along with 11 or more of the 18 “tender points” upon examination.  This criteria was originally established for research purposes only.  However, what happened is that practitioners began using this criteria as a diagnosis for “Fibromyalgia.” It is believed that this series of events has led to many misconceptions about fibromyalgia.  To date there is no FDA approved diagnostic test or bio-marker in order to standardize the definition of Fibromyalgia (Harris, RE; Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center).  There are many theories for the cause of this condition from viral infections to “leaky gut”, food allergies, toxins and psychological stress.

Chronic Fatigue syndrome is debilitating fatigue after physical or mental activity that is not alleviated with rest and also experiencing unexplained depressed mood.  Fibromyalgia is basically  “widespread pain with a long list of symptoms.”  Most of our patients seeking help for their condition have been told by health care practitioners that all of their lab tests and diagnostics are normal and so there is nothing more they can do. As of today, no bio-markers have been identified therefore, there is no FDA approved treatment.

From what we have seen at our clinic, Chronic fatigue and/or Fibromyalgia have no boundaries to male or female, rich or poor.   Symptoms may appear after physical or emotional trauma, but  this is not always the case.

In 2009 we tested patients suffering from symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia for reactive antibodies to foods, additives, preservatives, chemicals and heavy metals.  We found reactive antibodies to all categories in every patient.   Every patient test had different results.  We also tested patients for  antibodies to various viruses - most of them childhood viruses.  Our patients had high viral titers to 3 or more of these.  Understand that a healthy immune system makes titers (IgG) to these viruses after initial exposure - however, these titers were greater than 4 x normal or more.  It seemed to be the common denominator amongst the patients.  See viral panel below for further viral infection and symptoms.
