Fibromyalgia is a chronic illness of the connective tissue. Patients
commonly “hurt all over”, and their suffering is often magnified
by the fact that because the source of the disease is unknown physicians
have been known to discount the patient’s symptoms.
Conventional medicine to date has been unable to pinpoint the cause(s)
of fibromyalgia. Because it is a disease of the soft tissue, which pervades
the entire body, patient symptoms tend to be diverse and change frequently.
Consequently, the illness is often believed to be pshychosomatic. This
point of view does the patient a great disservice! Like many diseases,
fibromyalgia does have a psychological component, which is magnified
when diverse therapies are administered without effect. The disease
is often related to hormonal and pre-menopausal conditions (this is
why women are affected more frequently than men), which are frequently
expressed on mental and emotional levels.
Symptoms
Fibromyalgia symptoms are highly variable. They frequently include:
• Burning pain in the muscles and the hypodermis, which is often
rather "doughy" and decreased in tension
• Excessive tiredness during physical exertion and lack of stamina.
The actual strength is not diminished
• The skin and hypodermis are excessively sensitive to pressure
and impact
• In over 90 % of cases it occurs in women, usually in the middle
of life. Commonly, their hormonal situation has recently changed; often
they have taken the "pill" already for many years with good
results
• Loss of libido is common, not only because of the pain, but
probably for hormonal reasons
• Symptoms are highly variable and change often, and patients
are commonly not tolerant to auxiliary stress
The psychological symptoms of many patients come from a substantial
weakness of the parasympathetic nervous system. Resignation, tension,
sleep problems, even a secondary depression can result. The relationship
between the tonus (spontaneous tensile state) of the parasympathetic
nervous system, and its opponent, the sympathetic nervous system, has
strongly shifted. We can measure this objectively with our new test
method, the Heart Rate Variability Test.
Etiology (Causes)
Acidic substances or other "free radicals" are stored in the
intermediate cell tissues. Very frequently patients have an "over
acidified" mesenchyme due to protein overload. Histamines and serotonins
magnify the problem, which is why hidden food allergies must be addressed.
Without individual, focused dietary therapy there can be no success!
Most diets fail to bring results because allergens are not fully eliminated
and no effort is made to neutralize acidification.
Suffering always has orthomolecular aspects: the essential amino acids
are not plentiful enough, but too many free amino acids are bound in
the cell tissues, which then bind H+ - ions (bound acids). Calcium is
usually stored in the soft tissues, which promotes tissue rigidity on
a long-term basis and magnifies bone decalcifying processes. The unsaturated
fatty acids in the blood (practically never considered in conventional
medicine, but of the greatest importance) have a fundamental influence
on hidden inflammatory processes in the body. Improper nutrition leads
to a substantial lack of these high-quality fats, and a strong perponderance
of the inflammation-promoting saturated or transexamic fatty acids.
Fibromyalgia usually involves a problem with endorphins. Low dose naltrexone
improves the body’s endorphins and shows a clear improvement within
four to six weeks in 30% of fibromyalgias patients. Through darkfield
microscopy, we have further observed the reduction of "blood magnetism",
or the decreased cell charge of erythrocytes. This can be improved with
a strict orthomolecular therapy, removal of neutralizing electromagnetic
fields, and improvement of the oxygen therapy (e.g. ozone therapy).
The more cells are supplied with oxygen, the less the lactate producing
acidosis of the tissues, with a corresponding decrease in pain. Treatment
of the underlying lactacidosis of the tissues with homoeopathic organic
acids (Sanum remedies) can decrease or affect these organic acids.
Newly-recognized relationships exist between the polysaccharides in
the mesenchyme and at the cell walls, which cause the osmotic tensile
state of these tissues: it can be shown that the binding behavior of
glucosamines is changed by sugars and lactose released in the skin tissues.
With clockwise rotating galactose, however, the glucosamine connections
can be normalized again. Pain receptors in the soft tissues are also
thereby changed.
Paticularly important in treatment of fibromyalgia is the recognition
of cell-wall free bacteria. Research shows an increase in chronic and
hidden bacterial infections. Patients with an extensive history of antibiotic
treatments are more often susceptible to fibromyalgia. American researchers
have indicated that bacteria are only partially killed with antibiotic
therapy, and are able to change into “cell wall-free bacterial
forms”, which remain in the skin tissues and have an antigenic
effect. Because they are not fully recognized as antigens, they are
not processed through inflammation, but rather lead only to partial
immune reactions. An ingenious therapeutic form of the haptens (partial
antigens in polysaccharide form), developed by the company Sanum in
Germany, makes these cell wall-free forms recognizable again for the
immune system by antigen marking. Such phenomena are described by mycoplasmas,
chlamydia, staphylococci, cephalosporins and brucella. We have developed
specific therapy forms (Sanukehle) to address these partially pathogenic
exciters. Very frequently these cell wall-free bacteria are visible
with the darkfield microscopy of the vital blood (without coloring).
Treatment
Because of the imbalance in their autonomic nervous system (which has
physical causes) the patients are in a constant tensile state. They
require an intensive regenerative therapy of the parasympathetic nervous
system with neural therapies, and regeneration of the intestinal mucosa
flora, which are the carriers of parasympathetic activity. Patients
are done an injustice with anti-depressive treatment, which only decreases
the liver function and thus the detoxification of the body. Anti-depressive
medications only create eternal patients! Patients are not psychologically
ill or depressed; they are in a continuous sympathotonic tensile state
through the reduction of parasympathetic activity. Magnesium, potassium,
manganese, as well as other trace elements, improves the condition.
Initially, treatment is administered in a stationary treatment in a
holistic medical center (e.g. Paracelsus Clinic Lustmühle or Paracelsus
Al Ronc) over a period of one to three weeks.
During the stay, the following therapies must be intensively administered:
• Alkaline infusions and focused regenerative infusions with trace
elements, vitamins and antioxidants (special isotonic bicarbonate infusions)
• Strict dietary conversion, according to food allergies
• Stimulation of gallbladder activity to increase elimination
of organic waste products and the xeno-hormones
• Infrared sauna, the only therapeutic instrument which deeply
energizes the hypodermis and encourages the detoxification of heavy
metals and organic waste products. This special, long-wave infrared
radiation goes .8 cm into the hypodermis and promotes blood circulation
and the dissolution of the fat-soluble free radicals, which have a cell-irritative
effect
• Colon-hydrotherapy and reflorisation is intensive detoxification
therapy and stimulates the vegetative nervous system
• Ozone therapy (facultative)
• Pulsating magnetic field therapy or local hyperthermia
• Restructuring of the internal milieu with alkaline substances
and isopathica. (Isopathica and the newly developed Haptens are extremely
effective in treating cell wall-free, chronic bacterial forms in the
connective tissue)
• In some cases, a natural treatment of the hormonal situation
is necessary
• Dental and other toxic foci are often present, as are heavy
metal toxic loads. These are identified and treated in a later phase
• Focused restructuring of the body’s own "softening"
natural fat components in the cells and connective tissues. Correct
phospholipids and fatty acids (vegetable, high-quality oils, depending
upon fatty acid analysis) are supplied
• In difficult cases, a true reorganization can be achieved by
complete body hyperthermia, in which a fever of 39.5 to 40.0 degrees
celsius is induced in the patient
• D-galactose-therapy (see above)
• Myoreflex therapy, a refined osteopathic therapy from Dr. Mosetter.
It both stimulates and loosens the vegetative nervous system. It particularly
eases muscle tension, which is caused by sympathetic nervous system
tonus and is quite painful
• Focused movement training and breathing therapies, solar plexus
exercises. Walking if possible
Success Ratio
Fibromyalgia is a classic example of an illness that produces tremendous
costs under conventional medical treatment because those treatments
are ineffective. One to three weeks of stationary therapy at the Paracelsus
Clinic, followed by six months therapy at home, can produce a largely
pain-free condition in the majority of patients. The treatment at home
is simple and involves, for example, simple dietary conversion and biological
medicines. Further Paracelsus alkaline infusions with detoxifying medicines
and trace elements may be necessary every two weeks for some months,
but only on an out-patient basis with the family doctor. We have been
doing this kind of treatment very successfully for several years; in
80-90% of the cases we see a considerable improvement, and large conventional
medical treatments or clarifications are no longer necessary.
