Beat Fibromyalgia And Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Malignant Toxic Stress. Lymphatic and Mitochondrial Failure. Part 5

Metabolic Cardiology and Mitochondrial Recovery

How can diet and supplements help to reduce toxicity and complement the Beat Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue protocol?

I continue anlaysis of the full protocol and interventions in my second major release of Metabolic Cardiology, where I examine in greater detail the effect of diet and supplements that can be used to help the detox process and begin mitochondrial repair.

I am now of the firm belief that diet plays a hugely important role in the cycle and development of these conditions and I will outline what has lead me to this assertion.

Across the hundreds of patients that I have seen, a small proportion had similar pre illness situations that I could not explain. They did not fit into the models I was using.

While I was trying to get to the cause of their toxic stress as part of my initial investigations it would become apparent that they had no exposure to what I consider to be the normal toxins that I see on a daily basis that cause the majority of these morbid conditions.

They also reported that they could not detail a specific date or illness that they considered to be the “onset” or “trigger” infection as I like to call it.

Also and most disturbingly they did not respond beyond a certain degree to my protocol. They would reach a plateau at around 50% improvement and stay there.

However their symptoms as described by my other diagnostics were exactly those of Fibromyalgia/CFS.

I began to look deeper at all feasible etiology, and found that diet was the only common link, all these people were addicted to wheat based carbohydrates particularly gluten.

They also were extensive consumers of dairy products and/ or yeast based drinks and other products.

Looking through the literature I decided to press on and referred them for blood based intolerance tests.

The results were conclusive. All these patients had strong intolerance reactions to the products mentioned above and I decided to try them on what I describe as a “primal low glycaemic” diet.

Within 4 weeks all these patients began to show rapid improvements above the 50% marker in conjunction with the other elements of the Beat Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue protocol.

Further investigations revealed that the foods they were eating were in fact not digesting well, and were causing allergic reactions which would then producing antigenic molecules (toxic molecules) which created their own toxic stress condition.

So basically simply by eating what we consider in our basic Western diet to be healthy foods containing wheat and dairy these particular individuals were generating toxic molecules in their own blood.

I went back to the literature and it became clear that the evidence is stacking up strongly against these products which form the basis of our Western diets.

Looking around my local foodstore it became clear that almost every single product, in particular anything that cannot be described as a natural or organic food contained wheat, dairy, albumen (egg white) and yeast, the four products that generate the strongest immune reactions in human beings (as described by the largest food intolerance testing companies in the US and Europe)

This conundrum baffled me for several weeks and lead me further into the paperchase. Here are a couple of interesting examples.

• In Japan, Thailand and China 90% of the populations lack the enzyme necessary to digest dairy produce. It appears in the west we have evolved a specific enzyme in response to the amount of dairy produce we consume. Could it be that we are not meant to consume a product meant for young calves who need to grow at a colossal rate in order to avoid being eaten by prey?

• The Eskimos had absolute zero incidence of heart disease or cancer until the 1940’s they adopted western diets containing wheat and dairy.

• Almost 15% of the populations may be intolerant to a complex protein molecule which is very difficult to break down and is found in wheat and to a lesser extent in other grains.

Long term consumption of these foods appeared to be affecting the digestive system of these patients and was creating situations where there was increased permeability of the gut wall, thereby allowing partially digested food to enter the blood stream.

The dietary investigations lead me deep into the world of metabolic cardiology and the effects of mitochondrial failure.

My regime for the primal diet and mitochondrial supplements was developed alongside the lymphatic musculoskeletal work.

The benefits to the patient from combining the two protocols is that they work symbiotically to create an even deeper, more rapid healing effect with an even higher success rate.

So high that the flowchart was developed to give a diagnostic intervention-based model to the medical profession for the very first time.

The “stop smoking” manual was actually a sideline I was working on with a colleague who has a particular interest in Neuro Linguistic programming and hypnotic therapies.

Having to refuse to treat people who were clearly addicted to a social drug always left me feeling frustrated that there was nothing I can actually do if patients are unable to help themselves.

This gave me the inspiration for this particular book which comes as part of the package.

We were wondering partly if we could use these techniques simply in a readable format that was so powerful that simply by reading a book, could it possible to change the way you think about an activity as ingrained as smoking.

We were pleased with the results and I dedicate this book to my good friend and colleague Joseph Davies.
