How can diet and supplements
help to reduce toxicity and complement the Beat Fibromyalgia and
Chronic Fatigue protocol?
Diet plays a hugely
important role in the cycle and development of these conditions
and I will outline exactly why this is clearly the case.
A small proportion of
sufferers report similar pre-illness situations that cannot be
explained by the normal models. They do not fit into any known
models for these fatigue conditions. They reported no exposure
to the normal toxins or lifestyle events that cause the majority
of these morbid conditions.
They also reported that they
could not identify a specific date or illness that they
considered to be the ‘onset’ or ‘trigger’.
However their symptoms as
described by all other diagnostics were exactly the same as
those of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue sufferers.
Research indicated that
there is a common link. All these people were addicted to wheat
based carbohydrates particularly gluten.
They may also have been
addicted to dairy products and/ or yeast based drinks and other
products.
All these cases had strong
intolerance reactions to the food products mentioned above and
were placed on a very basic nutritious elimination diet.
All these individuals began
to show rapid improvements in conjunction with the other
elements of the How to 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 produce antigenic molecules (toxic molecules) which created
their own toxic stress cycle.
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.
Furthermore gluten molecules
appear to create direct disturbance of the Hypothalamic
Pituitary Axis and thereby reduce thyroid activity in these
individuals.
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
food-store 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 onto further research. Here are a
couple of interesting examples.
1: In
Japan
,
Thailand
and
China
90% of populations lack an 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 that need to grow at a colossal rate in order to
avoid being eaten by prey?
2: The Eskimos had absolute
zero incidence of heart disease or cancer until the 1940’s
when they adopted western diets containing wheat and dairy.
3: Almost 15% of the planets
human population 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 systems of
these sufferers and was creating situations where there was
increased permeability of the gut wall, thereby allowing
partially digested food to enter the blood stream.
