Neurological Dysfunction and Intervention.
So what is actually happening in the brain,
in the lead up to the ‘trigger’ infective illness.
As toxins enter or are created within the
body they begin to build up in the brains blood supply system,
which is extremely sensitive to toxic insult.
The first port of call is the hypothalamus.
This is consistent with all current research because the
hypothalamus has been proven to be poorly protected by the blood
brain barrier.
Why is the hypothalamus so important in
Fibromyalgia/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Well the hypothalamus actually controls
hormone production by continually checking actual current blood
levels of the various cocktail of hormones that are needed for
different organ functions.
As it needs to monitor the blood so
carefully it needs to be in very close proximity to it and this
is the reason ‘by design’ it cannot be protected so well
behind the blood brain barrier as other areas of the brain.
Once hormonal control is affected a whole
range of things start to go wrong.
For example, the hypothalamus controls the
pituitary gland, the pituitary gland then acts as the thermostat
for the thyroid gland.
The thyroid gland basically runs the entire
body’s metabolism.
If signals reaching the thyroid gland are
incorrect then all the problems associated with incorrect
thyroid function will begin to become apparent.
As the body’s metabolism degrades it is
at this point that a Fibromyalgia/ CFS trigger infection will
most likely enter the system and a viral bacterial or chemical
attack that would normally be repelled and dealt with without
much difficulty previously, now has a much more insidious
effect. And its at this point that you identify yourself as
becoming ‘ill’.
As stress levels increase rapidly during
the initial infective illness, it can be seen that a negative
feedback cycle is initiated.
Ideally, it would be at this point that the
combined intervention protocol I outline would be initiated to
break this downward cycle and limit the damage caused by the
downward spiral that you are on at this stage of the illness.
It is unfortunate that normally this does
not happen but again this is for a host of reasons.
The main reason as you will most likely
already have discovered is that it is generally several months
before you have the faintest idea what has happened to you. You
will have been through numerous diagnoses and probably several
doctors - and will have decided that it is only by your own
intervention dedication and research that you can do this.
The first thing we aim to achieve is a
massive overall reduction in toxicity within the body.
This will seriously limit the damage
potential to the brain and improve your overall long term
outcome.
Next you have to improve the function of
the Autonomic Nervous System with a further series of
interventions. A period of serious adjustment will take place
while this happens.
At the same time we outline the supplement
and diet regimes necessary to aid the detox while it is actually
happening and reverse the downward spiral.
A powerful cocktail of antioxidants,
specific vitamins and minerals, essential enzymes, digestive
support, fatty acids and other elements are used to mop up the
released toxins, restore essential ingredients and reverse the
downward spiral.
