What is CFS and Fibromyalgia and what are the symptoms of this disease

Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic syndrome characterized by widespread and often debilitating pain in fibrous tissues, muscles, and other connective tissues. It affects 2-4% of the population and is found mostly in women between the ages of 20 to 50.

Fibromyalgia Symptoms include:

• Tender and sore areas of the body (shoulders, back of neck, lower back, hips, shins, elbows, and knees.
• Fatigue
• Migraines and recurring headaches
• Inability to focus
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Rashes
• Night sweats
• Inability to sleep
• Chronic aches of the body and face
• Inability to accomplish everyday tasks

Dr. Dantini treats fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue as viral infections. The fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms that develop are the body’s response to an active virus as it infects new cells in the body. Some people contract these viruses as adults, while others are infected as children. These “stealth” viruses can lay dormant inside the cells for years. When your immune system is depressed, the virus starts to replicate and the symptoms begin.

The initial symptoms of fibromyalgia are virus related. Additional symptoms may occur as the immune system becomes over stimulated. These chronic fibromyalgia symptoms have been related to delayed food allergies and are recognized in over 80% of the patients Dr. Dantini treats.

An allergy is a reaction to a foreign stimulus caused by the immune system’s response to eliminate it. Food allergies are just as common as inhalant allergies. Symptoms of inhalant allergies are typically sneezing, itchy eyes and runny nose. Food allergy reactions can be identified as any number of symptoms ranging from migraine headaches to acid reflux, arthritis to acne. Irritable bowel syndrome is known as one of the most common indicators of food allergies. Many symptoms commonly related to fibromyalgia are potentially signs of delayed food allergies. These symptoms can be cured by recognizing the food allergy and avoiding it.

As an auto-immune disease, the treatments vary, but The Sage G-Test has been shown to have had a 70% improvement of the symptoms, and a significant reduction in the frequency and severity of the episodes. For more information please visit Sage Home under Links.

“There is nothing any better, it is so too the point. Rather than take a pain pill to mask the symptoms, its great to just eliminate foods from your diet and feel 100% better. Dr. Dantinis program is excellent and very very helpful.”

Fibromyalgia

Linda:

I have had severe body pain fibromyalgia type pain for years. And I have gone to medical Doctors and specialist and was getting nowhere except getting more medications. Two years ago I was clawing my way upstairs at home because I could not walk I was so weak and in so much pain. I also had some liver dysfunction from all the medications from over the years that I had taken.

I decided to get my blood tested for food sensitivities, after that my life changed.

I am now loving life again I feel that I been giving a new lease on life, two weeks ago I hiked up Chimney Rock to see the waterfalls and back down again. And like I said two years ago I could not walk up my own stairs I was crawling.

We still marvel at the things I can do now that I couldn’t do several years ago.
