Regarding the Trouble in Iowa Group, I was diagnosed with Fibro more than 10 years ago. SInce that time I have researched it and reseached it. There is a diagnostic test for it. Only 3 labs that I am aware of now do the test called the PCR. A radio MD named Dr. Gabe Mirkin says that he cures most of his fibro patients by getting them on tetracycline drugs for 6 monnths to 2 years. He will rule out depression first as many forms of depression mimic fibro. He will often order the PCR test. He links mycoplasmal organisms as the main cause behind infertility, fibro, MS, reumatoid arthritis and so on. He has a website with large archives on these topics. I think it is http://www.mirkin.com He is a conventionl MD in that he will use conventional drugs like doxycycline. and other FDA approved drugs. He is not very approving of things like colloidal silver. He poo-poos most alternative medicine which is why I am not 100% in his corner, but for a conventional allopath I have to rate him a 10, and I would go to him for some things. He has a practice in the Washtington, DC area. He cured his own wife of RA and I understand when they met she was wheelchair bound from RA.
Other things I have learned on Fibro are that it may be a kissing cousing of polio. I learned from the Health Sciences Institute that there are 63 or more strains of polio, only 3 of these strains produce classic polio symtoms, of leg and lung paralysis and muscle wasting. The others have symptoms that are flu-like to merely a headache and mild fever, to no symtoms at all, yet all can stay in the body and slowly wreak havoc with the system and after 10 or 20 years produce the controversial condition now known as post-polio syndrome. Polio is also cousins with some organism that cause what is called Myalgic Encephalitis, which is what fibro symtoms are diagnosed as in Canada and England. Fibro is clearly a neurological disorder. Mine has impoved on colloidal silver and I am getting more improvements using the ultimate HGH stuff. A poly-peptide growth hormone stimulant. I will be trying yet other forms of HGH homeopathic as well. Qigong has also gone a long way at fighting fibro. Exercise is key, you have to work out in spite of the pain. Also FibroMalic a product made of Malic acid can alleviate the pain as can sleeping on magnets. This disorder can be fought but it usually needs to be fought in several ways. I think I need to write a book on the subject, I have way more info than I can put in an e-mail Regards, Barb -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
