Today I had an EMG/CRS Nerve Study done per my
Rheumatologists for my back/knee pain. Have had X-rays, an
MRI (on both knees), ANA, Rheumatoid Factor, CBC and all
came back negative. My Rheumatologist suspects Fibromyalgia.
The Neurologist who performed the EMG today said that when
someone has unexplained back pain that can't be diagnosed,
it may indicate that there is some kind of virus (i.e.
herpes) hiding within the spine just waiting for the immune
system to get weak so it can launch an attack. He suggested
I get a scoping to look for pre-cancerous polyps and stated
that 3 of his patients with unexplained back pain had scopes
done and found pre-cancerous polyps.
I read somewhere that herpes is a contagious virus that
lives at the base of the spine in the nerve cells. Periodic
attacks can occur whenever the immune system is below par.
Any kind of emotional, mental or physical stress can lower
the body's defense system and create the perfect climate for
an outbreak. The common physical stressors included were
illness, menstrual periods, vaginal yeast infections,...and
certain foods."
Now, I've learned a lot about LGS/Candida by reading through
the archives and posts on your BB and I am certain I fall
under the catagory of being an LGS/Candida sufferer. I
suffer from joint pain, acne, psoriasis, and when I eat
sugar, refined carbs (pasta) or red wine my symptoms flair
up immediately or overnight. I've given up sugar and coffee,
but the carbs and red wine have been hard to give up
completely. Other than that I try to stick to a whole foods
diet as much as possible. Recently my worst symptoms have
been frequent yeast infections, psoriasis and painful cramps
that lasted 3 days during my last period. A few months ago I
was having repeated herpes outbreaks. I've never had yeast
infections and herpes before this time. My boyfriend has
frequent cold sores and I understand candida can be passed
on to your live-in partner/spouse.
I take Magnesium, Vit E, Vit. C, Wobenzyme, Flax seed oil, a
Probiotic, Chromium Picolonate and Vit. B Complex. I
alternate between taking garlic, grapefruit seed extract,
H20 with lemon and apple cider vinegar every 4 days.
Do think I should have a "scoping?" I'm 40 years old and I
believe my back pain is due to some old sports injuries as
well as misalignment with my back. My left side (shoulder)
is higher than the right. My knee and right leg pain is due
to the varicose veins (that don't look as bad as they feel)
from my pregnancy and I believe the overcompensation from
the pain on my left side which has resulted in restricted
blood flow. (Or so I thought).
I thought I had it all figured out and now this Neurologist
is making me worry that I have pre-cancerous polyps? Is
there something else I should be doing (other than giving up
my carbs and red wine-which I'm working on)? Primal Defense,
Pau d'Arco possibly???
I've searched thru the archives but couldn't find anything
mentioning this problem specifically.
Thank

See picture of dentist who used to say mercury is non toxic:!
Typical symptoms of mercury poisoning!
This book explains how the modern epidemic of disabling, incurable chronic diseases is due to unrecognized mercury poisoning. Many conditions, from Parkinson's disease and autism - widely recognized as terrible afflictions - to those like chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia which, though equally serious, are disparaged as "Yuppie flu" can be undiagnosed mercury poisoning. The book explains WHY mercury poisoning is so widespread, yet seldom diagnosed. Proper diagnostic procedures are given so that sick people can decide what is wrong rather than trying random treatments. This book explains how to cure chronic mercury poisoning, what to do to control the problems it causes, and provides the real technical information needed for diagnosis and treatment in a straightforward manner. This down to earth book lets patients take care of themselves. It also lets doctors who are not familiar with chronic mercury intoxication treat it. The book is a practical guide to getting well.
Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment
What you can do to get better
How your doctor can help
by Andrew Hall Cutler, PhD, PE
ISBN 0-9676168-0-8
A wide variety of debilitating and supposedly incurable conditions may actually be due to chronic mercury poisoning. Mercury poisoning can be easily cured if it is recognized. These conditions are seldom cured because mercury poisoning is believed to be rare. It is not. It is quite common. Thus, many people suffer needlessly.
Many of today's "mystery syndromes" that physicians don't know how to treat at all - fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, anorexia, recurrent depression - aren't mystery syndromes. They are just mercury poisoning. Treating them as mercury poisoning cures them, while the usual treatments are seldom effective in the long term.
This book gives practical guidance on how to tell if you really have chronic mercury poisoning or some other problem. If mercury poisoning is your problem, the book tells you how to get the mercury out of your body, and how to feel good while you do that.
Sections also explain how the scientific literature shows many people must be getting poisoned by their amalgam fillings, why such a regulatory blunder occurred, and how the debate between "mainstream" and "alternative" medicine makes it more difficult for you to get the medical help you need.
Most of the book is devoted to what you can do to treat the symptoms of amalgam illness while you get rid of your mercury. The treatment section gives step by step directions to figure out exactly what mercury is doing to you and how to fix it. You can feel better soon. This book tells you how.
Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment was written by a research chemist who himself got mercury poisoning from his amalgam dental fillings. He found that there was no suitable educational material for either the patient or the physician. Knowing how much people can suffer from this condition, he wrote this book to help them get well fast.

My best friend has one of the worst cases of fibro I've ever had contact with. She has no amalgam fillings, and never has.
