Thank you for your wonderful video! I have done so much research on all of my health issues & didn’t believe I actually had fibromyalgia. I thought this diagnosis was given when a doctor can’t figure out what is wrong with you. Your explanation of this condition & how it affects the body is exceptional! All of my research on how to heal each aspect of my body is all put together in your video. You are an amazing doctor & truly gifted to understand this condition!!!

Depression is also linked to inflammation. Some Evolutionary Biologists have theorized that humans evolved depression behavior as a response to trauma because in our hunter gatherer past, trauma was strongly correlated with physical injuries caused by a predator or a rival tribe, and physical injuries always result in inflammation. In our Paleolithic past, depression behavior such as low social acivity, less sleep, etc was an adoptive behavior to not only lower our exposure to predators and rival humans, but also helped our ancestors in avoiding bacterial infections and flesh eating parasites like old world screwworm species to their wounds.

But in this day and age it's impossible to avoid Gluten, Dairy, Sugar and processed foods! As most people with CFS won't have energy to cook everything on their own.
We only have option to either eat outside food or to starve !!

[abduljaleel]

I m suffering from food allergy for long time (like watery eyes, itchy eyes, and runny nose )were frequent after watching your video it helped me

[yahsyo]

WOW! Packed full video! I have fibromyalgia and CFS and was previously diagnosed with Epstein Barr Virus. I have many of the issues you address in this video and also take most if not all the supplements you mentioned. I am currently in a flare up of the CfS and I’m also homozygous for MTHFR C677T. I will watch again and follow some of your links. Oh and if that wasn’t enough I have diabetes.

[kottimeeralal]

Mam after watching Ur videos I consulted a Dr like U he diagnosed my case as sibo, leaky gut, ibs.
He prescribed me berberine, l glutamine, betaine HCl, digestive enzymes.( 2times each suppliment.)I am using them from Oct to till now . In India it is summer now my question is why I am getting motions although I am using the prescribed medicines.( Till February my bowel movements are normal i used to go 2 or 3 times with hard stools) from March 10 I am getting motions. Mam is this due to summer weather or anything else. May I know your thoughts on this problem. I also experiencing hotness in my stomach in summer is this due to leaky gut mam.

[Mickey]

You answered all my questions and then some. Thank you very much for this wonderful information!

[arzinarach]

Have you heard of Low Dose Immunotherapy (testing for food allergy with vaccines) for food and chemical sensitivities within a CFS illness.

[karmenashikian]

My pain disappears with antihistamines. Is this still considered fibromyalgia?

[karronlaneNOLA]

i don't mean to oversimplify but it seems that healing the gut and keeping it healthy is the key to healing or improving a lot of issues?? i'm insulin resistant and working hard to get my glucose down. i read high glucose can be one cause of leaky gut; is that your understanding? also, thanks to following your leaky gut supplement protocol, i no longer have to take dao! i'll be staying on a low hist diet for a long time but wow, i'm so grateful for the improvement. thanks so much for your videos! you are very appreciated. oh. and this. my allergist told me she doesn't believe in hist intolerance so i knew i was on my own. now i'm working on my fibro. baby steps.
