Fibromyalgia & Red Blood Cell Mishap-age


Somehow, in this high-speed digital world, it took 12 years for me to learn there is a physical symptom for FMS that shows up in blood tests and can prove you have it. I love my doctor (he is also super cute) but even he didn't know this, as he told me a few years ago you could see MS in medical tests, but FMS is invisible. Not so.

Dr. Les Simpson from New Zealand discovered that the blood cells of people with CFS, FMS and some other diagnoses are misshapen. Seems the cholesterol gets removed from them, and they get the wrong shape so they can't fit through the capillaries. They can't carry oxygen to parts of body, primarily the muscles & nerves, so - voila nerve pain. You can read more here

This is not so surprising, considering that even stress will misshape them. Check out this site, which hosts this visual of what stress alone can do to blood cells. 

Also interesting to note as physical proof for CFS, one poor victim was shown to have scar tissue in her brain, possibly due to lack of oxygen. I say victim, because I firmly believe these diagnoses are all the result of mycoplasma biowarfare, which involves the exchange/agreement of the US and Canada to conduct experiments on each others' citizens. For more on the covert testing of mycoplasma, check out this site also:

(If you are reticent to believe the rationale behind this thought stream, check out this site, which shows again physical evidence that CFS exists, and then questions why CFS patients have a virus, and tend to get cancer...They ask "What is this virus, and where did it come from?" Perhaps here?)

So a bigger picture is emerging.

Equally disturbing is that doctors don't know about this. By choice! The site I referenced in the link above states that no doctors show up to Dr. Simpson's lectures on the topic. Why would this be? I am befuddled why our doctors (even my own, when I told him) ignore government biochemical experiments and their effects on the body. The drug companies may be paying them off to prescribe meds, but are they brainwashing them also, so they completely close their minds to reality? Another doctor referenced in this site apparently denied a connection between the mycoplasma and CFS, although the patient's mother had clearly heard otherwise.

Also unsure why the media doesn't acknowledge it. As an experiment, I may send this information around to some editors and see if there are any whistleblowers around. After all, the government openly admits doing these poisonings, yet nobody seems to care.

Fast forward to my care. So yesterday I picked up the recommended Evening Primrose Oil & took some. I actually feel better today, but it may be a fluke, so I am not celebrating. Yet. Because of course, it contains boucoup salicylates, and my back will likely start to hurt like crazy. But the Primrose Oil is supposed to help reshape my little blood cells so they can go on their merry way again.

What else gets blood cell shapes back to normal so they can continue their oxygen-laden journeys? Lack of stress, exercise, B-12, some medication he mentions that I need to research, and a couple other things. Sounds somewhat like some stuff I have already been doing for years. My primary way to lower pain has always been exercise, or anything that increases oxygen.

I had already figured out the link between pain & oxygen years ago. I have always known that anything that increases oxygen lowers pain. So now it is very interesting to hear there is a medical reason.

So this is the start of my foray into a new self-care regimen. It includes some old & some new:

1. Low stress
2. Daily exercise
3. Vitamin B-12 by Jarrow (I can tell these work, I have used them for a few months)
4. Guaifenisen protocol (For last 12+ years)
5. EMPower by True Hope (I just receive a few months shipment yesterday)
6. Evening Primrose Oil (6 weeks is supposed to show if it works or not)

Happy blood cells, here we come! :)
