Fibromyalgia Information and Treatment Protocol

By: Dr. Garry F. Gordon, M.D.

I have had extensive involvement over the past 40+ years as an innovator and leader in alternative medicine. You may be reading this because of your interest in a troublesome and often difficult to treat symptom complex that has been labeled: Fibromyalgia.

As you may have learned by now, from your doctors and from your travels on the internet, this condition has become increasingly common, yet, until now there has not been an effective, safe, non-toxic approach that will definitely work in virtually every case. In fact, many have gone for years without a correct diagnosis, and sporadic, but largely ineffective treatment. If you take the time and effort to learn what I can teach you here, you will have substantial success. You will learn from this page that there are some extremely important elements to this illness that you have never been informed about before now, and without understanding the entire picture, all efforts are doomed to failure.

This war must be fought on at least three fronts:

• Infection
• Toxicity
• Blood Thinning

We must thin the blood in order to deal with the HYPERCOAGULABILITY we have now proven is a key step in overcoming this problem. Failure to do this means you never fully eradicate the underlying infection nor do you adequately bring fresh blood to the painful areas, nor do you bring in needed nutrients (like the magnesium you have heard about that is so important in this condition and at least 70 other nutrients needed to repair the starved tissue).

Furthermore, oxygen must be made available to help heal the painful tissues. This is accomplished in my program by detoxifying your blood vessels so that they can make Nitric Oxide, which is now known to markedly enhance blood flow AND oxygen delivery. In addition to bringing everything into the painful areas, you must also remove all the toxins that have accumulated in these STARVED areas of diminished blood flow in your body. These toxins are the major contributor to the symptoms, pain and spasms, that you suffer from with this problem. Clearly it will take some time to detoxify, but many see enough improvement from my program within the first two weeks that they can finally relax because they know they have found an answer that will work for them. After that, the longer you stay on the program the more you improve.

Unfortunately, we live on a polluted planet, so even if you have fully recovered, I urge you to always keep on a maintenance level of these nutrients, which are unlike ANYTHING you have ever tried, I do not care HOW much you THINK you know, this program that I have put together could NOT be found on your own anywhere. I have a top authority who writes books and lectures everywhere on nutrition, whose husband recently developed a major health problem, and nothing was helping. His health is returning dramatically on the same products you will be taking if you follow my program. She continues to say: “What is going on, I have been in the nutrition field for 40 years, and we have taken everything, which I believed was the BEST AVAILABLE anywhere. Why did nothing ever work like this before?”

Once you understand that you must not operate your body with weight 100 motor oil when it was designed for weight 10 motor oil, you have one of the missing keys to achieving lasting improvement. This might mean that the toughest Fibromyalgia cases may respond more rapidly with the short-term use of an injection of heparin twice a day. These can be given to you (as in diabetes), with a tiny needle, however, since MOST of us are fearful of needles, I have fortunately found a unique alternative. This works by mouth, but since it is expensive we do not make everyone start out with it, unless they have taken the blood test and clearly MUST have the oral PLASMIN PLUS.

Furthermore, some patients may use oral forms of heparin, so with those and other enzyme choices, in most cases we can replace the need for taking HEPARIN by injection. The need for these injections or expensive oral blood thinners can be determined by a $1050 blood test or alternatively, it may be determined by how well you respond to the self-administered home program you will read about here. With patience, and, if you stay off junk food and gradually increase physical activity over a several month program, most respond without the use of injectable heparin.

Please understand that this aggressive program for blood thinning, oral or injectable, is ONLY needed long enough (2-8 months), to allow the total health-promoting program of nutrients and oral detoxifiers that I have found essential in treating fibromyalgia to get into the painful areas and do their work. Without this step, failure is to be expected. In fact, this blood thinning is such a key step that the first two products used in my program for treating fibromyalgia, namely FYI (For Your Inflammation) and Essential Daily Defense (Garlic Plus is the prior name), provide powerful but natural unique blood-thinning properties.

Good news, since these blood thinners are natural, this means that no one to my knowledge has every had to rush to the emergency room due to excessive bleeding, but if YOU have a history of serious bleeding after surgery as in hemophilia, CAUTION even with natural blood thinners is advised. We have found on a couple of occasions blood in the urine or feces over the last 17 years. This was NOT the fault of the natural products, these patients had early CANCERS and the natural blood thinning, even with Vitamin E in large doses, alerted these patients to see their doctor, realizing that something was wrong with them, and it was not a problem with the Garlic or Vitamin E or Ginkgo, or Salmon oil etc. This early detection however MAY have helped to save their life.

After you feel MUCH improved and know that you are on the road to recovery, you will still find you have a continuing need for a long-term maintenance program or your FIBROMYALGIA problem will return. You may become entirely symptom free, but without staying on a total health-promoting program, you will RELAPSE. This is because your need for the OTHER two CRITICAL parts of your Total FIBROMYALGIA program, Detoxification and Infection Control never stops. The need however becomes less intense after we have put you into remission, but the condition easily comes back if you abuse your body with anything, from excessive stress, sleep deprivation, junk food, to smoking again, etc.

You cannot ignore your need for constant low-level support on these two issues, since otherwise the blood also will AGAIN become hyper-coagulable and you are back where you started, with all THREE problems. You do live on a polluted planet, and your tissues really have 1000 times more lead, for example, than anyone living on this planet a few hundred years ago. This mass poisoning of all of us has lowered our immune system functioning so the infections that you hear about, which actual research proves are in MOST of us today, have gained the upper hand in some of us, and left us with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, and in fact these chronic infections are now proven to relate to everything from CANCER and Heart attacks to Alzheimer's disease.

Thus your program for your FIBROMYALGIA is actually a blessing in disguise since you will almost eliminate the possibility of these other conditions, if you carefully follow the program explained here. Please read the excellent book by Paul Ewald, “Plague Times.” This book explains how these infections are actually now proven to contribute to everything from Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, mental disease, even manic depression, schizophrenia, Cancer and Heart Disease.

The experts on infectious disease can really educate you on CMV and Herpes and Chlamydia and Epstein-Barr, the list goes on and on, and we all have several of these all of the time. But, at times, particularly when they become extremely active, as when our immune system is down, we develop symptoms related to what type of infection we have and where these infections are the most active. A website www.ccid.org can educate you on what some of these infections can do when they get into our brain and nerve cells. This is frightening but true that most of us apparently had some of these infections introduced into our bodies, or our parent's bodies, from vaccinations like the Polio vaccine.

Therefore, the protocol that you will find on my website has to deal with all three legs of this problem: Thick blood, detoxification, and control of these infections, which cannot be done unless the thick blood is dealt with! Antibiotics are usually not the answer; it must be by bringing YOUR immune system up to the level that YOU can handle the infection. For further details please see my acute and chronic infection protocols.

To prove to you exactly how much the abnormally thick blood is contributing to YOUR fibromyalgia problem, we have a $1,020 blood test that I assure you, without question, well over 95% of all people correctly diagnosed with fibromyalgia will fail. This is performed by a group of hematology experts who have been able to prove that one of the major contributors to the syndrome of symptoms labeled fibromyalgia is abnormally thick blood, which we normally call hypercoagulable blood. Some insurances will pay for this and I do not make everyone start out getting the test that is unfortunately expensive.

This information is so that you will not waste YOUR time and expect that anyone anywhere has a magic bullet that you simply swallow something for 5 days and your fibromyalgia disappears for all time. As a member of the Board of Medical Examiners for Homeopathic and Alternative Medicine in Arizona, I insist on your being fully informed, so that as you do recover you will know how and why you have been helped.

Without a full UNDERSTANDING of how you became ill, you will relapse sometime. Many will get a great deal of relief from doing SOME of the program, even for a short time. Just doing even a small part of what I am outlining for you here will help, but if you follow my total solution to FIBROMYALGIA in my experience everyone can permanently go off drugs like Vioxx, Celebrex, cortisone, pain pills etc.

However, I expect most patients to simply RELAPSE because they either decide that they do not need their nutritional support program anymore, or they decide to overeat junk foods and/or sweets, which knock out your immunity allowing reactivation of these admittedly incurable chronic infections again, like EBV- CMV Herpes etc. that we all carry. Sometimes just by overburdening the immune system with a simple cold or flu, (read and carefully follow my acute infection protocol and keep the needed supplements on hand so that you can realistically expect to never need antibiotics again) or seriously overdoing physically BEFORE taking at least 3 months of the intensive program I am outlining for you here.

Plan ahead to never run out of the products on this program; it is the KEY to making your body able to exist with optimal health in spite of the pollution we have introduced on our planet. Adequate treatment of this problem is the key to permitting the supplement program that I have devised to deal with the other two legs of the problem to fully work and will absolutely assure over time dramatic improvement in your illness. However, successful treatment can be complex in some cases; some patients, who had been incapacitated for years, took 9 months. Yet all can get well; we have the documented success stories that have proven to me that EVERYONE so far treated long enough responds. But the stumbling block for some is having the courage and confidence to stick with the program and yes for some it is MONEY, since even this non-drug based program can become rather expensive. Those on the allopathic or drug version of this program have had to spend as much as $50,000 to $100,000 in advanced cases, but if they stayed with the program, they are well. I am certain that the NATURAL approach explained here would never cost anything like that.

However, it is important to realize that some of you have much MORE than fibromyalgia contributing to your health problems, some also have DENTAL AMALGAM POISONING, and some have Diabetes, or malabsorption, food allergies etc. I want to offer to help everyone by helping you find a local physician that is involved in my kind of medicine. Many doctors can order the tests that I may need so that you should plan to get professional help IF you do not feel you are responding fast enough with the simple HOME program I am outlining here. I am available to do consultations and I enjoy working with YOUR doctor helping you get the full benefit from this comprehensive program. See my FAQ letter for more information.

There will be some patients who may have multiple reasons for any one part of the 3 legs of this problem. For example, the thick blood may not be JUST due to your infection; all infections make our blood thicker, but some have some genetic traits that the lab test can identify. There are some patients that we can almost assume will not be good responders UNLESS they use the injections of Heparin. Even then, there are alternatives: the oral Plasmin Plus from China works like a tissue plasminogen activator to dissolve blood clots and fibrin or a prescription of an oral form of Heparin can often eliminate the need for the heparin shots in those who are the MOST hypercoagulable on the $1050 test.

One of these reasons for needing shots is the exact opposite of thin blood (hemophilia), a condition called thrombophilia, which is amazingly quite common in society today. Unfortunately, establishing these facts costs patients approximately $1,050 with their blood specimen that must be processed in the outstanding laboratory located in Phoenix, Arizona, (under the directorship of David Berg) that specializes in doing this test.

• The need for detoxification
• The need for thinning the hypercoagulable blood, i.e. bringing in closer to weight 10 motor oil running through your system, instead of weight 100, which is too much like axel grease to effectively deliver nutrients and oxygen to your tissues, which is why they hurt so bad
• The chronic infections that all of us today have, whether you call them Lyme or chlamydia or coxackie or mycoplasma or stealth virus or CMV or herpes. We absolutely know that fibromyalgia patients generally have more than one of these serious chronic and difficult to treat infections, contributing then to their thick blood and their resultant lack of nutrient getting into tissue and toxins being removed from those tissues.

Fortunately, however, not everyone has to start out with getting this test done, because we have put together a program that is so beneficial, that given time, it works in most cases, because it hits the three major contributors to the fibromyalgia:

SIMPLE PROTOCOL FOR FIBROMYALGIA

• FYI-Med - three tablets, three times daily, taken either with meals or fasting
• Beyond C - one teaspoon, minimum, two times daily, preferably work up to three times daily
• Essential Daily Defense - two tablets with meals working up to three to four tablets, three times daily.

FYI-Med

The FYI stands for “For Your Inflammation”. You must know that there is not another product like this available anywhere in the world. This product is destined to replace Viox, Celebrex, pain medications, etc. This is the most comprehensive anti-inflammatory product ever designed. I am very proud to be involved in bringing this incredible product to the public. It contains a TOA free form of Cat's Claw from the rain forest. There is only a limited supply of this material in the world, which is why we currently do not plan to try and make this protocol available worldwide as that would require huge quantities of natural substances from the rain forest.

However, the results are so dramatic that FYI could clearly eliminate the need for most of the anti-inflammatory medication being used, including those on prescriptions, with total safety and far more effectiveness than any anti-inflammatory product you have ever used. In addition, FYI contains over 12 other active ingredients, like oil of oregano to deal with the hidden infections, as well as ginger and tumeric for their known anti-inflammatory activity. Anti-inflammatory medicine will reduce cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, but only this natural anti-inflammatory product can at the same time save your joints, while allowing you to safely function virtually pain-free.

Perhaps, most important, however in this INCREDIBLE FYI product, are the plant-based enzymes that we find have activated the Cat's Claw to do beneficial things never before reported, such as helping hepatitis, asthma, cancer etc., This is because even the expensive, patented, TOA free form of cat's claw, still does not seem to provide the dramatic benefits we are routinely finding with patients receiving FYI. I believe that many patients may be too ill to really get the full benefits from these immune support botanical products, which after all, are largely fiber based and need, therefore, to be made more available to your body by pre-digestion when you are sick.

Thus, FYI-Med, has been pre-treated with a unique, pre-digestion process involving soil-based organisms which I have proven are commonly extremely deficient in the intestinal tract of everyone today in our country. I believe this is because of the ubiquitous presence of antibiotics in our food supply. Without these vital organisms adequately present in your intestine, you do not receive the full benefit from any nutrients you consume. (Please see PRIMAL DEFENSE for more information) Please note that the collagen in this product contains all the glucosamine and chondroitin that you need for some of your joint support.

Beyond C

This is not like any other vitamin C available, anywhere else in the world. This is a major part of your program. The unique formulation of fully reacted neutral pH vitamin C permits you to take significantly higher doses of vitamin C than any other product existing anywhere today. Thus, there are other ingredients besides vitamin C in this formula that are critical to the success of this fibromyalgia treatment program. Please do not substitute.

Essential Daily Defense (Garlic Plus)

This is a product with over $10,000,000 worth of research behind it. It is so effective that it virtually has prevented all heart attacks and strokes in my practice for over 15 years. The unique blood thinning capability is only a small part, however, of the reason that you will never go off of this product. You will be in higher doses initially for the dramatic detoxification of heavy metals and other toxins from your body. Later you will lower the dose, but preferably, for an adult weighing 120 pounds or more, never less than 3 capsules twice a day if you wish to have optimal health while living on a polluted planet.

Acting as an oral chelator and blood thinner, EDD will permit your body to excrete 5-10 TIMES more lead and toxic metals everyday that you take it than those who are not so protected. The need will not go away in our lifetime; we all carry at least 1000 times more lead than ANYONE did a few hundred years ago.
