I have wondered what effect our everyday environment has on our bodies. Could the foods that we eat, could the air that breath, and could the water that we drink, could all of these things be what is making us sick???
While I do not believe that anybody has the answers, I think time will give us the answers. You may ask what got me thinking about this was this, website bone-muscle.health.health-cares.net.
Another theory involves phosphate and calcium accumulation in cells that eventually reaches a level to impede the ATP process, possibly caused by a kidney defect or missing enzyme that prevents the removal of excess phosphates from the blood stream. This theory posits that fibromyalgia is an inherited disorder, and that phosphate build up in cells is gradual (but can be accelerated by trauma or illness). Calcium is required for the excess phosphate to enter the cells. The additional phosphate slows down the ATP process; however the excess calcium prods the cell to continue producing ATP. While this theory does not identify the causative mechanism in the kidneys, it proposes a treatment known as guaifenesin therapy. This treatment involves administering the drug guaifenesin to a patient’s individual dosage, avoiding salicylic acid in medications or on the skin, and, if the patient is also hypoglyemic, a diet designed to keep insulin levels low. The phosphate build-up theory explains the myriad symptoms present in fibromyalgia and provides an underlying cause. The treatment has had wide success when followed properly. As it is rather new, however, no successful clinical trials involving the treatment in its entirety have been conducted to date.
Other theories relate to various toxins from the patient’s environment, viral causes, growth hormone deficiencies, neurotransmitter disruptions in the central nervous system, and erosion of the protective chemical coating around sensory nerves. Due to the multi-systemic nature of illnesses such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), an emerging branch of medical science called psychoneuroimmunology is looking into how the various theories fit together.
