Fibromyalgia is a painful condition expressed by widespread tenderness  in the muscles, joints, tendons and other tissues.  With fibromyalgia, it is also common to see depression, fatigue, anxiety, arthritis, insomnia and other psychiatric symptoms expressed concurrently.  Many researchers have struggled to link the symptoms and discover a cause.  We have noticed a sharp improvement in fibromyalgic symptoms as a result of our sauna detoxification process, and the balancing of Serotonin in the brain chemistry.  The results have been so beautiful, that we are forced to present a hypothesis.

Low Serotonin is associated with fibromyalgia, hence the reason why anti-depressants have a temporary positive effect on Fibromyalgia. We have done brain chemistry testing on all of our clients to validate this point.   But the low serotonin can be the result of anything that is over-exciting the neurology, which will expend the inhibitory neurotransmitters such as Serotonin.  Food allergies, undigested food particles entering the bloodstream, are known to cause swelling in the whole body including joints and muscles.  This is due to the inflammatory reaction of the immune system attacking what is perceived as a foreign invader.  This inflammation and the byproducts thereof are deposited in the joints and tissues.  In treating persons with multiple and diverse food allergies and the Candida that is co-occurring, we found often that the Candida was highly resistant to treatment, and that even with the best, most accurate diets and Candida treatments, the symptoms persisted.  We then noticed that the people engaging in the sauna detoxification where being relieved of not only fibromyalgic symptoms, but the Candida and environmental-food sensitivities without the benefit of specifically addressing any of the co-occurring symptoms.

The sauna detoxification is designed to remove fat-soluble toxins and heavy metals from the body.  Since the nerves and endocrine glands are largely fatty tissue, these are the tissues most affected.

Natural elements that are use in the process are specifically designed to convert the toxins from a fat soluble form into a water soluble form. The toxins can then be safely sweated out, which reduces the burden on the liver and kidneys, and limits the chance of reabsorption in the gut.  Mineral baths are also effective at bypassing the gut for toxin elimination, though the baths probably only have a limited effect on tissues deeper than one inch.  We have come to discover that it is the toxins that promote the presence of Candida, and when the healthy gut flora is compromised, undigested food particles can enter the blood stream and cause allergic responses.  These allergic responses cause swelling in the tissues, joints, brain and therefore headaches, and fatigue due to the stasis of blood flow.  The toxins lodged in the nerve tissue act as excito-toxins, exciting the neurology and therefore burning up the available Serotonin since Serotonin is used to inhibit over stimulation in the neurology.  Without Serotonin, depression and insomnia are the result.

So, the connections look like this:

·         Toxins and heavy metals accumulate in the nerve tissue and endocrine glands due to high fat content of those tissues

·         The toxins exert an excitability to the neurology, which to maintain balance, the body spends inhibitory Serotonin

·         The toxins promote the growth of Candida, and suppress healthy gut bacteria

·         The lack of healthy gut bacteria allows undigested food particles to enter the bloodstream, therefore initiating and inflammation reaction

·         Inflammation in the tissues and joints, and also the rest of the body resembles the diagnosis of fibromyalgia

By removing these toxins, great gains have been seen in the symptoms of fibromyalgia as well as balancing of the Serotonin levels of brain chemistry as seen in blood testing.
