DOM'S NEWSLETTER
April 18,
2010
A Christian-based,
compassionate newsletter for people with fibromyalgia (FMS),
chronic fatigue & immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS) and
myalgic encephalomyelitis (M.E.)
21 TOPICS BELOW. DON'T
MISS THE PINK ONES.
Readers' comments in
BLACK. My comments in TEAL.
1. READERS
WRITE
"I absolutely love your fibromyalgia tips! I was diagnosed
2 years ago at 18 years old, and it has worsened over time. I'm looking for any
tips I can get, and the fact that you have done research and tried them out
yourself is amazing. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with
the rest of us struggling to find information and support."
2.
BEST BED FOR FIBRO
"I am compelled to let readers know
about the wonderful bed I've been using for the last 10 years
as I see many posts about which beds are best. Before the bed we have now,
I have used the select comfort and tempurpedic foam beds and both were
excruciating! The select comfort to me was like sleeping on a giant
balloon. Yes, it conforms to your body but where your body pushes down
more on the bed it pushes that extra air to other places and gets rock hard. I
suffered w/ my select comfort for years, trying different settings, buying
different toppers, etc. till I finally gave up. After that I did tons of
research. I tried the tempurpedic foam mattress and oh did that one hurt.
The foam gives a nice even distribution of your body form but again it felt to
me it was pushing against me. Then finally I found out about the wonderful
"SAT bed," which I've used now for 10 years and here's what I
like about it:
- It is used in hospitals for
burn victims and also for patients who have had spinal surgeries because it has
ZERO pressure points.
- It has self adjusting
INDIVIDUAL air chamber technology - the individual chambers are only a few
inches wide and each is seald off so it does not get harder in certain
areas...in fact it adjusts the pressure evenly every time you move.
- You can adjust the firmness
indivdually on each side (w/ the Queen/King models).
- It has a thick, soft, lush new z
ealand lambs wool topper - this prevents bacteria/mold, gives great air
circulation, and keeps your body temp even whether hot or cold...plus it's so
soft/snuggly sometimes I lie on it w/out the sheets and it feels so soothing.
These lambs wool toppers are often recommended at FMS websites
- It is a great price compared to
other high end beds. We paid about $1500 for the CA King version w/ the upgraded
foam and lambs wool topper. This was 10 years ago so prices have gone up
but I think it's still well under $2K and they have a 90 day money back
guarantee
-You use your own box spring/frame so
don't need to buy a new frame like you do w/ many other beds
- They have a 20 year guarantee on the
air chambers and excellent customer service.
The last reason, the great customer
service, is what really compelled me to want to tell others about the bed.
We moved recently and I went through a time of severe flare in pain where I was
bedridden for several weeks. As a result somehow 2 of my air chambers developed
a slow leak. It could have been from the move or because I was sitting all
day in the bed and forgot to reset the air periodically as they recommend if you
are in it all day/night. Regardless, we called customer service, and the company
just sent us brand new air chambers for BOTH sides of the bed (eventhough only
my side had a problem). This is after we've owned the bed over 10
years.
Also wanted to mention that some of
the top Hilton Hotels are using the bed and have had many customers comment
about the comfort. I think they use them for Extreme Home Makeover too. I
can tell you that whenever I have to sleep away from home, I am quickly reminded
of just what a comfortable mattress it really is as I always wake up in severe
pain if I sleep in any other bed. Here is the link and there are good videos
about how it works plus you can read lots of testimonials. Many w/ FMS
have written in about it. http://www.naturalform.com/. I hope this info will help some of you get better sleep!" -

3. READERS' PRAYER
CORNER
FROM
DOM: Let's call these names in prayer to the Lord. Feel
free to write me with your prayer requests for the next newsletter: dombush@bellsouth.net.
Gloria
- "Mutiple health concerns<. MRI tomorrow (4/9) to
rule out MS. I am anxious. Sight in right eye diminishing. Mini strokes.
Most of all want to be able to praise God with all my heart. Thank
you."
Selma - "My FMS
(diagnosed 1998) progressed to neurological disease 4 years ago
with onset of optic neuritis and I have degraded significantly in 4 years. The
doctors say it is not MS. Most likely neuro lyme which mainstream medicine does
not believe in. I've been in agony for past 4 months around the clock on
the couch/floor. I totally stopped sleeping in December. Sleep meds are not
working (never had to take before). I have optic neuritis, numbness on left side
spreading to right, jerking all over, twitching all over, foot drag,
muscle weakness, shaky, no appetite, eye pain, burning, dizzy, difficult
to hold my headup, coordination, balance, brain foggy, head pressure, incredible
nerve irritation in my brain, depth perception and more. Every bit of me is
affected. I'm terrified of how sick I've become and where this is leading
t o. A few drugs/herbs set off this chain reaction in December. I was sick
before, but not like this. I continue to get worse. I do not know what
path to choose for healing. Do I try long term antibiotics for lyme disease when
both herbs and a few drugs seem like they set off a huge auto immune reaction in
my body? I'm so sick now I don't know how my body can handle that, but I
have to do something to stop this. Do I work with a classical homeopath
who has healed neuro disease in others? For 12 years I've exercised, eaten a
whole foods/organic wheat free diet, done herbs, massage etc, etc and my
disease has progressed to this incredibly frightening stage. I have a family I
need to be able to care for. I need prayers for healing, sleep, and guidance on
what path to pursue to stop and reverse this neurological
disease."
Linda - "I had
a test in my upper chest bone for bone cancer - it hurts!!!!!! Would you please
say a prayer for my bone marrow results - for no
cancer!! My health (mostly pains) have greatly increased the last few
years, and I sure don't need more stuff!"
Ineke - "Please
pray that the Lord would use this time, with the volcano
eruptions still continuing in Iceland, during which many thousands of
people are stranded and can not fly to their destinations, to woo and
draw people to Him, and to trust Him. That He would take care esspecially
of the elderly, those that are not well, and the children. That airport
pharmacies in the affected airports will not run empty. The news is that
the intensity of the eruption could indicate that this could turn into not just
days, but much longer. That international transportation of important items
such as medications will be resumed soon. All this undoubtedly will affect the
world economy. PLEASE PRAY ABOVE ALL THAT GOD WOULD WAKE PEOPLE UP
AND THAT THEY START SEARCHING FOR HIM."
Paul - "Going
to China on May 2 for heart treatments. Please pray for traveling safety
and for the treatments to help."
4. SEASONAL
F LU VACCINE INCREASES RISK OF H1N1
From a reader--
http://www.naturalnews.com/028538_seasonal_flu_shot_vaccines.html - "I specifically remember writing an article
here on NaturalNews, warning people that taking a seasonal flu shot
actually weakened your immune system and made you more susceptible
to H1N1 swine flu (http://www.naturalnews.com/027102_v...). This suggestion
earned me a highly accusatory email from a CDC employee who suggested that
warning people to avoid the swine flu vaccine shot was equivalent to "an act of
terrorism" and that all those who questioned vaccines should be arrested and
stopped from writing anything on the internet ever again. (Hilarious,
isn't it, how deeply the vaccine mythology drives these vaccine-pushing nut
jobs?) Fast forward six months (or so) and now we have a new scientific
paper published in one of the few remaining honest, independent medical journals
out there: BLoS Medicine. The title of this study? Check it out: Does
Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Increase the Risk of Illness with the 2009 A/H1N1
Pandemic Virus? Viboud C, Simonsen L (2010) Does Seasonal Influenza
Vaccination Increase the Risk of Illness with the 2009 A/H1N1 Pandemic Virus?
PLoS Med 7(4): e1000259. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.1000259 Care to
guess what the study found? In short, it found that people who received the
seasonal flu vaccine shot in 2008 were up to 274% more likely to be infected by
H1N1 swine flu than those who skipped the season flu shots. Season flu
vaccines have a 'counterproductive effect'."
5. MORE
INFRARED SAUNA DISCUSSION
"The statements about the risk of
overheating the internal organs came from an obscure medical paper. also, there
are NO scientific studies on the long-term, regular use of infrared saunas on
humans because they haven't been used in this manner for very long. there are
marketing claims, but they are not supported by any independent, long-term
studies. electromagnetic field radiation (EMF) from ANY source is a big concern
these day, and if scientists are concerned about the radiation emitting from
cell phones and microwave, you can be certain that radiation from a more
powerful source such as a sauna would be suspect. there ARE studies to show that
EMFs are dangerous, cell-disrupting, and even cancer-causing. the radiation
being emitted from an electric sauna is not only being emitted from the
heaters, but from the electrical wiring itself... one newsletter i read
recommends making the bedroom an EMF-free zone for better sleep and health, not
sleeping near cell phones, not using electric blankets, not sleeping near an
alarm clock, that our sleep would improve just by removing these sources of
exposure, so to choose to step into an electric sauna everyday or weekly seems
pretty risky to me. there are some foreign doctors that are using infrared to
treat various forms of cancer, so it clearly has a physiologic effect on the
cellular structure... not a risk i want to take... i'm trying to decrease
my exposure to EMF, not INCREASE it. if you step back and look at it, perhaps
caution is warranted... everyone has different health issues and risk tolerance,
and it is a personal choice."

RETROVIRUSES
From a reader--

UBC
Graduate Student Finds ‘Start/Stop Switch’ for
Retroviruses
2010-04-09
"A University of British Columbia
doctoral candidate has discovered a previously unknown mechanism for
silencing retroviruses, segments of genetic material that can lead
to fatal mutations in a cell’s DNA.
The findings,
published today in the journal Nature, could lead to new cancer treatments
that kill only tumor cells and leave healthy surrounding tissue
unharmed.
Danny Leung, a 27-year-old graduate student in the
laboratory of Asst. Prof. Matthew Lorincz in the Dept. of Medical
Genetics, UBC Faculty of Medicine, found that a protein called ESET is
crucial to preventing the activity of endogenous retroviruses in mouse
embryonic stem cells. Distant relatives of such retroviruses are more
active in the cells of testicular, breast and skin cancers in
humans.
If ESET can be blocked, retroviruses would become
dramatically more active, thus either killing the cancer cells hosting
them or flagging them as targets for the immune system.
Leung, who
was co-lead author with a graduate student at Kyoto University in Japan,
has devoted his studies at UBC to the growing field of epigenetics –
changes to the genome that do not involve changes to the underlying
genetic code. Such changes determine whether or not a gene is
expressed.
The common method for silencing certain genes is DNA
methylation, in which a chemical group attaches to the DNA structure. But
Leung and his collaborators at UBC and Kyoto University found that the
activity of ESET is far more potent than DNA methylation in silencing
retroviruses in embryonic stem cells of mice. This indicates an
independent parallel pathway of silencing the retroviruses.
Their
research has direct bearing on cancer treatments because cancer cells are
stem-like – they can differentiate into other types of cells. Also, for
unknown reasons, cancer cells have significantly less DNA methylation than
normal cells. So blocking ESET holds the promise of affecting only cancer
cells, allowing retroviruses to flourish to the detriment of their hosts.
Normal, differentiated cells, which still have DNA methylation to keep
retroviruses in check, would be unaffected.
“Inhibiting ESET may
affect just the cancer cells, allowing further expression of retroviruses,
which in turn would kill the cancer cells,” says Leung, who is in his
third year of graduate studies at UBC. His co-lead author on the paper,
Toshiyuki Matsui, is a student in the lab of Yoichi Shinkai at Kyoto
University."
FROM
DOM: I sent this article to my sister-in-law who has a Ph.D. in
virology, and here is what she said: "There are already drugs in use that alter DNA
methylation--many side effects. We'll see what these guys come up with.
We're always looking for new
leads." |

DISEASE

11. SULFITES
& CHRONIC ILLNESS
From a reader--
"Have any CFS, fibromyalgia
people ever inquired about sulfite, sulfur
intolerance?
I went through genetic
testing and i have 17 genetic mutations in what
is
called the "methyl cycle".
Basically i have the same mutations that a person with
autism would
demonstrate. I i were born today i would have autism. Fortunately
our
food supply was much cleaner and the
environment back then much less toxic.
(I am 60 yrs old)
It has been estimated that
20 percent of the population has these genetic
mutations
An interesting study would be are
these genetic mutations more prevalent in CFS
Fibromyalgia? I would imagine
so ...
Sulfites/sulfates build
up in my system and my body is not able to detox them
without
taking supplements and watching my
diet very carefully.They are neuro toxic,body toxic
sulfites/sulfates are everywhere
in foods even in many vegetables.
An outstanding resource is Rick
Williams book sulfates and chronic disease.
I use it as my diet bible.
Balsamic vinegar which i thought safe because it said
no sulfites added almost sent me
to the emergency room a few weeks ago.
It contains tons of natural
sulfites.
Here is a link to my doctors web site
( Dr. Jim Roberts). People with fibro might
want to not undergo the genetic
testing but just use the supplements that Dr.
Roberts suggests. He is an amazing
physician and humanitarian!
Sulfites and chronic disease
(Asthma,Allergy, Anaphalaxis, headache,hives,
He is a exceptionally sulfite
sensitive person. The book is about $24.00
This is a must own book for
everyone."
"I too am sulfite sensitive. The enzyme in the body tissues
that processes sulfites is called Sulfite Oxidase. This enzyme requires
certain nutrients in order to function correctly, otherwise the probability of a
reaction is high. These nutrients are: Vitamin B12, Zinc, Magnesium, Iron, and
Molybdenum. Vitamin B1, B6 & Folic Acid are depleted by excess sulfites so
you will need to supplement these also. If you take a daily
multi-vitamin/multi-mineral supplement, that should be enough for everything but
the zinc and B12. Those will require a separate supplement. I use an oral spray
Vitamin B12 (methylcobolamine - lacks the toxicity of cyanocobolamine) several
times a day and I also get the injections (can't absorb B12 in my gut due to
chronic gastrointestinal dysmotility and inflammation) of methylcobolamine.
Also, you will need to inform your doctors that most topical anasthetics have
unlabeled sulfites in them (carbocaine is safe).
Here are some links you
may find
interesting:

http://www.babyandkidallergies.com/sulfit
es.php
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/picrender.fcgi?artid=1307260&blobtype=pdf
(since this article was written, sulfites have been banned on salad bars, but
food manufacturers use sulfites on many foods, and some foods have naturally
occurring sulfites).
The general rule of thumb is that the less the food
is processed, the lower the sulfite content (usually). My own diet is restricted
by other issues (food allergies, etc.), so I won't get into too much detail. To
avoid sulfite reactions, I find that I need to avoid things with sulfites
clearly listed on the label, as well as things containing corn syrup, high
fructose corn syrup, corn starch, vinegar, lemon juice concentrate, citrates,
sorbates, etc. I try to keep the ingredient list as short as
possible."
12. OUR UNIQUE
RELATIONSHP WITH GOD
From a friend (Soundbites
#2515)--
OUR UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP WITH
GOD
"God
wants to have a relationship with you that is unlike His relationship with any
other being in all creation. In the book of Revelation, John writes that one day we will each receive form
God a name that remains a secret between Him and us throughout eternity.
C. L. Lewis writes, "What shall we take this secrecy to mean? Surely,
that each of the redeemed shall forever know and praise some one aspect of the
Divine beauty better than any other creature can. Why else were
individuals created, but that God, loving all infinitely, should love each
differently?…If all experienced God in the same way and returned Him an
identical worship, the song of the Church triumphant would have no symphony, it
would be like an orchestra in which all the instruments played the same
note."
My
grandmother said it better, I think. When anyone asked her which
of her six children she loved the most, she said love for your children doesn't
work that way. She said it's as if when each child is born, another little
room gets added to your heart. And no one else occupies that room.
It doesn't have to be bigger or better than any other room. It's just
theirs.
"In
my Father's house are many rooms," Jesus said. One of them was added on
when you became His child. That one is yours, and no one else can ever
occupy it. It is secret to you and Him. It's your own private
Sistine Chapel. It is furnished by every moment of intimacy and wonder and
togetherness shared by you and your Father.
In
the whole divine journey, no one else can walk your pathway. In the whole
cosmic choir, no one else can sing your
song."

14. ARE PARASITES FEEDING ON YOU?
From a
reader--
http://taoh4u.com/silentkillersthesecretworldo.htm--
Everybody
is Sick
"In North America today, almost everybody is
ill. If you look at your family, friends, and co-workers, and question them very
c arefully (because so many people deny there is anything wrong with them), you
will find that virtually everybody has a health challenge, many of which are
significant. How many of the people you know over the age of 45 are on blood
pressure medication or medication of some sort to balance their blood sugar,
perhaps even on insulin?
|
"We may be living
longer, but we are not living healthier" |
How many people do you know in
their 20s and 30s, who are suffering from chronic fatigue, and many of
them may not even know it because they think they are normal? They think
it's normal to have to go to bed at 8:30 p.m. every night, and it's normal
the sleep until 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon on Saturday just to get through
the weekend. How many people in their 40s and 50s that you know have
recently died of cancer? |
It's hard to imagine a situation that has
gotten to this kind of a degraded health potential in what we call the age of
technology, when we are supposed to have all the tools necessary to stay
healthy. In reality, the health of the North American population is
deteriorating. We may be living longer, but we are not living healthier, and the
quality of life for the average North American over the age of 45 has decreased
significantly just in the last 10 years.
So how has the situation gotten to this point?
Well, there are many factors involved, but one of the most significant is the
existence of parasites in the human body. Parasites do not only occur in Third
World countries. They are
in every country of the world."
FROM DOM:
Parasites are gross, but a reality. Check out Paracleanse. I'm going to try
it soon.
15. LIGHTNING
PROCESS
From Kathy cfsandme@hotmail.com--
"I wanted to let your readers know about the
Lightning Process that has been taking away all of the symptoms
of CFS and Fibromyalgia in the majority of the people who are doing this course
(some say 100% of people who take the course if you do it right). You may
have heard of it but if not it started in the UK and has finally arrived in
Canada and the U.S. due to it's high success rate. Many students have become
instructors because they are so excited and thankful for it. I have done a
lot of research on it and I am convinced that it works. The site that
seems to give the most information on it is www.lightningprocess.com/lightning-process-canada.aspx . In any case, please have your readers check it out and
do research on it. I have found a practitioner that comes to Maryland from the
UK to give the Lightning Process course. If 6 people get together she will give
the course to each of us for $1100 a piece. Her charge is $3000 if done
individually. If anyone is interested please contact me at cfsandme@hotmail.com (Kathy)."
FROM DOM:
Have reported in a past newsletter about the lightning process. Use Google

EARTHQUAKES
FROM DOM: So
many earthquakes lately: Haiti, Chile, Baja! Reminds me of
the big earthquake I was in
back in 1971 in Los Angeles, California. It struck at 6 a.m. I was
on the 7th floor of a dormitory at UCLA perched on a hillside. I can't
even begin to explain how terrifying it was to be in that swaying, twisting
building! We weren't sure what was happening! Pictures were falling
off the walls, objects in the room were shaking and falling. The noise of
the earth crunching - and the building twisting - was so loud it sounded like a
bomb. I knew a lady working as a telephone operator in a high-rise in
downtown L.A. - their office building was swaying 25 feet back and forth.
The ground shook for days with aftershocks. It was extremely
anxiety-producing! Later that week I was taking a class in the library of the
Hillel Center when an aftershock hit. Our professor, a reformed Jewish
rabbi, turned totally white with fear and asked if anyone in the room knew how
to pray! Books were falling off the shelves onto the floor.
Matthew 24:6-8 "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be
not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not
yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers
places. All these are the beginning of
sorrows."
17. "MY NAME

From Terri, author of www.fms- help.com/mnif.htm--
"Just wanted to let you know that I have a Facebook page with my
Fibromyalgia article on it. On Facebook, just search "Hi, My Name is

21. DOM'S
UPDATE
Weather here in
Florida is beautiful this spring! The azaleas have already come and
gone, but other flowers beginning to bloom, such as amaryllis. I've been
feeling great most days! Have not been sick since August 2009 (a miracle
for me, since I have battled CFIDS since 1987!)
A list of things I use to stay functional is at
www.fms- help.com/what.htm.
I have had a few
episodes of brain fog/crashing from excessive stress (usually from having to
ride in a car more than an hour - an odd neurological problem I've had ever
since I worked in toxic mold during 2004-2005 www.fms-
help.com/mold.htm.)
Musically, things
are really exciting! My school of music students are preparing for a
recital on April 30 www.fms-help.com/students.htm, and our church choir/orchestra
is
preparing a heartfelt patriotic musical production called "Homeland" for
June 6 . It will celebrate freedom, a concept dear to my
heart since my father www.fms-help.com/eulogy.htm came
from China and my mother's family came to the U.S. from the
Ukraine.
I have 100
Tips for Coping with Fibromyalgia and Insomnia at www.fms-
help.com/tips.htm and TONS of
FASCINATING INFO about FMS/CFIDS/M.E. on my homepage at www.fms-
help.com. If you
haven't visited recently, I invite you to take a look
around!
I am sorry
that I am
unable to answer most email. Writing the newsletter takes a lot of
time and mental energy in addition to my work and home responsibilities - I
know you understand! I do read try to everything readers send
me! Even though I've been writing this fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue
syndrome newsletter for 14 years now, there is still so much to say about this
mysterious affliction.
Oh, one more thing before
signing off. I am re-reading Joyce Meyer's books: "Help Me! I'm Stressed!" and "Help Me! I'm Worried!" Both are
wonderful! Those of us with FMS are prone to anxiety, and I have found
such peace (and learned new coping strategies) in these books! I
found them at a yard sale! (Thank you, Lord!)
