Fibromyalgia and Toxins; CFS and Toxins

When it comes to the issue of Fibromyalgia and toxins -or- CFS and toxins, we (mankind) do not know what we’re doing, but there is clear indication that toxins do play major roles in whether you get sick with this type of illness or not. Toxins may be a silent contributor to your getting sick.

For other people, toxin exposure is an outright known problem because they are forced to deal with full blown cases of environmental illness in addition to all of the other symptoms of Fibromyalgia and CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).

Take a quick look at the video below which features Susan Shaw, an internationally recognized marine toxicologist, author and explorer. She is specifically talking about toxins in the water from the Gulf Oil spill. This is a frightening reality that we will be dealing with for years to come! Then continue on to the last part of this blog post for the further discussion of Fibromyalgia and CFS, plus another shocking video, which carries an eerie warning.

Susan Shaw, an internationally recognized marine toxicologist, author and explorer, shows evidence the toxic Gulf of Mexico oil slick is being kept off of beaches only at devastating cost to the health of the deep sea.

Let me give you an example of a case of Fibromyalgia and toxins and how the toxins can hurt you…

Imagine you’re surviving your first semester in college -or- your first month at a tough, new job. You’re a bit run down, but pumped and excited to make a go of your new venture. While you’re moving through your day quickly, you grab a fish sandwich, which has been effectively poisoned because it includes these types of toxins from the Gulf oil spill that Susan Shaw is talking about. Eat food with them and Wa-la! The toxins have found a route into your body and now it doesn’t know what to do with them. Often they aren’t easily eliminated as waste and instead get deposited in your tissues. Then that means the funtionality and health of your body tissues (e.g. muscles) becomes a problem => => Enter Fibromyalgia.

Let’s look at another example. This time it’s CFS and toxins:

You’re going along and Wham! Your body is showing signs of having “caught” a virus. Maybe a major one, maybe only a small one. The point is your immune system takes a hit and responds to fight off the invading culprit and virus. While you are recovering (a day? a week? a month? 6 months?), you eat fish that has been polluted from the Gulf waters and oil spill. By eating the food, you ingest the toxins and now they are essentially a part of you. In turn, your immune system becomes that much more challenged. It shows signs of confusion. (e.g. autoimmune illness?) Possibly, it begins to underperform and be dysfunctional in lots of ways. Your health gets worse and worse. It seems like you will never get back on track… .

Now these are two easy examples of how you could ingest toxic poisons that hurt your health. Study the video. Listen to Susan Shaw describe the life cycle of fish and plankton. I don’t see how you can avoid this danger if you eat these fish.

What you do about this is up to you. Avoid the fish if you can, but by all means, keep your bodily systems as clean and healthy as possible. Neither the subject of Fibromyalgia and toxins or CFS and toxins is one you want to tackle and then have to live with the aftermath. The plain and simple truth is that toxins do not make good companions to people who are already struggling to get well and stay well.

As a last but powerful example, read this article about the fishermen helping with the cleanup getting sick! Plus there’s a revealing video at the end of it, too.

This is a frightening situation for everyone. Remember the old addage: forewarned is forearmed.
