Improve Immune System

Fibromyalgia Symptoms

Ken Bock, M.D., in his excellent book "The Road To Immunity", has compared the immune system to a kettle. It can absorb and respond to multiple threats to our well being, but finally even the most vital immune system can reach its maximal functional level.

When additional immune system challenges such as injury, severe stress, or an infection occur, the already filled kettle can no longer respond. At this point, immune system dysfunction has begun.

There is a sequence of events that occur within your body which produce the symptoms and signs found in the fibromyalgia syndrome. The downward spiral takes you step by step through those events. The spiral begins with the onset of immune system overload as demonstrated in the immune kettle illustration. The end result is immune system dysfunction and the development of the fibromyalgia syndrome.


So why does one begin to develop the symptoms characteristic of fibromyalgia? The illustration of the downward spiral into fibromyalgia shows us the build-up of intracellular toxins and the cell damage that occurs as the immune system becomes overwhelmed and dysfunctional. One role of the immune system is to take damaged cells out of circulation, to repair cell membranes, to clean up cellular debris, and to help usher waste products out of the body.

The inability of the now dysfunctional immune system to fulfill these roles results in a build-up of toxins and an increased population of now toxic cells which produces a feeling of toxicity in the body. Toxic cells within muscles can produce myalgias (muscle pain). Muscle pain can cause the sleep disturbances which are characteristic of fibromyalgia. Therefore the cascading effect begins, all precipitated by the onset and consequences of immune system dysfunction.
