I agree with Dr Shungu’s vicious circle of effects, and the mystery of “which one started it”? But what if vasoconstriction (and the constriction of other vessels and nervous system signal carriers) is where this particular vicious circle begins, but the cause of this in the first place is external to this particular vicious circle? Eg as you say, toxins and dehydration. Starlanyl and others focusing on the myofascia, hypothesize that the ground substance becomes sticky from toxins and/or dehydration and starts to form “stuck” clumps of tissue at the level of the sarcomeres themselves. All the vessels that pass through the affected spot, are restricted.

The dehydration itself could be the result of the body trying to rid itself of toxins, I know my FM developed over the course of a couple of years of frustrating tendency to excessive urination that the doctors were unable to solve. I tried ever-increasing doses of electrolytes (I was athletic and did lots of exercise and used electrolytes anyway) but these just increased the urination.

2 frustrating decades later, hair mineral analysis testing showed I had high levels of cadmium. This toxin is very nasty because it tends to not show up in tests at all until the renal system is already saturated with deposits.

Don’t they realize, the brain is just a reflection of what is going on in the gut and colon! I have had CFS/MCS for over 20yrs and now know it was caused by having the drug FLAGYL, because I had a Gardia infection, which wiped out my good bacteria and I am working with Prof. Tom Borody, at the Centre for Digestive Diseases in Sydney, Australia. This man knows more than anyone I have ever been to,(he even had CFS ,so he really understands and got himself well with their treatment – A Feacal Microbal Transplant) Don’t all these doctors and researches realize, we have just had our good bacteria wiped out(which used to line our colon, and be protective barrier that stops toxins leaking into our organs and joints ), which in turn causes the aches and pains of FIBROMYALGIA. That is the real cause!!!!!!!!!!! It’s easier than they make out what is really wrong with us, it’s just the fixing it that is the problem. It all begins and ends in the GUT and COLON. Haven’t any of them read the GAPS Diet by Dr Natasha Campbell McBride or THE BODY ECOLOGY DIET by Donna Gates, it’s heals some CFS patients, but if it doesn’t (which was me) it’s because we have had to much damage done to our gut/colon but drugs/chemicals etc. I get so frustrated with all this research, they all want to make a pill, when it’s all about our GOOD BACTERIA, well, lack of it

The disease we have seems to downregulate NAD+ production, which leads to all kinds of problems creating ATP. One of the primary theories about CFS is that it is a failure of aerobic metabolism. Your muscles are stuck burning glucose anaerobically, and acid is a key byproduct of that.
