Fibromyalgia, trigger points, subluxations
and rigor mortis
As we age, calcium
accumulates in the soft tissue. As a matter of fact, the age of an organism can be determined by the amount of this pathological calcification of
the soft tissues. In muscles cells, calcium is the trigger for contraction. As calcium enters the cell, the muscle cell contracts, and then as it is pumped out again, the muscle relaxes. If the pathological
calcium in a cell reaches a certain point, and the cell is no longer able to remove it, then the muscle cell will stay in a contracted position indefinitely. This is the definition of a trigger point, a pathologically contracted group of
muscle cells that cannot release. As we age, our muscles become tighter and tighter with more trigger points becoming evident. These trigger points can also pull the vertebra out of alignment causing subluxations and
compression of the spinal nerves. Fibromyalgia is the pathological accumulation of trigger points in a person whose age does not justify the calcification.
Rigor mortis is the ultimate expression of this muscle contraction. As all
ATP production stops in the cells at death, calcium floods into all the muscle
cells and causes global contractions.
Various mechanisms of how this happens
have been proposed. Some claim that the kidney's inability to effectively
remove phosphorous from the bloodstream results in a accumulation of acidic
phosphorous in the cells. The body then imports calcium into the cell to
maintain a proper ph. The beneficial results with Guanifenesin support
this claim.
Some suggest that magnesium deficiency
lowers ATP production so that the cells cannot rid themselves of the calcium
that naturally enters the cell due to concentration gradients (1:10,000)
Others suggest infections as a
cause. Certain infections cause hypercoagulation which decreases local
circulation, thereby lowering local oxygen levels. Lower oxygen levels
decreases ATP production and ATP is required to operate the pumps which keep
calcium from accumulating in the cell.
Regardless of the initial cause of
Fibromyalgia, the calcium must be removed to effect a recovery. For this
reason, EDTA chelation is an option since it is able to chelate pathological
calcium out of the body.
The 3 potential causes of Fibromyalgia may
also be addressed with chelation
1) Phosphorous accumulation due to kidney insufficiency:
EDTA chelation has been shown to
have a normalizing effect on kidney function bringing low creatine levels up and
high creatine levels down. This information can be found in the following
study: "The effect of EDTA chelation plus supportive multivitamin/trace
mineral supplementation upon renal function. A study in serum creatine. E.
W. McDonagh, D.O."
Also, the increase of metabolic potassium in
magnesium di-potassium EDTA helps displace cellular phosphorous.
2) Low ATP production due to low magnesium levels:
Magnesium is a difficult mineral to absorb
and not commonly found in adequate amounts in the standard American
diet. If magnesium based EDTA is used, then magnesium levels can be
restored.
3) Hypercoagulation due to infection:
Chelation is known to reduce hypercoagulation
due to its stimulating effects on prostacyclin and it's inhibitory effects on
thromboxane (the hormones which control the blood clotting cascade).
Thus magnesium based chelation not only
addresses the manifestations of fibromyalgia (the calcifications) but also the
potential causes of it.
