In earlier newsletters I discussed how arthritis medications called NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) are likely responsible for over 30,000 preventable deaths a year. Now, new research shows that NSAIDs also more than double the risk of miscarriages when they are taken during pregnancy.

In our article on arthritis, we talked about a mix of nutrients that can dramatically decrease arthritis pain over six weeks. One of these is a simple and cheap nutrient called MSM. This sulfur-containing compound helps supply the sulfur needed for the proteins that heal tissues. Another recent study showed that MSM also suppresses inflammation and the inflammatory molecules (cytokines) that cause inflammation. Now a new study shows that MSM also increases the critical antioxidant glutathione. Many people theorize that glutathione deficiency is one of the key common underlying problems that causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

I don't recommend them, but a new study shows they ARE more effective than placebo. I think with leeches on one side and deadly medications on the other, I'll go with the antibiotics, fish oil, and herbals. ;-)

Although it is getting fairly obvious that infections play a role in CFS/FMS, standard medicine is just starting to become aware of the role of infections in rheumatoid arthritis—despite Holistic Physicians having used antibiotics effectively for rheumatoid arthritis for over 30 years. In fact, research in 1949, at the International Congress on Rheumatic Diseases, suggested a possible relationship between mycoplasma infection and joint disease. Thomas McPherson Brown, M.D. and his colleagues at the National Institutes of Health reported the following year that rheumatoid arthritis may be caused by an immunologic reaction caused by infections.

Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) - A Common Cause of CFS & Fibromyalgia

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a common trigger for CFS and Fibromyalgia (CFS/FMS). Sleep Apnea is fairly well known. We are now learning about a different form of SDB called Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS). UARS almost exactly mimics CFS/FMS, is very addressable, and can be picked up on special testing. If you snore at night, you may have UARS or sleep apnea. Tape yourself one night to see if you snore. (Don't count on your husband to tell you. Most of us have a better sense of survival than that!)
