Hi Robb; Immunocal is useful for both IBD diseases and arthritic pain. It is a glutathione precursor. Drink it slowly on an empty stomach for best results.
What you are undergoing is oxidative stress. Fibromyalgia occurs because of low glutathione levels in the body. The organs, then the immune system tend to use the precursors up, sacrificing the digestive tract and the muscles and tissues. It's a survival thing. The muscles and tissues are sore because of continuing low-level oxidative stress (free radical damage) at those sites due to a chronic lack of GSH. Similarly many people with fibro also have IBD. Ozone in the context of fibromyalgia is metioned several times in the literature. Ozone doesn't stay ozone for many seconds in the body, but it does release very large amounts of oxygen, and that's of course good for you. But for that short burst the O3 also produces the desired high degree of oxidative stress. If the person has enough selenium and (bioavailable) cysteine in their system, what happens is a large increase in glutathione production over the next few days in response to the stress. Because systemic GSH has risen, there finally is enough at the myalgia sites as well. To continue, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi and enter "oxidative stress AND glutathione", or "CFS AND glutathione". By quenching the free radical damage you can take stock of what is actual disease and what is side effects due to oxidative stress. I know people who have got rid of IBD and fibro, a close relative of arthritis, with Immunocal. Also the digestive enzyme Protease will help the leaky gut symptoms by digesting food particles that are already in the bloodstream. Taking Vioxx, you have a 1-in-300 chance of heart attack or stroke. I hope you're taking ALL the b's and not just b-12....the b's must be balanced, and the b-2 and folic acid must be there to methylate homocysteine and avoid the stroke/heart attack. You may contact me directly for more details.
