Fibromyalgia Stage 2 Intensive Care Protocol Package

Retiring from his practice, Vickery devoted his time to research on this problem. He created a new testing method. He modified electro acupuncture (EAV) and combined it with applied kinesiology to create what is now known as The Vickery Method of Testing (TVM). TVM allowed Vickery to rapidly and accurately test hundreds of patients in his research, looking for the best way to get protein into the body. In the 1990's he finally came up with a particular blend of essential amino acids which when taken between meals, enabled the pancreas to manufacture the necessary enzymes needed to break down food.

This blend (Platinum Plus Essential Amino Acids, US Patent 6,203,820) worked consistently and over the long term, traits that other protein and amino acid supplements did not have. Vickery found that the pancreas points rebalanced and the spinal disks began to regenerate within ten to twelve hours of taking this amino acid blend. This was confirmed with Cat Scans and MRI’s.

During the time that Vickery was researching protein deficiency, fibromyalgia was also becoming a problem for many people, although it was still not recognized as a disease. Many of Vickery's patients had a host of symptoms matching those of what today is accepted as fibromyalgia. Using TVM Vickery found that not only did all these people have DDD and protein deficiency, but also they were hosts for various bacteria and viruses such as strep, staph, hepatitis and Epstein-Barr (to name a few). All had heavy metals such as lead and mercury that the liver could not flush, so they were recirculated and stored in the tissues. They were also deficient in organic sulfur. Many were also deficient in Vit.C, Vit.A, salt, iodine, and essential fatty acids. Vickery also found that most had a systemic fungal infection known as candida. He found that if these patients did not follow a strict candida diet for the first month, that the body would not heal itself of disease, even with the needed systemic protein.

If the candida diet was followed along with the Platinum Plus and the supplements, testing showed that the body rid itself of viruses and bacteria within the first three to four months. After that if the patient followed a reasonable diet and continued taking the Program supplements, the long-term damage done to the body from the disease would heal over a period of time. For instance, patients with serious liver malfunction from Hep.C feel significantly better in one month but they have to stay on the therapeutic dosage of Platinum Plus for a full year in order for the liver to completely heal. Vickery added extra sulfur and molybdenum to his blend in order to aid liver detoxification pathways to flush poisons, waste materials and heavy metals from the body, as well as address the sulfur deficiency he found in most people.

Fibromyalgia is still looked at mostly as a collection of various symptoms that doctors are still struggling to connect into a "cause." This is because the best definition for FM is a "gateway for disease." Protein deficiency in the body causes it to become open to all manner of diseases, deficiencies, and symptoms. Vickery's testing and research on fibromyalgia led him to the conclusion that there were five cornerstones of FM: 1) protein deficiency 2) DDD running the length of the spine 3) sulfur deficiency. 4) Heavy metal toxicity and 5) viral infection. When the protein deficiency is effectively addressed, DDD is reversed and other deficiencies, toxicity and infections can be taken care of. Further testing led Vickery to create a Fibromyalgia Program, which has successfully helped thousands of people of FM.

Fibromyalgia and Hypoglycemia - by Dr. Bruce Vickery
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is the common condition that I find in Fibromyalgia (FM) patients leading to the root cause of FM, protein deficiency. Hypoglycemia is a condition which has around 100 different symptoms associated with it, such as weakness, disorientation, headaches, slurred speech, tiredness, or nervousness. If blood sugar levels become too low, the result can be coma. Sadly enough, doctors will often end up misdiagnosing this simple problem because they fail to administer a six-hour glucose tolerance test or misinterpret the results. The outcome is that patients will sometimes be administered anti-depressants for low blood sugar! It's is a shame because this is where FM really starts, with pancreatic overload, leading to loss of digestive function and to protein deficiency in the body.

Fortunately, I do not have to administer expensive tests, I have developed a highly efficient and accurate form of applied kineseology, called the Vickery-Voll Test which allows me to test the three specific pancreas acupuncture points, protein(1), carbohydrate(2), and fat(3). If the number two point shows up, I know that carbohydrate metabolism is impaired, which is the defining attribute of hypoglycemia. This will happen when a person consumes too much sugar or refined carbohydrate. The pancreas will then work overtime secreting insulin to lower blood sugar levels and the adrenals will become stressed by producing high levels of adrenalin so that the liver will convert amino acids and fats to glucose to raise blood sugar back up again. In this process all three acupuncture points will eventually register impaired metabolism, but it is with protein deficiency that FM finally occurs. Meanwhile the thyroid gland is attempting to control the rate at which the blood sugar is utilized by the body, so it is working overtime also.

It's sort of like a car engine that overheats and then fails. The weakest link in this system will determine how the body fails. If the adrenals are the weakest point, clinical hypoglycemia will occur, if the pancreas fails, diabetes will follow, if the thyroid crashes, Hashimoto's Disease could happen, if the liver malfunctions, cirrhosis will develop. Other glands also become involved in the imbalance including the hypothalamus, the pituitary, the thyroid, and the sex glands. Digestion becomes impaired as the pancreas stops making the necessary digestive enzymes, and now the entire body becomes deficient in proteins, its structural and functional building blocks. Then the system becomes open to diseases of all kinds, the defining condition of FM.

If the pancreas does not have the necessary amino acids it will not make digestive enzymes or glucagons (which allows the liver to convert glycogen, a sort of stored sugar, into glucose), nor will the adrenals make adrenalin (which allows the liver to convert protein and fats to glucose for balanced blood sugar.) If the body cannot do these things blood sugars can never be properly balanced, and the glands will always be overworking to try and control an out of control situation. Two things are necessary:
1. a low-carbohydrate, no sugar diet to give the over worked glands a rest, and
2. a balanced blend of essential amino acids to start the system working properly again.

But don't make the mistake of thinking any amino acids will work, we already tried that, I had to develop a very specific blend of essential amino acids in the correct balance to one another. I want to make that very clear because if the amino acids are taken in the incorrect amounts or out of balance, you could just end up doing yourself more harm. All of my FM patients who have followed my FM program faithfully have gotten well.
Fibromyalgia and Back Pain - By Dr. Bruce Vickery
In one hundred per cent of our Fibromyalgia diagnoses, we have found a degenerating spine, from neck to tailbone. In many (but not all of) these cases back pain is also present. If there is no degenerative disk disease, there is no Fibromyalgia. In 1982 we discovered that cellular protein deficiency had a deleterious effect on the spine and by 1986 we had proved that Degenerative Disk Disease (DDD):
1. Caused back pain in many instances and,
2. Was the direct result of cellular protein deficiency!

The next step was to develop the supplement that would ensure protein delivery to the cells. Obviously, diet was not the answer because many of our patients ate plenty of protein. We then found out that the problem stemmed from digestive system malfunction. Nine out of ten people do not properly digest their food and therefore cannot utilize their proteins. So we went to work carefully developing an amino acid blend that would ensure that the body received the protein it needs to function properly, then we added sulfur to take care of the widespread sulfur deficiency we were finding in most of our patients.

In order to find the connection between DDD and protein deficiency I had to develop a new method of testing. Using applied kineseology combined with the Voll electro acupuncture method (EAV), I came up with the Vickery-Voll Test (vibrational resonance testing), which uses energetic frequencies in order to locate and identify disease states in the body. Using this same testing method we determined that it took around 10-12 hours for the degenerated spinal disks to begin rebuilding when the patient began taking the Platinum Plus Amino Acid blend.

 
Fibromyalgia and Viral Infections - by Dr. Bruce Vickery 
I told you that viral infections appear to form the symptomatology for the condition Fibromyalgia (FM). In fact I have never seen a single case that did not have at least one virus attacking some part of the body. I also told you that Degenerative Disk Disease (DDD) accompanies FM. It is this diagnosis of DDD that helps us locate the area of the viruses. Wherever the spinal disks have degenerated to the point that they affect the nerves around them is the area where viruses seem to congregate. For instance, diabetic neuropathy patients with bilateral sciatic nerve and lower body pain fairly consistently give a positive reading for lupus in that same area of the body. Doctors today are still undecided as to whether Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFM) is a part of FM or not. My experience with FM patients is that the adrenals are always affected and that this is an area where viruses will attack. A virus that we often find in this area is Epstein-Barr, which is also associated with CFM. Unfortunately we cannot test for all 600 known viruses but we do test for many, including Hepatitis A, B, and C, herpes (zoster and simplex), Coxsackie, and cytomegalovirus, to name a few.

Other infections include: bacterial, yeast/fungus, parasites, and toxic metals. When the body has a protein/sulfur deficiency it cannot defend itself from infections because it doesn¹t have the raw materials (amino acids) to make the proper nutrients (such as immune system proteins) it needs to keep the body safe from invaders. Bacterial infestations of Staph and Strep show up in many of my protein deficient patients, as well as intestinal parasites like lamblia and Coxsackie. In FM we often find bacterial infections even in the lymph nodes, causing a painful condition known as lymphadenitis. In this condition bacteria, which are usually flushed out by the lymph system, become trapped and the white cells that congregate to kill the infection cause pus to accumulate in the nodes, which, if the bacteria are unresponsive to antibiotics, doctors will sometimes have to surgically drain. Time and time again, however, conditions that prove resistant to antibiotics clear up with the Fibromyalgia Intensive Care Protocol.

Protein deficiency will allow yeast or fungal infections to begin to cause problems all over the body, showing up as rashes, constipation, poor concentration, and sinusitis. It is my observation that many autoimmune conditions such as, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Fibromyalgia occur as a result of chronic infections, which the body is not equipped to control. Overwhelmed, the body becomes confused and begins to produce T-cells that are programmed to attack live healthy cells, In other words without the necessary protein to act as our body¹s general system manager, chaos ensues and we respond with an allergic reaction to ourselves!

This situation is made even worse by xenotoxins such as DDT, hydrocarbons, PCP, sodium fluoride, and metals like aluminum, cadmium, lead, and mercury. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen infections gather around teeth with mercury fillings (or root canals.)I have found consistently that Platinum Plus Amino Acids will remove toxic metals from the system faster and more efficiently than all the expensive chelation treatments, simply by activating the body¹s defense systems.

Yeast is a particularly nasty contributor to a weakened immune system. Often doctors will only recognize vaginal or intestinal yeast, trying to solve the problems with expensive creams, pills, or intestinal washes. These treatments provide at best temporary fixes but do not cure a condition that if allowed to follow its course could well end in death. Research into yeast infections shows that it produces over 79 different toxins in the body, which cause over 40 different symptoms. Bad yeast infections can completely shut down the thyroid, resulting in Hashimoto¹s Disease. When yeast infections become systemic there is no way that the body can fight other infections such as hepatitis or Staph.

A yeast diet is imperative, but many are not effective because they do not understand that in order for equilibrium to be restored to the body a very strict, super low-carb diet must be combined with proper amino acid and vitamin-mineral supplementation. My experience with thousands of yeast patients is that if this protocol is not followed, the body will not heal. When the protocol is strictly adhered to we find that even cases such as antibiotic resistant Lymes Disease will disappear. Once the body has been brought back into balance people can revert to a more normal diet. It has been my experience that all FM patients also have a yeast overgrowth.
