Fibromyalgia, Ambrotose and Glyconutrients
Fibromyalgia is a recently recognized disorder that is regarded as a common cause of chronic musculoskeletal pain and fatigue. Many people with fibromyalgia exhibit CFS symptoms, including poor natural killer cell function, just as those with CFS often demonstrate the tender points of fibromyalgia. Common symptoms include pain, tenderness and stiffness in muscles, tendon insertions and soft tissue structures.
Criteria for diagnosis of fibromyalgia are widespread pain in combination with tenderness in 11 or more of the 18 specific tender points. Females are more likely to suffer fibromyalgia, and it may be induced or intensified by physical or mental stress.
People with fibromyalgia often have immune dysfunction resulting in a susceptibility to invasion by bacteria, fungi, parasites, and virus infections. Studies of people with fibromyalgia have shown that their natural killer cells and other key immune cells are not functional, and an accelerated form of programmed cell death occurs, and the immune cells can not kill invading organisms with their normal effectiveness. Glyconutrients, in Ambrotose, help the body fight off these invasions by supporting the immune system. Glyconutrients generate antioxidants and improve the functioning of the key immune cells, including macrophages and natural killer cells, which tend to be depressed in this illness.
People with fibromyalgia tend to be allergic and release too much histamine, and they tend to be very sensitive to environmental toxins. Glyconutrients, in Ambrotose may be helpful in mitigating symptoms in these diseases by protecting the brain from the effects of histamine and toxins.
For all people not just those with fibromyalgia, glyconutrients form the basic cellular language of all cells. Cells require adequate amounts of glyconutrients to allow cells to communicate 'correctly'. These nutrients are known to improve the immune system function, organ function and improve basic body physiology. If cells cannot communicate correctly they cannot function correctly or stay healthy. Glyconutrients in Ambrotose for cell communication are pivotal no matter what other supplements you decide to take.
