QuestionMy sister developed an internal vibration throughout her chest, head and extremities 5 weeks ago. It started subtly over a few days, she developed flu-live symptoms for a day or two, then it went full blown. She can't even function anymore. She was a very healthy, active, well balanced individual before this occurred. Doctors at the Mayo Clinic and several other hospitals attribute it to stress. She was NOT a stressed out person until this began. Now she can no longer drive, read, watch TV, sleep, talk on the phone. The vibrations are becoming painful and she is exhibiting signs of atrophy in all of her muscles. The slightest activity causes severe vibrations. She is under a naturopathic MD's care right now and he is stumped. Acupuncture, IV therapy and liver cleanses are causing the symptoms to worsen. I read your advise to another person suggesting a gluten free diet as well as a list of supplements. Her blood work is showing a sluggish liver, slightly elevated white count, very low cholesterol, lower than normal estrogen levels. An examination of her blood showed high levels of yeast and metabolic waste. I tested the air quality in her house and it shows high level of yeast. We suspect from her 5 dogs. Can you offer any additional insight. My sister is losing her mind over the pain of this condition. Depression has set in. An ultra sound of her abdomen showed nothing except a small cyst on her kidney. An MRI of her head and chest x-ray showed nothing. Please help. We are desperate.
AnswerThis is due a form of beriberi plus latex immune disorder due to severe vitamin B complex deficiency disorder coupled with severe omega-6 plant oil excess from poultry, chips, peanuts, flax, granola trail mix products coupled with latex toxicity from inhaled tire fumes from roadways and made worse from non-locally grown fruits and vegetables and out of season fruits and vegetables.
We see this in a lot of naturopathic patients, maybe from the supplements they sell or maybe they just see a lot of these types of patients who do not respond to naturopathy.
Our treatment is to avoid the above foods permanently, and add B-100 high potency B complex before each meal and 3000mg of omega-3 fish oil, both from a drug store to limit the latex present in most naturopathic product lines.
Of course she should consult her neurologist to be sure this is OK for her.
Most of our patients with this are better in 10-14 days but it takes 120 days to 180 days to balance the deficit, and she would need to remain on this program for quality of life reasons forever.
