150 Achieving pH Balance to Treat Specific Ailments
spread to all of her muscles and never let up. Around this time Doro-
thy’s sleep patterns changed. She went from sleeping seven hours at
night to sleeping most of the time. Besides muscle pain and fatigue,
Dorothy experienced memory loss and such extreme dizziness that she
often felt disoriented. Dorothy went out only once in the twelve months
before she fi nally got control over her illness. A close friend drove her
to Atlantic City on her birthday to gamble on the slot machines. The
exertion intensifi ed her pain for several days afterward. Dorothy went
to a rheumatologist who diagnosed fibromyalgia and prescribed
steroids.
Very little is known about fi bromyalgia. However, a hypothesis is
possible from the few facts that are understood. The debilitating pain
of this disease begins in muscles located near the bone joints. This sug-
gests that acidic wastes in the synovial fl uid surrounding the bone joints
cause infl ammation and injury in fi bromyalgia just as they do in arthri-
tis. This, plus the fact that individuals with fi bromyalgia experience
chemical changes in the nervous system, suggests that nerves damaged
by acid waste are the cause of fi bromyalgia. The systemic nature of
fi bromyalgia is additional evidence that the nervous system is the
injured organ in this disease, since the pain impulses travel along nerve
pathways that extend into every part of the body.
It was hard to help Dorothy because of her unwillingness to make
an effort to help herself. Being too ill to do much of anything, she
needed a treatment that took no effort, so she slept on a far infrared
sleeping pad. The heat produced by the electrical current goes through
a layer of carbon inside the pad, creating the red spectrum of light that
radiates deep inside the body and raises the internal temperature. This
melts the pain-causing sharp acidic crystals, which are then eliminated
through the kidneys, colon, or skin. After sleeping on an FIR pad for
three months, Dorothy woke up one day to fi nd that the pain in her
body had vanished and the lymph nodes on the inside of her legs, under
her arms, and on her neck were no longer sore to the touch. The expla-
nation was obvious from the huge open sores all over her body. They
were the means by which the toxic waste—dissolved by the far infrared
heat energy and transported by the lymph system to the glands under
the skin—were being eliminated from her body.
