I consider persons with fibromyalgia as human canaries whose oxygen enzymes are more easily injured than other people. They are more vulnerable to unrecognized allergies, sugar overload, excessive antibiotics, and anger, and have been poisoned by synthetic chemicals. Those human canaries are telling us something important about the shape of things to come. What injures their oxygen enzymes eventually will injure the oxygen enzymes of others, unless we find ways to protect the oxygen metabolism. Persistent muscle pain and weakness.
Oxygen deprivation causes muscle pain.
Oxygen deprivation in tissue causes fatigue and exhaustion. Oxygen deprivation in brain cells causes brain fog and dysfunction. Oxygen deprivation within the cells causes air hunger. The last item requires a special comment. Like other physicians, until some years ago I accepted the prevailing view that the body learns about the lack of oxygen through special oxygen sensors in the brain as well as in the walls of large blood vessels in the chest and neck.
