So I'm just curious because I want to offer information about NB to a group of people I know who have varying degrees of AF, CF, Fibro - and does NB help all those?

My story is very similar, SB. I don't quite fit the bill for fibromyalgia anymore, but my muscles are constantly sore and achy- just enough to be annoying.

I was doing really well for about a month and a half and now I've crashed very badly over the past two days. I feel almost back to square one with the fatigue, nausea, dizziness. It's so discouraging because I really felt like I was climbing out of the woods. I'm hoping that this is just my body eliminating some metals, or some pathogenic die off.

From all the research I've done, I've come to understand that all diseases stem from heavy metals and/or pathogenic bacteria/viruses.

I just sent my hair sample in for a retest. I'm anxious to see what the results are, but frustrated because it takes so darn long for them to come back.

I watched a video the other day about CFS/ME and it showed this poor boy of 16 years confined to his bed and being fed through a tube in his stomach. To be honest, it scared the hell out of me. So much propaganda out there claiming that CFS/ME cannot be cured and that people who have it usually die 20 years younger than they should.

I try to stay away from that kind of stuff, but when doing research it's impossible not to come across it every now and then. But I keep reminding myself that these are people who go alone with conventional drugs and are unfortunately not as enlightened as we are.

On the other hand, I have read success stories of people who have actually recovered.

It's so difficult to draw the line with all these diagnoses...

And besides big or long stress which could really start AF I always seen infections underlying CFS. I've read somewhere (don't remember where) infections especially chronic ones could "help" Cooper acumulate in the body . Maybe immunity use a lot of zinc so Cooper can take zincs place.

My case have all of these; infections (parasitic bacterial viruses) big long job stress, high carbs diet. Indeed many symptoms overlap but maybe viral is the thing that most Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome people have.

In my country AF and Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome are not recognized at all just as psychiatric disautonomia or depression-anxiety couple. Just as a trivia the only doctors that recognized I have internal problems were 2 psychiatrists !!! who told me I should continue to investigate the real underlying causes of my condition inspite the fact that GP and many gastro send me to psychiatrist. Not saying stress did not exist but reductionism is not efficient for us. One of the psychiatrist was able by reading the tests results and checking me that I have jaundice after a treatment. 3 gastro and GP were telling me it's my imagination. I could be dead now
