fibromyalgia

This is from a friend of mine.Any ideas?

"My daughter is on the hcg diet under a doctor's care and is on about 700 or 900 calories, I don't remember which. Here is the thing though. She suffers terribly from what has been diagnosed as fibromyalgia. In terrible pain a lot of the time yet still has to go to work every day and care for her family. Fortunately her husband does a lot of the housework. After being on the hcg diet for two weeks she was free from pain and even was moving furniture around to clean (moved the sofa herself--no pain). Evidently you go off the diet after a while and then go back on again. I am not familiar with the schedule. She stopped the hcg and added eggs, oatmeal and beans to her diet. Terrible pain started up again. I think the diet is dangerous and certainly not high enough in calories for a nurse who needs a strong body and a good brain but I can't argue with her because she was so happy to be pain free. She added in eggs everyday but on the diet was eating maybe one or two a week with no ill consequences. She was wondering if the lectin in the beans was causing the fibromyalgia symptoms. If anyone has any ideas about this I would appreciate his opinion."
