Mayo Clinic Study: Weight a Factor in Fibromyalgia Symptoms

Feb. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) just learned that a new study from the Mayo Clinic and published in the medical journal “Arthritis Care & Research” states that one factor associated with fibromyalgia symptoms is a patient’s weight.

During the study, groups of patients with greater body mass indexes (BMI) reported more severe fibromyalgia-related symptoms and lower quality of life. Severely obese patients reported significantly higher pain scores than non-obese and overweight patients.

“We see an association between body mass index with symptom severity and quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia,” says study author Terry Oh, M.D., of Mayo Clinic’s Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.

Fibromyalgia may be linked to the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV).

When the Epstein Barr Virus invades the body, it can store dormant, sleeping copies of itself (imagine an army of virus terrorists) in one of the body’s nerves. When the virus is not active, the person is not sick. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says “Some viruses…can enter a state known as latency in which the virus is not being replicated. In the latent state, the virus does not cause disease.”

However, inactive or dormant copies sometimes “wake up” and assault the host. Anyone who has had a fever blister or cold sore experienced an awakening of the herpes virus (HSV-1). The oral herpes outbreak that results is comparable to viral stormtroopers making a surprise, hit-and-run attack on the face.

What can one do against the dormant Epstein Barr virus? The CBCD believes that Gene-Eden-VIR, developed by the biotechnology company polyDNA, is an impressive answer.

Although Gene-Eden-VIR is not a drug or a cure, the claims for Gene-Eden-VIR are not hype. The CBCD is not in the habit of making false or misleading recommendations.

In fact, as mentioned above, Gene-Eden-VIR is a natural remedy that boosts the immune system against the army of sleeping (latent) HSV viruses. The CBCD believes that Gene-Eden-VIR is a reliable product based on leading research, data and studies.

Most people may wonder whether Gene-Eden-VIR is an affordable, safe and effective EBV remedy.

In regard to affordability, Gene-Eden-VIR is sold online exclusively through the gene-eden.com website. A bottle costs $34.99 and includes a month’s supply of Gene-Eden-VIR.

Gene-Eden-VIR is one hundred percent safe. Imagine, no side effects at all!

Moreover, each bottle is GMP certified, which means that the product is keeping good manufacturing practices as outlined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Gene-Eden-VIR is highly effective against the dormant EBV virus. Each capsule contains a patented formula of five natural ingredients. These ingredients are listed on the Gene-Eden website.

Each ingredient was selected after extensive research through a scientific method developed by Dr. Hanan Polansky. The method is based on electronic and manual analysis of thousands of scientific and medical papers published on the antiviral nature of each ingredient.

The abstracts of these scientific papers are available on pubmed.gov where individuals can find real scientific evidence explaining exactly what works, why it works, and how it works.

“Gene-Eden combines several proven substances that work harmoniously to help boost the body’s own immune system or have other antiviral properties. The scientific data with regard to the immune enhancing and antiviral properties published in reputable sources on each individual compound in the Gene-Eden formula is impressive. Use of this product clearly has scientific merit based on published material.” – Dr. Norman Cohen, MD

The CBCD believes that the Gene-Eden-VIR website located at http://www.gene-eden.com can help individuals gather more information on the conditions caused by the Epstein Barr virus. It also provides resources for infected individuals that would like to reclaim their lives. It is the CBCD’s opinion that the Gene-Eden-VIR website can provide the information needed to help individuals with an EBV infection back on a path toward overall wellbeing.

The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD, http://www.cbcd.net) is a research center recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization. The mission of the CBCD is to advance the research on the biology of chronic diseases, and to accelerate the discovery of treatments for these diseases.

The CBCD published the “Purple” book entitled “Microcompetition with Foreign DNA and the Origin of Chronic Disease” written by Dr. Hanan Polansky. The book presents Dr. Polansky’s highly acclaimed scientific theory on the relationship between the DNA of latent (chronic) viruses and the onset of chronic diseases. Dr. Polansky’s book is available as a free download from the CBCD website.

We invite biologists, virologists, and scientists everywhere to download Dr. Polansky’s book here: http://cbcd.net/.
