Is this a reason for the varying results of F.S.M. from person to person? , and indeed, a key factor in the body’s inability to heal itself in the first instance. I put to you that the damage to the mitochondria and it’s resultant reduced out-put must also be addressed simultaneously with F.S.M therapy which should at least reduce the exterior variables of results as opposed to using F.S.M alone. So how does such a scenario come about that reduces critical production of the bodies energy (ATP). As highlighted earlier, we can work with or against the inbuilt intelligence of the body as it strives to maintain or recover homeostasis (all systems working fit for purpose). At times of sickness/trauma most people apply a positive approach, however while IN a state of good health the human takes things for granted, assuming good health is something that remains with no input required to maintain the status quo. Basics, such as quality sleep, hydration ,sufficient exercise ,recreation, are examples of some ways that the body requires us to work with, and not against it. In the case of ATP, which delivers the necessary energy to carry out this task of maintaining full health it is the area of nutrition which we can, and most defiantly do, work against the body’s intelligence and seriously handicapping the ATP process. A little biology if you please, the intra cellular is protected and regulated by a membrane substantially constructed of essential fatty acids (EFA). These EFA’s help remove waste product from within, and allow into the cell, its requirements to function, and in the correct amounts. These EFA’S are also a key board, communicating with other cells further down line, requesting the repair process, and the production of new cells, if regulation or communication is disrupted, then chaos prevails ,harmful chemical build up within the cell can lead to mitochondrial poisoning, and as stated earlier, an inhibition to the body’s ability to repair itself. How does this happen?. If the diet is firstly deficient in these EFA’s, and replaced by trans fats, from processed, fried foods etc, then the good EFA’s are stripped away from the cell membrane. Outside intelligence tries to rectify the problem like prescribing calcium channel blockers amongst others. To work with the intelligence of the body the repairing of the cell membrane so to allow the body reclaim its role of SELF HEALING might be a more rewarding intervention, and certainly one that carries no side effect risks. Of course at advance stages medication can buy the necessary time to bring the problem back from an immediate dangerous threat A poisoned mitochondria cannot be boosted to 500% of its healthy potential, as you cannot multiply what’s not there in the first place. Highlighting this math error allows for investigating how to return the mitochondria to a 100% healthy state. F.S.M is in use by leading medical health care professionals in the U.S.A, years on, tutor’s are still training therapists at the National Training Centre, I am delighted to have it to offer, alongside the repairing of the cell membrane, in the knowledge that I am working with the inbuilt intelligence of the body. A poisoned Mitochondria, unresolved is without doubt going to inhibit any interventions in the quest to heal I have endeavoured to deal with an overview of this little known therapy in Ireland, and have chosen not to repeat the general information that is out there on the subject, Do, please feel invited to contact me if you wish to explore further, any curiosities on this therapy.
