This paper outlines the in vivo interaction between
magnesium and fluoride, and offers a coherent, comprehensive
theory of the underlying biochemical cause of fibromyalgia and
chronic fatigue syndrome.

Abstract: Recent research suggests
that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS),
and Persian Gulf Syndrome (PGS) may respresent the effects of
dysfunctions involving the central and/or peripheral nervous
system, neuroendocrine system, neuromuscular system, immune
system, metabolism, or sleep patterns. Each systemic dysfunction
is accepted here as being central to these syndromes but not
causal. This two-part review introduces the theory that the
syndromes listed above represent finitely variable combinations
of multiple systemic dysfunctions which all share a common
underlying etiology at the subcellular level: magnesium
deficiency plus concomitant fluoride excess (MDFE). The theory is
introduced in Part I; detailed evidence which supports the theory
is presented in Part II. Treatment suggestions are listed at the
end of Part II through a call for clinical trials to test this
theory.
