Fibromyalgia & the Stealth Pathogen Protocol - That's the Spot Acupuncture LLC

A Comprehensive Approach to Chronic Pain and Fatigue

Fibromyalgia is a complex condition involving widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and cognitive dysfunction. While many treatments exist, few provide lasting relief. At The People’s Pain Clinic, we approach fibromyalgia from two directions:

Acupuncture and herbal medicine to manage pain, improve sleep, and restore vitality
A carefully selected Stealth Pathogen Protocol that targets hidden infections which may be driving symptoms in some individuals

Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine for Pain

Acupuncture is a clinically supported method for fibromyalgia symptom management. It works by:

Stimulating the release of natural painkillers like endorphins
Regulating the nervous system and reducing inflammation
Improving sleep and reducing fatigue

In clinic, many of my fibromyalgia patients report pain relief after just a few sessions. I use a combination of gentle acupuncture, topical herbal formulas, and—for appropriate patients—internal herbs to address the underlying imbalance.

Chinese herbal medicine can be tailored to your presentation (e.g., Blood deficiency, Liver Qi stagnation, Dampness, etc.) to help with symptoms such as:

Muscle stiffness or soreness
Chronic fatigue
Poor sleep or digestive distress

The Stealth Pathogen Protocol

Some cases of fibromyalgia may be driven by chronic or latent pathogenic infections, especially in patients with a history of travel or work in high-exposure environments (like the restaurant idustry). These “stealth pathogens”—viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites—can linger silently in the body, affecting the immune system and triggering systemic inflammation and fatigue.

This is an exclusive program only offered to patients who are in generally good health and meet specific criteria. It is not appropriate for everyone. If you’re a good fit, you’ll be guided through the full cleanse under supervision.

How It Works

The protocol is divided into two phases:

Phase 1: Pathogen Elimination (Days 1–15)

We begin by flushing out stealth pathogens using strong, but safe, botanicals:

Artemisinin Forte: Nobel-Prize-winning herb for heat-clearing and parasite detox
Wormwood Complex: Stimulates digestion and clears the gut of pathogens
Myrrh Forte: Antimicrobial support for lungs and digestion
Viranon: Immune support and antiviral activity
Andrographis Complex: Anti-inflammatory and immune-adaptogenic
Garlic Forte: Cardiovascular and immune support

This phase is repeated 3–4 times depending on your response.

No Herxheimer reaction expected. These herbs are dosed and sequenced in a way that prevents dramatic die-off symptoms, while still being effective.

Phase 2: Immune System Boost

Once we’ve cleared the pathogens, we shift to strengthening the immune system to ensure your body is ready to maintain long-term balance.

Huang Qi (Astragalus): Tonifies Qi and strengthens immune defense
Echinacea: Clears lingering toxins and boosts white blood cell response

During this stage, we monitor how your body feels. If symptoms reappear, it may indicate that another cycle is needed.

Who Is This For?

This protocol is appropriate for patients who:

Have fibromyalgia with persistent fatigue and immune dysfunction
Are in good health otherwise (especially heart, liver, and kidney function)
Have potential exposure risks (travel, food poisoning, past infections)
Are committed to a multi-week program and follow-up care
