Dr. William Pridgen MD

Dr. Pridgen's research in a Phase 2 study has earned him FDA fast track for his Fibromyalgia blockbuster combo of an antiviral with a Cox-2 inhibitor. I am on the Pridgen Protocol for severe fibromyalgia. The protocol is based on the premise that a viral infection by Herpes Virus-1 of the vagal nerve is the root cause of fibromyalgia. At 16 weeks on the study relief in pain and energy levels was remarkable in his study. I highly recommend Dr. Pridgen. He takes insurance and Medicare. My visits with him have been so enlightening in relieving IBS and other symptoms while I am one month on his protocol. I would do whatever it takes to get to him whether it would be from across a continent or from across the country. VanElzekker, a Tuft Univ researcher has hypothesized that CFS/ME is caused by a viral infection of the vagal nerve. Dr. Pridgen is the trail blazer in study findings that HSV-1 (virus that causes fever blisters), in the vagal nerve is the root cause of fibromyalgia due to immune system defects in fibro patients that will not allow the virus to become latent (put to sleep) as it is in 90% of the population that carries HSV-1. Go see Dr. Pridgen you will not regret it. It is the first time I have had hope in my years of severe suffering with fibromyalgia. * This is from my perspective as an RN/BSN who worked in the field of Oncology/Biotech for years.
