Fibromyalgia.gif

  • 3 to 6 million Americans have fibromyalgia (American College of Rheumatology/NWHIC)
  • 4 to 8 million with fibromyalgia (NWHIC)
  • 4 to 8 million adult cases of fibromyalgia in the US (NIH, The National Women’s Health Centre, 2004)
  • 90% of cases of fibromyalgia occur in women in the US (NIH, The National Women’s Health Centre, 2004)

  • Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition affecting 3-6 Million Americans.  Women are much more likely to suffer from this disease than men.  Unfortunately, the number of individuals affected by fibromyalgia is continuing to grow. 

    Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that causes constant discomfort especially during muscular contraction or physical touch.

    Fibromyalgia is the result of a physiological condition (health problem) that can not yet be identified by current scientific and medical testing.

     No specific underlying cause has been identified with the development of fibromyalgia.

    We do know this..

    Patients that we have treated with fibromyalgia have had the greatest responses (reversal) to the following treatments

    ·         Lymphatic pumping

    ·         Digestive restoration

    ·         Liver detoxification

    ·         Carbohydrate stabilization

    The patients that we have treated using these combined treatment techniques,  responded with a 65% subjective change in symptoms within the first 90 days.   100% of these patients experienced greater mobility reduced physical weight and restoration of energy and vitality.

    Hypothesis: (why does this work)

    The lymphatic system functions like your blood system (arteries).  However, rather than causing blood to flow through your system, it provides a similar network for toxins.  Lymphatic pumping is a technique to push toxins through your body so it can be excreted by your liver.   The chronic pain experienced by fibromyalgia patients seems to be consistently related to the build up of toxins within the muscle and surrounding tissue.   We come to this conclusion; when lymphatic pumping is combined with metabolism repair (liver detoxification, carbohydrate stabilization and digestive restoration), toxins are effectively removed from the body, leading to a resolution of pain, exhaustion and depression.

    Restoring proper digestion is absouletely necessary when resolving fibromyalgia.  

    Remember, Fibromyalgia is essentially a condition that is the result of concentrated toxins (trapped) in the muscle and surrounding tissue.

    Toxins (larger amino acids) enter the blood via the digestive track.  If the stomach, liver and pancreas are not adequately functioning, malabsorption disorders will occur.  As malabsorption persists, a greater number toxins can enter the body, causing progressive symptoms of fibromyalgia.  Individuals that have or have had: 

    Acid reflux
    Gall bladder issues
    Constipation
    IBS
    Bloating
    Gas
    Indigestion

    are much more likely to develop fibromyalgia.  Additionally, without addressing the underlying digestive issues associated with fibromyalgia, it is unlikely to resolve or recover from fibromyalgia.  

    Note:  The use of term TOXINS is a lay-term that is easier for a "non-medical professional" to understand.  In actuality, large amino acids are naturally absorbed in the intestinal track.  However, large proteins (amino acids) can be absorbed at a higher rate and frequency in individuals experiencing digestive issues.  Thus, resulting in a stressed detoxification processes leading to poor lymphatic function and liver dysfunction.

    The liver is responsible for over 50% of the bodies elimation of waste products (toxins).
    We have noted a significant reduction in response to fibromyalgia treatment when the liver is not properly addressed.  

    The liver is responsible for 2 detoxification processes.  When liver enzymes or communication hormones fail to properly function, the body cannot properly eliminate waste.   

    Urine tests help physicians determine what nutrients are needed by your liver so enzymes can be properly produced.
      

    Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia, once called fibrositis, is a condition affecting the muscles or joints that is often difficult to diagnose. It is one of a group of conditions with vague symptoms and may need to be distinguished from chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, Type 2 diabetes, depression, Lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, or various other conditions. Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome share many common characteristics, and may be misdiagnosed as each other, or both misdiagnosed as depression.

    Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. "Tender points" refers to tenderness that occurs in precise, localized areas, particularly in the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips. People with this syndrome may also experience sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, and other symptoms.1

    Researching symptoms of Fibromyalgia: Further information about the symptoms of Fibromyalgia is available including a list of symptoms of Fibromyalgia, other diseases that might have similar symptoms in differential diagnosis of Fibromyalgia, or alternatively return to research other symptoms in the symptom center.

    Misdiagnosis and Fibromyalgia: Research more detailed information about misdiagnosis of Fibromyalgia, failure to diagnose Fibromyalgia, underlying causes of Fibromyalgia (possibly misdiagnosed), or research misdiagnosis of other diseases

    Treatments for Fibromyalgia: Various information is available about treatments available for Fibromyalgia, current research about Fibromyalgia treatments, or research treatments for other diseases.

    Causes of Fibromyalgia: Research more detailed information about the causes of Fibromyalgia, other possibly hidden causes of Fibromyalgia, or other general information about Fibromyalgia.
