Hi Monica

Here are a few remedies to help you correct your health.

Tips to help the healing process.


Quick Action Plan for Fibromyalgia


1. A healthy, whole foods diet is an important part of any fibromyaglia treatment program. Emphasize organic foods, especially fresh, organic vegetables, and drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day. For even more benefits, consider adopting a vegetarian diet, which has been shown to significantly reduce fibromyalgia symptoms.

2. Essential nutrients to help treat fibromyalgia include vitamin C, vitamin E, niacinimide (vitamin B3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA-an essential fatty acid), magnesium, selenium, zinc, and the lipotrophic factors inositol, methionine, and phosphatidyl choline. The nutritional supplements cetyl myristoleate and SAMe are also highly beneficial, as it the Meyers Cocktail, which must be administered by a trained health care practitioner.

3. Herbal remedies for fibromyalgia include cayenne and chamomile. An herbal combination of tinctures of black cohosh, celery, dandelion, devil`s claw, Echinacea, and licorice in equal parts, can also be helpful.

4. Homeopathic remedies for fibromyalgia include Arnica, Bryonia, and Rhus. Tox.

5. Various bodywork therapies, such as Massage, Acupressure, Bowen Therapy, Feldenkrais, myotherapy, Rolfing, Shiatsu, Therapeutic Touch, and Trigger Point Therapy, can provide significant relief of fibromyalgia pain and speed healing.

6. Mind/body medicine therapies such as biofeedback, guided imagery and visualization, hypnotherapy, and meditation, can help relieve chronic stress, thereby soothing muscle tension and reducing pain

Conventional physicians treat fibromyalgia primarily through the use of painkiller medications. Such an approach fails to address the multiple causes of fibromyalgia, and also carries with it the risk of serious side effects. In addition, this symptom care approach is typical of conventional medicine`s failure to properly understand chronic health conditions such as fibromyalgia, which explains why it so often fails to successfully treat such conditions. Practitioners of alternative medicine, on the other hand, focus their treatment approaches on the multiple factors involved in fibromyalgia in order to eliminate them, while simultaneously stimulating the body`s ability to repair itself. What follows is an overview of some of the most common therapies they employ in order to achieve those goals.

I believe you can heal yourself, but it will take some committment.
The answers are out there, so keep searching.

Best of health to you.

All the natural remedies people suggested are a great start. You also have to keep in mind if you have any mental illnesses you need to keep them completely managed in whatever way you need to. Stress is a major factor in how you feel. Also keep in mind that sleep is essential. Don't get in the cycle of you didn't sleep so you hurt so now you can't sleep and now you hurt more etc etc. It's hard to stop that once it starts. Personally I believe above all you have to keep in mind life isn't over. It's just changed. I was diagnosed at 16 after suffering since 14. The doctor who diagnosed me made it out like I might as well kill myself then and there because I was NEVER going to do anything normal ever again. It's not true. If you keep yourself as healthy as you can there's no reason you can't live your life with only reasonable and small limitations. :) Good luck in all you do!

I have fibro. I have been taking Guaifenesin for it for over eight yrs. It has helped me a lot. You need to research it before taking it as there is a certain protocol that must be followed for it to work right. It is not a cure but it helps tremendously. First get this book:
