You may disagree with me, but hear me out... While there is no commonly agreed upon fibromyalgia diet, there is a great deal of advice out there concerning what constitutes a good diet for people afflicted with fibromyalgia. This advice can come from both the people who suffer from the fibromyalgia and from doctors. Although dietary guidelines are a good start, the truth of the matter is that you shouldn't expect to find a "miracle cure" for fibromyalgia relief, because people with the syndrome suffer from so many different symptoms. A proper fibromyalgia diet is also subject to debate because no one knows what causes the disease, although theories abound. One theory is that[..]
Cure Fibromyalgia
The underlying cause of fibromyalgia is not yet clear. The joint and muscle aches, the muscle spasms, the tingling of the skin, the irritable bowel syndrome, the endless nights without sleep, the headaches and the list goes on — what causes these symptoms and can there be any way to understand, and therefore cure fibromyalgia? There are a number of theories regarding the cause of fibromyalgia, however none of them are overwhelming in their argument so as to stand out above the others. They range from chemical imbalances in the brain leading to overly sensitive pain receptors, impaired mood regulation that effects sleep and causes fatigue to reduced levels of essential hormones[..]

Fibromyalgia Specialists
Fibromyalgia specialists may be rheumatologists, neurologists, pain management specialists or acupuncture, massage, and hypnotic therapists. While a general practitioner may be the first to suspect fibromyalgia, doctors who diagnose the syndrome follow a set of guidelines created by the American College of Rheumatology in 1990. In order to make a final diagnosis of fibromyalgia, doctors examine a patient for tenderness or pain at 11 of 18 different points throughout the body. These are sometimes called tender points but fibromyalgia specialists use the term trigger points to refer to areas on the body where intense pain is felt, or when pressure applied to them can cause pain in[..]
Self Help For Fibromyalgia - What You Need To Know
Self help for fibromyalgia is out there and available. First off, let's start by defining fibromyalgia. Following a simplified line of thought, we can say that fibromyalgia is best characterized by chronic pain that is felt in the muscles, ligaments and tendons. The condition itself is related to arthritis and was once thought of as a psychological problem since laboratory tests found no indication that there was something wrong with individuals who had the symptoms of fibromyalgia. However, later studies have verified the existence of the condition. The fact of the matter is it was only 14 years ago when the American College of Rheumatology recognized fibromyalgia and legitimized it as[..]
The Relation Between Migraines and Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a very controversial disorder among the medical community, doctors having divergent opinions about the actual causes and risk factors of the disease. While some groups of medical scientists theorize that fibromyalgia is in fact a purely psychological disorder, its symptoms (generalized fatigue, muscular pain and stiffness, joint rigidity) being self-induced, other groups believe that the disorder has a clear medical background and its symptoms are of neurological cause. Although the debates continue upon this matter, a recent discovery suggests that fibromyalgia is in fact a neurological disorder. Apart from fatigue, muscular pain and joint stiffness, many patients with[..]

Stress is a common problem that all women encounter in their daily activities. From office to home, a woman is subjected to several situations that may result in developing stress. Stress is basically our body’s response to situations that trigger certain reactions in our body. As a result, when encountered with a particular situation, we need to make our own decisions and in some instances, even the process of decision-making itself is very stressful. If untreated, stress may have several effects on a woman’s body, some of which may have fatal consequences. This is why it is important for a woman to have an efficient means to counter stress. What Is Adrenal Fatigue? One of the[..]
Adrenal Fatigue – Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Adrenal fatigue is a label applied to a collection of nonspecific symptoms, such as body aches, fatigue, nervousness, sleep disturbances and digestive problems. The term often shows up in popular health books and on alternative medicine Web sites, but it isn't an accepted medical diagnosis. Causes of Adrenal Fatigue As mentioned earlier, sugar and refined carbohydrates are the main cause of adrenal fatigue. Sugar includes honey, maple syrup, fructose, dried fruit, fruit juice and just about anything that is sweet. Refined carbohydrates are grains that have been ground up or have had the bran removed. This include products like bread even whole wheat bread, noodles, corn chips, white[..]
Adrenal fatigue is one of the most common health issues today. And, it is largely unrecognized by the medical community which leads to a lot of frustration for those suffering from it. Symptoms can be so diverse as to confound physicians as well. And, it is a major starting point for most major illnesses. This article covers three of the causes and what you can do about it. Adrenal fatigue starts when the adrenals are over worked for a long period of time. Stress is the main contributing factor. Stress that affects the adrenal glands comes from many different factors. A diet rich in processed foods is perhaps the greatest stressors for the adrenal glands, at least in modern society.[..]
Fibromyalgia - A Curable Illness
Part 1 of a three part series on Fibromyalgia and CFS. I am a long time sufferer of Fibromyalgia and CFS. I defeated the disease and I am now a massage therapist and instructor of massage. In this series I will tell you how to overcome the disease. I believe that there are a number of avenues of treating Fibromyalgia that are not normally covered by doctors. Doctors are trained to manage an illness and not trained to CURE it. They are taught only to explore options that they were taught in medical school or through trade journals and sales people pedaling medicines. This leaves other options completely out of the office visit. There are many different approaches to treating/curing[..]
There are a couple of different kinds of muscle spasms in fibro, in my experience. There is the intense, knifing pain of a huge spasm in a big muscle that lasts for a few seconds and leaves an aching behind, and then there is the consistent spasm in a tiny muscle that just goes on and on and is more annoying than anything. Why is this happening? Well, based on my experience with curing fibromyalgia within my own body, I have a theory. It took me almost 6 years to cure fibromyalgia because I didn't know that certain emotional states I lived in were continuing to cause fibro as quickly as I healed it. But anyway, in about year 5, AFTER I started working with my mental processes too and[..]
Living with fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia has proven to be a very disabling disorder affecting up to 2 to 4% of the worlds population. Women seem to be much more affected than men. With all this in mind we must take note of the fact that the illness is most often misdiagnosed.

They are very prone to head aches, they have memory and concentration problems, feel dizzy , numbness and tingling , itching , have fluid retention, have abdominal cramps, diarrhea and several more symptoms. There are no complete lab tests that can tell for sure if[..]
I cured fibromyalgia within my own body. It took me almost 6 years, but only because I didn't know at the beginning what I knew at the end. Here's the short, simplified version. In my experience, fibromyalgia is caused mainly by 2 things: - All connective tissue shortens at rest. This happens with everyone, even children and babies. So, every time you sleep, sit, or stand, your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia get a little bit shorter. If you are not counteracting this daily with full-body stretching, well there's your first problem. - in fibromyalgia this shortening is made worse by the condition, and by an overactive nervous system and stress chemical buildup in the tissues. So,[..]
As far as I have ever found, there are no home remedies, such as cinnamon mixed with vinegar or a teaspoon of honey or anything along those lines that is an effective remedy for fibromyalgia. However, I would like to fashion some home remedies based on things I have done AT HOME that have been more effective for me at curing fibromyalgia than anything my doctor ever prescribed. Kitchen remedies for fibromyalgia: adopt coconut oil as part of your diet, take high-quality fish oil, eat more fiber, eat less carbohydrates, take probiotics or make your own yogurt or fermented vegetables that will contain probiotics. 90% of health starts in the gut and there is definitely a direct connection[..]

Anemia is Just One Thing that Causes Fatigue
One of the causes of fatigue is thought to be iron deficiency, often referred to as anemia or borderline anemia. Most people assume that if they are iron deficient they are anemic but it is not necessarily the case. There are actually three stages of deficiency, anemia being the last, and any of the three stages of deficiency may cause fatigue, but often it is not the iron deficiency which is the cause of fatigue. However being that it is the most common nutrient deficiency world-wide, people often believe it to be the cause of fatigue and treat their fatigue with supplemental iron. Symptoms of Anemia Typical symptoms of anemia as well as the other two stages of iron deficiency are[..]

Depression is a crippling disorder and a frightening one for the individual and his/her family. I recently read a book, The Closet Depressionist by Robert Sisti, which clearly conveys the demons that depression can conjure up. While I wouldn't recommend this book for casual reading or for the young, if you want a glimpse into depression, this will give it. Here is a tidbit from his poem, The Gift of Insomnia: "A beaten man, time feels still. Days are longer, crawl to my fill. Can't eat, can't sleep, wrinkles grow under my eyes. Daily emotional breakdowns are my demise. Fallen deeper onto this path, a life is gone." This depicts the overwhelming sense of despair that depression can[..]

Most people will say that you should live your life to the fullest, and so why not achieve a full body detox? Detox or detoxification is a process to eliminate all the harmful toxins that have accumulated inside the body. The body, mind and spirit go hand in hand, why? The body will not function (or even not exist) without the mind, and the spirit. It is a sad fact that many people have very little time to ponder about their spiritual aspect of life. They are too busy looking for ways to stay healthy, paying the bills, making more money, and meet work deadlines. This may be so, because people have a choice. They can freely choose how to live their lives, as they see it fit. If you want[..]

The Dangers Of Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy refers to the treatment of cancer by chemicals that kill cells, specifically cancer cells. Chemotherapy acts by killing cells that divide rapidly, one of the main properties of cancer cells. This means that it also harms cells that divide rapidly under normal circumstances: cells in the bone marrow, digestive tract and hair follicles; this results in the most common side-effects of chemotherapy-myelosuppression (decreased production of blood cells), mucositis (inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract) and alopecia (hair loss). Chemotherapy was first proposed as a treatment for cancer right after World War II, when research on mustard gas demonstrated that it has the[..]

For Stress, Anxiety, and Sleep Try L-Theanine
For two thousand years humans have used tea as a natural sedative. This does not really make any sense, because tea has a lot off caffeine. Caffeine, of course is a major stimulant. Scientist began to wonder how tea could have such a calming effect when it is loaded with caffeine. They began to believe that must be something in the tea that is counteracting the effect of caffeine. After much research they found that something is L-Theanine. L-Theanine is now extracted from tea and is available in health food stores worldwide, but most people still do not know about its great properties.
