Why Fibromyalgia Can Kill You!
I have been treating fibromyalgia for about 8 years now and it has been an adventure to say the least. Unfortunately, many medical doctors don’t even think it exists. The average fibromyalgia patient that comes to see me has seen four other doctors. When I started eight years ago it was six.
The story is always the same. Pills, pills, pills. No results. Live with it.
When treating a fibromyalgia patient I’ve always tried to focus on what might be causing the widespread pain. I’ve found that about 80% of fibromyalgia patients have a particular type of misalignment in the spine that can be corrected. When the misalignment is corrected, most of the pain goes away.
I say most, but not all, because I have found that for about half the fibromyalgia patients, spinal adjusting is not enough. They need help with other problems as well. These problems can lead to other more serious diseases like Alzheimer’s, heart disease and cancer.
The problems have to do with inflammation (swelling) that comes from oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a term used to describe what happens when the body is overwhelmed by toxic foods and drugs. As the body tries to process these toxins, it gets swollen and damaged. The swelling is systemic, meaning that it happens all over. It affects the heart, brain, liver, kidneys and digestive tract just as much as the muscles and joints.
The all over pain of fibromyalgia is really a warning signal that more serious problems are going on.
The good news is that it is treatable. If the body is given the nutrients it needs, it will repair itself. The pain will go away and many other illnesses can be prevented.
How do you find out if you are one of the fibromyalgia patients that needs nutritional therapy ? You need to get your blood checked for signs of inflammation. These are the same tests your MD would use to look for cardiac inflammatory problems. Tests like CRP, homocysteine and fibrinogen.
In an MD’s office, they would treat the inflammation with drugs. In my office, I order the blood tests and then I treat the problems with nutrition. The side effects are non-existent, it works better and the body gets what it really needs.

Yes. The younger you get after this, the better. Unless you have a strange condition like a fracture, tumor or infection, this treatment works. You will be able to decide for yourself within the first two weeks. You will feel less pain, greater movement, increased activity, better sleep, etc. If you don’t, I am not your guy and I will help you find help.
If you are under 18, you will need to come in with a parent or guardian. I offer a free consultation, which we can talk about your situation and I can recoomend the treatment you need. You can get your life back. PKDC.
I have had Fibro for two years and yes it is pills, pills, pills, they don’t work so live with it.
However they have found the cause for a huge portion of my fibro pain. In 1985 I had Mono for a year, I never got over it. I continued to work until I passed out, woke up in the hospital with a 104.5 fever and passed out again. From that moment on I was always tired. The Ebsteen Bar virus began growing, increasing in volume to the point that I have the second highest amount of ebar virus recorded…the other guy is dead.
So it is not always about proper adjustments but that can’t hurt. Actually it can because I have cracks in my spine but for others I am sure it could help.
My body also cannot absorb vitamins….not even injections produce results. So yes I am on my own as there is no help and no hope. Great doctors that be can’t get it through their thick skulls that stuff exists that they cannot fix. Blessings to all who are in pain.
I am a 17 year old teenager and I have almost all of the symptoms listed in your article. My father also suffers from alot of these symptoms and saw alot of doctors who all did not give a diagnosis. The pain tends to stay in the stomach, hands, back, and legs. The odd time I even feel intense stabbing pains in my chest and heart area, I feel exhausted as soon as I wake up and all throughout the day. I am not very physically active at all ever since surgery I had to receive and will get a day I feel good and weeks I am exhausted or sick. It is really frustrating to complete your grade 12 year when dealing with these symptoms without any medication.
Saty focused on solutions. It is easy to give up hope. Do you still have Epstein Barr viruses in your body ? Make sure that these viruses are out.
Eat a very clean diet, no junk food. Get any adverse mechanical tension off your central nervous system. Check for inflammatory markers in your blood. C-reactive protein, Homocysteine, fibrinogen.
Stay tuned for more blogs on fibro.
I will be having seminars at my office on fibromyalgia/ chronic fatigue syndrome. The diagnostic criteria for the disease has changed as of July 2011, giving better understanding and better treatments. Saty tuned for more announcements and blogs.

I am a teenager and am approaching the 2 year mark from when my pain started.

Can you help?
