fibromyalgia

Working with Fibromyalgia  

by Phil Steinberg (revised August 2008)

Fibromyalgia  is  the  name  that  has  been  given  for  a  rather  complex  malady,  mostly defined  by  chronic  pain  within  the  muscular,  ligamental  &  other  soft  tissue  structures. There  is  no  known  single  cause;  but  rather  most  likely  a  myriad  of different  causes including:  long  tern  environmental  toxin  exposure  with  compromised  liver  function,  a variety  of  different  viruses,  hypothyroidism  and  adrenal  Fatigue  or  exhaustion,   and severe  mental/emotional  stressors  with  associated  depression.  In  addition,  it  has  been found   that   many   fibromyalgia   sufferers   are   severely   magnesium   and/or   B-vitamin deficient and have elevated copper & homocysteine levels.
Without  performing  various  diagnostic  methods,  it  can  be  difficult  to  assess  what  the underlying causes may be.  Many chiropractors and other health practitioners will choose hair  analysis,  saliva,  urine,  stool  & blood tests,  while  others  may rely  on muscle reflex testing  techniques  such  as  CRA  or  MRT  to  determine  what  approach  will  be  most appropriate.  Use of a simple  Symptom Survey can also provide  accurate information on specific physiological imbalances.

Starting  with the  21  day  Standard  Process  Purification  Program  will  in most  cases greatly relieve many of the symptoms and can help set the patient on the path to a better diet & healthier lifestyle. After the 3 week program an assessment may then be made as to  what  products  would  then  be  most  appropriate  based  on  the  results  of the  21  day Program.

Though diagnostic analysis is preferred, there are general protocols that one might use to help alleviate the pain and discomfort, as well as the oft times chronic fatigue associated with  fibromyalgia.  These  protocols  might  be  utilized  prior  to  or  after  completing  the purification program.

Following  are  7  products  that  are  considered  most  primary,  with  the  first  2, Boswellia & Rehmannia Complexes oft times relieving much of the symptoms within 30 - 60 days.
1. Boswellia complex -1 tab 4x per day may help relieve both the symptoms of chronic pain & inflammation. Always take with fat containing meals,  as boswellia acids need fat  to activate their anti-inflammatory properties.
2. Rehmannia Complex ~ 1 tab 4x per day in combination with Boswellia Complex will   generally   offer   both   better   &   faster  results,   further   reducing   pain   & inflammation.
3-6. Cataplex B, Cataplex G, Folic Acid 812, and Beta food -  1  tab each 3x per day will supply all necessary   8   vitamins   &   betaine,   necessary   for   reducing homocysteine levels and supporting liver & gall bladder function.
7. Super EFF -1  cap 2-3x per day will  supply essential fatty acids and can reduce elevated copper and other toxic metals.

Picture
Additional products to be aware of are as follows:

Zinc Liver Chelate -  1  tab 2-3x per day may be used instead of Super EFF or in addition, to reduce excess copper. Be advised however, that if one begins dumping copper too quickly, they may experience greater anxiety and other emotional symptoms.  

Moly-Cu, a product available from Analytical Research Labs  (phone:  602-995-1580)  can  be  especially  helpful  at  alleviating  copper  dumping  symptoms.  Also important:  Long  term  use  of Zinc  (over  60  days)  without  copper,   can  eventually  create  a  copper deficiency.  

Chezyn is another product that contains the proper ratios of Zinc,  Copper & Iron and is an excellent supplement to use when all 3 of these minerals are deficient.

Catalyn  -  2 tabs  3x per  day for foundational  support  as  a multiple whole food vitamin &  mineral  or

Cyrofood 34 tabs 3x per day when a whole food multiple with additional bone support is warranted.

Rhodiola  &  Ginseng  Complex -  1  tab  2-4x per day -  especially good  for  chronic  mental,  physical, adrenal fatigue & exhaustion,  chronic immune depletion, etc

Cat's claw Complex -1-2 tabs 3x per day -  Promotes  general  blood  &  systemic  purification,  enhances  immunity  and  provides  significant  antimicrobial &  anti-inflammatory properties.  Many have found cat's claw to be helpful with both the pain of fibromyalgia and the debility of chronic fatigue.

Magnesium Lactate -2 caps 3x per day -Necessary for the relaxation of muscles & soft tissues, acts as a natural calmative, and for some provides pain relief.
Picture
Whole Desiccated Adrenal - 2 tabs 3x per day - for chronic fatigue provides a stimulatory effect; but does not rebuild the adrenals. Use for 30-60 days to bring up the patients energy, then switch them to
Drenamin 2 tabs 3x per day for long term rebuilding of the glands.

Nevaton -  1-2 tabs 3x per day -A tonic for mental fatigue, depression,  anxiety, nerve & liver support. Also provides anti-viral properties.

ChelaCo - 1 tab 3x per day - for toxic & heavy metal chelation & detoxification.

Saligesic - 1-2 tabs 2x per day -as a natural analgesic for additional control of pain & inflammation.

IMPORTANT  NOTICE:  The  opinions  and  suggestions  for  using  MediHerb  &  Standard  Process  products expressed  above  have  not  been  evaluated  or  approved  by  the  FDA.  As  such,  they  are  meant  to  be  used  as nutritional  support  only,  not  as  treatments  for  any  disease,  and they  do  not  necessarily  reflect the  opinions  of Standard Process or MediHerb.  There are no doubt, numerous, additional possibilities for combining and working with these two exciting product lines.  Only you the practitioner, seeing patients on a day to day basis, can and will determine what new and unique combinations will be most appropriate in any individual case.
