Dear ,
Dear ,
According to the National
Fibromyalgia Association (www.fmaware.org) "Fibromyalgia is one of the most common chronic
pain conditions. The disorder affects an estimated 10 million people in the
U.S. and an estimated 3-6% of the world population. While it is most prevalent
in women --75-90 percent of the people who have FM are women --it also occurs in
men and children of all ethnic groups. The disorder is often seen in families,
among siblings or mothers and their children."
This
week David Christopher discusses the cause and herbal protocol for healing
Fibromyalgia.
Our
recipe is a simple Pineapple Coleslaw that you can enjoy with any meal.
Until next week - be healthy and happy-

Fibromyalgia
is characterized by chronic widespread pain, multiple tender points, abnormal
pain processing, sleep disturbances, fatigue and often psychological distress
(National Fibromyalgia Association http://www.fmaware.org).
Fibromyalgia occurs generally, but
not always, in people who are driven, compulsive, overachieving, and/or
perfectionists. Because they plow
through tasks, even when exhausted, they are more prone to develop this condition.
If they do not exercise and eat
properly, breaking down and assimilating the correct foods, then the body
cannot repair the cells that are damaged from such high stress. It is the autonomic nervous system that seems
to take the biggest hit. Neurotransmitters become imbalanced and/or dysfunctional. Hormones are not produced in sufficient
numbers, like cortisol, estrogen, melatonin, thyroxin etc. These imbalances and deficiencies account for
many of the symptoms manifest. This
scenario then results in a hypersensitive disorder, in which Substance P is
elevated and sufferers feel pain in areas that are not inflamed.
Natural solution: Follow the dietary directions outlined for
fatigue (see http://articles.herballegacy.com/fatigue/).
Herbal protocol: Cayenne pepper can block Substance P, so mix
a teaspoon in water and drink it down. The extreme heat (without damage) confuses the central nervous system
which triggers the release of pain blockers.
Valerian extract from fresh roots
will help solve the sleep disorders experienced with Fibromyalgia.
Licorice root and Bee pollen are
excellent energy boosters.
Hormonal Changease, a Dr.
Christopher herbal formula, will help supply the body with needed hormone
precursors known as phyto-sterols.
Precursors for Neurotransmitters
are best supplied through legumes, nuts, seeds, endive, avocados, spirulina and
nutritional yeast.
Exercise will help deliver the
herbs and precursors to their target tissues. The Cellerciser as explained on www.christopherwebsites.com will
gently exercise every cell of your body.
Follow these procedures and you will
discover that Fibromyalgia is curable.
