I need alternative remedies/supplement for severe fibromyalgia incl. migraines. I drink a lot of painkillers.?
Question: I found that most medicines does not work to relieve symptoms.
Answers: I am a Chiropractor and have worked with many fibromyalgia patients. The most effective things I've seen are gentle chiropractic care, stress control, stopping smoking, good diet (I think legumes - beans, lentils, peas - and squash are very underrated and very important), multivitamins and fish oil capsules, and light exercise. Pain medicines will not help your problem except temporarily. Fibromalgia usually doesn't go away completely, but can be very much improved with these methods in combination. Best luck. Dr. DCR.
u need to re evaluate your diet
Triggers are Potatos or Tomatos
and a bunch of other things
if u can delete these from your diet your symptoms should become less painful
Some people get relief from drinking monavie juice for both FM and migraines. It would be worth a trial.
Simply stated, it all starts with the basics and since the human body is predominantly made of water, changing the type of water we drink can yield amazing results. My own testimonial of how highly alkaline water has helped me is as follows: I became involved with a water filtration system that generates alkaline water, that is, water with a pH of 8.0-9.5 (normal tap water has a pH of about 7.0). I rationalized that high alkalinity levels would offset the acidity our modern diets introduce into our system considering again, we are mostly comprised of water. Being the skeptic that I am, I started drinking alakline water all day long for weight loss. The claims are that the filtration system creates microclusters of water molecules that are better absorbed by the body and thus, help dissolve fat. After day 2 of drinking it, I noticed that a nagging back pain, lumbar, I had since I had my child (I gained almost 70 lbs during pregnancy) went away. I couldn't believe it so the next day I went back to the gym and did this exercise machine for the obliques that ALWAYS gave me pain (it's like high heel shoes, they hurt us but we still wear them). I did 2 sets, 15 reps each, using the same weight and my back didn't hurt. It's now day 5 and my back still doesn't hurt. I am truly in awe, needless to say the water is helping my weight loss efforts despite my diet of crackers ( I do exercise every day so that may have to do with it) but my muscle tone has improved and perhaps the water had something to do with this.
My point is this, I never took the water for back pain but it has gone away. The literature and testimonials about the water system all indicate how its been used in the treatment of many diseases with great success.

Help your body heal itself holistically
Did you know that your body - when in optimal health - can actually battle and prevent illness and disease without the assistance of prescription drugs?
The problem is, most of us are not at our optimal health. An overabundance of chemicals, non-organic products and stress damages our bodies so severely that it can't function effectively. That's why so many of us are feeling lethargic, constantly battling a cold or an even deeper illness.
Yet there's a simple way to prevent and fight illness and disease holistically and you just have to change one thing.
Your water.
In fact, did you know that if you change your water, you can change your life?
Here's how:
A body in optimal health has a balanced pH level. Remember high school chemistry? Proper amounts of acid and alkaline result in a balanced pH level. So an excess of acidity – also known as acidosis – means our pH isn't balanced and our bodies are damaged. Damaged blood and organs don't function properly.
In fact, many diseases such as diabetes, high-blood pressure and obesity are caused by acidosis… and many other serious illnesses like cancer actually thrive in acidic environments…
It's hard to control every factor that raises our acidity levels. But you can give your body the alkaline it needs to balance out your pH level.
Kangen Alkaline Ionized Water Systems, developed by a 32-year-old Japanese company, returns the body to its natural state of optimal pH levels.
Through electrolysis, the Kangen Water System (an attractive, compact machine for your kitchen) restructures harmful acidic tap water into alkaline water, perfect for drinking and balancing your pH level.
As soon as you start drinking Kangen water you begin to detoxify and hydrate your body, cleanse your colon, treat skin conditions and bring the body to a more balanced, natural state. When your body is able to function properly, it becomes a warrior against disease, illness and aging – it heals itself holistically.
See how if you change your water, you can change your life?

Pain killers generally won't work. Fibromyalgia is a condition that is caused by severe stress. Which causes hormonal imbalance that causes extreme joint and muscular pain. You have to start at the source of the problem and eliminate the stress. There is a natural remedy that is great for stress and very helpful for fibromyalgia. 5-htp is wonderful for helping the cause which will ease those symptoms because it starts at the brain and works it's way outward. You can find it at most pharmacies in the vitamin section or at the Vitamin Shoppe. The usual dosage is 50mg before bedtime. It has no harmful side effects. Just make sure you do not take it with your pain killers. Give those a rest and look for alternatives such as this. Pain killers just treat the symptoms not the problem plus cause addiction. A natural approach will hit the root of the problem. It sounds cliche but yoga is excellent for fibromyalgia too because it loosens up the muscles and increases the flexibility.
I have several testimonies of how Transfer Factor products have helped fibromyalgia. I will email them to you if you send me your url. My wife is fibromyalgic and gets a lot of help from Bowen therapy. It enables her to live a normal life but does not cure it,- just gives relief. See www.hope4health.co.uk

sure then after you take the garlic and cut off your own head...no more rabies. NO you cant use garlic as a cure for rabies. if that were true you wouldnt hear about rabies cases would you?
The cause is directly linked to the overconsumption of sugar and meat products, including dairy. Try eliminating them from your diet for a while and see if that doesn't help. In the meantime, here are
