Natural Choices for Fibromyalgia: Discover Your Personal Method for Pain Relief [Paperback]

Jane Oelke ND PhD (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2003

Presenting practical suggestions for relief of pain based on the results of a research study of metabolism, this book offers hope to fibromyalgia sufferers through suggestions of simple lifestyle changes. Since the specific cause of chronic pain associated with fibromyalgia has not yet been explained, this analysis looks at various metabolic imbalances that often produce pain, methods used for diagnosing fibromyalgia, other symptoms that are associated with chronic pain, and the effects of environmental stress on metabolism. Explanations of how daily nutritional choices affect metabolic health are included, and nutritional supplements and natural health techniques such as homeopathy, exercise, and bodywork are provided.

This review is from: Natural Choices for Fibromyalgia: Discover Your Personal Method for Pain Relief (Paperback)

I've been following MOST of what "Natural Choices for Fibromyalgia" suggested and after suffering from Fibromyalgia symptoms for almost 10 years, this is the best I've felt. The best part is that I'm NOT even taking anymore pain/sleeping pills!!

Although there isn't a cure for Fibromyalgia YET, this book explains so many simple, yet effective, NATURAL ways to manage so many of our awful symptoms.

I think everyone that suffers from Fibromyalgia needs to read this book. It's definitely been the best $15.00 I've spent and can honestly say that it's truly been an answer to my prayers!

5.0 out of 5 stars I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone suffering from FMS., March 13, 2005

This review is from: Natural Choices for Fibromyalgia: Discover Your Personal Method for Pain Relief (Paperback)

Natural Choices for Fibromyalgia is VERY informative and I learned so much about how nutrition does actually play a HUGE part in helping with my Fibromyalgia symptoms.

This book recommends a "whole food" supplement called JuicePlus (www.jplus.net) (It's fruits and vegetables in capsule form). I've been taking for almost a year now and although I still have the pain, the fatigue is DRASTICALLY better since taking this.

I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone suffering from FMS.
