The Fibromyalgia Cure [Paperback]

David Ian Dryland (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 2005

Physician and author David Dryland, M.D., helps patients lead fibromyalgia-free lives through a revolutionary approach to the diagnosis, treatment and cure of fibromyalgia. The Fibromyalgia Cure clearly explains the science of fibromyalgia and includes a simple diagnostic test to determine if you have fibromyalgia.

The Fibromyalgia Cure blends traditional western medicine with classical mind-body medicine, giving patients multiple options for the treatment of this illness. Dr. Dryland details groundbreaking research that for the first time links fibromyalgia to chronic dopamine depletion in the central nervous system. He clearly explains how patients can understand what is causing their particular case of fibromyalgia, and how to reverse the progression of this illness naturally. He also describes his success with prescribing medications that are specifically designed to simulate the role of dopamine in the central nervous system, greatly reducing or eliminating fibromyalgia symptoms.

The Fibromyalgia Cure provides comprehensive answers to these straightforward, but previously difficult to answer fibromyalgia questions: What is it? What are the causes? What can it do to you? What can you do about it?

The book provides patients with a step-by-step process for understanding and then treating fibromyalgia. Also included in the book, is an Appendix for Healthcare Providers. This Appendix will help patients and healthcare providers work together to identify the best course of treatment for their particular case of fibromyalgia.

Review

"Dr. Dryland can be counted among those who embraced adversity and continued to search for answers to this epic challenge." -- From the Foreword, Andrew J. Holman, MD, Professor of Medicine, University of Washington

From the Author

When I completed my medical training at Yale University and started my rheumatology practice, I never imagined that I might one day specialize in the treatment of fibromyalgia. However, after attempting to treat increasing numbers of suffering fibromyalgia patients and then being diagnosed with fibromyalgia myself, I had more than enough motivation to look for the true causes of this confusing and painful syndrome.

I estimate that 30 million Americans have fibromyalgia. In the past decade, most physicians have come to accept that fibromyalgia is a real (not imagined) and debilitating condition. To date, the medical community has treated the symptoms of fibromyalgia to the best of their ability. However, for too many people a diagnosis of fibromyalgia still implies a life sentence of learning how to live with suffering.

The lessons I learned, both as a fibromyalgia patient and as a rheumatologist striving to provide the best possible care for fibromyalgia patients, provided me with the insight I needed to help patients fully recover from fibromyalgia.

In The Fibromyalgia Cure, I analyze the most current research related to fibromyalgia and detail my own clinical findings regarding the causes of fibromyalgia. This empowering book clearly explains the causes of fibromyalgia, and for the first time provides health-care providers and patients with a scientific understanding of this condition and how to achieve a complete recovery.

As I can personally testify, there is no reason for most patients to continue to suffer from fibromyalgia. It is my hope, that in writing The Fibromyalgia Cure I will help many others realize that it is within their power to lead active healthy lives.
