In the today’s article, I’ll discuss a very serious condition: Fibromyalgia!

Fibromyalgia is probably the most mysterious, least understood condition on earth. It’s however totally real and nothing to do with imagination or being hysterical, like many traditional medical doctors want to think.

On the contrary, many ‘healthy’ people suffer from ‘very mild’ Fibromyalgia, or at least have the same underlying symptoms and causes, without even being aware of it.

In this article, I’m going to explain Fibromyalgia and give you a natural approach to deal with it.

Fibromyalgia is not only a subject that concerns a few ‘diagnosed’ individuals.
The cause for Fibromyalgia explains the low energy, dizziness and overall lousy healthy that so many people experience. In the modern world, this is considered the norm and nobody thinks there is anything wrong with it.

So what do we do when we feel tired or low on energy?

We try to find something to boost us up. Most of the time, these things are not healthy for us. coffee, sugar, high carbohydrate food, and other substances are often used when all we need is a little rest.

But these substances end up robbing us of energy.

Another substance that is little talked about are emotional substances.

What do many of us do when we feel tired and low on energy? Pick a fight, find something to be angry about, get offended. The list of emotional substances is endless. Just admit it, you too have kept your self going on resentment sometimes. It’s a great substance, much more powerful than coffee or sugar.

But like other substances, it ends up robbing our energy.

Often the people who look the most energetic, active and outgoing, always ready for some intensity and action are actually unknowingly only masking how drained and tired they really are. One day something has to go and the hit often comes in the symptoms of Fibromyalgia.

I’m not offending anybody!

What I’m trying to explain here is why Fibromyalgia often seems to hit really active, energetic people and why it often seems to hit so suddenly, without a warning.

I also want to stretch that EVERYBODY should be aware of this condition. Because what we look at normal thing, is actually often draining the life out of us.

So I hope I got the point through: when we’re overworked, stressed, or drained from something like pollution in the air or food, we tend to look for substances or emotions to pep us up. These pep ups actually make things worse.

Fibromyalgia often appears after a big shock.

It may be a physical shock like an accident, or a emotional shock like divorce or a death of a close relative. Other times, Fibromyalgia appears without any noticeable trigger.

I believe Fibromyalgia builds up in the body over a long period of time. It doesn’t just come from nowhere. It’s been progressing, without anybody noticing, for years.

Many ‘healthy’ people have this underlying progressing of what could possible become Fibromyalgia but never comes out in the open. That’s why so many people are drained and tired in the modern world.

So What Has Been Progressing?

The main cause for Fibromyalgia is oxygen deprivation. Your cells in the body are not receiving and processing enough oxygen.

This causes imbalance in the whole body. Here are just a few main symptoms of Fibromyalgia explained from a oxygen deprivation point of view…

• Persistent muscle pain and weakness. Explanation: Oxygen deprivation causes muscle pain.
• Disabling fatigue. Explanation: Oxygen deprivation in tissue causes fatigue and exhaustion.
• Brain fog (problems of mood, memory, and mentation). Explanation: Oxygen deprivation in brain cells causes brain fog and dysfunction.
• Air hunger. Explanation: Oxygen deprivation within the cells causes air hunger.
• Symptoms of weakened immune systems, such as sore throats, swollen neck glands, and painful tissues. Explanation: Oxygen deprivation in immune cells causes immune weaknesses.
• Abdominal bloating, cramps, episodes of diarrhea and constipation, and problems of digestion and malabsorption. Explanation: Oxygen deprivation in the bowel causes bloating, cramps, and malabsorption.
• Cold sensitivity and poor circulation. Explanation: Oxygen deprivation in skin causes cold sensitivity.
• Sleep difficulties, restless leg syndrome, and legs. Explanation: Oxygen deprivation interferes with functions of the sleep center and causes other problems, such as restless leg syndrome.
• Lightheadedness, dizziness, heart palpitations, and skipped beats. Explanation: Oxygen deprivation in the heart and brain and vessel walls causes lightheadedness, dizziness, heart palpitations, and skipped beats.
• Dry skin, dry eyes, dry mouth, and dry vaginal tissues. Explanation: Oxygen deprivation in the cells of the skin, eyes, mouth and vagina muscles causes cell shrinkage and dryness skin.
• Vaginitis, bladder spasms, and bladder infections in women and prostatitis in men. Explanation: Oxygen deprivation in genital tissues causes vaginitis, bladder spasms, and bladder infections in women and prostatitis in men.
• Joint and muscle stiffness and pain. Explanation: Oxygen deprivation in joints and muscles causes stiffness and pain.
• Lack of sex drive in both sexes and menstrual irregularities in women. Explanation: Oxygen deprivation interferes with the enzyme functions of sexual organs and their hormones.

So what causes the oxygen deprivation?

There are two things:

1. Cellular dysfunction, due to intoxication from air and food.
2. Lack of oxygen flow, into and throughout the body.

Remember, these are not just Fibromyalgia problems. Virtually every modern person is faced with these problems in one way or another.

Lets look at the first cause first:

Cellular dysfunction, causing oxygen deprivation:

I hate to bring this horrible fact to you…

You’re begin poisoned with deadly chemicals several times, every singe day. Not just from the pollution you inhale, but also from virtually everything you eat and drink (maybe even if you’re on a strict organic diet).

The poison may be the fluoride and chlorine in the drinking water (biggest cause for hyperthyroid), the chemical in the microwave and the can food you eat, the fertilizer used on the fruits and vegetables. And thousands of other things.

Even organic grown vegetables and fruits are watered with fluoride and chlorine filled watter. They’re also grown in air that is filled with pollution from cars and airplanes.

You’re eating, drinking and breathing all this poison. And it all goes into the cells in your body.

Overloaded with toxic, little by little, your cells begin to loose their function. They stop being able to process the little oxygen they receive and you begin to experience some or all the symptoms of Fibromyalgia.

Now, here is an interesting side story…

Lab researches have shown that cells can literally live forever, as long as they’ve enough energy source flowing to them and enough toxic cleaning flow from them. Meaning, if the cells can get rid of their toxic quickly enough, they’ll virtually not die.

So to deal with this part of Fibromyalgia, you need to do everything to clench and circulate your system. And then take in as little new toxic as possible. It’s actually that simple.

As your cells get cleaned, they begin to function again. And you’ll get your energy back.

Here are a few things you can do to improve your cellular function…

1. The most important thing is to drink enough of pure, filtered watter. Water is essential to clean your system. No other drink can replace it. Drink at least half a gallon of pure filtered water a day. If you aren’t already doing this, try it for a week and see how you feel.
2. A healthy, whole foods diet is an important part of any Fibromyalgia treatment program. Emphasize organic foods, especially fresh, organic vegetables. For even more benefits, consider adopting a vegetarian diet, which has been shown to significantly reduce Fibromyalgia symptoms. Apple cider vinegar, a few times a day, has been proven extremely effective to clean out your system.
3. Essential nutrients to help treat Fibromyalgia include vitamin C, vitamin E, niacinimide (vitamin B3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA-an essential fatty acid), magnesium, selenium, zinc, and the lipotrophic factors inositol, methionine, and phosphatidyl choline. The nutritional supplements cetyl myristoleate and SAMe are also highly beneficial, as it the Meyers Cocktail, which must be administered by a trained health care practitioner.
4. Herbal remedies for Fibromyalgia include cayenne and chamomile. An herbal combination of tinctures of black cohosh, celery, dandelion, devil`s claw, Echinacea, and licorice in equal parts, can also be helpful.
5. Homeopathic remedies for Fibromyalgia include Arnica, Bryonia, and Rhus. Tox.
6. Various bodywork therapies, such as Massage, Acupressure, Bowen Therapy, Feldenkrais, myotherapy, Rolfing, Shiatsu, Therapeutic Touch, and Trigger Point Therapy, can provide significant relief of Fibromyalgia pain and speed healing. Simple 10-30 minutes walk outside every day has been proven extremely helpful.
7. Mind/body medicine therapies such as biofeedback, guided imagery and visualization, hypnotherapy, and meditation, can help relieve chronic stress, thereby soothing muscle tension and reducing pain, as well as promoting deeper, healthier sleep.

Now, lets look at the other (and in my opinion more important) cause for oxygen deprivation…

Lack of oxygen flow, into and throughout the body, causing oxygen deprivation:

I haven’t seen anybody else talk about this important point. Why I don’t know.

I guess science has the drawback that it makes it easier to bypass the obvious and begin looking for complicated explanations that require complicated solutions.

The main cause for lack of oxygen intake into the body is muscle tension around the lungs, throat, and neck and around the breathing passages. This tension stops the lungs from performing perfectly and reduces the amount of oxygen possible to inhale.

Tension around the throat and the breathing passages also blocks oxygen inhale, especially at night. This is one reason why many people suffering from Fibromyalgia also sleep very badly and wake up tired. They simple don’t get enough oxygen during the night. This is the same problem that bothers sleep apnea patients.

Tension in the neck and spine blocks the little oxygen that gets into the blood from flowing throughout the body. This is, for example the reason so many Fibromyalgia patients experience …

• Dizziness
• Vertigo
• Disabling fatigue
• Brain fog (problems of mood, memory, and mentation)
• Sleep difficulties

… and virtually all other symptoms of Fibromyalgia!

Tension in the neck prevents enough oxygen filled blood to flow up to the brain. Your brain can’t function without oxygen. Nothing, I repeat nothing, in your body can function without your brain.

This doesn’t mean that your brain can’t function at all. It means that your brain is low on gas and can only perform small part of the task it’s meant to perform.

So what can you do to increase oxygen flow, into and throughout the body?

1. Walk outside every day. This is the best exercise you can do. It circulates your blood, loads you with fresh air (which is necessary) and loosen up your whole body. Braking a sweat is also a very good way to clean your system. Do what you can. 10 minutes walk to begin with and then try to increase the time up to 30 minutes a day. Don’t overdo it
2. Regular massages and chiropractor sessions will loosen up your spine and the muscles around the breathing passages.
3. Drink oxygen filled water. It’s not available everywhere but many health food stores now offer oxygen filled watter. The oxygen quickly slides out so make sure you drink it soon after you buy it.
4. Practice my exercises!

Here is my personal work…

In my work, I’ve developed extremely effective exercises focused on this specific issue; increasing the intake of oxygen and increasing the blood flow throughout the body (especially up to the brain).

These exercises open up the breathing passages and ‘free’ the lungs. Then they focus on spreading the oxygen throughout the body, specially up to the brain.

These exercises have been proven extremely effective when dealing with Fibromyalgia.

Everyone agrees that the few minutes exercises are well worth practicing, since they deliver at least some and at best full cure for Fibromyalgia.

Some clients have even told me, they have more energy now after using the program than before they began to notice the Fibromyalgia symptoms.

I think that’s amazing.

The exercises will only partly deal with the first cause of Fibromyalgia (Cellular dysfunction, due to intoxication from air and food), so I encourage everyone to take the action to deal with that part too (even if it doesn’t always seem to be necessary). Because using both the exercises and the other tips given in this exercises, guarantees the best possible results for Fibromyalgia.

If you’re interested in learning more about my exercises and try the Fibromyalgia treatment program out, you can find it here.

This program and the tips I’ve given you today are not only helpful for Fibromyalgia, but also if you suffer from frequent dizziness and vertigo attacks or other related symptoms.

I hope you enjoyed and benefited from this article. Please leave your comments at the bottom of this page.
