Hi Donna,
Fibromyaligia Syndrome is thought to be an autoimmune system malfunction, related to arthritis and lupus. At this time, there is no known cause or cure, although there are many treatments and theories.
Treatments and successes vary greatly from person to person. What works for one person may not work at all for another.
What I have seen in several friends who have suffered seriously from the syndrome for many years, is that it seems to be able to be controlled to a large extent by diet.
Several products that I know of that friends with fybromyalgia have used with great success are Noni Tea, Noni Juice, and Goji Juice. The most effective seemed to be the Goji Juice, but the least expensive was Noni Juice that can be bought at Costco. According to test results I've read online, the Costco Noni Juice is a very good quality juice.
Goji Juice, which I drink every day, can be bought online (I prefer that juice), at good health food stores, and in some grocery stores. You can also buy the dried berries in many health food and some grocery stores, which gives you the added benefit of the essential fatty acids contained in the seeds.
One thing that is very important is to go slow. When you have any chronic condition, such as FS, start out slowly with any new food, drink, supplement, etc, that you try. Have a health professional monitor your condition as you go along, and only increase the amount you use as your body becomes used to it with no adverse effects.
Never allow yourself be talked into taking large amounts of any miracle foods. Many of the products being advertised, especially by MLM companies, are, indeed, very high in the nutrients they claim, but the fact is that the body can only absorb so much at one time, and what works for one person may not work at all for another. It depends entirely on what your unique body needs.
God bless,
Dave
