Fibromyalgia © Dr. Eileen Silva 2006

Do you have pain for which no cause can be found? Have you been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia? One of my clients called the other day with some questions on Fibromyalgia, so I thought this would be a great time to bring you up to speed with a little insight on this prevalent pain diagnosis.

First the bad news! There is no medical cure for Fibromyalgia. The good news is that there is no medical test for it either. It’s diagnosed as Fibromyalgia after no real cause for pain can be found. So, simply put, when the doctor can’t find anything wrong, but you are still complaining about hurting, chances are pretty good that he’s going to slap a “Fibromyalgia” label on you.

So, what is really going on? Are you ready for this? Generally speaking, pain is the result of a lack of oxygen. Your unexplained pain could be caused by anything from metal poisoning to gas in your system. For a complete discussion of this topic, just email me (eileen@eileensilva.com) and we will send you the whole story.

You may have other conditions that contribute to your pain like:
Acidic pH
Parasites in the tissues
Improper diet that causes inflammation
Lack of good oxygenation
Poor mobility due to lack of exercise
Dehydration
Colon and /or liver toxicity

If you suffer from Fibromyalgia, here are two extremely important tips for you:
1. Drink at least two quarts of pure water a day for better hydration and elimination.
2. Exercise daily to release brain hormones called endorphins. If you could actually do two exercise sessions a day, one for 20 minutes in the morning and one for 20 minutes in the early evening, this would give you the most consistent endorphin levels for natural pain management.


You can also eat a diet high in green vegetables to help your body’s pH balance remain alkaline, and that’s a good thing.

Treat yourself to a deep soothing hot bath . . . it’s very relaxing, helps to detox your body, and encourages a good night’s sleep.

I personally used to suffer daily from unexplained (at least medically unexplained) pain. I used to explain it all right, but there wasn’t any real justification for it. I’m now pain free and living life on my terms. So can you!
