New Relief for Fibromyalgia: Doctor-Supervised Detoxification Plans

Frustrated by fibromyalgia? As a doctor, I am too! The pain, stiffness, fatigue, and other symptoms of fibromyalgia that you're feeling may not respond "normally" to "normal" treatments for these common complaints.

Some of the most successful new relief strategies for the joint, muscle, and nerve pain of fibromyalgia include nutrition-based detoxification programs.

Why detoxification?

Detoxification is something your body should normally do quite well on its own. It helps you get rid of the nasty impurities you eat, drink, and breathe that your body doesn't want or need.

Research suggests that impaired detoxification may play a role in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. An increased toxic burden--due to "environmental overload" --can contribute to the severity of nerve-related pain, increased inflammation, and problems with the body's ability to produce energy.

With musculoskeletal pain syndromes like fibromyalgia, doctors and research scientists have noticed an increased sensitivity to everyday chemicals (perfume, paint, carpet, car fumes) and toxins, including heavy metals (lead, mercury). These may trigger your symptoms or make them worse. 

As well, what you eat and drink (artificial ingredients, hormone-injected meats, mercury-laced fish) may be making your symptoms worse.

Sometimes your body just needs a little "pollution vacation" to get back in working order again.

How detoxification works

Fortunately, you can easily support your body's natural ability to detoxify with simple changes to your diet, along with targeted vitamins, minerals, and other plant-derived ingredients.

Even people without fibromyalgia often use detoxification programs to get relief for a wide range of symptoms-like headaches, "foggy" thinking, poor mood, and plain old feeling run down.

Some detoxification programs last as short as a week to ten days. But some people with more serious symptoms may need a few more weeks for the benefits to kick in. Don't give up hope. It often takes a while to develop signs of fibromyalgia. Finding true relief could take awhile too.
