Natural Choices for Fibromyalgia Newsletter – October 2004
Pain Reliever – Vioxx has been taken off the Market!
We have been cautioned about the serious digestive side effects of Vioxx for years, and now they are finding that people who take Vioxx also have more heart attacks and strokes. So it has been officially taken off the market.
Other pain medications on the market (even over the counter), like Aleve, are well-known to cause many side-effects. Recently a relative of mine was rushed to the hospital because he was vomiting up blood after taking Aleve for a short period of time. The trouble is that the vomiting of blood is commonly the first sign of taking too much Aleve and other NSAIDs.
Vioxx is an anti-inflammatory drug for pain. Usually anti-inflammatory medications do not work on Fibromyalgia pain unless there is an underlying inflammation in the system that is causing the nervous system and muscles to be in a continual stress response. If you have been using Vioxx or any other anti-inflammatory for your pain and are looking for another natural choice, there is one that I recommend. Inflavonoid Intensive Care is a combination of herbs specially designed to help reduce pain caused by inflammation. It contains boswellia, ginger, tumeric and cayenne pepper to help move irritation and soreness that comes on with inflammation. You can find out more about it at Dr. Jane Oelke's Meta E-Health website
CandiBactin AR is another natural supplement that can help get rid of underlying bacterial, viral, or fungal imbalances that can cause digestive disturbances, fatigue, and pain. If you have had reoccurring viruses, or bacterial infections, or have had root canals, you may have some left over inflammation that your body is constantly trying to remove. This can cause havoc with your immune system, causing more free radicals in your system, and not allowing your body to heal effectively as it should. CandiBactin AR has oils of Thyme and Oregano that work to reduce infections and local abscesses in many hard to reach areas of the body.
Welcome to Autumn!
As weather cools down, at least in Michigan where I am located, we begin to see the beginnings of the flu season (yes, already!). We have had people with strep throat, flu, and bronchitis in the office recently. What can YOU do to avoid these common health challenges?
Antioxidants and phytochemicals, found in concentrated fruits and vegetables, are really your best bet to avoid getting sick in the first place. If you are not getting 8 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables in your daily diet, really think about taking the supplement that will support you most effectively in doing so. The phytochemicals (beneficial plant chemicals) found in concentrated fruits and vegetables put into capsule form make it easy to take on a regular basis and have been proven to improve immune system response.
We all know that we need to take antioxidants, but just Vitamin C or Vitamin A, and Beta Carotene are not enough. Many research studies show that separate antioxidants just do not work well. Our bodies recognize the combinations available in whole fruits and whole vegetables. They work to keep the liver functioning well, which will help keep your body from becoming too toxic, that cause reactions like colds and infections. If you are not taking concentrated fruits and vegetables yet, please check our this website today.
Many of my clients that take a specific whole food supplement notice that they do not “catch” the colds and flu that “attack” the general public. And for fibromyalgia pain, concentrated fruits and vegetables contain many of the beneficial nutrients you need to reduce the nervous system stress and corresponding muscle pains. In fact, here is an excerpt from a very happy customer who has been relieved of her severe Fibromyalgia symptoms:
“My name is Amber and I suffered from Fibromyalgia (pain in muscles). My pain became intolerable causing me severe migraines and vomiting. I stayed in bed most of the time and went to an acupuncturist, massage therapist, and various doctors. I was looking for the cure but all the doctors could give me was Vicadin, sleeping pills and antidepressants. Being a stay at home mom these pills were not an option for me so I took massive vitamins and I had to take 4 Advil every 4 hours just to walk without becoming sick from the pain.
I was introduced to (a specifc concentrated fruit and vegetable combination in capsule form)and decided to try it after listening to a few doctors and looking at the research. This decision changed my life. After 2 days of taking it I started detoxing (in a good way). It started cleaning my colon of all the vitamins I had taken that didn’t digest because they were synthetic. About 2 weeks later I noticed an increase in my energy level, my nails were growing, and my complexion was smoothing out. After about 2 months my pain was decreasing rapidly and my attitude became calmer and more pleasant. For years I had a hard time keeping weight on due to many problems and within the 3rd month I noticed that I was gaining healthy weight, not fat. By the fourth month I was almost pain free.
All those years I suffered from severe pain and migraines along with other symptoms of Fibromyalgia are now behind me. I am currently pain free and healthy. Juice Plus gave me my quality of life back, enabling me to be a more active mom and wife.”
