My Five Part System and the Top Five Supplements I Used To Regain My Health and Enjoy My Life Again

I have combined all of these products and added more to address every single symptom and problem of fibromyalgia. See It Here

Hello and thank you for visiting fibrosmart.com

If you are here you are probably like I was when I first got diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I scoured the internet searching for help to end my pain and fatigue. I  know the severity. I know how it seems like nothing in your body is working the way it should. You can't move, you can't sleep, you can't enjoy anything. You wonder how long you will be able to take it and yet you get up another day and try again.

The truth is I don't know what causes fibromyalgia but I do know that there are things that helped me to get my life back, and I know there are others who have also stumbled upon things that worked for them. The problem is that not many people find the answers or they are just happy to solve one part of the equation and they are willing to settle on all of the rest. Some people are just happy to find pain relief, some people are just happy to be able to sleep, others like myself want a return to health. The health they had before they got fibromyalgia. That is why I started this site. I have found the things that gave me my health back and it wasn't any one thing, it was a system of tackling individual problems that eventually paid off in a return to health for me and I discovered them not by thinking of a cure for my fibromyalgia but wishing that if I could just take away one of the symptoms it would be a relief.

When I got better I was so overjoyed and I knew that there were so many other people suffering with exactly the same symptoms that I had.

So, what did I do to regain my health?

1. My first goal was to help my IBS. This was something I had off and on before my fibromyalgia. It just got worse after. I began taking probiotics. I took a formula with at least five or six of the beneficial bacteria that you need for good intestinal health. Now I believe the more strains of good bacteria you can get the better and in the market today there are better formulas than when I first started. The very first day my shoulder pain in my left side went away. I was amazed because I suffered with intense shoulder pain for over two years. Now I am going to insert a warning, certain people should not take probiotics. Those whose immune system is compromised should not. Those undergoing any kind of transplant should not. You must talk to your doctor if you even think this could apply to you. I believe everyone should take probiotics even if they don't have IBS. They strengthen your immune system, they promote good digestion and good intestinal health and no nutrients can be absorbed by your system and heal you without optimum intestinal health. They also help control toxins and yeast. See exactly what beneficial probiotics to look for in a product and what to expect here.

2. Detox made me feel better. I began taking Niacin after reading that it helped those with arthritis. Not the no flush kind. It helped my stiffness a lot but later I read that it was also good for removing toxins from the body. Again certain people should not take niacin. Talk to your doctor. I always felt that I had a toxic build up in my body because I thought that if I am so stiff and in so much pain how can any blood even be flowing well enough to remove toxins and once I tried products to detox I felt much better. Now I take Chlorella for detox.  I only detox occasionally now. You can also try a gentle colon cleanse for detox, contrary to what you may think it will help your IBS.

3. The best discovery for me was systemic enzymes for pain. The proteolytic enzymes and the serrapeptides work the best. You can find the specific enzymes to look for in the articles on this site about systemic enzymes. The best spectrums are also in Vitabase Systemic Enzyme Blend and Serrazimes. It took 3 full months but eventually all of my pain went away. Again I was still taking the probiotics along with them everyday. I can't even tell you the joy I felt when I could move again and it was wonderful being able to sleep without tossing and turning all night long because everything hurt. The only people who should not take systemic enzymes are those on blood thinners. Systemic enzymes also take care of mold, viruses, and yeast. They also help with the anxiety, dizziness, lightheadedness, and brain fog that sometimes accompanies fibromyalgia. Read about what systemic enzymes do and what to look for in a good one here.

4. Good Multi Vitamin for Fatigue. The only remaining problem I had was with fatigue. I began to take a very good multi-vitamin everyday with high doses of the B vitamins especially. Vitamins from the department store just aren't good enough. Fibromyalgia patients are deficient in many vitamins and minerals. I also added Whey Protein (the kind that weightbuilders use), to my diet, it gives me sustained energy throughout the day, stabilizes my blood sugars and helps my muscles heal while I sleep, it also helps to get a good nights sleep by drinking a glass with milk before bed.

5. Natural sleep medicine. I take a good homeopathic formula to sleep. There are no side effects for me and you don't wake up feeling groggy or worse the next day. You don't need any more chemicals affecting your brain if the theory is true that fibromyalgia affects your hypothalamus. I actually found that taking Ambien increased my pain, on the days I didn't take it I woke up with much less pain so I stopped that altogether. I use Calms Forte Natural Sleep Aid. Another good thing is magnesium citrate and L-5HTP to help with insomnia and mood.

These are the top 5 treatments that I use to treat my fibromyalgia. Some people may need other supplements to address additional problems that often go along with fibromyalgia like weight gain, blood sugar problems or hormonal help.

Diet

I stay away from sugar and white flour and as much soy as I can. There comes a point where you must realize that white flour and especially sugar are poisoning your system when you have fibromyalgia. You can not metabolize it properly and it contributes to or causes more than half of your symptoms. Avoid trans fats and hydrogenated oils, margarine, like the plague, they literally change the way your cells function so that utilizing sugar and carbs for energy is almost impossible. Hydrogenated oils damage your cells, your mitochondria, which is needed for energy production, they allow viruses, bacteria and toxins to enter but not vitamins and minerals. At the same time they don't allow toxins to exit. They make your cells insulin resistant so that you can not utilize glucose for energy. Hydrogenated oils also damage your blood vessels and raise c bad cholesterol levels while decreasing good cholesterol. Supplement with Essential Fatty Acids and use good oils like Olive Oil and Coconut Oil for cooking, this will replace the bad fats in your body with good fats that you absolutely need.

I use Dr. Gott's No Flour, No Sugar Diet six days a week. If I must use sugar in my one cup of coffee or tea a day I use Agave Nectar. You can also use Stevia.

I also try to stay away from processed foods. I never ate that much but it is just as easy to make food from scratch and add your own herbs, cheese or spices as it is to just buy a box with a bunch of chemicals.

 

I swim for exercise, it was the only thing I could do that didn't hurt but now I do all of the things I did before I ever got fibro and I still do a lot of swimming because it gives all of my body a workout. I also do yoga occasionally.

 

It wasn't until I began to do everything together on a daily basis that these things began to work. They are the easiest most cost effective way to deal with all of the symptoms of fibromyalgia.

I really believe this system is just about giving your body everything that it needs to heal. We may never know what causes fibromyalgia but in my opinion you have to treat it just like you would any other illness and that is just to take optimal care of your body and give it what it needs to get better and once it starts getting that help you will begin to heal. It is what your body does naturally. It may take a long time, and the longer you have had fibromyalgia the longer it may take but there is really no other solution than to take control of your own health and begin to try and regain your health.

I don't know if my system will help everyone but I know from researching for hundreds of hours and after spending thousands of dollars on medical care and alternative therapies that I have found the five best things that work for me. I also know they have worked for others.

I hope they will work for you and I hope that you will take the time to read the articles I have compiled here to learn more about your body if nothing else. I believe anyone with chronic pain or fatigue can be helped by this site.

I would also hope that if you find anything else that works for you you will visit often and share your success stories with others by contacting me on the contact page so I can pass the information along to others. I regained my health because others have shared their knowledge so I hope to get many of you to do the same. If you try my system and it works for you please let me know.

Again thank you for visiting and I wish you the best of health.
