Dr. Keller’s Explanation of Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia still remains a condition in which there is no specific test to determine diagnosis. Anyone who suffers from fibromyalgia can attest to the chronic pain which occurs on a daily basis. The pain has been described by some as aching, numbing, shooting, and/or debilitating. Tingling sensations and headaches are also a common complaint of patients. Fatigue is common – as many people are not able to sleep through the night.
To determine if an individual has fibromyalgia, a doctor will apply pressure to specific areas on the body. These areas are known as pressure points. There are upwards of 18 areas which can be tested for tenderness. If tenderness is found in more than half of these spots, fibromyalgia is usually found to be the culprit.
Research is showing that many who have fibromyalgia also have a form of malnutrition. It is important to understand that you do not have to be underweight to suffer from malnutrition. If your body is not nourished with the proper amount of vitamins, minerals and enzymes, it cannot function properly–plain and simple.
The modern age has brought fast food and junk foods to the foreground. While many are eating well, they are not necessarily eating properly. This can lead to vitamin deficiencies, lowered immune system function and even the development of chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension. I encourage everyone to supplement their diets for optimal health. With the proper combination of supplements you can equip your body for the healing process.
