Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by chronic pain in the muscles of soft tissues and in surrounding joints, fatigue, and tenderness are also found in specific sites in the body. Also called fibromyositis, fibrositis.
Studies have shown that many people who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome are ofte very deficient in many key vitamins and antioxidants; thus, a recommendation for proper nutritional intake should be in order.
As in all types of degenerative diseases, they are caused largely by oxidative stress, by reducing your exposure to free radicals, like smoking, avoiding air pollution as much as possible, eat organically grown foods, start a moderate exercise program, and make relaxation a part of your every day. In addition ,you should also start a supplementation program with potent antioxidants and vitamins. CoQ10 is a very important nutritional supplement when it comes to neutralizing free radicals all over the body. It’s a fat-soluble substance, which means it passes into more areas of the body much easier, neutralizing free radicals before they can cause dangerous damage.
Calcium is another necessary supplement in treating or preventing CFS and fibromyalgia.Low levels of calcium have been found in numerous patients who suffer from both of these conditions. Supplementing your diet with calcium will work in tandem with minerals like magnesium and vitamins like vitamin C to help repair damage caused by oxidative stress, as well as help prevent further complications from developing.
Dietary Supplement fibromyalic formula capsules contain a synergistic blend of nutraceutuicals, minerals and natural herbs that are recommended by many healthcare professionals.These nutritional supplements for natural fibromyalgia treatments are an easy to swallow CAPSUGEL capsule with malic acid, CoQ10, MSM, and COX-II Inhibitors, a good start for better health.

So what can you do from the inside to ease pain and possibly overcome this condition. Using natural fibromyalgia treatments starts with supplementation.Several herbal and mineral supplements can be helpful for fibromyalgia sufferers.
1. 50 -100 mg of Coenzyme Q10 ( CoQ10) .Q10 helps to increase energy levels , boosts the immune system and provides disease fighting antioxidant activity.
2. Ginkgo Biloba . An extract widely used in Europe for anxiety, concentration,confusion,depression,and headaches.Theses symptoms seem to go along with fibromyalgia.Be aware if you have a bleeding disorder or are going to have surgery and are taking a blood thinner such a s Warfarin(Coumandin) , do not take this.
3.Fish oil. 3-5 capsules a day is recommended or 1 tsp. of flax seed oil per day providing you do not include enough cold water fish , like salmon or halibut in your daily diet.You get excellent sources of omega 3 fatty acids from these.

If the recent rash of prescription drug commercials that have bombarded our television screens has taught us anything it’s that prescription drugs are not for everyone. No matter the product or the ailment it professes to treat, there’s always a list of side effects a mile long that’s tacked on at the end. In many cases, it’s up to the individual to decide what’s worse: the original malady or the side effects resulting from prescription meds. The answer to that question isn’t always cut and dried.
Luckily, natural health remedies are available as alternatives from the same old mainstream swill. The ingredients of these diabetes, fibromyalgia and hypertension treatments have been trusted for years, and they contain no risky artificial contaminants. Different treatments are more effective for different people, and it’s impossible to guarantee the potency of one approach over another. Generally speaking, though, all-natural is the safe, effective route.

Lazarev, a Russian scientist, was the first person to keep meticulous records indicating plants that have characteristics of what he later named “adaptogens.”

Turmeric a common household spice, which gives mustard its color has many healing properties. There has been some research reporting that turmeric (in combination with vitamin D) helps fight Alzheimer’s disease and obesity (by suppressing growth of fatty tissue) and is soothing to skin burned by radiation therapy.
Recently there has been reports of turmerics natural antibiotics properties in strenghtening digestion and intestinal flora. And more recenlty reports of turmeric as an alternative medicine for pain caused by inflammation. Here are some other benefits as well.
- Turmerics powerful bright yellow powder has anti-inflammatory components safely reduce the pain and swelling of arthritis,fibromyalgia , carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis and tendonitis.
- Anti-inflammatory benefits also extend to gastrointestinal (GI) problems, such as gastric ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis. Turmeric’s effectiveness against liver disease is being studied as well.
- It’s many potent antioxidants help squelch unstable oxygen molecules that can otherwise run amok, damaging cells and opening the door to dangerous diseases, such as cancer. Curcumin, an active compound of turmeric, has been shown to modify more than 250 oncogenes and processes that trigger cancer tumorigenesis, proliferation and metastasis.
- Turmeric can help curb excessive immune responses that characterize conditions such as allergies, asthma and possibly even multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease.
- Studies suggest a still wider range of healing benefits, such as lowering cholesterol, preventing atherosclerosis and protecting the liver against chemicals and viral damage.
- No significant toxicity has been reported following either acute or chronic administration of turmeric extracts at standard doses. The FDA classified turmeric among substances ‘generally recognized as safe’. Phase I clinical trials have shown that curcumin is safe even at high doses (12 g/day) for 3 months in humans but exhibit poor bioavailability. Major reasons contributing to the low plasma and tissue levels of curcumin appear to be due to poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and rapid systemic elimination. Several commercially available supplements provide higher doses and bioavailability of purified curcumin.
