Natural Health Alternatives

Current therapies for fibromyalgia generally include prescription medications to address symptoms. However, these medications do very little to address underlying causes, nor do they help reduce the fibrosis buildup within the muscles and the ischemic pain that can result from having this condition.

Proteolytic enzymes break down excess fibrin in your circulatory system and in other connective tissue, such as your muscles - helping to remove the meshwork that slows blood flow to the cells. These enzymes also bring nutrients and oxygen-rich blood that remove the metabolic waste produced by inflammation and excess fibrin. This alone can bring tremendous relief to fibromyalgia sufferers.

Systemic enzyme therapy offers the same benefits as taking muscle relaxers with pain relievers.  Systemic enzyme therapy is in no way an immediate replacement for what are now being classified as coping drugs.  The major benefit of systemic enzyme supplementation with your current prescribed medication protocol is two fold.  Prescription medication will enable the body to temporarily ignore pain and irritation, while the enzymes are synergistically working to do the same.

The natural fibromyalgia treatments with enzymes are also stimulating the immune system, and increasing cellular repair naturally. In as little as a few days,  most Fibromyalgia  sufferers may begin to wean themselves from the prescribed medication.  At this time, enzyme concentrations will be high enough in the blood stream that the patient may feel medication is no longer needed.  In some extreme cases pain medication is still needed, as the condition is so severe.  In these rare cases, systemic enzymes actually improve the effectiveness of these drugs and sufferers are noticeably worsted if systemic enzyme therapy is not consistent.

Researchers are beginning to believe that there is a strong autoimmune component connected to fibromyalgia syndrome. Interestingly enough, systemic enzyme therapy has an excellent track record regarding the treatment of various autoimmune diseases. In addition to reducing inflammation, regulating immunity, and reducing excess fibin, serrapeptase has a profound ability to reduce pain due to its ability to block the release of pain-inducing amines from inflamed tissues.
