Between us we have found a way to get well from Fibro, using all natural stuff,

but the things we are using are quit unconventional, and it does take a fair

amount of time to explain it all. If you are able to come back here more or less

every day for an hour or so, within 6 weeks you will have all the information

you need to get yourself well from all this. I really wish I could tell you in

just a few emails how we are all getting well from all this but it really does

take 6 weeks for us to cover everything

Hello

So sorry to hear about you health issues. stress can do a number on so many

areas of our health. Your B12 should be at least 500 to 600 for me I can not

seem to take the pills even the ones that dissolve. I give myself b12 shots

weekly and it took a few months to feel a difference. Try the dissolve ones. If

you b12 is still low you can ask for the shots. Its easy to give to yourself and

cheaper than going in weekly to have your doctor to it.

Please stay away from carbs and soy products for your thyroid issues.

Have your heard of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar?

Ciao-

Ange

I understand exactly how you feel. I spent 12 years feeling so exhausted and in

so much pain I could not hardly function. The past 5 years were hell. I spent

almost 2 years pretty much bed ridden. A year ago I cut out dairy and added some

herbal supplements. Then I cut back on sugar and gluten products slowly. Until

the past week I had not completely cut out gluten or sugar. I started taking

extra virgin sold pressed coconut oil almost 3 months ago. Now my pain has

reduced 75% and my energy has increased 100% from where it had been. I wake up

without the all over body pain and if it was not for my herniated discs in my

back and neck problems I would be pain free. Fibro ruled my life for over a

decade and diet has given me my life back. I have researched for two years on

FMS and the common denominator between all of the people who are better now is

getting rid of processed food in their diets. Processed foods make everyone

sicker and disease prone. Whole foods like vegetables, meats, coconut oil, and

celtic sea salt heal our bodies. When I was first diagnosed and I seen groups

like this one I thought they were trying to sell me something and scammers. I

would not even sign up for them but through my own research I realized that you

can overcome FMS. Most doctors are clueless to yeast overgrowth and they do not

treat thyroid disease correctly. Virgin coconut oil actually has been proven to

raise the body temperature, increase energy, and enable people to not only get

off of thyroid medications but lose weight. I am overweight more than I would

like to admit but since I started the coconut oil and cut out all the processed

foods I have lost 30 pounds. It is literally falling off of me without effort

after years and years of struggle. I had a total hysterectomy at age 30 and I

have not had my hormones straight since then. Trying to lose weight was a losing

battle for me. I was so miserable and literally so sick my husband was worried I

would die. All of the medication the doctor gave me for FMS was making me so ill

I could not function. I quit all the medications a couple years ago except pain

medication. Now with this diet I have cut back my pain medication 50%. Please

read the book by Bruce Fife, " The Coconut Oil Miracle " . Also, if you look on Bee

Wilder's site at the articles or even on-line you can find out more on coconut

oil and celtic sea salt which are both essentials to good health.

I hope this helped. Joanne is a wealth of information and I am new to all of

this compared to some of the group member, whom are wonderful people and eager

to help others get well.

[Guest guest]

thank you for the valuable advice angie - can i order B12 shots or do I have to

get them through a doctor?

And yes - I can get Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar - what do I do with it?

If

and
