Hurting Everywhere?????

I would like to take a few minutes of your time and educate you on one of the fastest growing diagnosis facing the United States. This disease is known as fibromyalgia..... More than likely you or someone you know has been diagnosed with this condition. Fibromyalgia is a condition that is characterized by wide spread pain affecting the trunk, upper and lower extremities for a period of time lasting at least 3 months and may have reoccurrences. For many years, doctors would not even recognize this as a real diagnosis (they would say it is all in your head) because the only way to diagnosis it is the history. There are no lab test, x-rays, or genetic testing that can accurately diagnosis this condition.

Are you asking yourself "why is a disease that has not been widely accepted for years now one of the fastest growing diagnosis in the country?". I will tell you why; the drug companies have found a drug to treat some of the symptoms of fibromyalgia. The drug that they are using for fibromyalgia is a drug that was originally designed for another condition. The drug companies found a new niche market to which they can now poison more people. I say this because far to often in western medicine we treat a symptom and do not try to find the cause of the problem. The muscle relaxers, pain killers, anti-depressants and Lyrica do nothing to fight what is causing people to feel terrible. All these drugs do is deaden the information that your body is trying to communicate to the brain.

I have spent 8 years researching and working on treatments that are effective for fibromyalgia. I have found that there are multiple reasons for the symptoms of fibromyalgia and if let untreated will cause more significant health issues. This leads me to diagnosing it as a Multi system Dysfunction Syndrome to my knowledge I am the only one that presents fibromylagia in this manor. There are four major systems that are effected with MDS (Multi system Dysfunction Syndrome) they are:

1. Digestion

2. Sleeping

3. Infection

4. Endocrine

I have put together a 45 minute seminar that discusses all of this in detail. This is not the time or place to get detailed. The point of this entry is to first get you asking questions as to why are there more diagnosis's now is it because the drug companies are driving a market of suffering. Second is treating a symptom better that treating the cause of the symptoms. Finally do you really want other (new) health issues to occure because you are ignoring the warning signs that your body is trying to give you. The best advice I can give anyone is to get educated on a specific problem and do not take one persons opinion, research it until you are satisfied because you are the only person that deals with that problem everyday. Please do not ever hesitate to ask me questions I don't know everything, but more than likely I know someone that can help. I want every single person to live the pain free healthy life that they deserve. Your Partner In Health Dr. Nathan
