Is fibromyalgia a disease, syndrome, or symptom?
The truth is all disease is a symptom of something going on inside the body. Some part of the bodily system is being disrupted affecting the entire systems as a whole. Our bodies are complex ORGANisms. Kind of like a city that has small functions that keep the city working as a whole, our bodies work the same way.
We want our family and friends to understand us. It is human nature to want to be heard and understood. So what do you do when you have someone that you care about or someone that you have to deal with on a daily bases that does not believe you are sick?
Our perspective on things can make our experience a proactive positive experience or a victimizing negative experience. As I continue to navigate my personal healing journey my perspective plays a huge role in the daily choices I make towards wellness. When you are really in the midst of chronic illness and very symptomatic it can be a challenge to change your perspective but it is of the utmost importance. You can not begin to heal the body when the mind is stuck in a illness energy. So how do you shift your perception to which will make the cells in your body dance to the healing tune? Here are some tips from my own personal experience.
In this short video I talk about 8 ways to deal with fibromyalgia pain without the side effects of prescribed medication.
Most of us reading this blog post live in a society of instant gratification and do not take the time (because of social conditioning) to look deeper into our physical and emotional unbalances. We have been conditioned to go to a doctor that tells us what to do after spending less than 30 mins with us. They do not ask the important questions that can get to the root cause of any symptom or what we sometimes call DisEASE within the body.
The reason chronic illness and modern medicine do not marry well together is that each persons trigger or underlying cause of their bodies discomfort or condition is unique. The underlying cause is never addressed. Chronic illness is not a one size fits all “fix”. Modern day doctors throw everyone into one box and treat everyone the same once they are labeled with any condition. It does not help that they are controlled by insurance companies and their choices of treatment are manipulated by the greedy pharmaceutical companies that are only out to make money. This has caused a society (in most regions not all) of chronic illness at epidemic proportions and a decline of health in all aspects. Physically, Emotionally, and spiritually. Continue reading

This is the introduction the the new “You are what you eat” section on FibroTV.com. I hope to get as many people as possible interested in making health choices when in comes to food and get as many people as healthy as possible. You deserve to do this! You are worth it! I believe in you!
This is a smoothie I do at least 4 days a week. Take note that you do not have to use all the same ingredients as I do as some fruits and veggies are only available seasonally. You do want to balance out the glucose that is in the fruits with some kind of green veggie and/or protein so that your blood sugar does not spike. Proteins include nuts and seeds or even a good protein powder will due. (Just be careful with protein powders as some have processed ingredients in them read the label before buying) As I stated in the video try to get organic but if it is not available or you can not afford it conventionally grown food is better than eating less nutritionally dense foods. To wash some of the pesticides off of non organic foods you can make a simple solution to clean them.

Your adrenal glands are endocrine glands that are responsible for releasing hormones (cortisol and adrenaline) in response to stress on your body. If your adrenals are overtaxed due to an overabundance of emotional, physical and mental stress, it can lead to a condition known as adrenal fatigue.
As someone that was on several medications for several years and cannabis oil 3 years I stressed out my adrenals and developed adrenal fatigue. Arenal fatigue is a decrease in the adrenal glands’ ability to carry out this normal function. It is commonly caused by chronic stress from any source (including emotional, physical, mental, or environmental) that exceeds the body’s capacity to adjust appropriately to the demands placed on it by the stress. Medications and chronic illness put a lot of stress on the body and my guess is most people with chronic illness do have some form of adrenal fatigue.
