While the cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, researchers have found pain-processing abnormalities in the spines and brain stems of some people with fibromyalgia.

People with fibromyalgia may experience reductions in their symptoms by eliminating one or more foods from their diet. Following the eating plan seems to help, however, it is quite clear that most people with this disease will not completely relieve their symptoms, even if the follow they it perfectly. This is because nearly every person I have seen with fibromyalgia suffers from an underlying emotional component.

Bioenergetic normalization of previous emotional traumas is the single most effective treatment I know of for fibromyalgia at this time. There are many different techniques that can be used here, but EFT is my current favorite.

My free EFT manual can be used in conjunction with my video seminar or by itself to learn this effective technique. For serious emotional issues, it is best to consult one of the many trained EFT therapists who can offer you more extensive assistance.

In my video, I have an excellent example of a woman with debilitating fibromyalgia. She had been hit by a truck, which triggered the crippling disease. After our EFT session, not only were her physical ailments completely relieved, but she was able to forgive the truck driver who hit her.

If you are a health care practitioner and are interested in attending one of the top energy training events of 2002, you will want to be certain to come to Chicago in September for Dr. Larry Nims's BSFF course.

NST is also another powerful tool that works synergistically with the eating plan and energetic balancing. It is a series of gentle massage like techniques that have profound and amazing muscle normalization effects. Unlike massage, or most manipulation or adjustments, the benefits seem to be long lasting; generally 3-10 minute sessions are all it takes for permanent relief - assuming one has addressed problem foods and previous emotional traumas.

You can go to our NST therapist page to find a therapist close to you. If you are a health care practitioner you may want to consider attending the NST course in Chicago this fall.

Exercise is also a key to good health for all of us. However, most people with fibromyalgia have so much muscle pain that they cannot exercise. NST is one technique that can reduce the pain so a person can exercise.

Last year I spoke at the National Fibromyalgia Conference. I discussed the results my staff and I have been achieving with NST. I have never seen any modality work so well for fibromyalgia. We have had excellent results with the therapy.
