New Recommendations for Fibromyalgia
The 2016
recommendations for fibromyalgia treatment are a step in the wrong
direction. We can do a lot better in the
field of alternative medicine. The first
guideline is giving the patient non-drug information and begin an exercise
program with or without physical therapy.
Then three subgroups are identified:
those with anxiety and depression are treated with psychological
therapies, those primarily with pain are given medications, and those with
severe disability are treated with a comprehensive rehab program. Every day, patients come to us having failed
with this expensive and inadequate approach.
We utilize such therapies as B12 injections, low-dose naltrexone, food
allergy desensitization, trigger point injections, correcting yeast imbalance,
biofeedback, acupuncture, herbal preparations, and intravenous vitamin C, with
more effective and less expensive results.
