Healing
of Fibromyalgia
Multiple
Severe Painful Spots
What
is Fibromyalgia (FM)?
Fibromyalgia
is a common non-fatal condition that causes pain and fatigue in muscles,
ligaments and tendons. Fibromyalgia affects 8 to 10 million Americans. About 80%
of suffers are women. Fibromyalgia tends to appear following chronic illness,
major surgery or an injury that is slow to resolve. Currently, fibromyalgia
cannot be diagnosed by laboratory tests. However, upon physical examination, the
fibromyalgia patient will be sensitive to pressure at many tender points on
their body. Some families may have a predispostion to developing fibromyalgia.

Causes
of Fibromyalgia in Chinese Medicine
The
cause of fibromyalgia is unknown according to today’s medical research. From the view of
Chinese medicine, though, all fibromyalgia patients have water retention (fullness of
lower abdomen, etc.) deep in the body. This water retention slows down
the blood flow, which is called water stagnation. The
patient’s
tongue frequently is either oversized or curved on both edges.
The chronic water stagnation will lead to heat in the body, which is manifested
as increased thirst. The shortness of breath is a sign of low kidney energy.
Because the pathologic energy runs very deep in the patient’s body, it is very
possible to pass it down to the next generation.
Prevention
– Living a Better Life Style
As
prevention is the best medicine, patients can prevent or lessen the symptoms of
fibromyalgia by:
²
Practicing relaxed exercises like Tai Chi
|
²
Going to bed at a reasonable time – by 10:00 pm
|
²
Avoiding foods, cold in nature
|
²
Avoiding deep fried, grilled or spicy foods
|
²
Avoiding stressful activities
|
²
Avoiding pregnancy before fibromyalgia
is healed
|

stage of the fibromyalgia.
A
Case among Many Successful Stories
Ms. F. was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in Feb. 2001. She came to
Eastern Healing Center on Sep. 18, 2002. She also complained about heavy arms,
water retention at lower abdomen, increased thirst, shortness of breath,
abdominal pain, headaches, frequent urination, depression, and a faulty memory.
Upon examination, her tongue appeared cracked and red and both feet were very
yellow.
During the first healing session, she felt that energy (qi) was sent to her Dan-Tian
strongly. Then she felt that her arms were lighter than before and more
energetic for a few days. After one healing process, she felt very energized
without fatigue and her arms hadn’t been numb for 2 weeks. Overall pain was
reduced by half. Her frequency of urination was reduced to 6 per day, 3 times
fewer than before. Sensation of fullness was reduced by 50%. The yellow color of
her feet was gone completely. Most importantly, her sense of well-being was
restored. She had more energy for daily physical therapy exercises, and to accomplish
every day tasks.
Ms. F. is continuing her healing processes after her first healing process at
Eastern Healing Center.
