Hi,
To all who are interested in addressing fibromyalgia with the Zone, don't forget that is of the utmost importance to supplement with an ultra-refined fish oil concentrate meeting certain specifications. For more info on dosage for fibromyalgia, go to drsears.com and search fibromyalgia. While you’re on drsears.com you might also want to print the Anti-Inflammatory Medicine Monograph (found in Zone Resources) to show to your doctors. My doctor was very impressed with it.

Nicole, I agree. Most doctors are only focused on symptom management, and so they are just too quick to prescribe pain medication to releive symptoms, along with antidepressants, and other drugs. But, what I found from listening to this speaker was that the symptoms could be greatly reduced by managing with diet and fish oil.
But, just doing the Zone is not enough, it would require high level of adherence to the Zone (as I said in the previous post) with very little processed foods or grains.
And, of course, the fish oil. The doctor that I heard speaking on the topic did not recommend a specific brand or dose, I think that would have to be quite individualized.
I have also seen some forum members filter through here over the years, who were following the Zone to help control conditions such as fibromyalgia. |

| Thank you both (again!). I'll forward this info on to my mother so she can talk to her doctor; hopefully they'll both be open to it. She's tried every drug under the sun to try to manage it, so maybe taking this approach as well can take the edge off of it. |
