As we all know there are several companies out there advertising for things that will help and in some cases even cure Fibro. Many are very expensive. The supplements I am looking at taking cost over $150.00 for a 30 day supply. I am interested in hearing about supplements and other things that have worked or just as important- those things that have been tried that have not worked.

I am also interested in hearing about experiences with acupuncture and hypnotherapy

Thanks-

I have tried and tried supplements. To no avail. I can't tell you how much money I've wasted. that being said, I do believe that there are nutrients and such that our bodies need to heal, and that some of them may be legit. Especially for those of us who take meds, you need to supplement with herbal stuff to boost your body. As for a "cure all", no. I used body balance....they wanted me to take $500 of it a month for 2 months, and then cut down, they swore it would "cure" me.... I told them I have two kids to feed and it's not feesable....they got very crappy with me about it. Now I've started taking mona vie, it's all natural fruits and antioxidents. I know many lyme folks who take xango and love it, BUT they are still sick.it's trial and error. THe money I don't spend at the docs and on scripts I spend on supplements. I have also tried massage therapy, and cranio sacral, and myofacial work, the schedule for it all killed me more than my diseases. Oh yeah, chiropractics and PT too. I'm sure I'm leaving something out...I have treid much. I love your question and can't wait to hear others answers, as if there is something out there that works, I'm all for it.

I did read something about ph levels of our bodies, that we are too acidic, and if you can get your body alkeline enough, EVERYTHING will get better, not just for fibro patients.

Garlic is supposed to be one of the things for you, but I also have lyme and scared to take it, with lyme you herx....get worse before better, and I'm already herxing hard from the antibiotics, and my looser of a lyme doc told me to double my mds to get thru, when I told him I was running out, he said he doesn't write for narcotics or stuff like xanax!!!!! to go to my regular doc....who btw doesn't know I"m prusuing lyme, as far as he is concerned, I DO NOT have it. Tell me why mentally I am starting to feel better then? not so much psychical stuff, but now I can actually have a conversation. So now I'm herxing again because I"m on a new antibiotic for bronchitis, and have no meds to hlep get thru it... life is grand. I was talking to a friends with MS and she just said it feels like she's fighting so hard for her meds, and it's ridiculous.

LOL bshapiro... like I said, I've spent thousands on supplements, and I am still sick as ever. I do though believe some are important to take to help with general health, but nothing will "cure" us

I get so tickled sometime, at you guys sometime.

I have experimented with supplements. A few different combos... But, I think there is something we are missing, not a cure.. but maybe a mixture to alleviate the some of the symptoms. besides we need them anyway, its hard to eat on that dang pyramid! lol

For some reason I couldnt get on the curamin site.

The other stuff looks like mostly an exotic fruit drink.

Nanaof4 can you tell me what is in the products that you think help the most? Are there anti inflammatory components or something?

I hate to sound critical but I have tried many supplements in my younger days and wasted a lot of money, as have a lot of my friends, we were all trying to get more energy, more healthy. I think a balanced diet with a multivitamin is best.

But hey if it works for you, thats great!

Do you sell the exfuse?

Sure Debbie, no problem. I know what you mean about having tried so many!

For the CURAMIN try this;

http://coastherbal.com/product_info.php/products_id/811

This is an ALL NATURAL anti-inflammatory and powerful pain reliever. It usually works within 40 minutes..pain is gone

The Exfuze Seven+ is an amazing botanical extract juice that YES has got "exotic fruits" in it. THese have amazing nurients in them and are full of glyconutrients and antioxidants. They are all 100% all natural, NO PRESERVATIVE CHEMICALS. One of the ingredients in it...Sea Buckthorn has as much B12 as LIVER!

I will include more about it in a post below. Girl, I did my homework on this one!!!

AND NO as I already stated in my original post...I do NOT sell it

LOL, I have seen you post several times on other posts you dont sell it... sorry about asking that again.

LIVER-YUK! For the curamin how long does the pain stay away for you? That sounds interesting. If I could get some pain relief that would be awesome;

Independantly, these nutrients are backed by literally 1000's of scientific studies. Just try googling each nutrient. Time and agian these have been found to have great impacts on people's health.

*Cleanses and "detoxes" the body

*Offers increased energy and stamina

*Contains fatty acids called Omega 6 & 9-research studies prove that these 2 fatty acids help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

*Possesses anti-inflammatory benefits

*Promotes quicker healing

*Supports the immune system

* Fights damaging free radical

*Aids cellular regeneration

*Contains vital amino acids along with essential trace minerals which aid

in muscle regeneration and contractions.

*Supports blood glucose control

*Promotes healthy joint mobility and function

*Aids appetite control

*Improves mental focus

*May help regulate emotions and calm nerves

*Enhances gastrointestinal health

*Supports the cardiovascular system and good circulation

The nutritional value of Seven+ includes;

*Xanthones, Phytochemicals, Antioxidants, Vitamins A, B & complex C, E

Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Amino acids, Iodine, Zinc, Trace minerals, Beta carotine, Lycopene. Omega's 3,6,7,&9, Folic acid,

Each ingredient is either organically grown or wild-crafted for optimum purity and potency.

Ok so there you have the results of my homework. That any of you can get by researching each of the ingredients that are contained in Exfuze.

If you go to www.iexfuze.net/4RHeath you can learn all about it and also take a product tour. They also let you try it for FREE! THey have a 7day challenge that you only pay S&H and then when you get that it comes with a gift card for a FREE MONTHS worth as well (pay S&H) after that it's only $35 a month.

I saw results in my first 3 days, it took my husband 3 1/2 weeks. They say allow up to 6 months for results because it takes that long to communicate with your cells. But, EVERYONE that I have turned on to this stuff so far has seen results within 4 weeks!

Hey, they let you try it for FREE. So try it see if it works for you.

Everybody is different but so far all my family and friends are getting great results.

NO I DO NOT SELL IT!!!! nor do my friends or family!
