Effective Treatment for Fibromyalgia

Featured on Oprah Winfrey Show 'You Don't Have to Live With That Agony!'

On a recent show, Oprah Winfrey interview Dr. Mehmet Oz, a

cardiothoracic surgeon whose groundbreaking work has been helping many

people who suffer from this condition.

Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic painful condition, primarily occurring

in women, characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, and fatigue,

and accompanied by tender points at defined locations, often associated

with a non-restorative sleep pattern. It can be extremely debilitating,

and difficult to treat as the diagnosis is often based on the symptoms.

The cause is typically unknown.

As he stated, " Our SHIN protocol, published in the Journal of Chronic

Fatigue Syndrome (8:2, 2001), was found to improve the quality of life

for patients by an average of 75 percent at 3 months and 90 percent at 2

years, with 90 percent of the study patients improving, " he said. SHIN

focuses on four vital areas of health: Sleep; Hormonal deficiencies

(despite normal blood tests); Infections/Inflammation; and Nutritional

deficiencies. The program has helped thousands of patients get their

lives back after years of devastating pain and energy depletion.

A recent study by Dr. Teitelbaum published in the Journal of Alternative

and Complementary Medicine (12:9, 2006) showed that a simple 5-carbon

sugar called ribose (5000 mg 3x/day) increased energy in fibromyalgia

patients by an average of 45 percent after only two weeks.
