What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease in which pain, fatigue, depression-anxiety and sleep disorders lasting more than three months come together.

It is known as muscle rheumatism and the pain is mostly in the head, neck and back, but it can be seen in any part of the musculoskeletal system and is mobile. Apart from these basic complaints, digestive system problems such as indigestion, gas, constipation, diarrhea, functional problems such as dizziness, tinnitus, blood pressure problems, allergic problems such as urticaria, allergic rhinitis, asthma, food sensitivities, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, infertility, hormonal problems such as painful and irregular menstruation in women, circulatory problems such as cellulite venous edema can also be seen.

Why does it happen?

According to the classical medical approach, the exact cause is unknown and is thought to be caused by some genetic, environmental, nervous and hormonal system abnormalities. According to this approach, it is known that there is no cure and antidepressants, painkillers and physical therapy recommendations are tried to partially alleviate the distress of patients. However, fibromyalgia is not only a muscular rheumatism but also a functional disease in which the body’s working order is fundamentally disrupted.

It is the autonomic nervous system that keeps the entire body in balance. This system records all the stresses such as illness, accidents, trauma, psychological stresses, nutritional disorders, etc. that the person has experienced since birth and tries to balance these stresses. When the records become too full, the system can no longer balance the system and many symptoms begin to appear.

We call the area in which all cells reside and function as connective tissue. The filling of the connective tissue with toxic loads and the inability to discharge these loads through the lymphatic system are also very important in the formation and progression of the disease. Therefore, treatment depends on rebuilding this disrupted order and this is possible with regulatory medicine.

How is it diagnosed?

There is no special diagnostic method. Since it is a functional disease, all laboratory and imaging tests are normal. The diagnosis is made when the above-mentioned complaints have been present in the patient for more than 3 months and 11 of the 18 previously defined points on the body are found to be sensitive.

We call the problems that arise due to the deterioration in the body’s operating system functional problems and it is not possible to detect them with physical examination methods such as laboratory and radiological imaging as in fibromyalgia. However, the HRV (Heart Rate Variability) method, which can measure this operating system, and the examination technique (Applied Kinesiology (AK)), which is based on the measurement of power changes in energy-powered muscles, can determine which mechanisms are impaired and what kind of stresses accumulate in the body.

How is it treated?

According to conventional medicine, antidepressants, anti-epileptic, painkillers, physical therapy, exercise and cognitive therapies are recommended. It is stated that there is no definitive solution, that complaints can only be partially reduced, and that it is necessary to learn to live with this disease.

According to the regulatory medicine approach, fibromyalgia is a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system and the lymphatic network and chronic toxic overload of the connective tissue. Regulation of autonomic nervous system function and lymphatic drainage is only possible with neural therapy. The connective tissue needs to be cleansed. For this purpose, oral or intravenous supplements are administered to clear the acid load and heavy metal load.

In addition, after analyzing food sensitivities and missing vitamins and minerals, a personalized nutrition program should be given and supplemented with nutritional supplements.

Other traditional and complementary methods such as ozone, cupping, leeches, homeopathy, phytotherapy, acupuncture, manual therapy, acupuncture, manual therapy and other traditional and complementary methods applied empirically (randomly) without an objective measurement and evaluation of the patient’s mechanism disorders and without a holistic-systemic approach may provide partial benefits but are unlikely to provide a fundamental healing. However, when they are included in holistic treatment as a result of objective measurements, their contribution is not small. Nutritional supplements used only on hearsay can sometimes even cause harm.

Scientific Studies from our clinic

In a clinical study of 38 fibromyalgia patients, 76% of the patients improved after 4 weeks of treatment. 21% showed partial improvement and only 3% did not improve.

According to the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), which is used in international studies to measure the degree to which patients are clinically affected by the disease, the average improvement score in many international studies to measure the level of improvement in patients treated with drugs was 12, while our improvement score was 32 after only four weeks of treatment.

In another study of 115 patients with fibromyalgia, 87% of the patients with severe fibromyalgia regressed to mild fibromyalgia, 83% of the patients improved significantly (improvement above FIQ=20 points) and 65% recovered completely after four weeks of treatment.
