Nutritional Supplements For Fibromyalgia

Posted Mar 21 2009 3:20pm
Last summer I was chatting with Jana about how she was living with fibromyalgia daily. The fibromyalgia pain was so bad Jana wasn't able to get out the way she wanted and needed to.

She was already watching the food she ate and tried to eat right. She decided to test this new whole food multivitamin just to see if she felt any different.

Here's her question from July Pops tester group to the Pops tester board:

"Since I have been taking the Pops I have had a huge decrease in muscular pain with my fibromyalgia.

Would this be due to the increase in nutrition?

Will our muscles respond negatively to lack of proper nutrition?

Also, what kind of additional nutritional helps do we need in addition to the Pops? -
Thanks- Jana Zaloum

Dr. Heidi's response:

"Yes, our bodies - including our muscles - respond well to good nutrition, using it to heal."

"The Pops have a number of ingredients that could take the credit for the decrease in your muscle pain."

1. The 7 metabolic enhancers in the Purples help your body better absorb the nutrients in the food you eat, as well as the nutrients in the Pops themselves. So, even if you did not make any changes in your diet, you are probably extracting more out of what you eat than you did before, including the minerals magnesium and manganese that improve energy production in muscle cells, relieving fibromyalgia pain.

"The metabolic enhancers also increase the body's energy production. This causes the muscle cells to expand rather than contract, easing the pain."

2. "A wide spectrum of antioxidants are contained in a number of Pops ingredients, including camu-camu (Vitamin C), dunaliella (beta carotene/ Vitamin A), extracts of green tea, grape seed, turmeric, alpha lipoic acid, not to mention all the berries and other fruits. Antioxidants support immune function, which causes the body to relax instead of struggle."

3. "The probiotics (with the prebiotics) in the Pops reduce yeast overgrowth which seems to be common in people with Fibromyalgia. Yeast overgrowth weakens the immune system, places additional stress on the body, which in turn causes the muscles to contract, causing pain."

4. "The protease enzymes improve absorption of protein which is neededfor tissue repair. They also reduce inflammation."

Note: Regarding nutritional help in addition to the Pops, that would depend on your biochemical profile. Do you have a nutritionist who could give you some guidance?

"Delighted that the Pops have helped you." - Best regards, Dr. Heidi.

P.S. Jana Z became a Pops subscriber and we're delighted to have her.
