Fibromyalgia vs. Computer Cleaning. Dorothy - Recovery from Fibromyalgia with Plant-based Diet.

Fibromyalgia (FM or FMS) is characterised by chronic widespread pain and allodynia (a heightened and painful response to pressure). Fibromyalgia symptoms are not restricted to pain, leading to the use of the alternative term fibromyalgia syndrome for the condition. Other symptoms include debilitating fatigue, sleep disturbance, and joint stiffness. Some people  also report difficulty with swallowing, bowel and bladder abnormalities, numbness and tingling, and cognitive dysfunction.  Fibromyalgia is frequently associated with psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety and stress-related disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder. Not all people with fibromyalgia experience all associated symptoms.

Fibromyalgia has an easy fix that is often overlooked.

After thorough research I found that Dr. John McDougall succeeded with taming Fibromyalgia through a plant based diet. His patients displayed nothing short of a miracle.  For most of them, after several years of suffering, recovery took only few weeks. 

In our Wholesome Cooking program we provide resources for people with chronic disorders, where they learn, eat and enjoy newly-acquired health with very delicious and nutritious medicine.

One such client, Dorothy, came to my cooking class. She already knew that dairy, soy and gluten-containing food caused her system to clog with excessive mucus. She suffered from mental fog, and physical weakness, as well as painful spots all over her body - all symptoms typical to Fibromyalgia patients.  She was devoid of energy, and could not continue to work as a real estate agent. She told me that it all started from a nervous breakdown resulting in a bout of painful shingles. Her body began malfunctioning, possibly due to a toxic mold, which was found in her new dwelling.

The more I listened to her story, the more it resembled one particular case with my broken computer. One day my computer reported multiple viruses, conflicting error messages and died in front of me. Instead of panicking, I decided to stay rational. After a brief examination I found a dirt- restricted fan, causing computer to overheat. Overheating was a symptom – or the information - linking me to a real problem. So, as a good, inquisitive Mom, I cleaned the fan, I power-dusted the keyboard, and, voila: it came back to life - no viruses, no problems. 

Once again: the symptoms revealed the real cause.

As Dr. John McDougall has mentioned, Fibromyalgia is caused at least in part by an unhealthy diet. By now there is extensive scientific data depicting effectiveness of a plant based diet on fibromyalgia recovery. The speed of recovery with such internal cleansing is as fast, as cleaning my computer fan from the dust. Ingestion of processed, fatty and heavily preserved food takes up tremendous amount of energy, resulting in fatigue, one of the most common symptoms of Fibromyalgia. Our “internal doctor”- immune system uses the same energy sources, and now, it is depleted. So, with such food we become unprotected against diseases. Clean food frees such energy for our protection.

Food that contains gluten, casein and soy are some of such compromising elements.

 In our Chef Color Raw classes, we learn healthy and delicious alternatives, learn how to make new food into palatable, free from harmful side effects, our medicine. Our students learn the science of nutrition, and cooking at the same time. Eating healthy foods fortify instant healing on a cellular level. 

Although it is too primitive to compare our magnificent body to a man-made computer, one can visualize the comparison. Clean your internal dust and your body will help you recover from Fibromyalgia.  Dorothy and many others enjoyed the process and reclaimed their health.
