Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia
is an autoimmune disorder of soft tissue. (By contrast, arthritis
occurs in the joints.) Symptoms include general body pain, in some
parts worse than others, usually brought on by short periods of
exercise.
The
pain is ubiquitous and continuous. It interrupts sleep patterns
so that the fourth stage of sleep is never attained, and thus the
body cannot rejuvenate and heal.
Fibromyalgia
is an acid condition in which the liver is toxic. The best natural
treatment for fibromyalgia are omega-3 fats such as flax seed, proteolytic
enzymes such as bromelain and pancreatin and MSN.
According
to UCLA researcher, Ronald Lawrence, M.D. Ph. D., supplementation
with MSM oftern offers a breakthrough in the treatment of fibromyalgia.
Sulfurzyme has MSM in it. (MSM: How it controls pain.) When fluid
pressure inside cells is higher than outside, pain is experienced.
The MSM found in Sulfurzme equalizes fluid pressure inside cells
by affecting the protein envelope of the cell so that water transfers
freely in and out.

Testimonials
and Healing Stories
I
am a 47 year old female. For the past 10 years I had been riddled
with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia... and to top it off have
had a compromised immune system. I was bedridden on and off several
times during the past 10 years and when I was not in bed, had to
use a cane to steady myself when walking. I was on a ton of medication
that got rid of the pain, but made me lose track of the days, months
and years. I missed out on a good portion of my young son's life
(then 10 when this all began) as well as had to give up all of my
activities that I loved - walking, skiing, hiking with my dogs,
kayaking. I was sick and tired all the time. I wanted to die if
living the rest of my life was going to be like this. The medical
profession did not give me much hope for improvement. Then, in 2002
I found out about the Young Living oils PanAway and Aroma Siez and
started using them. I was able to wean myself off of all of my pain
killers in about 3 months. I began using other oils (Joy, Peace
& Calming, Thieves) and noticed a positive change in my emotional
state and was able to stop using anti-depressants. I started to
feel better physically and emotionally!
BEFORE:
December 20, 2002. 165 lbs. "Embarrassed and disgusted with my weight,
my demeanor, and my appearance" AFTER: September 2003. "130 lbs
with lots of energy".
My
next adventure was with NingXia Red in 2003. I was told because
I was so run down I would need to take it 3-6 times per day to start.
After about a week or two I noticed I woke up feeling refreshed
and with energy. I started to take daily walks in my neighborhood
and within a week I was walking the full 2 mile loop! I hadn't been
able to walk to my mailbox for 10 years and now I was walking 2
miles! Then I started doing light hikes with my husband - we cried
together the first time I was able to hike to a mountain lake I
had always wanted to see. By the end of last summer I was hiking
10 miles 3 times a week. I even was able to go out kayaking with
my husband at a nearby lake. Needless to say, I have NingXia Red
on my Autoship program! Now, in 2004 I have been able to start cross-country
skiing again and have been out at least 3 times a week and can go
from 6-10 miles at a very good speed! I have lost 35 pounds in the
last 8 months and have lots of energy. I feel like a NEW person.
January
22, 2004 "Cross Country Skiing at 125 lbs. 7 mile trail trip. My
face shows tons of energy and a new "zest" for living! At this point
I have lost 40 lbs in just under 10 months, am a perfect weight
for myself and am now working on building up my muscles!" As far
as my immune system... before NingXia Red, I was sick with everything
and anything that went around - and unusual things as well. Now
that I am on a daily regimen of NingXia Red, I rarely get sick and
when I did get the flu this year, it was gone in 24 hours - not
days/weeks like those around me. My husband, to whom I have been
married just over 5 years, has never seen me well/healthy and has
had to physically take care of me almost every day. He thinks Young
Living creates miracles. He is overjoyed! My relationship with my
son (now 20) is beginning to improve as well now that I am well
and we can talk about my PAST health problems and how it impacted
his childhood. My family is all making up for lost time. While I
use several Young Living products on a daily basis, I believe it
is the NingXia Red that has put me over the top by helping to strengthen
my immune system and give me the energy to face each new day with
a positive spirit.
Thank
you Young Living!

I
have had fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome,
myalgic encephalomyelitis since 1982 (www.fms-help.com). Over the
past 25 years, I've found various ways to manage the sleep disorder,
pain, fatigue, muscle stiffness and depression. Several essential
oils help me - most remarkably Peace and Calming for fibro fog (brain
fog). It's hard to describe to those who don't have this illness,
but there are times when my head feels like it is exploding and
my brain is on fire. This is accompanied by utterly debilitating
fatigue and a bodily misery that is unexplainable and almost unendurable.
Cognitive (mental) tasks are hopeless while these symptoms are going
on. It is nothing like a normal headache, a migraine, or a sinus
headache. Meds won't touch it. Rest doesn't help. It can come out
of nowhere and last for days. The only thing that relieves this
state of misery for me is Peace and Calming! I put 4-5 drops in
the palm of my hand and lie down (More like collapsing when I am
in this debilitated state). I apply Peace and Calming to my temples
and brain stem. I rub the rest into my palms, place them over my
nose and inhale deeply several times. Then I move my hands gently
over my face (avoid eyes), shoulders and body, applying the oil
like a veil. The horrible sensation in my head and the torturous
fatigue is gone in about 10 minutes and I am able to think and function
again! It is miraculous! What a blessing! Peace and Calming also
helps my travel fatigue while riding in a car. I have to wear dark
sunglasses to keep my brain from becoming overloaded and shutting
down from the constantly moving images entering my field of vision.
(CFIDS/ME is characterized by damage to the central nervous system--the
brain--which results in dysfunctions and damage to many of the body's
vital systems and a loss of normal internal homeostasis.) I put
a few drops of Peace and Calming on a cotton ball and place it in
the A/C vent in my car. Amazingly, my mental and physical fatigue
dissipates. My only theory as to why Peace and Calming helps is
because it affects the limbic portion of the brain through the olfactory
(sense of smell) system. Researchers are investigating the possibility
that a malfunctioning hypothalamus gland in the brain may be the
cause of FMS/CFIDS/ME. There is no known cure (magic bullet) for
this illness--scientists are not even sure of the cause, although
it may be viral. Strangely, although Peace and Calming restores
my mental function and energy when I am depleted, it also helps
me relax and calm down when my system is too hyped up. Perhaps this
oil restores or balances the function of the regulatory glands in
the brain, or maybe fights viruses that are interfering with their
function?? I don't know. I am not a doctor! I have recommended Peace
and Calming to others, and some have told me it helps them with
insomnia. Most people with FMS/CFIDS/ME suffer from a sleep disorder.
Mine is severe, requiring sleep meds for the past 20 years. Peace
and Calming helps me calm down for sleep and relax. There are other
oils that help me - Relieve It for pain, Joy for depression, Lavender
for relaxation and skin problems, Peppermint for indigestion, etc.,
but I must say that PEACE AND CALMING IS MY FAVORITE OIL SO FAR
AND ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR MY WELL-BEING.

I
suffered with Fibromyalgia for 5 years. I could not lift my grandchildren,
clean my home, the vacuum was the enemy, take long trips driving,
sleep at night, shopping was a nightmare, the pain was crippling.
The Dr. put me on Celebrex, which helped some. On a scale of 1 to
10 my pain became a 6 or 7. Then a study revealed that Celebrex
was damaging the kidneys, liver and bladder. I did not want to give
it up as it helped some. In October 2002 I attended a Young Living
informational meeting, where a woman I knew to be an upstanding
person in the community, and also suffered with Fibromyalgia, was
hugging a bottle of Sulferzyme, saying 'I will never, ever be without
my Sulferzyme again.' I ordered a bottle right then. After taking
it for 1 week I stopped taking Celebrex, after 2 weeks 80% of my
pain was gone! I now am able to toss my grandchildren around, clean
my home, take long trips, enjoy shopping, sleep better, I even do
windows. After one year I began taking both BLM and Sulferzyme daily.
On a scale of 1 to 10, my pain is now a 1! I thank God, Gary Young
and Young Living Products for changing my life! Thank you, oil-testimonials.com,
for providing me with the opportunity to share this exciting news
with others and the hope that they may be as blessed as I have been.

Two
days ago I was ill with fibromyalgia and accompanying symptoms of
extreme achiness of the spine, tendons and muscles all over. I applied
Thieves the second day because I had gone to work and did not think
I would make it through the day. I managed to get through work and
today I am not aching anymore. Whatever bug it was that started
the fibro flare was eradicated by my use of Thieves. I will use
it and my other oils religiously.
Sioux
Black
I
was introduced to Young Living Essential Oils and NingXia Red in
March 2007. I was looking for a natural way to deal with the pain
I had been suffering with fibromyalgia since 2005. I used to hurt
the worse in the morning, aching so bad I could barely move. After
the first bottle of NingXia Red I realized how much better I felt.
Then I learned of the oils for pain including Pan Away, Lemongrass
and Lavender. These all help with the deep muscle aches associated
with fibromyalgia. I learned that acidosis, the state of pH in our
bodies that is too acidic, is a starting place for many ailments,
so I chose to avoid coffee, sugar and MSG (monosodium glutamate,
a food additive). If I needed something sweet I would choose fruit,
toast with honey or nuts drizzled with real maple syrup. I also
started drinking more water, which I would add oils to, including
peppermint, lemon or grapefruit. After just 2 months of these changes
I have increased energy and a significant reduction of pain. I can
now wake in the mornings and move freely. I have also lost 16 lbs.
Many thanks to God and to the people of Young Living.

Due
to an automobile accident, I fractured my 4th lower lumbar, had
nerve damage in my neck, and three bulging discs (two ended up dehydrated)
in the cervical and thoracic area of my back. For the first three
and a half years after the accident I was in incredible amount of
pain. Migraines plagued me daily along with fibromyalgia and arthritis
pain throughout my spine. Numbness in arms and hands were caused
from nerve damage from my neck injury. Arthritic spikes forming
on my spine would eventually fuse my spine together. My appointment
(June of 2000) with the doctor was very disturbing. The doctor said
I would be in a wheelchair by the time I turned forty. The daily
migraines and back pain made life difficult, let alone adding extra
therapy and exercise to my then current regimen. I left his office
frightened and frustrated, but determined to find a solution! My
neurosurgeon discussed surgery when the nerve block injections in
my back didn't work. Exhausting many avenues of conventional medicine,
I was finally open to other avenues which could regain my health.
Then Young Living came into my life! Gary Young's personal story
gave me MUCH hope. If Gary Young could walk after spending 13
years in a wheelchair, I could stay out of one! And there began
my wonderful and amazing journey with Young Living. I began with
Sulfurzyme and a few essential oils (peppermint, RC, and wintergreen).
Within a month or so my pain was drastically reduced and migraines
were a thing of the past. Within six to eight months the pain was
GONE! My son Mikol learned the Raindrop Technique and performed
this when needed. I gained my life back... PAIN FREE! I exercise
daily and can even bend backwards! I reached the great age of FORTY
(40) in June of 2004 and in no way will I ever need a wheelchair
because of the effects of that accident! I am as healthy now as
I was at 20 years old!

In
1961, when I was in second grade, I contracted Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia,
which some doctors refer to as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). This
indicates that it's part of the polio family. For me, this means
that nearly every system in my body is affected. My list of symptoms
would make a small book. At the time I was introduced to therapeutic-grade
essential oils in 1997, I had been 'severely disabled,' according
to the Social Security Administration, for over 30 years. In 1982,
I found a chiropractor/nutritionist who helped me a LOT. He took
me from almost dead to almost functional (on good days); yet, even
with chasing after anything that offered hope of recovery, I was
still unable to even think about work. I was always in significant
pain, experienced profound fatigue on more days than not, could
not exercise to any significant degree, and made no conditioning
gains when I could. Then I met a guy who told me that his wife had
been helped a lot with essential oils. Though skeptical (I'd heard
it all MANY times before), I agreed to let her send me some information.
The packet included the Missing Link tape. The potential of the
oils sounded quite amazing, but it took me forever to actually act
on the information. I bought the Aromatherapy 101 kit and an aromatherapy
reference, just to get a start, then took another year to get started.
When my doctor informed me that I had some occlusions in the blood
vessels in my legs, I decided it was time to stop fooling around,
and see what the essential oils could do. I started using the oils
in a massive way; and while their use was purely recreational, I
was impressed by the coincidental remission of almost all of my
symptoms. Within a month, the occlusions in my legs had cleared
to the point that my doctor assumed there had been a misdiagnosis.
I felt stronger, more energetic, much more flexible, lighter, had
a bounce in my step and was all but pain free. In my Fibromyalgia
support group, I'm the only one NOT on medications, and I'm feeling
SO-O-O-O much better than all those relying on a medical solution.
While not cured by any means, using therapeutic-grade essential
oils has enabled me to start my own business. I consider them a
God-send. They have redefined for me the meaning of 'health'.

Several
years ago I was told I had fibromyalgia. This was before I knew
about the oils. I never had total relief from the pain until I started
using the essential oils. (I tried many treatments). To start with
I used the PanAway on the pain areas, Lavender and Peace and Calming
on my feet at night to have a proper sleep. Once I started to have
a good sleep the pain was less. I used Joy because I had many weepy
days and the Joy always made me feel better. My daughter also gave
me a Raindrop treatment and I was pain free for 2 days for the first
time. In the past 18 months I have had a number of stressors that
in the past would cause me to 'crash' as I call it. However that
didn't happen. The oils I have been using in the past 12 months
are Valor, Idaho Balsam Fir, and Joy. Occasionally I need to use
the Lavender to sleep but not often any more. I also used SAM-e
in the winter time last year. I haven't needed to use it yet this
year. I also have a chiropractor appointment monthly and a massage
monthly. I drink NingXia Red daily plus multivitamins that have
trace minerals in them, Multigreen and magnesium. I am able to work
full time plus I do the oil business and another business. So I
would say I am really healthy right now. As I am writing this out
I again am thankful for the oils. What a difference in my life!
