Interviews

Whether you have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or some other chronic illness, when you and I make a habit of eating well, we promote our good health and stave off the possibility of furthering chronic illness symptoms. Now not all illnesses are obviously influenced by diet, but surprisingly, I don’t know of a one that isn’t greatly affected by the foods, liquids, vitamins, herbs, minerals, chemicals and toxic substances that we ingest. OUCH! That hit home!

Well, you say, I don’t put anything harmful in my body? Well, maybe not, but take a moment to answer two simple questions:

During this interview and the previous one with Dr. Mike Funicello, DC, he explains why you may be sick with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, what happens during the illness process, what you can do at a physical level to relieve the trauma your body has stored, plus he offers a tantalizing opinion of where health comes from. By all means, take time to listen to the whole Health Matters Show today!

(Then when you get a chance, go back and review the previous interview, if you haven’t already heard it.)

When energy is stored in your body after a traumatic event, it has the capacity to influence your health very negatively and for a very long time.

I constantly strive to get you the best information about Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and this week I sought out a great guest to interview, Dr. Mike Funicello, DC. He and I talked about how to get well from Fibro and CFS. We could hardly stop talking once we began!

During the interview I wrote down a few of his words and phrases like passionate and the people you serve.

I could hear the passion in his voice and I believe that he truly feels the need to serve his patients. That led me to a conclusion: someone with that kind of attitude is a great asset to the Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome communities.

He would actually be glad to see you coming in the door and he’d want to know how he could help you get well!

As I interview Julianne Koritz, a top-notch nutritionist, for the Health Matters Show about what she sees in people who come to her with symptoms of Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or similar problems, I am blown away by the reality that what we eat directly causes or is a major factor with many of our problem symptoms. Julianne confirmed this nutrition information and more– big time!

Apparently food reactions and food sensitivities are very common in people whose bodies produce unpleasant symptoms such as pain, migraine headaches, irritable bowel syndrome (a.k.a. IBS) and more. Listen to the audio below to hear Julianne and I talk about how people come to her for their pain and find the very help that they need for recurrent migraine headaches (and in a short period of time). They walk in her door with longterm symptoms of irritable bowel syndome and begin to feel better than they have in years. Now, that is good news.

Also Julianne Koritz shares an interesting perspective of how women perceive this type of chronic health problem as opposed to a man. These points of view are different and this difference can be an important factor in getting well.

This audio is 16 min 35 seconds- Click right-facing arrow to listen to the audio file here or feel free to download it.)

If you like what you hear and want to know more, then there’s the longer, second part of the interview, when Julianne Koritz really tells us what she knows. Please, get all of the fantastic health information that she is sharing so freely. The second audio file is 40 minutes, 21 seconds and is only available when you register. See below.)

Tomorrow on the Health Matters Show, I interview a nutritionist and dietary expert, who is really in-the-know about nutrition information, eating and where it impacts people with the illnesses Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. She gave me so much nutrition information during our unique conversation, that in fact, I can’t get it all in one podcast!

So be sure to check in tomorrow at 3 pm EDT. Then plan to stick around and catch the second part of the interview where she really tells us so much more -or- you’ll have the opportunity to download it and listen to it at your leisure.

I know you’re smiling and marking this in your calendar. The podcast platform is a wonderful mechanism for picking up great health information and being able to “digest” it at your leisure. How’s that for a food analogy?

Throughout the months and years that my body/mind/spirit was in the process of healing, I did so much better, when in my eating and nutrition, I concentrated on the foods and substances that I put into my body. That’s still true today: junk in, junk out. Good stuff in, fantastic stuff out!

Plus, I think the dietary issues concerning Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or other chronic illnesses mean that you need to get a handle on what is good for your body and your immune system and what probably harms your efforts to get well. (My guest talks a lot about that.)

Without help, those are really confusing subjects. Dear one, I promise that in listening to my guest, you’ll hear nutrition information that you’ve probably never heard before as it applies to these illnesses. She is willing and capable of helping us figure out this entire perplexing problem. Finally… you have access to the help that you’ve been needing for so long.

So, let me invite you to be back here at the Health Matters Show podcast tomorrow. Join us for some vital info. Discover how you can get involved in helping yourself get well.

HINT: Every part of you needs to learn about and act on this nutrition information, especially your challenged digestive system and immune system. Dear one, ‘dietary’ is not a mere adjective… it’s a verb that requires your attention and intention if you’re going to make progress in healing!

Thanks,
Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show

PS- I’d appreciate you sending this blog post on to a friend with dietary issues of their own. We’ll conquer these problems when the information about how to do it really gets out there!

Every so often I get the privilege of interviewing someone on the front lines of fighting Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Such a person is Dr. David Lancaster of the Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Center of Dallas, Texas.

Stay tuned to learn about his qualifications as a skilled, hands-on osteopathic physician and why he’s well suited to the task of disagnosing and treating patients.

Hear his intuitive thoughts on why holistic/ integrative medicine is so appropriate and powerful in working with people with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Discover how this type of medicine may be a great choice for your medical care needs. There are many colors in the body/mind/spirit pallet of healing.

And, if you hang on long enough in the interview, you’ll hear him declare that he once didn’t believe in either illness, but boy, was he wrong!

Yes, our early, easy conversation might as well have been a planned broadcast at a Friday night, football game bond fire. It’s that sizzling! I promise that the 22 minutes and 35 seconds interview is worth listening to all the way through… . So hang on!

Learn, enjoy, then come back time and again, my friends, to the Health Matters Show.

You’re always welcome.
Cinda Crawford, your host

I am privileged and pleased to offer you an interview with Viviane Oberhand. She and I discuss the Oberhand Method of removing (healing) Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in someone in as little as 4 to 6 hours.

But equally as incredible, you learn about the woman and how she came to do such powerful work. Viviane overcame tremendous challenges in her past and discovered that by healing others, she is able to fulfill her destiny.

She has been doing this work for over 5 years with consisitently successful results. Plus, many of her clients and toughest cases come by way of referrals from medical doctors.

If you’ve been told that there is nothing that will help you get well from any chronic pain condition (such as the pain felt by people suffering with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), that may not be true. Meet Professor/ Dr. Brian Rothbart from Rome, Italy, on the Health Matters Show today. Imagine… finding a way to get rid of chronic pain.

Dr. Rothbart has worked as a pioneering researcher, physician and surgeon for 40 years. Listen as he talks about his concepts, about his new book, Forever Free From Chronic Pain. Listen to details about his years of research and about his medical practice all aimed at the very personal goal of eliminating chronic pain.

It is my pleasure to interview Dr. Rothbart, but let me warn you…. I could not get every bit of information included here on the podcast. He had too much good stuff to tell us and I wasn’t about to stop him from spilling the beans about chronic pain!

(10 min 45 secs audio, but that’s only the beginning. Keep going!)

Even when you have Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, some things are worth the wait!

Recently I met a man quite skilled in one of the newer healing methodologies known as EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique. This professional’s name is Till Schilling and he is also the inventor of Tappy Bear.

I won’t attempt to steal Till’s thunder because his description of how emotions affect the body and how EFT is a tool to positively affect your health cannot be matched. In interviewing Till, I quickly became enamored with his passion and vision of how powerful EFT and Tappy Bear are working together to improve the health of people all over the globe. (Take note of Till’s mention of working with children in Mexico and Tappy Bear’s entrance into Rwanda. Absolutely awesome work…)

When I say that you have to listen to this broadcast of the Health Matters Show, I really mean it. Join me in welcoming Dr. Freida Eng, a physician working in the trenches of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome- every day, all day!

I began interviewing Dr. Eng with the intention of learning more about the problems that her Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients and many of you are having with the “step therapy” program strategy being imposed by the big insurance companies. (They make it tough for some people to get the drug therapy that they want and their doctor orders.)

But… we not only talked about that issue, but so much more! Everything from the basic protocol implemented at the Fibromyalgia & Fatigue Centers– to hormones– to Thyroid problems– to vitamins! Yes, we covered a lot in this 31 minute 40 second broadcast. Don’t miss it. If you do, click on the download button and save it to your computer or I-pod so that you can listen to it anytime. As a matter of fact, you’ll want a copy of this one to keep! It’s packed full if valuable information. (Hint: Be sure to share this broadcast with a friend.)

I am so sorry that this program is delayed, but I assure you that it’s well worth the wait! Because… whether you have pets or you’re wondering if owning one would benefit you in any way, this broadcast of the Health Matters Show is right up your alley.

Today Health Expert Cinda Crawford interviews Robin Machris, the creator and orginator of Meow Cast, a new and fabulous blog and podcast on the internet. It’s designed for anyone who wants more info about cats (and dogs, too).

On the show Robin discusses how animals (particularly, dogs and cats) add value to our lives, why they do and she explains some new information you probably haven’t heard before. With her extensive “pet” background, Robin is truly a wealth of knowledge. Check out the broadcast and listen to this inspiring conversation between two friends and colleagues.
