Holistic Healing for ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and You

in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Living and Surviving, Mindfulness, What do you do if you're really sick?

cloveWhen we talk about holistic healing, looking at examples of its use help us understand this important health concept and what it can mean to someone suffering with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (a.k.a. ME/CFS) and Fibromyalgia FMS).

Today, we’ll also use you in this example. By the very fact that you’re visiting this blog and website, you probably have either Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or both illnesses. (Note: use the terms CFS and ME/CFS interchangeably here.) And to add even more punch to our illustration, today you have 10 symptoms, one of which is an under-performing Immune System. It has allowed a terrible case of broncitis to get a foothold. You’re SICK!

Instead of your taking a prescription drug to blast the broncitis and maybe even affect some of your other symptoms, you choose to use holistic healing treatment approaches. (Always consult your doctor before making a decision like this.) By taking this alternate health route of holistic healing, you’re seeking to have a better chance at long term health success which results in:

A) Fewer recurring and lingering Immune System problems like broncitis and those flu-ish, feel-bad-all-over symptoms
B) Fewer problems with Candida and yeast infections that often occur after taking a round of broad spectrum antitiotics. If you’ve taken multiples antibiotics within a six months period, you have an above-average chance of suffering with a stubborn case of Candida. Yeast infections are no fun, can be very difficult to get rid of and can cause a host of symptoms. Learn how to fight Candida with Life-5.

Candida is being widely discussed on many fronts, some writers even suggesting that it is a cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome! Whether it is or not, you can preempt Candida before it occurs by discontinuing the use of antibiotics and other prescription drugs and by starting to use acidophilus-type products after a course of antibiotics. The best product I know of is Life-5.

C) Less toxin buildup, so therefore fewer toxins for your body to get rid of -and-
D) Fewer or no drug side effect problems. (By foregoing use of one more powerful prescription drug, you won’t experience that drug cross reacting with something else already in your system.)

You definitely want fewer symptoms, not more.

You want fewer infections and to start feeling better.

Does this sound too wild to be possible?

Not at all.

Holistic healing is a viable option to consider.

By taking a more natural approach to healthcare with holistic healing, you can enjoy the results of calmer, quieter, less obtrusive healing alternatives. Plus, your body might really appreciate it because it won’t constantly undergo the energetic insults of prescriptions drugs that shock the body.

Some of your best holistic healing and healthcare options include the following:

  1. Changing to a healthier, more immune-supporting diet
  2. Introducing an exercise regimen to your daily routine
  3. Practicing meditation, mindfulness or mental imagery for relaxation (Wow, are these important! Look up mindfulness in the search engine box on the right. I’ve written about this important concept several times.)
  4. Taking vitamins or herbs
  5. Using Young Living essential oils specifically to help with Immune system problems. See my previous post, Fight More Infections Using Essential Oils
  6. Note:
    Not only can vitamins, herbs and Young Living essential oils help to supply your body with what it needs to be healthy, but they can help to maintain and supplement your health so that your Immune System is ready to fight off invaders when it’s challenged!

  7. Homeopathy
  8. Massage
  9. Acupuncture -or- making use of an actual
  10. Energy healing mechanism like Sacred Cellular Healing (SCH). People getting SCH work often notice considerable improvements in their body’s ability to fight off infections. :-)

When it comes to getting well, you have many choices in what healing regimens you use. Dear one, let them all be “conscious” choices. Remember: the choices you make have everything to do with whether you Immune System gets strong and is able to fight off infections, whether it stays impaired and is easily upset by bacteria and viruses -OR- whether it gets worse over time and you stay sick indefinitely.

Tomorrow on the Health Matters Show podcast, I’ll use myself as an example of how this works. Come back and check it out.
