Meridian Tapping for Fibro?
This is very interesting to me. I have tried accupuncture before, I found that very relaxing. But at $45 a session also quite pricey to go too often! This tapping is based on the same principles, but is FREE for you to learn, and you can do it anywhere at anytime :) They say it can help with all kind of things, fibromyalgia, migraines, chronic pain, depression and more. I found some blurbs below and some links for additional info, including a link illustrating 9 basic tapping points. Enjoy!

Dr. Joseph Mercola, DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) runs the most popular alternative health web site on the planet, and is an avid proponent of MTT, he has stated on Twitter that "An option for excellent pain relief without any of the health hazards that typical pain reliever's carry is Meridian Tapping Technique or MTT."
MTT is not a cure-all, it is not magic and it is not too good to be true, but it has produced amazing results for many people and it is FREE to learn and easy to do. It's a no-brainer.
MTT is based on the assumption that negative emoitions disrupt the flow in the body's energy system. When energy patterns are disrupted due to physical, mental or emotional trauma, it is believed that the path of energy between neurons can be disrupted. Professionals that utilize Meridian Tapping Techniques ( MTT Professionals have found that when people release negative emotions, it may help the energy and photons (a type of energy) flow again and as a result people can experience some amazing improvements in what ever might be ailing or upsetting them.
By simply "tapping" on specific areas of your body that may include your face, hands and other parts of your body, it stimulates your meridian energy system in the same way that the ancient Chinese method of acupuncture has done for thousands of years. In fact, some former acupuncturists have found that they don't need their needles anymore - simply tapping on the right points, without needles, works just as well if not better.

Water & Fibromyalgia
Ok this is interesting to listen to. But about halfway through it does kind of turn into a promo on this Kangen Water. Has anyone every bought this or tried the water (the machine itself runs @ $4K!) ?? http://www.thewaterlifestyle.com/freedvd.php
I am always skeptical of people/companies that make such fantastic claims about quickly curing medical ills with their (expensive) product.
But I gave this a listen anyhoo, it did have some interesting points, including a book they referred to (I listed below). If you listen let me know your thoughts.

Learn the Truth About The Water You Are Drinking With
With Dr Rodger Murphree
From: Wednesday June 16th, 8pm EST
Listen & Learn How Water Can:
~Bring your body into the state of balance
~Give you increased energy
~Improve your overall health
~Get loads of antioxidants everyday
~Discover what is in the bottle water
No matter how diligently you take care of your body, the most basic and essential elements can, unfortunately, remain neglected.
The human body is naturally alkaline, but as you age these alkaline levels may become too low, resulting in higher levels of acidity.
When the acid in your body is not balanced properly, it creates an environment hospitable to virus, bacteria, fungus, and other disease-causing organisms.
Dr Murphree is the Author of Treating and Beating Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Treating and Beating Depression, and Heart Disease: What Your Doctor Won’t Tell You, and more
________
MY NOTES from listening
- our body is 70-80% water
- cancer thrives in acidic bodies, is better to be more alkaline
- acidity creates Magnesium deficiencies which in turn creates many symptoms of fibro
- with (Kangen) water you can become more alkaline within days

sodium lauryl sulfate?
Along with the joint pains one of my first symptoms of FM was also severe gum pains and reoccuring mouth sores (canker sores.) I had them at bay for a while (I avoid anything too tart, pineapples, I water down cranberry juice etc.) But recently I have had such a severe bout with the mouth sores, which seem to then bring about this awful pain in my gums and teeth, I cannot get rid of. I even switched to Toms "all natural" toothpaste and gave up on mouthwash. [I have also visited dentist twice, and even when I am in severe pain he looks in my mouth and says all looks fine!! So is not periodontal disease.]
So recently I came across a lot of info on: sodium lauryl sulfate, an how it is know to causes canker sores and skin irritations, as is found in most toothpastes, shampoos, face washes etc. Apparently is a cheap foaming agent. I have also had sores on my scalp, so this would explain those too!

I believe in educating myself on all my medical issues and being my own advocate, for no one else will do that on my behalf. I recommend we all do the same!
Has anyone else had experiences like this and worked to avoid sodium lauryl sulfate? I am wondering if this is a flare up, or if I will need to avoid this SLS on a more long term basis? :(
sodium lauryl sulfate -- inexpensive and irritating for senstive skin/bodies
Its cousin, sodium laureth sulfate, apparently is much preferred both in shampoos and cleansers. Sodium laureth sulfate is more expensive, so some companies stick with the cheaper sodium lauryl sulfate.

Good Nutrition Helps FiIght Fibromyalgia
Whenever possible, nutritional intake is the first choice to correct or balance your body levels. I’m sure you’ve found that recommended diets for Fibromyalgia and Fatigue patients vary depending on the latest book you’ve read. Confusing? Of Course! Below is a good, general guide to start with.
Successful management of your condition requires that you understand your body, take a very serious approach to managing your condition and adhere to some very basic health and nutrition principles.
Manageable Dietary Suggestions
3 balanced meals per day will help to maintain an even flow of energy. While some may find multiple smaller meals throughout the day tend to give you bursts of energy, the result may be an increase workload on the digestive system. For some, the multiple small meals throughout the day provide a means to maintain a consistent and controlled metabolic rate. Only through trial and error with close monitoring of your body’s reactions, can you determine the most advantageous pattern.
Eat Healthy! Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains all contribute to boosting your immune system. Avoid “Diet” products. Artificial sweeteners and many weight loss products, through extensive research, have shown they may cause a variety of symptoms and conditions such as joint and muscle pain, cognitive disturbances and hormonal imbalances.
Balance Carbohydrate and Protein. Balancing your carbohydrates and proteins assists you to keep your weight in check through consumption of a reasonable caloric intake while not compromising nutritional value. Consult with your physician to determine your specific needs.

Ginger for Fibromyalgia and Inflammation
I have been taking Ginger for my fibro pains, and I think I may up the dosage and take 2x a day. It is inexpensive enough, and think it will help to with any tummy aches from meds or what not too :)
