Many friends have found some help however, and in some cases, a miraculous transformation, in the form of a few purely natural remedies that I would like to relate to you here.
> Terri from San Jose, CA writes: "5HTP is greatly helping myself and my daughter with our symptoms of fibromyalgia. I have tried low doses of antidepressants in the past but nothing worked as well to improve my sleep as 5-HTP has. I take 200mg per night. My type comes with several essential cofactors to assist in proper seratonin production. No side effects for me, unlike with the other drugs. I advise everyone to see a qualified ND or sympathetic MD before self dosing to be extra safe but side effects are rare thankfully."
*Pop's Note: What is 5HTP?
5-HTP is derived from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia, a West African medicinal plant.5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that is the intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical serotonin. There is a massive amount of evidence that suggests that low serotonin levels are a common consequence of modern living. The lifestyle and dietary practices of many people living in this stress-filled era results in lowered levels of serotonin within the brain. As a result, many people are overweight, crave sugar and other carbohydrates, experience bouts of depression, get frequent headaches, and have vague muscle aches and pain. All of these maladies are correctable by raising brain serotonin levels.

> Robin from Chicago, Il writes: "Let me start by saying that I've always been into natural health and supplements, and am very aware of my body and what goes into it. I knew something was wrong for about 6-7 years, but when fibro/CFS finally hit me like a mack truck last October, I was absolutely shocked that I was nearly crippled and could not stop sleeping. I knew I wasn't dying only because I had been trying tirelessly to lose weight since my daughter was born in 2005. It just wasn't happening. However, I could not imagine what could possibly give me so much pain and fatigue, but not be killing me at the same time?! Needless to say, I figured it out. Great... One of those things no one really knows what it is, where it comes from, etc. Well, the internet is now my best friend, which I'm sure is something to which all of you can relate. Okay, so I'll get to the point!! In May, I began taking acetyl l-carnitine with alpha lipoic acid (must be taken together) after okaying it with my rheumatologist. The acetyl l-carnitine actually GOT ME OUT OF BED and able to play with my daughter and do a bit of housework. Although, I still have a lot of pain, I no longer sleep for hours on end and some of the fog has lifted. Apparently, acetyl l-carnitine works with mitochondria and helps them to properly utilize energy sources. I'm also happy to report that, since I started taking this supplement, I've lost 12 pounds (in 2 months). I'm not sure if it's because my body is better processing my food intake or just the fact that I'm out of bed. All I know is that I have done nothing different calorically. For those of you with chronic fatigue, this is really, really worth a try. I thank God EVERY DAY!!"

"I started taking two teaspoons of ACV three times a day only six days ago. I am taking it to ease the pain of fibromyalgia and my pain is getting less and less! I plan on continuing it but am having a hard time drinking it."

> Jim from Madison, Wi replies: "To Sherrine in FL. I started drinking acv a year ago different ways and had a hard time with it but it was worth it to get rid of the inflamation in my low back. I suffer from spinal stenosis and scoliosis. The best way I have found to drink acv is to put about 1 or 2 ozs. in a glass of vegetable juice. It makes it easier to drink for me.
I am so very pleased to have been able to find this website. It has really helped me a great deal!"

Many emails today asking about the ACV+Baking Soda combo. While there were a pair of rather detailed prior posts devoted to ACV and the impressive list of ailments ACV is credited for easing, i can lay out the combo here.
ReplyDeleteIn a small cup (the dosage cup from a Nyquil bottle works), pour about 2TBs of pure Apple Cider Vinegar (with Mother, preferably). Add ¼ tsp Baking soda. This will foam up like a kid's volcano experiment, and when it settles, toss it back like a shot.
ACV is very acidic, and the Bs is an alkalai that will balance the acids. This makes it easier to take, and less corrosive on the tooth enamel.
You can also pour the combo into a glass (8oz) of V8 or orange juice, in which case you barely even taste the ACV.
I want to get across my admiration for your kindness for folks who absolutely need help with this important concern. Your very own commitment to getting the solution around appears to be astonishingly powerful and has in most cases permitted men and women just like me to arrive at their pursuits. Your own invaluable facts implies much to me and somewhat more to my office colleagues. Best wishes; from each one of us.
