What is Fibromyalgia, the Cost, the Symp-toms, and Sleep

My StoryMy name is Dr. Mary Starr Carter, and my story really started many, many years ago, but a little over 12 years ago I had been working in the health care field, but not the healthy care field.

Thirteen years ago I struggled so badly with my health in terms of allergies, insomnia, headaches, and sinus issues. I couldn’t go to a hair salon or be around any chemicals without getting a headache.

Then I started taking these antihistamines – maybe you remember Sudafed – to the point where I would use it like a cup of coffee. I was like, “Wow, this really perks me up!”

One day when taking Sudafed and my heart literally felt like it was beating out of my chest. I thought I was having a heart attack, and learned that there are side effects for over-the-counter medications.

That is when the door that opened into natural health for me. I went on to chiropractic school and got some relief, but I really struggled with sinus issues, insomnia, and headaches. Then another door opened for me to study nutrition, and my life has so radically changed. It’s been 2001 since I’ve had to take any form of medica-tion, prescription or over-the-counter, even an aspirin.

In 2010 I had my first child at the age of 35. As a wellness coach for over a decade I thought I had this in the bag – taking all my nutrition and I was supposed to be healthy. I thought I had it down.

Feeling good, I just kept kind of pushing myself. I kept working like I normally worked. My midwife continued and my husband said I needed to rest, but I continued to travel and speak.

Then right around my due date my labor began, and my labor lasted four days. In those four days I didn’t sleep more than 5 minutes every 20 minutes. I see why people who don’t sleep – it was just awful.

My son and was healthy, but I hemorrhaged. I think I kind of strong-armed my midwife into letting me leave within the 24 hours. I remember getting home, and my neighbor saying, “You looked green when you got home.”

The next events are kind of blurry, and I started to refuse help. “I could do it.” I stayed up all night with my son when I really should

have been sleeping and should have been resting.

Within a few days I literally lost my mind. I wasn’t producing more than a few ounces of milk breast feeding, I had never ever been in that place, and I really don’t wish it on anyone. It was awful.

Any of you who are familiar with aroma therapy, I thank my mom and Gary Young, the founder of Young Living Essential Oils. My mom brought me this little sample of JOY OIL and had it on a cotton ball and put it in my pajama top pocket, and I would just smell that.

Probably around the third round of smelling, something kind of clicked back in my brain. Although I didn’t recover overnight, I felt that I was kind of getting my bearings back with that aroma therapy. It was very, very significant.

I reached out and started to get some help with my son, my home, and to this day I’m extremely grateful for the women who stepped in for my rescue and still help to support me every day.

In about five months I regained some of my strength and endur-ance, and with some solutions that I’m going to talk to you about. I’m going to share with you how I went from that place of losing my mind, of total fatigue for months on end, which is normally called post-partum, it’s not.

I’m going to share with you some reasons why you might be strug-gling with fatigue as well.

I say that it was a blessing from God, because that really drew me into the topic of fibromyalgia. I believe through education we can find solutions for our health that many times we can do ourselves, in our own homes.

Why Study FibromyalgiaIn my natural health care profession I began seeing clients who were quite chronically sick with a condition called fibromyalgia. In many cases the women were also diagnosed with other conditions - maybe rheumatoid arthritis or depression.

In 2003, almost all the women who came to my office who had this condition were medicated on anti-depressants to give them mild relief for the day, for the week, and even some had long-term results.

In 2005, I traveled and taught natural health in the United States and Canada and I started training with some of the world’s lead-

ing experts in nutrition, health, and different therapeutic healing techniques. It was there that I saw hundreds of women and men suffering with the condition of fibromyalgia.

The last piece of this challenging health condition called fibromyalgia together from 2005 through 2010.

What is the Cost of FibromyalgiaSome of you know very well what it is, but maybe some of you have heard about it, but may not have an idea the seriousess of fibromyalgia.

In the United States it’s estimated that fibromyalgia affects 2% of the population, and 90% of them are women. I believe from what I’ve seen with my clients that many who also have the symptomatology of fibromyalgia, but have not been diagnosed with it.

It costs our society about $20 billion a year, and the average out-of-pocket expense per year per person is $2,274. That’s a lot of money. Almost all clinically treated fibromyalgia persons are medicated, which means they’re on at least one, and most that I see are prob-ably on a dozen medications.

26% of those suffering receive some form of disability, meaning their condition is so debilitating in their life that they cannot work. I have met people in different stages of recovery who had lived on their couch for years at a time.

Some people go to work, but they just can’t get through eight hours.they’re back in bed after work and they might have to take four or five different medications for constant pain. Some of our clients say.

“It was so painful that my children couldn’t even hug me.”“I would forget days at a time.”

The medications can make you so foggy that you literally forget days at a time. People who have had recovery look back and really believe that fibromyalgia, led to issues with their marriage and children. The quality of life for a person with fibromyalgia in the traditional medical model is very poor.

Fibromyalgia SymptomsWhat does an average person with fibromyalgia have going on with them?

PainThe #1 symptom is pain and joint stiffness. In fact, there’s 18 classic trigger points, on the body that tend to be very painful. If I were to press them on a fibromyalgia client they might go through the roof.

There are also stages. For example, when I start seeing a client who’s going through a time where their body is becoming more and more sensitive to pain, they feel like their muscles or trigger points are just constant, and I know that we immediately have to do something before it gets worse.

Sleep disturbancesIn sleep studies, fibromyalgia sufferers rarely get into the deepest part of the sleep cycle where the body repairs and heals itself. My sister-in-law works in a sleep clinic for 15 or 20 years, and staff would bet and say, “I bet she’s not going to go to this stage of sleep.”

Since my sister-in-law’s been working there, every single time, every fibromyalgia client they see doesn’t get that sleep, a key to the puzzle that we’ll be sharing a little later.

FatigueThe fatigue can be so debilitating. I’ve seen clients who walk up the stairs and they have to take a nap afterwards because their body is just completely exhausted and tired. Or they spend the whole day with this level of energy that’s about a 3.

This can be so debilitating that many clients are exhausted by simply a chore of washing the dishes or putting away clothes and going up the stairs, fatigue and energy.

Digestive and immune disordersA lot of times someone with fibromyalgia, also has a correlation with other digestive and immune disorders; the list is long.

Bladder dysfunction It’s quite common that some form of various bladder dysfunctions, whether it’s a very irritated bladder or chronic kidney or bladder infections, probably in about 40% of the clients that I saw.

Depression and anxietyMost sufferers of fibromyalgia struggle with or are medicated for depression or anxiety.

Multiple LayersNow, you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Gosh, Dr. Mary, I have almost all those!” Well, that’s not to say you have this condition.

I do know that conditions or “dis-ease” are very multi-layered. The cause of fibromyalgia for one woman or man may be different than four someone else. In treating something like fibromyalgia we really have to look at multiple layer.

If you struggle with your weight, pain, and fibromyalgia and cannot get a consecutive four hours of restorative sleep, your body cannot heal, get out of pain, and most likely you are going to struggle to lose weight. There’s a lot of dynamics to sleep, including snoring. Maybe we’re keeping ourselves from not being able to get into deep sleep.

A simple thing like a B or D vitamin deficiency could be the cause of why you’re craving chocolate and have no energy. In fact I had a client tell me she shared that one tip the next day and her friend said, “I can’t believe it. I’m feeling better. I have more energy and not feeling fatigued. Could it work this quick?” Absolutely.

Again, with a condition like fibromyalgia, many times we have to kind of peel the onion back – 1, 2, 3 – but with fibromyalgia many times too there’s a root.

Survey ResultsYou’re probably thinking right now, “Well great, how does someone actually come down with it? It’s not like a cold. What really is this all about?”

You can take the survey located in the side bar.

Question 1: For someone suffering with fibromyalgia, what’s the most important thing for you?

We found that over 60% of you said all of the above. Maybe you can get to sleep but you can’t stay asleep. You sleep 8 or 9 hours but you’re never refreshed, and there’s reasons for that.

Question 2: What part of lack of energy do you struggle with?:

Only about 10% said they couldn’t get going in the morning, 20% said you’re tired in the afternoon, and almost half said, “Some days I have energy and some days I don’t,” which is very classic for some-one with fibromyalgia.

The dynamic so challenging for family members, is to understand that

just because someone with fibromyalgia has a few days of feeling good, doesn’t mean that the body is completely recovered.

I absolutely feel that people can be recovered, but there are specific steps. I can share stories of others, but we can’t diagnose and pre-scribe; if you have a serious issue, if you have a lot of medications, you have to work with your doctor. We absolutely don’t tell anyone to get off their medications without working with your health care professional on that.

Question 3: What part of lack of energy do you struggle with?

Almost 50% of you said some days you have energy, some days you don’t; and about 30% said you’re tired all the time.

Question 4: How about pain? Pain is an awful thing with someone who has fibromyalgia. Headaches and migraines are very, very common.

43.8% of you said you struggle with headaches and migraine, 80% of you have joint stiffness, 75% have an achey body, and50% said it hurts to move or even be touched.

There are people that don’t have fibromyalgia but struggle with back pain; encourage them to listen so they can get some solutions for their health. They don’t have to live on pain medication or in pain the rest of their life. I’m telling you, I’ve seen it.

Question 5: How often are you sick with a cold or sinus issues?

“I’m sick with a cold or sinus stuff several times a year,” which 50% of you were. “More than six times a year,” almost 10% of the people who filled out this who have fibromyalgia are sick with cold or sinus more than six times a year.

25% of the people who filled out our survey again have an immune system disorder and 51.3% struggle with allergies.

I really feel if you’re listening to this and you’re a health care profes-sional or you’re someone who’s on the road to health, that these are key clues to how to get better.

Question #6 When did stressor occur in your life?

I can say in almost all cases that I’ve seen, there usually is some kind of stressor that happened in their life that’s occurred for more than a month at a time, usually more than 21 days, where they’re under this high, high stress.

M Y S U RV E Y

Maybe they suffered an extreme trauma, divorce,loss of loved one, sexual or physical abuse, or they’re living through abuse of a parent.

Effects of Roots Over Time When abuse happens in a child, we sometimes don’t see the result till later in life – 30, 40, or even 50 years old.It starts on the emotional level, but physiological sequence starts to happen:

• B vitamins start becoming depleted • memory gets distorted• Depression will come in become of the lack of B vitamins

So later at 30, 40, or 50, someone can very easily fall into fibromy-algia-type symptoms rooted years ago.

When major financial changes started to happen a few years ago, where people lost huge savings, retirement plans, and money worked for over a whole lifetime was lost or reduced. We’re seeing, particu-larly in women,we now see the cycle of migraines, pain in the body, aches all over, rheumatoid – the slide into fibromyalgia.

In terms of emotional health, there can be some key roots from early on or throughout your life like divorce or post-traumatic stress disorder, where the whole family is really emotionally traumatized to the point where they’re falling into cycles of what I would call fibromyalgia, as well as

• not being able to drive, • anxiety • depression, and• being medicated.

We’re going to give you some step-by-step action guides to go through and stop some of these conditions.

Can This Help Me? I just want to remind everyone that if you’re thinking right now,

“Well, I have something called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD).”

“Well, this isn’t going to help me,”

I’m going to tell you different. The information and stories you’re going to hear can change things for you.

Again, we don’t want to make claims and say it’s absolutely 100% this or 100% that, but if you follow the simple step-by-step directions, you will se e results.

The natural health community and producers are a very small in

terms of money spent compared to big pharmacuitical companies. Just about every other TV commercial is about this or that drug, and then at the very end you’ll hear, “May cause diarrhea, depression, and death.”

Seven years ago I started studying with Dr. Ann Blake Tracy who has testified in many of the top drug-related murder suicides. Her books and training will really open your eyes to what is going on.

Many medical doctors just don’t have the information, so almost every single woman who walked in my office was medicated on anti-depressants, but the root of their problems were

• nutritionally, • homonally, and • emotionally

based roots that had not dealt with.

Now we’re finding slowly but surely some medical professionals are looking into the roots. They’re now seeing hope, where before they weren’t.

If Ara, who the doctors said they had only seen one or two people with cases as severe as hers, can get relief and can be in recovery, so can you. There is hope. There absolutely is hope.

“Given the culture we live in, and the fact that big pharma ads make up every other ad on TV, who wouldn’t want to take a pill in hopes of it working. Nearly 13 years ago my fibro[myalgia] was so bad I was on a 100 mg patch of Fentanyl, 8 Oxycodones a day, and then they put me on Lyrica. That was the final straw. The Lyrica made me crazy. The narcotics had me in a stupor.

I threw out the Lyrica and weaned myself off the rest in a months’ time. I’ve never looked back. Several years later I was introduced to some natural health and I have a rare occasional flare-up now, but when I was diagnosed they said they’d only seen one or two people with a case so severe as mine.

I started studying natural medicine, so when the Lyrica made me crazy my mind remembered that there was something better.” Then she says here, ‘I did not know that it was going to turn out so good.’” Ara Calberg

so you do not have to be dependent on pharmaceuticals, or over-the-counter products to get to sleep, and help you not to wake up foggy in the morning, not remembering where you put things - something to help you without the side effects - called therapeutic essential oils.

What is a therapeutic essential oil? If you’ve ever had a plant, like an aloe plant, and you tore the leaf, inside is that kind of gel or juice. What that is is the blood of the plant really. It’s where all the enzymes, the nutrients, the minerals, and the vitamins are that are specific for healing.

Now, what’s happened throughout the years is many people just think of essential oils as aroma therapy, just smell. In fact, smell goes directly to the portion of the brain that is for memory, for emotion, for relaxation. So when you smell a smell, it really can help you.

Maybe you’re out there listening and are saying, “I cannot stand smells. I get a headache immediately with any perfume or anything,” and yes, you are correct. But what you’re talking about is alcohol toxic perfume. What we’re talking about is nature-made.

“Well, I’m allergic to flowers. I’m allergic to all this.” Yes, that is true, but it has to be a protein base for you to have an allergy attack like that but theraputic oils like Young Living Essential Oils are made in a way that makes a pure distillation.

General SleepFor example, over 500 pounds of lavender to get just a few liters of pure lavender oil. Pure therapeutic lavendula augustifolia, has been studied by Wake Forest University and they found that this Young Living’s Lavender Essential Oil is just as effective, if not more effec-tive than the leading sleep medication that is not going to make you groggy or pass out after you take it.

Take a drop or two of your lavender oil, put it on your feet

Mental FogginessMany of you struggle with mental fogginess; maybe you just can’t shut off your brain, or everything’s spinning for you sometimes. Young Living has a very simple solution for you called Tranquil Oilt it in a nice roll-on, so you can just roll it on your temples, smell it, put it under your nose, put it on the back of your neck, or put it on your feet even.

Kim’s StoryYou are medicated right now and want a solution to help you slowly wean off of that. Again, I cannot be the one who does that for you, you need to work with your doctor, but let me share with you Kim Smith’s story.

Kim was on several medications to help her sleep. In fact, she had a very challenging thing that was going on in her life, and she shares publicly this story, in that she just could not sleep. She had a lot of these fibromyalgia type symptoms.

Staying asleepIf you really struggle with staying asleep and nothing works for you except these heavy-duty drugs, look into a Young Living essential oil called RutaVala, which will help the worst sleep cases as well as those who might be peri- or post-menopausal and struggling with sleep now. You can apply• on your ears, • on your feet, • take it internally, but the oil is very, very good to just get you to sleep as well.

Young Living does have two products that are very good to use for sleep. On is called Sleep Essence, which helps to put you in a deep sleep. Similar to the RutaVala, has something called melatonin in it, which helps the body sleep and helps the body regenerate as well.

I don’t recommend that someone use this every single night or for long periods or months at a time. Using any product with melatonin in it, in the morning you want to make sure that you turn on the light and look at the sun, not stare, within 20-30 minutes of waking to shut off the cycle.

“Coming down with something”Another product if you feel like you’re getting sick quite a lot, and getting run down, is called Immune Pro. It has high anti-oxidants and anti-cancer products like certain mushrooms. I find it’s very, very effective to knock out anything if I feel like I’m coming down with something. It’s called Immune Pro and I’ll chew one, or even two and get an amazing night’s sleep, but wake up and feeling very refreshed.

That Immune Pro also has melatonin in it. Again, it’s not something you’re supposed to use all the time, but if you’re struggling with fibromyalgia I would not use that for more than 20 days at time.

Then give your body a rest for a week or three weeks rest, or use as needed.

Eating before sleepThere are a couple last factors that we do want to share. One is your eating patterns, we’re going to get into eating for fibromyalgia a little bit later, but it’s really important in the night time to be careful.

Many times we say, “Well, I’m not going to have the ice cream,” which of course is not good for sleep, or soda or caffeine or anything like that, but we’ll say, “I’m going to have a piece of fruit. I’m going to have an apple.”

I really want to discourage you from eating Even an apple or banana at night, because something like that can start to spike our blood sugar, and then certain neurotransmitters go off that don’t allow our bodies to sleep.

I’m going to recommend that you take more of a protein and amino acids. Maybe a few nuts, or a small piece of protein even, like tuna or something like that. I recommend you take enzymes if you’re going to do something meat.

Spouse, Children, and SleepLastly, what we want to say about sleeping too, this is always funny and people don’t realize it, but if you have a spouse who has some sleeping issues – your sleep partner, your husband, your wife – are they snoring? Are they waking you up in the middle of the night?

If you’re a mommy and you’ve got a little one that doesn’t always happen, but if you have a great spouse, maybe they can help. They can do a feeding. If you’re breast feeding, maybe you can pump a cycle so that you could get four hours of consecutive sleep for a couple nights just to help your body heal.

Young Living therapeutic oils are nature-made. They actually have a brain. They go into the body, they know what’s going on, and they go out of the body.

For example, someone who has high blood pressure – and we’ll talk about safety here as well – someone who takes lavender topically, which naturally helps lower the blood pressure, it goes in and sees what’s going on and goes out.

If you take a therapeutic medication first, it synthetically lowers the

Train yourself to go to bed at the same time every night to establish a sleep pattern.

If you combine these tips with the therapeutic oils, you’ll see the pattern get better and better.

blood pressure. If you take lavender afterwards, a lot of time in the body the nature-made will know that the body’s blood pressure is already fine. So a lot of times when you take these oils they’re going to know, “Does she need to sleep now? What does she need to do?”

If your body’s sleeping a lot, or you’re falling asleep, it may be because your body is trying to heal itself. For example, my son is 10 months old and takes two naps a day. Why is he doing this? Because his body needs to regenerate, needs to heal, and needs to grow.

Toxicity, Adrenal Exhaustion, and Blood SugarWe’re going to share specifically about fibromyalgia, but if you struggle with low energy, have lack of stamina, or maybe you have lots of energy one day and then laid up the next day, this training is for you. You’re going to.

• understand why you can’t wake up in the morning.• understand why you might have lots of energy one day and

be wiped out the next. • learn why you might be tired in mid-afternoon, or• understand maybe why you’re tired all the time.

Let’s talk about fibromyalgia, and about the three things in terms of fatigue:1. toxicity, we’re 2. blood sugar, and 3. adrenal exhaustion.

ToxicityDr. Sherry Rogers has written several books on toxicity, one in partic-ular called Tired or Toxic? She’s one of the pioneers to bring forward the science behind toxicity and what it’s doing to our bodies, such as

• the Love Canal resulting Love resulting in very high incidence of birth defects, miscarriages, asthma, epilepsy, and cancer,

• central New York in this one community with a 80-90infertil-ity rate,

• in Oswego County whose their family, their husbands, the people who worked at the paper plant have mysterious ill-nesses, diabetes, or certain cancers, stay-at-home moms, moms who are usually doing the cleaning and keeping their houses and use chemicals have a higher incidence of cancer

Dr. Rogers talks about in her book how toxicity contributes to fatigue, and guess what the most common organ affected is? Can you guess? Your brain. Chemical exposure to the brain can lead to

• drowsiness, • fatigue, • exhaustion, • sluggish thinking.

If you were to go to the doctor, a lot of times they delegate most brain symptoms to psychiatrists or psychologists, when the case could really be chemical toxicity.

Chemicals affect individuals in different ways. There’s no two people alike, but there’s a few key factors of why chemicals might affect you more than your husband or your neighbor less.

1. Your nutritional statusHow much your body fills up with vitamins and anti-oxidants and minerals and amino acids all play not only an important part in your health, but they help your body detoxify chemi-cals. Our body has a natural detoxification system, but if we don’t have the vitamins and minerals and protein to take care of that, then those chemicals start to build up in our system. Does that make sense?

2. Your total toxic loadThe number of toxins and duration of exposure to toxins can determine how it’s going to affect you.

Think about if you’re a mechanic, landscaper, hairdressers, nail technicians, and others exposed day in and day to those chemicals.

Maybe you ingest a lot of toxins. For example, artificial ingre-dients. I won’t go into that too much, but think about that as well.

3. Genetics can affect the enzymes in your system, can affect your liver health, all of that.

4. Your age. Children are more susceptible than adults to chemi-cals.

5. Health at the time of exposure. When you were exposed to chemicals, how was your health? Do you have a chronic ill-ness? Is your liver diseased already? That’s all going to affect it as well.

6. Then finally, stress.

We’re going to talk about stress a little bit later, but all these factors go into how your body deals with toxins.

If may ask, “Why doesn’t the government ban these chemicals?” In very small doses and in a healthy body these things might be safe, but over time as you’re exposed more and more, day in and day out to

• the acrylic nails, or • the place that you work, or • whatever it is,

then your nutrition gets low and that’s when the problem comes in.

Symptoms One New Jersey study studied everyday residents and the air they were just breathing out had chemicals that shouldn’t have been there.

In another study they tested individuals who hadn’t worked in fac-tories or industrial waste, and found that 71% of them had wood preservative in their system. That’s scary.

How about formaldehyde? As part of chiropractic our education for an entire year we were in anatomy and physiology lab with bodies that are preserved in chemicals. Science shows with formaldehyde exposure you will find fatigue, depression, and poor concentration.

The symptoms of exposure to things like trichlorethylene, things found in floor polish, copy machines, carpet cleaner, etc. include fatigue, poor concentration, drowsiness, headaches. Chemicals are causing these issues.

Pain in your muscles, a lot of fibromyalgia clients have pain in their muscles. We know some chemicals really disrupt how your muscles metabolize and cause pain and weakness in the muscle.

Chronic fatigue patients have a very high incidence of environmental exposure. Either they’ve used recreational drugs very commonly, or they’ve been exposed to environmental exposures, like firemen or hairdressers or if you’ve worked at a plant as well.

I don’t mean to scare you with all these statistics, but I just want you to understand that why are we seeing these things in toxicity and in fibromyalgia as well. 33% of those fibromyalgia on our survey said that you also have some other immune system disorder like rheu-matoid arthritis, or you’ve been diagnosed with lupus or something similar

The immune system can become seriously impaired by exposure to chemicals, which can then suppress your immunity it or it can cause it to overact. If it’s suppressing your immunity, you’re getting colds more often, but if it overacts, we get things like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus - it’s when our body attacks itself.

Then, in a study with environmental neurotoxicology it was reported that 119 different chemicals can cause sleep issues. How do we stop it? How do we know if toxins are a problem in our health and

how do we stop it?

A lot of clients say, “Well, I’m going to cleanse, I’m going to do this master cleanse, I’m going to do this cleanse or that,” and I say no. The first thing you want to do is to

1) eliminate the toxins, and2) build nutrition, and

then we detoxify, because if your body doesn’t have the nutrition to go through that detoxification – mostly happens in our liver, kid-neys, body – if you don’t have the nutrition, the right enzymes, the minerals and vitamins for that process, your body cannot detoxify.

You do that cleanse and you feel absolutely worse than you did before, and it’s not a good thing. So first we have to eliminate the toxins, then we build nutrition, and then we detoxify.

Building NutritionWe’re going to start with building the nutrition with a product I was using personally and getting good results with energy. It’s something called NingXia Red made from the Chinese wolfberry called Lycium barbarum.

In this wolfberry are 18 amino acids, 21 minerals, and more beta carotene than carrots. One little ounce of this is literally like eating

• eight oranges • two cups of blueberries and • four pounds of carrots.

It’s food-based and liquid, so that makes it very absorbable to the body.

When clients were using NingXia Red, I noticed that people like hairdressers and those who had been exposed to toxins were getting really good results and feeling phenomenal. NingXia Red at higher doses is a very, very gentle cleanse as it starts to rebuild and heal the liver at about six ounces a day for about six months.

Mineral EssenceMineral Essence is a combination of great minerals in a liquid form that you can put right in your NingXia Red or you can put in your smoothie or shake. One of the mentors who trained me found in a clinic they would literally have to give the clients about 10 droppers a day to help rebuild the minerals in the body.

True SourceThen finally a product called True Source, and that’s a vitamin food product, made out of food, so it’s very, very digestible. These three things are very good to help rebuild the nutrition.

When Mr. Carter would fall asleep when he would come home from work after his long drive. He just sat on the couch and never wanted to do anything. He started upping his NingXia Red doses, found he had energy, was off the couch, playing tennis, and losing weight. In fact, that’s one of the side effects of NingXia Red is that people start to lose weight, because of all the natural things that it’s doing in the body.

Marilyn Springfield was able to release her coffee habit by drinking NingXia Red. That’s very, very powerful.

You’ll see some of those testimonies and their pictures in our Action Guide.

Julie Behling struggled with chronic fatigue for years and was very disabled by it. NingXia Red really helped her to regain her health, literally within two weeks.

DetoxifyNow that we’ve built our nutrition, the next thing I want to talk about is a couple simple ways to start to detoxify.

Young Living Essential Oils has an oil called Clarity for the brain, the organ most affected by toxic chemicals. Clarity oil has a single oil in it called cardamom known for detoxification of the brain. If you’ve been exposed to a lot of chemicals is start to use Clarity on a daily basis, inhaling or a diffuser, but start slow, because if you have been exposed to a lot of things you might initially have that reaction.

The other thing I find is very powerful for detoxifying the body is something called Raindrop Technique, another technique called Cleanse You. The Raindrop Technique Cleanse You uses Young Living therapeutic oils go into the body and actually start to eat up some of the petrochemicals that are in your body.

If we take a Styrofoam cup, which is chemical, and put in edible and food grade lemon oi, the oil literally disintegrates part of the cup. That’s what it does in our bodies; it safely starts to go in and eat up the chemicals and then flush that out of our system.

It’s very important to drink lots of water when you’re detoxifying

to make sure your body is well-hydrated because the tissues literally release chemicals.

Another valuable oil is Juva Cleanse. Juva Cleanse can help get heavy metals out of the system similar to a pretty invasive therapy called chelation, and is effective.

Now, this isn’t a class about liver cleansing and all that, but these are some simple things that you can start with right away to start your cleansing experience. You may be familiar or not with other things, like

• chlorine in the water causing the thyroid to malfunction. • mercury amalgam fillings and what they do to the body.

Below is some more information for you on what you can do to detoxify.

We’ve talked about toxicity and are you tired or are you toxic? Quite possibly you could be toxic. You could start right today and go down into the cupboard under the sink that has those chemicals and just throw them away.

Young Living has an absolutely amazing product called Thieves Cleaner that can take the place of your

• window cleaner, • toilet bowl cleaners, • bleaches,• kitchen counter cleaners, and• disinfectant spray

Thieves Cleaner can literally take their place and it’s safe enough to be edible.

Adrenal fatigue or exhaustionHave you heard of adrenal fatigue before? It’s a common thing that we’re starting to hear more and more about. In chiropractic school we learned of Han Seyle who studied stress and what certain stressors did to the body. He found there are really three stages of stress in our body.

The first stage is known as fight or flight. That’s kind of in the way, way back times when a wild animal might come upon us, our body all the sudden would get so much strength that we could just run fast and run away from the animal. The first stage is kind of that alarm - fight or flight.

The second stage, if we’re continuously exposed to those stressors we go into what’s called a resistance stage, where

Copyright © 2011 by Dr. Mary Starr Parmley-Carter all rights reserved www.thetotalwellnessdoc.com

our adrenal glands go into overdrive to raise blood sugar and our blood pressure so we can keep on going.

If I’m constantly in that resistance stage over and over and over, then my body’s going to find into the third stage that’s called hypoadrenia or adrenal exhaustion.

What does this all mean? Have you ever heard somebody who says, “I’ve never been the same since I had my son,” or “I’ve never been the same since I had that terrible cold for six weeks,” or “I’ve never been the same since I got in that car accident. My health has never been the same.”

If you hear someone say that, or you yourself have said that, then you really have to look at the stress-related adrenal cycle. All of these things can indicate to you something might not be right, particularly with the adrenal gland.

There is also something called GAS – General Adaptation Syndrome. After the alarm stage, the resistance stage, and then continuous severe stress, where the adrenal glands literally begin to adapt and rebuild themselves.

Exhaustion Stage:What happens is you finally go into that exhaustion stage, where you actually lose the ability to really adapt to stress, and that is not good. Now you are going to see a range of symptoms.

Cortisol is a part of this adrenal exhaustion and is the stress hormone that makes us fat around the middle. Women who have constant stress in their lives, I see them usually when they’re 40, 50, 60 years old, they get this round body in the middle.

Very often those under severe prolonged stress will contract diseases related to immune deficiency and may even die of these diseases. Death doesn’t actually come from stress, but the body loses its abil-ity to ward off the stress. Let’s go back to the causes of stress again. They can be mental, emotional, chemical, toxins, diets high in refined carbohydrate, allergies to foods and food additives, or endocrine imbal-ances, all of these things can be stressor.

Adrenal Fatigue SymptomsWe’re seeing more and more athletes - runners, bikers, cyclsts- with a higher incidence of heart attacks.

A lot of patients with adrenal exhaustion will seek your help because they’ll have sacroiliac pain or low back pain.

How many women I’ve seen who’ve said, “I’ve never been the same since I had my son. My body just totally gave up on me. I have this pain cycle.” Pregnancy is quite a stressor for many women.

Commonly women tell me when they reached the third trimester, “All the sudden I felt better than I ever felt.” They think it’s these prenatal vitamins, and that’s not the case.

The little baby’s adrenal glands in the third trimester produce enough hormone for the baby and the mom leaving the mom feeling great, but the baby’s adrenals stressed, leading to the baby often exhibiting symptoms of adrenal fatigue like allergies and recurring infections.

Three part function of adrenals:Adrenal glands have three parts of what they do. Beside the cortex and medulla, there’s aldosterone, which for the person who has adre-nal fatigue, many times they’ll have exhaustion and musculoskeletal symptoms similar to what fibromyalgia patients feel.

When aldosterone gets off-balance, you can have issues with• passing out, • heart rate, • bloating, or • all the sudden getting edema or swelling.

You go to the doctor, the doctor gives you a water pill, and that’s prob-ably the worst thing that could actually happen.

So it’s really important to understand this adrenal fatigue cycle so that you can go to your health care professional and talk to them about some solutions like that.

A really good thing that we can do in this case is to support the body with minerals. Remember earlier we talked about Mineral Essence.

Sex hormones: The adrenal glands affect our sex hormones, how we feel about our-selves, how our cycles work. If all the sudden you’re having issues with your period, again you might want to look at the adrenal gland, if you have a low libido.

Menopause: Women who are going through menopause, if you feel like it’s just hit you like a ton of bricks, your mind and everything is starting to go, again you want to look at this adrenal issue. Women who go through menopause might all of a sudden have

• a knee problem,• become sensitive to light or • back pain

If a woman starts to go through menopause, as a chiropractor, you may want to look at some adrenal support if they have some of these symptoms.

Blood sugarAnother way the adrenals affect us is our blood sugar. After ingesting food, the blood sugar will go up, which causes the pancreas to produce insulin, which lowers the blood sugar. Adrenal fatigue get the cycle out of balance, and can produce symptoms of hypoglycemia, very low blood sugar.

I remember when I was in chiropractic college, particularly before I started taking NingXia Red, I had an issue with hypoglycemia. That makes sense. I was under a lot of stress, I wasn’t getting the sleep I needed, I wasn’t getting the right foods I needed, and all those things. My body was going through adrenal exhaustion.

Again, the most common factor when that interference starts to happen, I’ve had a lot of clients say, “Oh gosh, I have to have a candy bar when I’m coming home from work,” or “I have lunch, and then a couple hours later mid-day I cannot stay awake.” Those might all be blood-sugar related. You go for the

• candy bar, • cigarettes, or• soda

to keep you awake and you just perpetuate the cycle. The problem, again, could be the adrenal glands.

Type II diabetes: We know that Type II diabetes and diabetics start to see some issues with skin, nervous system, losing sensation, eyes - all of that can be prevented.

A lot of people say to me, “Well, I have Type II diabetes. I’m never going to get better.” You can heal your body from Type II diabetes, particularly if it’s associated with the adrenal glands. Work with a health professional that’s knowledgeable in this, so that you can set a plan and go forward.

I’m going to give you some simple things, and our Action Guide will give you some more.

Light-headedness: Blood pressure can be affected. You’re seated and then you stand up and you get light headed. Your blood pressure just dropped, and that could be again an issue with the adrenal glands.

Sometimes people get diagnosed with something called Meniere’s Disease, which is like a dizziness issue with the ears, but it’s not. It’s actually an adrenal system problem.

Teeth grinding: We’re finding another common thing with adrenal exhaustion, is teeth grinding. A simple technique to deal with teeth grinding is Young Living’s lavender oil, which can be applied right on the jaw before sleep and you’ll see a decrease in this.

Marijuana: Then finally, a commonly-encountered chemical stressor to the adrenal glands is marijuana. While marijuana might or might not be safe, it’s very, very detrimental to your blood glucose levels. Someone gets the munchies after smoking pot, and this is because of what it’s doing to your blood glucose, and that over time alone can cause you to have adrenal fatigue.

Simple solutions for adrenal fatigueAll of those points put together, now let’s look at some simple solu-tions to help you if you’re in this adrenal stress stage. The first thing that we have to start with is we have to support the adrenal glands again. There’s some simple things we can do with essential oils, and other adrenal support such as NingXia Red.

Adaptogens:We can start taking things called adaptogens, which are nutrition and therapeutic essential oils that help in the body by adapting to what we need.

A very good thing to start out with in terms of adrenal fatigue is to continue to drink lots of water, maintain your blood sugar throughout the day with NingXia Red, and build nutrition to rebuild your body. NingXia Red, for those suffering with the fatigue and even the anxiety, has been very beneficial as well.

Therapeutic oils:An essential oil that you can use, and apply over the adrenal glands – you put it right on your back or you can inhale it, is called En-R-Gee oil that has a combination of therapeutic oils with specific support

for the adrenals. Nutmeg oil can also be used to help support the adrenal glands.

We need B vitamins to help support and rebuild the adrenal glands; I like something called Super B.

There’s a product I like called Multi-Green.

A woman who had immune system over activity. Her body was literally killing itself, and this product Multi-Green helped restore her health. Now that I’ve studied Multi-Green, it is a very good product also for eliminating toxins and support for the immune system.

Mineral Essence, we talked about that earlier.

A product that I absolutely love is called Power Meal, a vegetarian protein. It doesn’t have

• any dairy, • very digestible, and• tastes good.

I’m going to give you a super smoothie recipe from my good friend, Jennifer Krippin, that has Power Meal in it.

Finally, the last product, when the body needs to re-establish the adrenals it actually needs part of adrenal glands back into your system. There’s a product called Thyromin. It helps to support not only the thy-roid, but the adrenal glands, because it actually has pieces of adrenal gland put back into the system.

Just to review, we went over fatigue issues, if you’re • struggling with energy throughout the day, • just feel tired all the time, • can’t wake up in the morning, or • have lots of energy one day and then you’re wiped out the next,

then most likely you are in some stage of adrenal exhaustion. Getting back to that recovery stage takes time.

Mindset: Maybe we take some medications or we do a few things or use a few oils, but the mindset is different because right at this moment I’m not going to die, but let’s go down that path, because we learned that, that stress can lead to death.

I want you to think about that now. What would you do? Could you take a leave of absence for a period of time? What could you do? Could

you sell that car that only gets driven in the summertime to afford the products that you need? Because I will tell you, it’s no joke that most of the women I see who have all these fibromyalgia symptoms have to spend serious money every month just to maintain that nutrition to feel good, to function.

But if they take care of themselves over time, they get their life back.

We have to change that mindset. When we have the serious depression or anxiety, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue, to change the mindset to “if I do not take care of my health now, today and change my life to get rid of this stress in my life, if I don’t take care of it, five years from now, two years from now, ten years from now I may not be here.”

My prayer for you is that you can find the solution you need and you can make that decision to really take care of your health. Really honor that and take care of your health. I’m a doctor about total wellness. I’ve been going down that path myself. I hope you will join me.

Water, Food: to eat, not eat, allergiesWe’re going to focus in on food specifically, for symptoms of fibro-myalgia. But even if you don’t have fibromyalgia, what we’re going to share might be something that can help you as well.

What we’ve talked about • some of the signs and symptoms of fibromyalgia, • how costly it is, • talked about sleep, • toxins • adrenal fatigue, and • G.A.S. General Adaptation Syndrome.

We have found that stress, almost 90% or higher in terms of people who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia or any chronic disease like rheumatoid arthritis, or even Crohn’s Disease, have had some time in their life a very stressful or traumatic experience.

Fun QuizI want you to take a fun little test, so get your little pen and paper out and I want you to take the first quiz. One of the #1 reasons many of my clients just are simply in pain, and it has to kind of do with food.

Write down and be honest with yourself, how many coffees, teas, caffeinated drinks, and sodas that you have you have during the day:

_______ Regular cup of coffee or drink (add 1 for each cup that is large)

_______ Put 1, if you use sugar or sweetener other than Stevia or agave

_______ Teas

_______ Caffeinated drinks

_______ Sodas or carbonated drink

_______ A. Total caffeinated or carbonated drinks in a day

Let’s consider an 8 oz about one glass of water. How many of those do you have per day?

_______ B. Total number of 8 oz glasses of water, in a day.

_______ C: For every caffeinated or carbonated drink that you drink, you’re going to subtract one of your waters for the number of waters not cancelled by a caffeine or carbonated drink.

Make D, the number of usable ounces (see examples at the end):

• positive if your body got some usable water

• negative if you did not drink enough water to cancel the caffein-ated or carbonated drinks.

_______ E: Take your body weight ________ divide by 2.

_______ F: Take the ounces of water needed by your body E: _________ minus the number of ounces of water not canceled by caffeinated or carbonated drinks D:_________ and you have the amount you are defi-cient (negative number) or over (positive number).

I would probably guess that almost the majority of you are literally deficient in water and dehydrated. Your body is screaming for water.

WaterEvery single chronic pain client I have is dehydrated, over and over and over. As a chiropractor, we can adjust and we can adjust and adjust someone, but if their body is not hydrated they’re not going to hold the adjustment. They’re not going to get out of lasting pain. Hydration, water, is so important to your health. It really is the place that you need to start.

In fact, Dr. Colbert, a natural medical doctor, has water as one of his prime pillars of health in his seven pillars. Everything else you take, those supplements or even your medicines cannot do their job with-out water.

Now you’re probably asking, “Well, I don’t like the taste of water.” We

have something very simple that you can put a drop or two in your water that will help you want to drink more water – mint, orange, citrus-y, spearmint – or an ounce of NingXia Red.

In fact, I was talking with Ellen [Bianci] in California, and the natural medical doctor in her town has every single one of his clients on a gallon of water a day. For some of you even that’s not enough, and if you suffer from headaches, from pain, or even fatigue, your skin, you will see a huge change.

What type of water? Our tap is the last place that we want to get water; so is bottled water because of estrogens. The plastic gives off a little chemical which acts like a fake hormone in our body, and maybe makes your body still feel thirsty. Not only are you getting the chemicals, but the water is very acidic, and acid water does not really hydrate the system.

As you’re getting more water into your system, you’re just going to be running to the bathroom for seven days, but then after that your body is going to start to take in the water, take in the water.

You can alkalize water by using an alkalyzer machine, which usually cost several thousand dollars. A simple way to alkalize their water is use a product called Alkalime

“When I was going through my chemo, one of the many things I did was I drank water, probably close to two gallons of water a day. I did use the Alkalime. I was using I think it was a teaspoon for every half gallon that I was consuming, and that did help flush out the residual of the chemicals from the chemo.” Michael Welch.

Start tonight. Then tomorrow what you can do as well is start your morning, right when you wake up in the morning, drink 16 ounces of water.

Foods you are eatingOne thing about food that you need to understand is that particularly plants have the most accessible energy. What do I mean by that? If you grow a garden and you grow lettuce or carrots or whatever you’re growing, you go out and you pick that fresh, and it has the highest amount of vegetables, nutrients, and something called enzymes.

Write this down – fresh is best.

T I P

How to Alkalize water:Use Alkalime but instead of taking

a full dose:

� take a little pinch and throw it in your water.

� add your oils in if you want, and you’re drinking the water

Have you ever been to the grocery store and you’ve seen those huge commercially grown oranges, and you buy one and you’re like, “Wow, this is going to be so good!” and then you bite into it and it has like no flavor? But then you go and buy an organic orange, which is small, it looks a little dirty on the outside, and you bite into it and it’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever tasted. You’re paying for organic not just for the lack of chemicals – no pesticides, no harmful fertilizers – but for the nutritional value.

Raw foods have enzymes. When we cook the food, we usually cook away the enzymes; enzymes process every single thing in our body. Enzymes are a great way not only to get the nutrition out of your food, but to have better digestion.

Microwaving food takes the nutrients and the enzymes away. It’s very, very important to add enzymes to your diet. If you’re someone who struggles with pain and has fibromyalgia, it is an absolute necessity. I’ll repeat that, an absolute necessity, in my opinion.

One of my favorite enzymes that I like is called Essentialzyme because not only do I see results digestively with people who have a lot of bloating, who can’t digest certain foods, but a lot of times their pain decreases

Anybody want to share with us a story about Young Living enzymes, Essentialzyme or maybe Detoxyme has done in their health?

“My daughter is 10 and had headaches sometimes. We never did know why and we never could narrow it down to anything, so we just started thinking maybe she’s allergic to something she ate. We’d give her enzymes and Essentialzyme when she has a headache, and it almost always goes away.” Dawn

“If somebody gets a tummy ache, we use Essentialzyme when we run out we use Detoxzyme, which works just as well.” Maryann

“I rubbed Thieves oil on my belly and my belly actually went down. It felt really good, it felt really warm, and the belly just went right down in the matter of about a day or two.” Karen

Artificial sweeteners:The next thing if you’re someone who suffers with pain or you’ve had issues, you want to be aware of artificial sweeteners like Splenda, Nutrasweet, and Saccharin. They’ve done quite a bit of research and found evidence about some of the harmful effects.

Please do your research and you will see brain lesions, you will evi-

dence linked to muscular problems, pain problems, and it’s just chemi-cals. I’m sorry, but the evidence is not out that Splenda is safe, and I don’t feel that. Even some people have issues with things like xylitol, because it’s corn-based.

My favorite sweetener of all things is stevia. Young Living’s stevia it’s very tar-like, it’s very dark because of all the minerals are still in there. My second choice would probably be Young Living’s agave. My third choice would be grade B maple syrup if you don’t have what we’re going to talk about next, which is yeast and candida.

I understand that it’s not going to be an overnight fix, but you can slowly start to implement like Debbie did this whole entire year. Little by little she just made changes in her home, and grew to really like some of these things.

Yeast or Candida:If you’re a woman you’ve probably heard of yeast infections. It’s uncomfortable. It’s something you get. If you’re a man you might be familiar with athlete’s foot or jock itch. Those are kind of all in the same fungal family. It’s a fungus.

Yeast lives in our digestive tract, along with this good bacteria, in bal-ance with good bacteria. But what can happen, even at a very young, young age, that every time you have an antibiotic, the antibiotic kills the good bacteria and then the yeast starts to take over. That’s why a lot of women who have an antibiotic will get yeast infections.

I was consulting with a woman whose 9-month-old baby had digestive problems. She wasn’t pooping, and she hadn’t since she was born. After asking questions and questions and questions, and we finally found out the baby had been put on antibiotics right from birth after a c-section, killing off all the baby’s natural immunity.

So what can yeast do for you? Ready for your second quiz? I’m not actually going to give you the full quiz because it would take quite some time, but you can go online or in your Action Guide – you’ll get your Action Guide when the classes are all over – and you’ll have a full candida questionnaire. This is from that questionnaire.

9 = almost debilitating

I feel yeast is one of the #1 problems with fibromyalgia. I think almost all fibromyalgia clients that I see have both the adrenal issues that we talked about last week and issues with candida.

TOTA L

If you said yes to either mild, moderate, or severe to five or more of symptoms, then you know at some level your body has yeast. If you said yes to a lot more than five, then you are probably struggling much more, and a lot of what you’re struggling with can be yeast-related.

Yeast:You have to understand when yeast starts to overgrow in your system,

A S I D E N OT E:

The majority of your body’s neu-rotransmitters, your happy feel-ing little neurotransmitters – liter-ally your brain, right? – live in the gut. You ever heard something like, “I’ve got a gut feeling”?

Page 34: FIBROMYALGIA ACTION GUIDE - The Total Wellness DocA Wholistic Approach to Wellness. Fibromyalgia action Guide Stop Pain Eliminate Fibromyalgia ... What is Fibromyalgia, the Cost, the

particularly in the gut lining, what will happen over time is it becomes very virulent. It starts to grow little stalks into your gut, and make holes in the gut lining that can cause things like

• Irritation,• Diverticulitis,• irritable bowel syndrome, or • leaky gut syndrome, because what you’re doing is you’re creat-

ing holes.

That’s want happens to some you might know that every time they eat, or for periods of time they’ll go, “Every time I eat I get so bloated. I look like I’m pregnant. Look what’s happening!” When you stop feeding it, it starts to die off, and when it starts to die you can feel real irritable and can even feel like you have flu-like symptoms for a day or two.

In fact, you can have 10, 15, up to 20 lbs of just yeast in your system. When you take an essential oil like Karen did in her water and started drinking it, she said, “My belly went right down,” because her body was starting to kill off the yeast, and as the yeast were dying they weren’t taking up all that room as well. So Thieves is a very good product to take if you have yeast. The supplement that kills the yeast the best is something called Inner Defense. That’s a combination of therapeutic oils that go in and kill the yeast.

You want to do a combination of killing yeast and rebuilding good bacteria. I really, really like something called Life 5, which also helps with constipation. Officially what kills the yeast is things like Thieves, Young Living’s oregano oil, as well as the Inner Defense.

Tartaric acidIn the cycle of yeast build-up is that an acid called tartaric acid increases, and yeast build-up messes up how the body deals with glucose by pro-ducing this acid, which gets into the muscles and can cause muscle pain, so it is a process to get rid of it, in fact, it can take quite some time.

Have you ever heard of the Atkins diet or the South Beach diet, where people eat a lot of protein and vegetables, and these diets are sup-posedly so successful? The reason they’re successful is really they’re just yeast-killing diets.

Now if you have a big adrenal problem, you’ll see a little bit of weight loss, or you’ll see it for a period of time, and then a lot of times you’ll gain back the weight unless you can deal with the adrenals and the stress hormone.

Food allergiesThis also brings up an issue of food allergies. When you get those little holes in the intestine, or you’re constantly eating the same foods day in and day out, day in and day out, or your body is exposed to a lot of things that you may not realize, like corn that is in so many of our products, you can become allergic.

Some people with food allergies will • sneeze more, • break out, • have more respiratory problems, or • have more pain.

In fact, I had a woman who ate very, very well, but she had pain in her back of about a 7 out of 10, every day. We looked at her diet and the only thing she had every day was one piece of dark chocolate, a small little block of dark chocolate every single day. We decided let’s just try and take it out. Do you know that her pain went from 7 out of 10 down to 3 out of 10 in just a matter of days, just getting rid of one thing.

So many times people tell me, “Oh, I tried that, or I did that, or I tried elimination.” No, you didn’t. I would probably guarantee that you didn’t really do it to the extent that you have to.

For example, eliminating corn – corn syrup is in almost everything – ketchup, your foods, and that we could do a whole class on too. You can look up some elimination diets, and we’ll give you some references to look at in your Action Guide as well.

A common thing that people are sensitive to, though, for fibromyalgia is something called gluten, and gluten is in a lot of wheat products. If gluten is a sensitivity to you, you will probably have more issues with anxiety, depression, even severe.

“In seven weeks, I’ve released 20 pounds and feeling a lot better from what I eat. I don’t eat wheat products. I’m eating a bread called Eze-kiel, and those are all live sprouts. Also quinoa, I will have that. And I’m eating five times a day.” Maryann

“Switch from wheat to brown rice pasta. It’s much more filling. It’s more dense, #1, and it’s very filling and it’s much better for you, and it’s delicious, no matter who makes it.” Mike Welch

We just heard from two individuals who are great examples for all

of us to not wait until death is literally knocking on your door. Don’t wait to make the changes. Don’t wait to start drinking more water. You do not know what that change could do for your long-term health or even for tomorrow.

A low carbohydrate diet typically has no sugars and no white products. We need to look at are there any food allergies associated with your pain or the issues you have going on.

When you get rid of the yeast, if you have sleep issues, you’ll notice that that improves very significantly, because that tartaric acid really interrupts sleep - you can’t get comfortable.

We talked about yeast and leaky gut syndrome and food allergies. In the last minutes we have I just want to share with you a few foods to stay away from and a few foods to start adding to your diet.

Foods to AvoidMilk, if you don’t know already, is really not great for us. It’s not. If we were meant to have cow’s milk, then our mothers would have udders instead of breasts. I see people drink gallons of milk, and in that kind of dosage there’s almost endorphins like chocolate that’s produced in milk that builds up a lot of mucous in your system, so in the mornings you might wake up with that hacking acid mucous.

Remember this, • mucous = acid, • acid = mucous, and • acid leads to almost all disease. Mucous-acid-disease.

Allergies, post-nasal drip, and milk can cause our vasculature to be leaky, like the dark circles we see under eyes. That’s a lot of times a food allergy or eating something your body doesn’t tolerate well.

Milk and acne. A lot of times for young kids that I see, if you take out the milk their noses will stop running, they’ll stop being sick all the time.

“Yes. I was one of those people you talked about. I probably could drink a gallon of milk every two or three days. I had been treated for asthma, chronic cough to the point I would almost pass out from coughing, runny nose constantly and allergy symptoms, and post-nasal drip. Since you started me on almond milk, I’ve had one cold, absolutely no asthma symptoms or cough and reduced my medica-tions from 14 to 1.” Debbie

CornThe next thing that we need to look at is corn. If you don’t know that already, corn is not a vegetable. We should be eating 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 vegetables a day if you could, but really getting at least 5 vegetables in a day is absolutely important.

Corn, corn syrup, corn products, it’s in so many things; you just really need to be aware of that and start to eliminate. In fact, even when I get corn on the cob, if it’s not organic, I will get sneezy just like I had sugar, because corn turns into sugar very quickly. If you like popcorn, don’t have it all the time, and make sure you’re buying organic non-GMO corn.

Potatoes:The next thing is potatoes. If you think of a big white potato, a baked potato, if you eat a lot of those you’re going to start to look like them. You’re going to get nice big and round in the middle. Potatoes many times cause our cortisol, our stress hormone, to go up, so if you’re eating potatoes, why don’t you try to switch to the sweet potatoes.

An organic sweet potato or a yam is highly, highly good for your body. In fact, it’s one of the first foods they have babies eat, because it’s so full of nutrition, digestible, and very, very good. I’m not talking with brown sugar, I’m talking either plain with butter – yes, you can have plain organic butter – or something else I’ll talk about in a second.

Canned or packaged products:The next is canned or packaged products. The ingredient in some canned and packaged foods, in particular called MSG, is very toxic. It’s a neurotoxin in our body.

Her story is very profound of how she got her health back and using Young Living products to do that, to eliminate the toxins in her body and to heal her body. So watch out for canned and packaged foods.

Fast foods:I admit that I eat fast foods once in a while, but even the other day I went to a little local restaurant and I had a nice salad and I had a side of sweet potato fries, but because they were fried I started not feeling good. I had some redness in my face.

I used to recommend things like Wendy’s salads, but I’m really seeing those processed salads have so many chemicals in them. So look, if

Page 38: FIBROMYALGIA ACTION GUIDE - The Total Wellness DocA Wholistic Approach to Wellness. Fibromyalgia action Guide Stop Pain Eliminate Fibromyalgia ... What is Fibromyalgia, the Cost, the

Fibromyalgia Action Guide: Stop Pain, Eliminate Fibromyalgia 35

Copyright © 2011 by Dr. Mary Starr Parmley-Carter all rights reserved www.thetotalwellnessdoc.com

you have to, for a good salad bar, or make and carry your own.

Test your body. See how you feel. See how you feel before, see how you feel afterwards. If you’re feeling lethargic, tired, if you have a slight headache, you know what you just ate is not agreeing in your system.

For those of you who are not feeling good already, I recommend to stay away from that as much as possible.

Foods to AddLet’s talk about five foods you want to add. One we already talked about, not a food, but water. Water, water, water, water. If anything you got out of this class, start with water.

Coconut oil: I usually like it in glass when I can find it. To me it’s like a butter, because that’s the way I use it. I might take a piece of Ezekiel bread, I’ll take some of the coconut oil that has the consistency of butter if it’s below 75 degrees. I’ll put that on my toast and I’ll put a little bit of Redmond Real Salt, and it’s just like butter.

You want to cook with coconut oil, but the reason is it can go up to a very high heat, much higher than olive oil. Olive oil will go kind of like rancid when you’re cooking at high heat.

For those of you who tested positive for yeast, you want to do 1-2 TBS a day to help your body kill off the yeast. It’s very good for killing yeast.

If you have teeth issues – which yeast and bacteria and infection can give you – you take a little bit of coconut oil, put it in your mouth, like a teaspoon, swish it all around, get it all through your teeth, and it’s very good at killing that. It helps to whiten the teeth and it’s amazing for your thyroid. In fact, it’s great for your skin too.

Speaking of skin, I have two friends, one who had psoriasis and one has psoriasis. This one gentleman friend of mine doesn’t really want to change his ways. The other gentleman stayed committed for a year. Very shortly after he started his protocol, both of these men had psoriasis, his psoriasis started to go away, and I think it’s almost completely gone now.

Avacado:What’s that mean to you? The point is a yeast-free diet, getting things like coconut oil and the next thing, avocados, really really good fats in your body. In fact, half an avocado a day is going to help lower your

Dr. Mary Starr Parmley-Carter36

.

stress hormone. It’s going to give you the good fat. It’s going to help you actually lose weight, ironically. That good fat is going to help you lose weight, and it’s going to help to lower the inflammation from acid in your system.

So if you’re going to change your diet and be consistent with it, you’re going to get results, like our one friend did, because he was consistent, whether it’s a skin issue, whether it’s pain, whatever it is.

Apple cider vinegarThe next thing is apple cider vinegar. Boy oh boy, is this a good product. The apple cider vinegar you want to get is called Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar with a mother in it. The mother has a lot of enzymes in it that go into the body to help to heal the body, help with weight loss and is very, very good.

Lemons:The final food I feel is important is organic lemons. Every morning when you wake up, squeeze a half of an organic lemon in 8-16 ounces of water and drink that first thing. You will find that ironically the acid turns alkaline in your body and helps to flush the acid and chemicals out. Many, many clients who I’ve had who’ve done this, not only did they notice a decrease in their pain, but they have improved bowel function and they feel phenomenal.

PainWhat’s wonderful and not so wonderful, fibromyalgia is a very, very complex condition. It’s very much like a puzzle.

It’s our final section is about pain, and I thought what better person to talk to you tonight about pain than the woman who I really started this career in helping people with, Kathryn Faso.

Kathryn’s story, which you’re about to hear, truly not only can help you, but it can help hundreds of people that you know. I say that because pain and fibromyalgia go hand in hand, but some people are in excru-ciating pain every day. Thank you, Kathryn, for sharing your story.

“Nine years ago, in my mid-40’s, I was told by an osteopath that I had overuse syndrome, which meant I would have to live with pain the rest of my life and basically not be able to use my muscles to lift things, even a gallon of milk, it would drop out of my hand without me realizing it was going to happen and my hip was so sore and weak I couldn’t climb stairs

Five years ago, a traveling nurse who suffered extremely from fibro-myalgia came to my house clutching a bottle to her chest. She was excited, she was happy, and she said to me when she came in, ‘I will never be without this! I will never be without this!’ and I said, ‘What is it?’ and she showed me the bottle and it said Sulfurzyme. She said, ‘Ever since I’ve been on this, my pain has disappeared!’

I realized, ‘Oh my goodness, this is what I need to try.’ I had been using wintergreen oil that made it feel better, but I wasn’t getting my strength back. After using 8 caps of the Sulfurzyme a day, 4 in the morning, 4 at night for between 6 and 8 weeks, I started to realize I felt like I had my strength back, and felt good at 6:00 at night, not debilitated, not drained, not weak.

I went from not being able to lift a milk bottle, it would just kind of fall out of my hand, a gallon of milk or water, having my whole side basically completely disabled for five years, going back to the doctor almost monthly, to now climb roofs, love to do construction, spend time outdoors and active.

To this day I take Sulfurzyme, but 4 caps a day now. Today I am very strong and feel good. I added NingXia Red to my regimen and abso-lutely will not go without, but Sulfurzyme was my saving grace. Since then, I have challenged myself to be a little bit of a roofer at times and participate in building my own home. I love to do construction work.” Kathryn

“I sent a woman from Pasadena, California, who had extreme shoulder pain for many, many months that just wouldn’t go away, a bottle of PanAway. Within 30 days she had no more pain in her shoulder and it absolutely went away.” One woman’s story

“Nutiva coconut oil tastes really good. We don’t have popcorn often, but when we do have it we like to use that as the oil to pop the popcorn with. It kind of makes it taste like kettle corn.“ Dawn

This Sulfurzyme and the high-quality methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is very, very high quality MSM and the Ningxia wolfberry put together. A lot of people out there will say, “Well, I’ve taken MSM or I’ve tried that.” Well, you haven’t tried this. This product works very synergisti-cally together and it doesn’t just help your pain.

We have people email us and call in and ask about allergies and this pain and that pain. You are going to see a myriad of things happen. Not only will your hair start growing, your nails will start growing, eyesight, but your immune system. This product is very, very good in helping to reduce histamines which cause allergies.

You’ll see a change in your digestive system. You’ll see a change. If you’re a person who has immune system disorder like rheumatoid or like lupus, it’s a very, very good product, but it is the higher doses.

Now, Kathryn’s a small woman and at the peak she was taking 8 a day. Some of you, yes, will have to take 16 a day for months and months to really get that into your system.

I’ll tell you a little bit of the science behind this. The MSM is like a protein-building compound. It’s found in breast milk, fresh fruit, and vegetables, and then the Ningxia wolfberry is a particular wolfberry called the Lycium barbarum, and what they do together is they really balance the immune system.

So for those of you whose bodies are attacking itself – that’s an immune system disorder, like rheumatoid, like lupus, like thyroid disease – what this does is help bring the immune system back into balance, but it also equalizes water pressure inside our cells.

What does that mean? If you’ve been plagued with bursitis, arthritis, tendonitis, tennis elbow, all of those things, you will see a change with this. Kathryn, I know you know many dogs and animals we’ve seen amazing things happen with skin disorders and with allergies when people have given Sulfurzyme to their pets.

“One of my dogs was having trouble with some arthritis, and I sprin-kled a Sulfurzyme on the dog food and saw results within two feed-ings.” Kathryn

That’s a good point, Kathryn, that there’s really three types of people Whether you’re someone who has fibromyalgia or not, we all have different levels of commitment. Maybe we lack time, the energy to do it, or maybe we just need something quick to get us into a state where we can think clearer, we can get to work, and we can start making meals for our family.

So you can start really three different ways with everything that we’ve talked about. You can start using an oil topically today. We’ve talked about PanAway, but we have other oils like Deep Relief. Or you can start with a combination.

We shared on this call several times about Ningxia Red and the power that Ningxia Red has of balancing our hormones and truly helping our body. So you can use the oils and maybe one thing, or you can do a full-out cleansing and start on that path, or you can work your way up to that.

We’re not here to judge, whether you’re like me or whether you’re like Kathryn. You have to start where you can start, but we’re telling you stories and you’re going to hear that there are results out there for you.

“Actually Deep Relief was a God-send for me last night. You know I had a sore neck and headache and every two hours I was putting it up and down my neck and on the side of my temples. It took a little while the last time, but I get such relief from it. I have given up Advil, Motrin, Mobic, all the pain killers that I was taking prior to the Deep Relief.” Debbie

“I fell really violently off the bicycle while I was in Germany and felt like my hands were broken or really badly bruised. I used Release just to get rid of the trauma, and then rubbed Thieves oil and peppermint on my hands. That night I basically could move my hands just fine.” Meka

You know, you bring up a great point that when something happens to us on the physical, even if we sprain our ankle or have a fall, there’s a physiological reaction that happens, but there’s also the emotion that comes with it.

New science is showing that every cell in our body has a memory, and what she did is she used the oil of Release and the aromatherapy, because we need to smell a smell, it goes directly to a part of our brain, the limbic part of our brain, the emotional center, and use that to help relieve some of that trauma, to calm herself down.

She used the Thieves, which has clove in it. I think it was my third or fourth year of using Young Living when people started sharing with me testimonies about Thieves and pain – for an ingrown toenail, for everything.

Peppermint is one of the best oils you can have for inflammation. They’ve actually done research and found in 1994 that it actually blocks the calcium channel and something called substance P. Just think of substance P as pain. It helps to block the pain signals, so peppermint is very, very good if you’re someone who struggles with pain. It works like an anti-inflammatory. It’s great for sinus pain. I know that’s how I started when I first used that as well.

Raindrop techniqueLet’s talk about the Raindrop Technique, because that’s really where I began my career back in 1999. I started my career by doing Raindrop Technique for people, some of which had pain, some of which had different health issues, a variety of different things.

I have a good friend on Facebook, Carol, who was basically disabled with fibromyalgia after an auto accident, and someone told her to try the Raindrop Technique. Raindrop Technique is the use of nine therapeutic oils along the thigh and the neck and the feet in a par-ticular fashion, using the hands, similar to a massage, but not really a massage, and this technique helped Carol get her life back.

Her story is not the only one of those stories that I’ve heard, where someone has gotten a Raindrop Technique and literally had a life-transforming something happen to them. I’ve seen things like people who no longer are lactose tolerant after a Raindrop Technique. I’ve done Raindrops on people who haven’t smoked in over 30 years, and I can smell the cigarette smoke coming off of them. Why? Because the oils go in and they work very particularly.

My practice has over 80% of my clients that have either been diag-nosed with fibromyalgia sometime in their life or have some of these symptoms and is full because this technique is phenomenal for all those things – for sleeping, for pain, for back pain, for dealing with just emotional balance, and the list goes on.

I have worked with people who could not lay on their back to sleep at night without pain since 1975, and after their fifth Raindrop were able to lay on their back.

I have seen professionals who suffer with chronic asthma, and after the third oil we got on his back he was able to breathe. In fact, afterwards he said, “I breathe like I only breathed one time a year, when the snow falls. I just go outside and I fill my lungs with air. After that third oil was on my back I could breathe like that.”

Why is that? Because the oils in the Raindrop Technique – oregano, thyme, basil, marjoram, Cyprus, wintergreen, peppermint work very synergistically, anti-inflammatory, help circulation, and kill viruses.

Did you know that virus living in the spine could cause very bad pain? Some of you who’ve suffered from shingles, you know that, because that herpes zoster virus lives in the spine. In fact, they’re finding out that a lot of inflammatory bacteria and virus hide in the spine.

Some of you who have sciatica, you will see results with the Raindrop Technique. It’s very, very beneficial, I believe one of the most beneficial techniques I’ve ever seen. If you’ve had massage you’re going to love Raindrop, because it’s like a massage that lasts weeks.

“I’ve been to Dr. Mary twice for a Raindrop Technique. One time when I’d had terrible shoulder pain where my fibromyalgia hits, behind my neck and those tender points, she worked on me and actually smelled some chemicals that came out of my body – possibly from chemo or some kind of personal care products, possibly used years ago.

About a year ago I was taking supplements, and started water exer-cises and became exposed to chlorine that was being put into a public pool. After a foot detox Dr. Starr smelled the chlorine. I haven’t been in the pool since, and if I do go in I would definitely put on lavender oil before and after.

I’m also eating differently, doing brain training to change my thinking patterns, negative thinking patterns. As all of this comes together, I feel better than I felt even after I finished the chemo, lost 22.2 pounds in about eight weeks, and feel so wonderful and alive.” Maryann

You know why that’s a good testimony too? Maryann was one of the first people to be not only tested for fibromyalgia, Maryann, but you were disabled with this condition. We talked about how toxins could be contributing to that, and adrenal fatigue. It’s all a puzzle and you are having amazing results using the products every day.

It’s such a great story for other women and those who suffer from fibromyalgia, that it’s not a quick fix. You are going to have to do hard work. We know you’ve been doing a lot of great hard work lately, changing your eating, you’ve been taking your supplements, you’ve been changing things in your household to lower your stress levels, you’ve been exercising, you’ve been kind of putting all of this together.

We are here at TheTotalWellnessDoc.com to help give you some ideas, some solutions, stories, hope that you can understand that people are getting better. They are getting better, but it’s going to take some effort. It’s going to take some time.

If you’re struggling with pain and the pain is just so horrific, like stories I’ve heard where they feel like their muscles are being ripped off the bone, if that is you, let’s start you right away with using some things like the Raindrop Technique. Let’s start right away with using some things like Sulfurzyme internally. Let’s start using some PanAway, some Deep Relief.

Carrie’s storyI want to tell you a story that just happened last night. I’ve been work-ing with this one client, Carrie, for several years and we’ve seen results at levels that are okay, and we’ve come to some conclusions.

For example, she realized that gluten, sugar, yeast, and candida were a problem in her health. When she eliminates these things she feels better, gets more rest, but never sees dramatic results. In fact, her sleep pattern may be 2-3 hours at a time of rest, then she’ll wake up, she’ll be up for a couple hours, then she’ll go back to sleep. We had used a variety of supplements, using sometimes on Sulfurzyme, sometimes off.

We found the piece was something hormonally. We specifically found that using Progessence Plus Serum before bed, two drops right over the carotid artery, and for the first time in almost 15 years she slept five hours or more straight a night. She goes, “I’m doing great!” She looked phenomenal. I hadn’t seen her in two weeks. She goes, “I really feel it’s because of the sleep. I haven’t changed what I was eating. In

PanAway

Tip: use your Sulfurzyme along with your PanAway, because what’s in Pan-Away has wintergreen, which acts like a natural cortisone, peppermint, which helps with the inflammation, and clove, which helps with the pain.

fact, I was in the sugar and I was into some of the gluten, but I’m feel-ing much better.”

So remember, if your piece of the puzzle is the hormone piece, then you can try a lot of things and get so much better, but not get fully better. If your piece of the puzzle is the yeast and candida major piece – most of us have multiple things going on, so that’s what we have to do.

Cory’s storyOr for example, Cory, who was in two very bad accidents and on mul-tiple medications – I believe she said 10 total and most of them were some kind of pain medication. Cory, through Raindrop Technique, using Ningxia Red, changing her diet, and cleansing her body, she’s been able to get off all those medications, to heal her body, and been out of pain most of the time now.

What will you choose:So it’s really up to you. What choice are you going to make? What choice can you make? Look at your time, look at your energy, look at your finances, because getting healthy is going to take all of those things. In fact, you may have to carve out a budget. Some people I literally know have had to get a part-time job to get what they need to get healthy for a season of time.

You heard Kathryn’s story. Kathryn says, “I really am good, but I’m not a full-out cleanser. I’m not going to do all those things,” so she was able to reduce her Sulfurzyme by half, 50%, but she has to stay on it. And there’s some people who will go so healthy, so clean, that they’ll be able to almost eliminate everything.

I do think in today’s society and the food we eat, most all of us will have to take some form of supplementation, some form of extra nutrition in our diet for a lifetime.

I see we have a hand raised. Go ahead and ask your question.

Caller: Yes, hi. I’m new to this whole thing. I do have a friend who rep-resents the essential oils and that’s how I got connected with you. I am limited fund-wise and I’m just wondering – I have severe fibromyalgia, diabetes, and Lyme’s disease – where do I start?

Dr. Starr: That’s a great question. Is this the first call that you’ve been on?

Caller: Actually I pulled your information off the internet the first time, and this is the first live call, yes.

Dr. Starr: Okay, great. I want to share with you one thing, and you bring up a great point that I haven’t addressed, so I’m going to address that now. It’s the connection between Lyme’s disease and fibromyalgia.

I don’t know if Janice has shared her testimony on this call, but we’ll make sure that you get her information. Janice was a woman who was diagnosed with Lyme’s Disease, but experienced fibromyalgia pain up to the point of her diagnosis.

Now, I believe as a professional, and I may be disagreeing with your professionals that you’re working with, that many times fibromyalgia is a mis-diagnosis for Lyme’s Disease. That being said, you can also have things like adrenal fatigue, you can have your immune system going out of whack in addition to the Lyme’s Disease, and have things like rheumatoid. I see a lot of inflammatory bladder disorder, and all those things coming together.

Where would you start if you don’t have a lot of time? Well, you have to look at things in perspective. If you keep going down the path you’re going, will it come to the point where it won’t matter because you won’t be able to function? So where can you start?

Caller: It’s not time that I don’t have. I’m very full of time. I don’t have resources.

Dr. Starr: Okay. Well, a great place to start with then to help your body with a natural anti-inflammatory that’s very, very inexpensive, probably less expensive than any medication and any over-the-counter medica-tion, is wintergreen. It’s a very inexpensive oil to help start to heal your body. It starts to work with your own body’s healing ability, to increase that to stop some of the inflammation.

We’ve seen women who have had a variety of different things like digestive issues, Crohn’s disease, and things like that, use it right over the belly. Women and men who have had prostate or bladder issues use that right over the lower abdomen area.

Now, understand we can’t diagnose and prescribe over the phone, but we can share with you stories of what people in your situation could do and could start with, and that would be a great start because it’s very inexpensive and you could go there.

If you’re very serious about that, I’m sure that the person who invited you onto this call, like Kathryn who introduced the PanAway to some-one because it worked so good for her, she wanted to talk about it. If you talk about wintergreen and people purchase that, then hopefully that could be a way for you to get some of the finances you need to get the products that you need.

I’m a person who believes in two things very strongly. I believe in being healthy, being fit in our body, mind, and our spirit, but also our financial fitness. I do not want to see people go into terrible financial debt to start something or do something that is not going to truly give back.

So if there is a way that you could look at getting your products paid for, like one of our guests was saying, Angela Brooks, who is a nurse who works night shift. She’s a very busy mom. She does a lot of things, and she wants to save for her retirement. She wants to go on more vacations. She wants to do those things.

She loved the products so much, she got results with the products, she started sharing the products, and she’s making a residual income every month just doing that. That is not for everyone, but where there’s a will there is a way.
