Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been in private practice for over 21 years and I have successfully treated thousands of patients who have suffered for years with FMS. Many of my patients swear by this book and many of my new FMS patients simply swear because they wish that they had found this book sooner. Two words: Buy it!

Roughly 6 to 8 million people in the United States alone are afflicted with fibromyalgia. A widespread muscular-skeletal syndrome, fibromyalgia touches people of all ages, male and female, as an unrelieved aching and burning pain, often accompanied by fatigue, that leaves its victims feeling exhausted. Fibromyalgia inflicts terrible wounds that leave no scars, and it is very difficult to treat. While drugs and pain suppressants are available, healthy food alternatives, including herbs and other natural foods, also help in combating the pain and exhaustion associated with the syndrome. The Fibromyalgia Cookbook is designed to help those who suffer from this affliction to find relief from their discomfort. An introduction by Dr. Alison Bested explains the nature of fibromyalgia and the role of diet in finding relief from its symptoms.The rules are few and basic:
No read meat
No green peppers
No eggplant
Avoid heavy, starchy food
The diet is low in sodium and low in fat, with no processed sugars. (Natural sweeteners such as honey and fruit are used.)
No white flour (spelt flour and rice pasta are good substitutes.)
Soy butter, virgin olive oil, and flaxseed oil are suggested for salads.
Many other satisfying possibilities are provided!
Focusing on natural foods and herbs, the authors emphasize pure foods with no additives, the lowest levels of toxins, and the greatest amount of nutritional value. The Fibromyalgia Cookbook contains a glossary which explains the strengths and dangers of specific foods, and 124 delicious recipes, divided into:
Soups
Salads
Veggies
Fibro-Fish Dishes
Dressings
