It is estimated that at least 200 million people worldwide suffer from a
chronic condition that continues to baffle the medical community...

..Fibromyalgia.

Their days consist of pain. Everywhere -- in their back, neck, shoulders, hips and more. The pain is often so bad it causes loss of sleep, so they frequently have fatigue, too.

As if THAT wasn't enough, people with fibromyalgia often suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

And there's even MORE.

Fibromyalgia sufferers can also experience extreme sensitivity to touch, migraines, bladder problems, temporomandibular joint problems (TMJ), difficulty concentrating, dizziness, nasal congestion and numbness or swelling in the hands or feet.

Many times they have depression, too. With all that going on, it's no wonder.
 

Big Pharma's grim offerings

Since fibromyalgia still remains somewhat of a mystery to today's mainstream medical folks, the only solutions they can offer are drugs that (are supposed to) address the symptoms.

Drugs like anti-inflammatory drugs, antidepressants, anticonvulsants and sleeping pills. Unbelievable.

One study showed that 90% of people treated with anti-inflammatory drugs were still symptomatic after 3 years! But does that stop docs from prescribing them? Not too often.

And of course that's not even considering the side effects from the drugs that they've had to suffer with as well.

Long-term use of anti-inflammatories can lead to gastritis and other GI problems (on top of the IBS symptoms that many sufferers already have), and sleeping pills (like Ambien) can cause drowsiness, stomach upset, dependence, headaches, memory problems and even hallucinations.

Antidepressants are no better. Some of the common effects of antidepressants like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Lexapro, and Celexa include:

- Nausea
- Nervousness
- Headaches
- Sleepiness
- Sexual dysfunction
- Dizziness
- Stomach upset
- Weight gain

Plus, the elevated levels of serotonin caused by these drugs in some cases can cause changes in your cell neurons that are classified as brain damage!

And ALL antidepressants are required by the FDA to carry a warning about the risk of suicidal thoughts, hostility, and agitation.

Oh, and by the way, on top of all that, you stand a great chance of STILL hurting from head to toe from fibromyalgia.
 

The exciting news!

As bleak as fibromyalgia may sound, there have been some exciting studies and developments in the area of natural measures that SAFELY address not only the symptoms of fibromyalgia but one of the common underlying causes.

So here is the exciting news (for a change) for fibromyalgia sufferers--things that can actually help and NOT hurt:

1) Foods/substances that make fibromyalgia worse

While these are no "universal offenders," many people have been helped by avoiding the following:

1- Aspartame (NutraSweet)

There's a pain receptor in your nervous system known as NMDA, and when you get chronic pain, this NMDA pain receptor is opened up. Aspartame (which is considered an excitotoxin) helps to stimulate the opening of this receptor, thereby encouraging pain.

2- Food additives like MSG (monosodium glutamate) and nitrates

Like aspartame, MSG is classified as an excitotoxin and has the same potential to affect NMDA receptors, as do nitrates (found in processed meats like bologna, ham and bacon).

3- Refined carbohydrates (sugar, white flour, white rice)

These feed the harmful bacteria in your gut which can make fibromyalgia-related GI symptoms even worse. Plus, refined carbs can lead to acid waste accumulation in your body and worsen inflammation and pain (more on that below).

4- Caffeine

Caffeine can cause an artificial energy boost for a while, but it's typically followed by a crash--which can worsen the fatigue fibromyalgia sufferers typically have.

5- Dairy

Like refined carbs, dairy is an acid-forming food which can lead to worsening inflammation.

6- Possibly nightshades

Although they are very nutritious and offer health benefits, some people have experienced flare-ups of inflammatory problems (like arthritis and fibromyalgia) when they eat vegetables from the nightshade family--including bell peppers, tomatoes and eggplant.

If you experience a worsening in your symptoms from these vegetables, they are best avoided.
 

2) Minimizing acid reduces fibromyalgia pain

When foods are eaten that nourish your body and can be digested efficiently, all of your systems, muscles, bones and joints are encouraged to work like a well-oiled machine... Nutrients get absorbed and transported by the bloodstream to where they need to go, keeping all your organs and tissues healthy. Cellular waste products are carted away. Oxygen-rich blood nourishes all your cells.

But when you instead eat foods that create a large amount of acid wastes...well, sickness and disease become your reality.

When acid creating foods are eaten (and foods like this are ABUNDANT in our "Standard American Diet" or SAD--interesting acronym), the acidy residue from those foods doesn't just disappear once the food is digested and you have a bowel movement.

No way -- it sticks around and makes you sick instead.

Acid creating foods make toxins--like poisons--in your body. These toxins can get absorbed into your bloodstream from the intestines and from there are carried all over your body where they encourage inflammation and pain.

Your body tries to defend itself against acid by dumping it into your urine, using its own minerals (from your muscles and bones) to buffer it or having your lymphatic system eliminate it.

But when there's a consistent daily onslaught of acid from your food going in, your body can reach the point where it can't keep up.

And toxins that accumulate in your muscles and connective tissues can come out as...

...Fibromyalgia.

So to fight (or help prevent) fibromyalgia, it's essential to eat foods and meals that are digested easily and minimize acid wastes.

And that is precisely what I will teach you to do in the Great Taste No Pain health system.

The Great Taste No Pain guides will show you how to eliminate acidity from your body by eating delicious, nourishing foods in the combinations that make for easy digestion and assimilation.

Now, this isn't a "diet" -- get that 4-letter word right out of your head!

It's a VERY satisfying and enjoyable eating lifestyle that works with how your body digests foods and helps enhance the effectiveness of your various digestive enzymes.

Foods and meals that are alkalizing to your system and easy to digest help to eliminate acid wastes and toxins.

And that means you can help cut fibromyalgia right off at the source!

Plus, you can feel the difference in many other ways too -- no more digestive problems like IBS, heartburn or gas, more energy and everyone's favorite--Iose excess weight without even TRYING!

3) Balance Omega-6:3 ratio for fibromyalgia relief

The Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) in your body work to stir up and then reduce inflammation.

You see, Omega-6 EFAs activate your body's defense mechanisms like blood clotting, inflammation and allergic reactions, and you need those during emergencies like when you're injured or ingest something dangerous.

Then when the "emergency" is over, Omega-3 EFAs come in and cool down inflammation, produce calmness in your nervous system and reduce cholesterol and clotting in the blood.

This system works perfectly as long as you have about a 5:1 ratio of Omega-6:Omega-3 EFAs in your body.

But the typical American takes in truckloads of inflammation-causing Omega-6 fatty acids in their acid-forming diets but not nearly enough Omega-3s, causing our ratios to skyrocket to 10:1, 20:1, 30:1 or more.

And we have the inflammation (and fibromyalgia) to prove it!

But you can help reduce inflammation and pain dramatically by replenishing your Omega-3 supply with a high quality fish oil formula like VitalMega-3.

Just 2 capsules a day gives you a full 1,000 mg. each of the necessary Omega-3 essential fatty acids (known as EPA and DHA), which is the dose that has been recommended by most experts in the field to help bring your Omega EFAs into a more proper balance.
 

Fibromyalgia is a horrible, painful disease that causes so much suffering to millions...and if you're caught in the trap of taking anti-inflammatories, sleeping pills and antidepressants, getting no relief and feeling hopeless, I understand...

...and more importantly, I can help.

See for yourself how much better you can feel when you avoid certain offending foods, reduce acid wastes and toxins, and balance your Omega-6 and 3 essential fatty acids to naturally ease pain and inflammation.

And when you're feeling better, write and tell me about it (like Janis did below)! I'll look forward to hearing from you.

To your health,

Sherry Brescia

PS: Janis' symptoms have vanished and she's off Amitriptyline!

Sherry:

I want you to know that since I have been using Great Taste No Pain, my Fibromyalgia symptoms have vanished and I no longer take the prescription Amitriptyline! Have you ever heard of those side effects?

I've had your books for over a year & love your recipes! I still take all your supplements, too. At 75, I felt I needed them to get started on my new healthy plan from you.

I really love your Recovery Soup, especially after I ate the wrong foods at 2 big parties this year. I always have it ready in case I eat the wrong way away from home.

You have saved my body from the effects of eating the wrong way! My mind is at ease, finally! Hurray for Sherry!

Thank you my dear friend.

Love, Janis
