7-15 Fibromyalgia and Integrative Medicine
An evaluation of patients referred to the Mayo Fibromyalgia Treatment Program in 2003 found, "the 10 most frequently used CAM treatments were exercise for a specific medical problem (48%), spiritual healing (45%), massage therapy (44%), chiropractic treatments (37%), vitamin C (35%), vitamin E (31%), magnesium (29%), vitamin B complex (25%), green tea (24%), and weight-loss programs (20%). (Wahner-Roedler, 2007).
In an article comparing multiple sclerosis and firbromyalgia, Hellstrom, et al. discussed, "disease prevention vs. health promotion; the practical importance of the understanding of the difference between the two concepts health and absence-of-disease." and said, "the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis is similar to a scientific discovery, where as the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia is constructed more like criminal law. Consequently, diagnosis-based disease prevention and health promotion have to comply with a wide range of reality." (Hellstrom, 1995) ............Buy This Issue Today
