Dr. Rodger Murphree treated a fibromyalgia patient named Sheila who improved dramatically in three months through nutritional testing and dietary changes. He argues fibromyalgia is a treatable syndrome where weight loss and healthy eating can reduce pain and restore energy.
One day, 24 years ago, this. This year, Jones was referred to me, she had fibromyalgia. Now, 24 years ago, as you know, we really didn't know a lot about fibromyalgia. And I didn't know. I. I don't even know if I'd ever even heard the term. She had so many symptoms. My first thought. I thought she was a hypochondriac. But listening to her realize, you know, why would she be sharing this with me? Why would she be faking this? And I just said, you know, God, you gotta just turn all this negative chatter off, prejudging her and just listen to her. Just be a big heart and listen. I realized, you know, she was telling the truth. And I started working on Sheila, just using some of the nutritional stuff I was doing in the testing, and she got well in three months. I guess I should have said, you know what fibromyalgia is? So it doesn't happen that way, and it didn't happen that way ever again. If you don't know what fibromyalgia is, it's a syndrome made up of a group of symptoms that people have in common, and we give it that name, fibromyalgia. And I realized that the only way that I could help them overcome their fibromyalgia, just. I had to get them healthy. Once I started learning what I could do to help them to lose that weight, then I started to see a dramatic reduction in their pain and a dramatic increase in their energy. So I. You know, I tell my patients the only way to feel good again is you got to get healthy, but you can't be healthy if you're not eating healthy.
