Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a condition that can affect all the organs and systems in the body of those who suffer from it, particularly the musculoskeletal system, with pain that is often disabling and incompatible with a good quality of life.
Even though there are differing opinions, in my view it is, in every respect, an inflammatory condition (often reversible, as in my case, in that of some of my patients, and in many other testimonials on social media) with a syndromic clinical picture.
Inflammation behaves a bit like an ant: when it senses danger, it quickly warns the other ants nearby, sending out an alarm signal within seconds.
Our body’s cells act in much the same way. When an alarm signal starts from the gut, the inflammatory cascade spreads very rapidly, reaching and alerting all the other cells in the organs, systems, tissues, and structures, causing pain in different areas according to one’s genetic predisposition.
Inflammation has its own specific language—a way that each cell uses to communicate with all the other cells in the body.
Here is my personal experience, which I hope may be useful:
I had nearly all the symptoms—brain fog, fatigue, discomfort under the ribs, recurrent cystitis, eye problems—along with depression and irritable bowel syndrome.
I want to emphasize a key point: it is an inflammatory condition, since one of its main characteristics is heat.
If it is true, as Hippocrates said, that all diseases begin in the gut, then the heat produced by inflammation, even if invisible because it is internal, will nonetheless manifest through signs and symptoms that point to its presence.
How is it possible to reverse this process?
By finding a balance between visceral heat and the superficial heat of the skin (as Lazaeta affirmed).
The practices I share in my videos are not random, but rather represent a simple and effective strategy for eliminating toxins from the body, releasing excess heat, and restoring homeostasis.
Diet, body cleansing practices (including physiotherapy) are necessary steps before starting to reintroduce muscular movement through physical activity.
You know you have reached a good state of health when you can perform weight training without experiencing pain or harm.
Fibromyalgia is often defined as a chronic condition—sometimes just a “label” that discourages those who want to begin a healing journey.
But it is clear that a change in lifestyle habits, together with personal growth, must go hand in hand.
A proper mindset is the first requirement to overcome fear and the “labels” imposed by society. After all, becoming fully healthy individuals requires us to look at the world from a different perspective.
