Fibromyalgia is a degenerative disease that affects approximately 3.7 million Americans according to statistics (National Women's Health Centre).

Of this number supra, 90% of the sufferers of fibromyalgia are women and this makes a very big statement. A major statement is being made here, at least on the metaphysical plane, by this disease that clearly discriminates against women.

Fibromyalgia is classified as a rheumatic disease or disorder characterized by chronic achy muscle pain, stiffness and easy fatigue. Body areas commonly affected by this disorder include the lower back, the neck, shoulders, upper chest, thighs, and back of the head.

Because zodiac signs via planetary influence affect certain parts of the body, certain signs (people born under certain zodiac signs) may be more prone to developing fibromyalgia than others. These signs include the following:

Taurus (which governs the neck)

Libra (which governs the lower back)

Gemini (which governs the shoulders)

Cancer (which governs the upper chest)

Sagittarius (which governs the thighs)

People who suffer with fibromyalgia experience a chronic burning, shooting, throbbing, and stabbing pain that at times can become quite excruciating.

It is reported that the pain is greater in the morning than at other times of the day. The pain may be associated with chronic headaches, strange sensations in the skin, insomnia (or alpha -EEG, a sleep disorder); TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome), PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome), painful menses, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), anxiety, palpitations, bladder problems, skin sensitivities, dry eyes, dry mouth, vertigo, impaired coordination, and mild to moderate depression.

Because fibromyalgia disturbs normal sleep by way of sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, bruxism, and/or sleep myoclonus, people who suffer from fibromyalgia suffer from fatigue.

Myoclonus. A sudden rapid contraction of a muscle or a group of muscles during sleep or as one is falling asleep. - Phyllis A. Balch

The sleep you miss at night, the body attempts to make up for during daylight hours and this is where fatigue comes from in many cases. The body is attempting to compensate.

Fibromyalgic attacks can be triggered by:

Stress
Depression
Anxiety
Anger
Frustration
Overexertion
Lack of exercise (immobility, sedentariness)
Lack of sleep
Trauma
Extreme temperature changes

Fibromyalgia can interfere with normal daily activities and in worse case scenarios, can outright be disabling, resulting in disability.

Causes of Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is the result of brain and nerve impairment. When there's pain, there's a problem with the nerves. There can also be pain when there is excess acid (due to unhealthy mucus) in the body that leads to inflammation that can also cause great and excruciating pain (which many people feel when there is STD [sexually transmitted disease] present in the genitals).

From my personal dealings with women with fibromyalgia, most were professional and career women who worked stressful jobs and who seemed to have lived and led a fast paced life. They had suffered painful experiences in their lives which led to depression and long harbored negative emotion: a lot of guilt, anger, frustration, and grief.

It appears their inner and emotional pain manifested physically and outwardly and in certain parts of the body that attempted to convey much needed information to these women that evidently went unnoticed.

The lower back denotes feelings of "back against the wall," "bending over backwards in life to help people or to do certain things," and "carrying a heavy load." These feelings based upon real life situations of trying to do it all or be Superwoman can and will ultimately lead to stress and anxiety.

The shoulders denote "shouldering excessive responsibility," and "carrying a heavy load on one's shoulders."

The neck denotes "foundation" as the neck is the foundation or "support" for the head. Perhaps the woman served as the foundation of some job or may have been some man's major source of support, so much so that she neglected her own needs and desires, as well as neglecting her Inner Goddess.

The thighs denote: "foundation," and also deals with female foundation (physical strength), as women use their hips to hold babies. Pronounced hips symbolize femininity and gynicism. Aches and pains in the hips may denote neglecting one's femininity.

The back of the head may denote "backing the head of something, i.e. organization, company, firm, etc." The head referring to the "CEO," "general manager," or "other head person in charge of something."

All of the above can bring on a great amount of stress and anxiety and tax the brain and nervous system. It is not my goal to come off sexist here, but speaking from a higher perspective, women are just not made to handle the things a man is more qualified to handle due to intrinsic biological makeup, and vice versa.

Men and women handle different functions of life differently based upon gender (and this should be respected and not use to foster competition between the sexes which is greatly futile and unproductive).

Men are naturally more mental and logical whereas women are naturally more intuitive, emotional, and artistic. We do reside in a society here in the West that neglects and negates intuition, the emotional side, and the creative side. I truly believe this plays a major role in our epidemic rates of degenerative diseases and the condition of depression. We neglect the inner world for the outer world and are paying dearly for it. We are also neglecting the feminine (yin) as well and are also paying for it.

And let's go further into this!

Neck = Taurus, which deals with communication and expression. The woman with fibromyalgia may not be fully expressing herself in some capacity or aspect - perhaps her creativity, spirituality, or her needs. And because Taurus is governed by Venus which deals with love, beauty, and romance, this woman may also not be expressing her love and beauty or may not be receiving love and romance in her life, perhaps due to her busy lifestyle and work schedule.

Lower back = Libra, which deals with relating, relationships, partnerships, marriage, and law. The woman with fibromyalgia may be neglecting personal relationships in her life - perhaps with her husband or mate, her children, or even her Higher Self. She may be neglecting her marriage and marital duties as a wife and mother. She may be unconsciously violating certain Universal and biological laws. Many times our jobs can really consume us and to the point of blindness, not literally blindness, but blindness in other respects, i.e. personal needs. As Libra too is ruled by Venus, we're back at love here too pertaining to relationships and marriage.

Thighs = Sagittarius, which deals with travel, adventure, sports, education, and law. Perhaps the woman with fibromyalgia is not enjoying life: taking much-needed trips and vacations, not being active enough or not exercising (going to the gym, walking, yoga, etc.).

Upper chest = Cancer, which deals with home or the home life. Perhaps the fibromyalgic woman is neglecting her home front or even the home pertaining to herself - her temple (body). Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which deals with emotions. This woman could be neglecting her emotional needs and her body is conveying this to her via physical metaphor.

Let us always remember that the body speaks via metaphor to reveal important information to us.

DIET

A poor and insalubrious diet is always indicted in disease, well, most diseases. One thing's for sure and that is a highly acidic or acid-forming diet is conducive to disease and poor health. So-called foods such as meat products (animal flesh), dairy products (cow excreta), refined grains and starches create unhealthy mucus in the body and lower the body's pH.

The same occurs with acidic and acid-forming beverages, i.e. milk, commercial orange juice and fruit juice; beer, wine, coffee, lattes, and egg nog to name a few.

The worst thing a fibromyalgic person can take for fibromyalgia or any other pain-related illness is painkillers. Painkillers are no good! They are greatly addictive however, which could create more drama for you in addition to the disease or disorder that you began taking the painkillers for in the first place.

Medical doctors prescribe harmful and addictive painkilling drugs such as codeine, morphine, and propoxyfene to name a few.

Painkillers only deaden nerves, which is an unwise thing to do because you need your nerves to be alive and working for you, not dead. Nerves deal with sense and you need to feel!

Painkillers should be called nerve killers because that's what they do: kill the nerves over a period of time.

Natural Healing For Fibromyalgia

Never focus on the disease, regardless of the disease and no matter how painful or irritating the disease may be. Always focus on optimal health and wellbeing. Just as disease begins in the mind on the energetic level, so does healing. Mental science is great medicine and always has been. If you need help in this department, order our e-book download "The Mental Science Manual" and apply the principles and exercises in your daily life.

Eat predominantly fruits and vegetables! Consider a vegan raw foods diet as well. Fruits and vegetables offer our bodies the necessary building blocks to restore optimal health and wellbeing.

Kiss animal products and byproducts goodbye, if you're really serious about healing. The animals folks are eating today are plagued by too many things from genetic engineering, bovine growth hormones, steroids, being fed road-kill, injected with chemical hormones that mimic female estrogen hormone, and a plethora of other nefarious things and actions.

Drink alkaline water! It's the best water you can drink today. You can order an alkaline water machine for $500.00 -$4,000.00. We list alkaline water machines in our e-book "Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual."

Alkaline water helps to restore our body's pH level to its natural level (7.3 pH).

To facilitate and improve sleep, before bedtime, consume tea or capsules of the following nervine herbs:

Kava Kava

Valerian Root

Jatamansi

Blue Vervain

Wild Lettuce

Lavender Flower

Hops

Skullcap

Passionflower

Chamomile

Herbs that help with reducing pain include:

Feverfew

Meadowsweet

White Willow Bark

Black Willow Bark

Balm of Gilead

Wood Betony

Woodruff

Magnetic therapy is ideal for healing pain conditions naturally. A magnetic facemask is ideal to place on the face while sleeping. A magnetic facemask contains magnets that coincide with pressure points or meridians on the face. See "Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual" to order one if you're interested in this health gadget.

Substance Abuse Cleanse

Dherbs.com NEW Substance Abuse Cleanse is a 20-day (3-week) program that helps chemical substance addicts open the door to healing and "kicking the habit." The Cleanse is NOT a cure as nothing outside of self can cure or heal. All healing is within and Dherbs.com simply provides much needed tools to help people heal from their diseases and addictions, applying a wholistic approach focusing on mind, body, and soul.

Dherbs.com Substance Abuse Cleanse is designed to help the victim (participant) of substance abuse to begin the natural healing process from chemical substance use and abuse which is rampant in the United States.

Statistics reveal that although the United States is only 5% of the world's population, Americans consume more than 50% of off the illegal drugs produced in the world. This makes a very huge statement to us at Dherbs.com. This suggests a great spiritual void that is attempting to be filled up by Americans. Emotional numbness is being sought after - usually to numb the pain stemming from hurt, frustration, apathy, anger, bitterness, displacement, etc.

Substance abuse is destroying the moral fabric of our society and has been for a while now. It also destroys the family unit, marriage, relationships, etc. It leads to moral decay in many cases. It plays a major role in crime and commission of public offenses. It greatly lowers sexual inhibition.

Millions of people are addicted to cigarettes (nicotine), alcohol, illicit drugs (cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, PCP, methamphetamines, etc.) and though not a chemical substance, but marijuana as well.

In our personal view, illicit and illegal drugs rank in the same category as legal prescription drugs as far as harm to the mind and body is concerned. With us - a drug is a drug is a drug! We classify illicit drugs, illegal drugs, controlled substances, and narcotics as all being and meaning the same thing: HARMFUL to human mental and physical health!

Drugs are not needed! Drugs support escapism and there's no need to escape from anything (including reality) because we are all equipped with the necessary tools to handle any situation, conflict, drama, or problem in our lives. The answers we seek and need are all within us -our Higher Self. But substance use and abuse clouds our connection with our Higher Self (God).

Drug addiction, like all other forms of addiction, is rooted in the 2nd chakra - the seat of emotions, pleasure, sexuality, and relationships. You will learn about this energy center when using this program.

If you want to naturally heal from chemical substance addiction, Dherbs.com can and will assist you. This is all we do - assist you, because the healing is all up to you!

"Spicy Raspberry Rainbow"

INGREDIENTS:

One (1) cup frozen raspberries
One (1) ripe banana
Two (2) medium-size, ripe peaches
One-half (1/2) to 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
One (1) cup coconut-fruit blend juice
One (1) tablespoon sweetener (maple syrup or agave nectar)

DIRECTIONS:

Peel and grate a tad of ginger. Peel fresh peaches and slice. Combine with raspberries, bananas and coconut juice in blender and puree smooth. Drink immediately.

Serves 4

Scrambled Tofu

INGREDIENTS:

One (1) tablespoon Olive oil
One (1) medium-size yellow onion, chopped into one-half (1/2) inch chunks.
One (1) green or red bell pepper, chopped or diced
Two (2) cups thinly sliced cremini mushrooms
Two to Three (2-3) cloves of garlic, minced
One (1) pound extra-firm tofu, drained
One-fourth (1/4) cup nutritional yeast
Juice of one-half (1/2) lemon
One (1) carrot, peeled (optional, I grate it in at the end, mostly for color)

For Spice Blend:

Two (2) teaspoons ground cumin
One (1) teaspoon dried thyme, crushed with your fingers
One (1) teaspoon ground paprika
One-half (1/2) ground tumeric
One (1) teaspoon sea salt

DIRECTIONS:

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions for 3 minutes, until softened; add the mushrooms, sauté for 5 minutes; add the garlic, sauté for 2 minutes. Add the spice blend and mix it up for 15 seconds or so. Add 3/4 cup water to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom to get all the garlic and spices. Crumble in the tofu and mix well. Don't crush the tofu, juts kind of lift it and mix it around. You want it to remain chunky. Let cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding splashes of waters if necessary to keep it from sticking too much. Lower the heat a bit if you find that the tofu is sticking. Add the lemon juice. Add the nutritional yeast and mix it up. If the mixture is sticking to the pan, add splashes of water. The moistness really depends on how much water the tofu was retaining before you add it. Grate the carrot into tofu mixture and fold. Serve with guacamole and salsa and potatoes and toast and tempeh bacon.

All New Episode - Toxic Car Wash

Our Herbalist, Djehuty explains how washing your car can be toxic.

*WARNING: This episode of the Toxic Inspector contains strong language not suitable for young children. Parental Discretion Advised!

"The true beauty of a person comes from inside, only a few know how to bring it to the outside."

"Our thoughts create reality but not every thought of ours manifest with equal intensity. Strong thought forms and fleeting through forms have corresponding manifestations in reality. Idle thoughts have no sustenance in the effect that we experience. When you want to experience certain desires more tangibly and permanently, you must focus your thoughts into experiencing them as part of your life. The more you breathe, dream and live your ideals, the faster and more powerfully they'll show up in your universe. The faster you go, the faster the results come. It is because your thoughts and feelings have greater manifesting power. Your positive thoughts will manifest more strongly and rapidly and your negative thoughts will also manifest more strongly and rapidly. Due to the intensity of your mental state, you can go either direction very quickly if you're not careful. That is why people who are making lots of money very fast can also end up losing lots of money very fast. Greater self control is required at such times." - Enoch Tan

"Every thought must manifest according to its intensity. The slightest thought of Intelligence sets in motion a power in the Law to produce a corresponding thing." - Ernest Holmes

"Before we embark upon the journey of finding the relationship that is right for us, we may want to take the opportunity to refine our concept of who we are and our ideas of what we want from life. That way, we are clearer on the kind of person we want to attract into our lives. Part of the journey of finding a mate is learning how to become our own mate. When we can learn to meet our needs without relying on someone else to complete us, we don't have to form relationships from the space of needing our emptiness to be filled. We can also discover our intrinsic value, separate from what someone else might be reflecting back to us. Getting to know who we are and learning to love ourselves creates a solid foundation of self that we can bring to any relationship.

We are fortunate to live in a time when relationships can unfold at a pace that is right for us and take unique forms. Friendship, dating, open relationships, long term relationships, long distance relationships, or committed relationships - we are free to choose the kind of relationships that we want. If you want to be in relationship, but haven't found the right one for you, remember that the universe works in perfect order and, therefore, right now your life is unfolding exactly as it is meant to be. Maybe all this time has been part of your preparation period for meeting your intended partner. Even the relationships in our lives that haven't worked out as we had hoped serve us by teaching us to make better choices in our next relationships.

Finding the relationship we want can come early or later in life. It may even happen again and again in one lifetime. There is no right or wrong for how to find a relationship nor is there a timeline that you have to follow. Follow your heart, listen to your inner voice, continue to become your own soul mate, and stay open to love. The journey of finding the right relationship begins with being in right relationship with yourself." - Daily Om

"Just do your best to keep yourself in balance. One of the first things that causes Energy misalignment, is asking or demanding too much of yourself in terms of time and effort. In other words, you just cannot burn the candle at both ends, so that you are physically tired, and then expect yourself to have a cheerful attitude. So, the rule of thumb has to be: "I'm going to be very, very, very happy, and then do everything I have time to do after that." - Esther Hicks

"The teacher who walks in the shadows of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness, for if he is truly wise indeed he does not bring you to enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your OWN MIND for the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man and even as each one of you stands alone in GODS knowledge , so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of GOD and in his understanding of the earth." - The Prophet-Kahlil Gibran

"What you radiate outward in your thoughts, feelings, mental pictures and words, you attract into your life." - Catherine Ponder

1) What herbal remedy do you recommend for lowering LDL Cholesterol? Thanks

RESPONSE: FULL BODY DETOX

What do you recomend, my friend is breaking out in scaly spots on his legs, back, arms, and he is constanly scratching, what do you suggest he use for This? He visited his medical doctor and he perscribed Prednisone for 12 days, with a dose of 32 pills, so many per day, it is not to much better. What do you suggest? It has left dark spots all over his body. What can be the problem?

This is a blood condition (toxic blood) and the person needs to detox (FULL BODY DETOX) and soak daily for 1 hour in hot water, 2 boxes of sea salt, and hydrogen peroxide. After the cleanse, the person needs to take 5 capsules of ELECTRIC GREENS CELL FOOD six times per day. The person needs to rub OZ OIL over their body after bathing! Do this for starters and keep us abreast of the progress.

I am considering doing your FULL BODY DETOX. I also need to lose 50 lbs. I was wondering which program should I start first. Full Body Detox or the WEIGHT RELEASE CLEANSE AND REGIMEN programs. Thanks

Perform the FULL BODY DETOX first, follow that up with the 10-DAY SUPREME COLON CLEANSE, and then lastly, perform the WEIGHT RELEASE CLEANSE AND REGIMEN.

My analysis came back negative for HVS2!!! I'm soooooooooooo HAPPY! Words can't express how happy I feel. I thank the LORD for helping with this condition and these herbs (ANTI-VIRAL CLEANSE and REGIMEN).

This product (Activated Charcoal) is so great. Since using it I'm able to see the result in my skin and my energy level. I think everyone should have a pack of charcoal in their house.

The Female Hormonal Formula works wonders for me. This is truly a holistic cure to the constant night sweats and hormonal imbalance I have been looking for! It also helped tremendously with the mood swings I have been having for years. I have tried so many over the counter products - none could do the job. Every woman should give this product a try to give them freedom from the years of suffering that comes with menopause. Thanks a million DHERBS!

-Joyce
