Fibromyalgia is characterized by diffuse pain associated with profound fatigue and sleep disturbances. Fibromyalgia is not a serious illness in the sense that it does not lead to major health complications. The intensity of pain and fatigue limits daily activities and can sometimes have repercussions on professional activity.

Fibromyalgia is still poorly understood; doctors cannot detect lesions or inflammation to explain these symptoms.

There is no effective conventional treatment for fibromyalgia.

Medical News of March 28, 2013, reported the 2012 Canadian guidelines on fibromyalgia, published on the website: http://rheum.ca/fr/publications/cra_fm_guidelines

It is noted that the diagnosis is based on clinical evaluation, there is no laboratory test that is diagnostic, there is no curative treatment, and medical or non-medical treatment aims to control symptoms, requiring education and active participation of the patient, with therapeutic relationships based on empathy, respect, and mutual trust.

Dr. Harold Saxton Burr Ph.D, professor of anatomy at the Yale School of Medicine in the United States, demonstrated a measurable electrical imbalance in the electrical activity of an organ preceding the onset of a pathology. He concluded that "the disease does not manifest if the electrical imbalance is corrected." It is in this sense that I recommend PEMF therapy, a therapy that induces a "biological" electrical current (faradic current) that acts only on cells in a state of imbalance. EBF PEMF therapy improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation and ensuing pain, and stimulates cell regeneration. It has no side effects as reported in the medical literature for over 60 years.

PEMF therapy has been the subject of double-blind medical studies on fibromyalgia. One conducted in 2007 at the Lawson Health Research Institute of Western University in Ontario, London, Canada, and another conducted in 2009 in Ankara, Turkey, demonstrate that pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF by EBF) reduces pain, fatigue, and improves the overall condition of patients.

These studies can be found on the website: www.pubmed.org PMID: 18080043 and PMID: 19920724

Since nutrition and physical activity are prerequisites for good health, EBF PEMF therapy will help you regain a better quality of life. This therapy is not specific to any particular health problem but addresses all our cells regardless of their functions and contributes to the balance of the entire organism.

Regarding nutrition, I recommend the book by Drs. Richard Béliveau Ph.D. and Denis Gingras Ph.D. "Foods that Fight Cancer" Preventing Cancer Through Diet (2005)

Regarding patient health management, I suggest Dr. Nortin M. Hadler MD's book (2013) "Patient and Citizen" Reforming the Health Care System in the Interest of the Patient and not the System. Translation by Fernand Turcotte MD (2014) Pages 193 to 199 concern fibromyalgia...
