Fibromyalgia Webinar Highlighting Natural Therapies Tuesday, August 16

Aug. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Michigan-based clinic, the Nutrient Balance Center, is hosting a webinar entitled "Fibromyalgia: 7 Natural, Proven Steps to Reduce Symptoms," on Tuesday, August 16 at 8:30pm EST. David Rodgers, MS Nutrition, will be presenting information relating to dietary changes, targeted supplements and herbs, and lifestyle adjustments.

"Fibromyalgia is a difficult condition," said Rodgers, "because current treatment aims to simply reduce symptoms, and doesn't get to the heart of the matter."

Rodgers' treatment is designed to improve the health of the entire body. He has developed a protocol he describes as similar to orthomolecular medicine (Linus Pauling), but instead of mega-dose therapies, a wider array of nutrients are recommended to avoid deficiencies in all areas. In addition, chronic infections are considered and tested using standard bloodwork. Targeted herb therapy is used to reduce pathogen load if necessary.

“It is disheartening that conditions like fibromyalgia receive a comparatively small amount of research funding,” said Rodgers, “because there are so many people that are suffering. Many doctors and practitioners are sending people home, because they think the pain is in the patients’ heads, but it is not. More solid evidence of physical differences in fibromyalgia patients is slowly being revealed.”

In the webinar, Rodgers will reveal several foods that contribute to pain, and substitutions that will help relieve symptoms. He will go over the most common nutrient deficiencies and dosages necessary to correct them. Rodgers also accepts clients individually for phone or video conference sessions.

Participation in the webinar is free, and participants will also receive a weekly newsletter with natural health tips. The webpage to sign-up is at http://www.nutrientbalance.com/dietsodareport/fibromyalgi...
