Thank you so much for your help!! I am feeling insanely better. I have no
words that would explain how different I have been after following your
program, the difference is unbelievable!!!! For years, I have gone to
many doctors with the same results, no help at all. I was told to take
something for the depression and morphine for the pain, wow!
Thanks to my youngest daughter who loved me enough to research this
disorder and chose your book. Her whole life, I have told her "NEVER! give up"!!! I truly feel that my
daughter, seeing me give up hope in receiving relief for my suffering
from fibromyalgia, caused her to step up and find something that she
thought would help me get relief!
My daughter and I are so very appreciative and grateful for your help. I hope all fibro sufferers will do what it takes to reverse this awful disorder. Thank you for understanding the body enough to know what it needs. And thank you for educating me.
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!!
by Mary Keller, Kankakee, IL USA
"I have had fibromyalgia for many years but no one could diagnose it
until now. The physician put me on many medications such as
anti-inflammatories, 2 antidepressants, which knocked me out for 2 days
at a time, and pain pills. The pain continued and I only felt
disconnected. Getting out of bed was a major task due to pain and a
drug-induced state. Recently, I saw your book and had some
hope. I immediately went to GNC the next day with my husband and bought
everything you suggested. At first I thought, "How am I going to
take all of this stuff". But I divided it up in 4 doses a day and
within 3 days I was sleeping all night and my pain was almost
completely gone. I had stiffness due to extreme pain and lack of exercise. But now I am doing stretching exercises and walking and I
feel better and better each day. I have incorporated eating more
nutritious meals and not only do I feel excellent, but my mind is
sharper (because it is not focused on pain and exhaustion) and I have
more energy and not to mention, my complexion is 100% better. I look
healthy again!!! I am back to doing the things I enjoy like working out
in the yard. My husband is thrilled because he gradually saw the life
completely "zapped" out of me and has now returned. Words can not
express how grateful I am for this book. Thank you Dr. Elrod!!!!!!!!"
I TRULY BELIEVE IN THIS PROTOCOL FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
by Kelly Lord, Pennsylvania
"After being struck with fibromyalgia a year and a
half ago, I didn’t think my life would ever be the same. Early on, I struggled
with terrible pain, stiffness, headaches and depression, which were
overwhelming to me—I felt trapped in my own body. My life was spiraling out of
control, and I didn’t know where to begin my journey for recovery. Prescribed
medications had helped the pain, but their side effects caused more problems. I
felt that my health care professionals were only helping me disguise the
symptoms with medications instead of treating the cause of my illness. That was when I realized I had to be the one to
find my path to recovery. I wanted real answers. I wanted some doctor or some
book to tell me: If you do this, you will feel better. I wanted to fix the root
of the problem and regain some sense of normalcy. I bought a journal and began a new approach to my
recovery. I started recording my thoughts and logging my days, keeping tabs on
what activities I did, what foods I ate and where my pain level was each day. I
was looking for a pattern, some indication from my lifestyle of what I did to
make me feel better on my better days. After several weeks of doing this, I realized that on the days that I ate a healthy diet and did moderate physical activity, my pain
and headaches were much better and my attitude was not so negative.
Based on that discovery, I decided I needed to eat
healthier. I made arrangements with a friend to visit an organic grocery store
one hour from my home. I bought a few items, and on my way to the register I
stumbled on a book called "Reversing
Fibromyalgia" by Dr. Joe M. Elrod. I was impressed with the title,
bought the book and read it that night—and my life has never been the same.
This was the first time that I had read positive words that gave hope for
recovery from fibromyalgia.
Dr. Elrod’s holistic and all-natural approach made
logical sense and was something I wanted to learn. As I began implementing his
healing protocol, the results were amazing. I felt alive again, like I just
woke up from another life. My muscles gradually began to stop aching, my
headaches completely disappeared, my spirit lifted to a new high, and I had
energy. I was so happy. At this point I knew I would never stop living this
way—it was working. This dramatic change took about two weeks of
following Dr. Elrod’s health protocol. My symptoms did get worse before they
got better. Dr. Elrod warned me that this would happen, so I decided to trust
what he said and stay positive. At the end of two weeks, I felt almost normal
again and began to live my normal lifestyle. I began doing yard work, playing
outside with my kids, taking long walks and even going for ten-mile bike
rides—just like before my illness began.
I knew I had to devise a new lifestyle for myself
and stick to the plan or I would be right back where I was a few months
earlier. First, I started with the mind-body-spirit connection. I knew this was
going to be the biggest tool for my recovery. I started educating myself on
this subject and learned the importance of the mind-body connection and what
effects it has on the body. The next step I concentrated on was my diet. I knew
this was going to be the most challenging area for me. My eating lifestyle
would not be as “convenient” as the one that made me sick. I started by eating
three balanced meals a day with plenty of fruits and vegetables and a snack in
between. Dr. Elrod’s book gave me plenty of information to work with, and I
began charting a list of bad eating habits and chemicals I needed to avoid.
The third step was to implement an exercise
program, which seemed inconceivable at the time. My muscles were so sore already, I couldn’t imagine exercise making them any better. I started out very slowly with walking and Dr. Elrod’s recommended stretching
exercises. The stiffness and pain did get worse for a short time; I was aware
this was going to happen from not using my muscles for so long. Before long, I
noticed a definite improvement in my pain level, and my strength was coming
back.
Getting restful sleep was my next step, which I
knew was important in the recovery of fibromyalgia patients. I began to learn
meditation and deep-breathing techniques to help with relaxation. The
mind-body-spiritual connection also helps bring contentment to my mind and allows for a restful sleep.
Taking supplements was about the easiest step to my
recovery. I started taking the recommended supplements in Dr. Elrod’s book and
began making it part of my everyday routine. I have successfully changed my
lifestyle, following Dr. Elrod’s complete protocol, and the results have been
amazing. I truly believe in this program."
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO FEEL BETTER, THIS IS THE ONE!
Patient, USA
"Dr. Elrod has written an invaluable tool for those who are determined
to conquer fibromyalgia and get on with life. His manner of delivery is
superb -- easy to understand, accurate, practical, and compassionate.
There are many books about fibromyalgia on the market, but,
unfortunately, most of them dwell on how rough it can be and leave you
to wait for your next flare. Dr. Elrod takes the bull by the horns and
puts you back in control. Get on with life -- apply the advice in this
book, and you'll be amazed."
HELP, BUT MOST OF ALL,HOPE!!
M. C. Marcy, GA, USA
"Dr Elrod, is a down to earth and gets to the root of this frustrating
depressing disease. His belief that there is real help, not just
masking the "Flare-Ups" with drugs made me pick this book up in the
first place. I was in the middle of a "No SLEEP" cycle, in pain and so
depressed I felt hopeless. Following his advice on "Returning to
Restful Sleep" I saw major improvement in the first night and by the
third night was really SLEEPING! With this long sought after rest I got
up feeling alot less pain and have been able to take almost no pain
medication. Best of all an improved mental state, knowing that I'm
finally on the right track. With Dr. Elrods book in hand I can improve
my life and return to the healthy, active life I once had. I have read
a "bunch" of books on this subject and felt it just might be hopeless,
that I could ever enjoy life again. This book is easy to understand and
with clear directions on accomplishing better health, he's lets one
know it didn't happen overnight and won't be heal that fast either. NO
magic pill, it takes our active particpation! But hope is here!"
A FABULOUS GUIDE TO LIVING AND COPING WITH FIBROMYALGIA!!
Patient, USA
"When faced with living with a condition that many doctors don't even
believe exists, it is easy to loose faith that there is any help
available. Dr. Elrod restores that faith and gives the reader wonderful
nutritional, supplimental, and emotional ways to combat this terrible
condition. His book is kind and supportive but also places the
responsibility for one's health back in the hands of the "patient". He
gives the reader numerous suggestions as to what to include in his or
her daily life, as well as what to avoid, so as to live as full and
healthy a life as one can."
TRUE TO FORM Mike Harris, USA
"I believe that this book is a God-send to people that have
fibromyalgia. I have had this syndrome for 5 years and when I picked up
this book and read it all I could say is THANK GOD for this wonderful
man and his research. DO NOT waste your money on any other book about
this subject. JUST GET THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!"
BROUGHT ME LIFE
Patient, Alabama
I have suffered with this for years. Last year I spent many months
at specialists to hear the words 'you are the healthiest 44-year old I
have ever seen'. This was according to my intense blood work profile.
After this news from my endocrinologist, I met Dr. Elrod and read his
books. I felt hope and decided to do everything he suggested. Two
months later, I was 400% better and doing great! It is not
easy--definitely requires a lifestyle change. But if someone wants
answers and wants to get their life back, they can by following this
protocol. This book was such a blessing to me and I highly recommend
it.
INFORMATION THAT IS IN BIG DEMAND
by Mary, USA
"This book is the most helpful information a patient could have for the
condition of fibromyalgia. It is detailed in the explanation of the
symptoms, and offers excellent information on how to eat and nurture
your body without buying expensive special concoctions. I highly
recommend this book for every one with this condition. This would make
an excellent gift to someone you know with the condition. Most doctors
do not know about Fibro, much less how to treat the body with normal
foods and vitamins and supplements. I was blessed when I found out
about this book and its companion books. This diet and relaxing
one is expected to eat their way out of the Fibromyalgia condition.
This is a book that is in very big demand. Thank you for the
opportunity to review this book."
MY BODY ---AND MY LIFE---WERE A WRECK by Ekaterina Alexandrov, Ottawa Canada
"At age fourteen, in my homeland of Russia, I was an Olympic-potential cross-country skier. Because of a devastating home situation, I began to self-destruct on drugs. By age seventeen, I was diagnosed with mononucleosis. At age twenty-two, I was diagnosed with chronic fibromyalgia. My body---and my life--were a wreck.
Because of Dr. Elrod's book, Reversing Fibromyalgia, and the breakthrough reversal process of the HOPE Medical Clinic, I now have my life back---pain free!! I am the director of my husband's company, I home-school my young son and am taking night classes for an advanced degree.
This program has performed a miracle in my life and given me hope when I had been told there was none!"
I LOVE YOUR APPROACH!!!
by Camille M., Utah
"I am a research scientist here in Utah. Our research and development group purchased your book Reversing Fibromyalgia, as many of our customers in the field suffer from this condition. I just wanted to write you a short note and tell you how much I love your book. I'm reading it for myself, to utilize your advice, even though I'm healthy as a horse.
