I’ve tried NSAID’s, flexeril, steroids, neurontin, lyrica, numbing patches, vicodin and darvocet, heating pads, ice packs, hot tubs, regular exercise, and most recently acupuncture. Acupuncture gave me a modicum of relief the first 2 months, but then slowly began to lose it’s efficiency and is now not worth the money. (Not covered by insurance) This disease has me in tears every day and every night. Most days I have trouble functioning and living my life in a normal way. I’m sick, I’m tired, I’m depressed, and yes, I feel damn well sorry for myself. I doesn’t help any that there are still medical professionals that seem to give you a wink and a nod when you describe your symptoms; as if to say, “It’s really all in your head, but I’ll take pity on you and throw a couple of pain pills your way”. The stress of that kind of nonchalant treatment exacerbates my symptoms and angers me. I don’t want your pain pills, I want some action to help solve whatever is causing these symptoms to attack my body, Does ANYBODY have any new or innovative treatment or information on fibromyalgia that might give those of us who suffer from it hope, promise, faith that things might get better for fibromyalgia sufferers?

My brother suffers from severe emotional problems. It started 15 years ago and has progressively been getting worse. Now, most of his days are consumed with uncontrollable crying, and rage at his life. He has gone to many psychiatrists, tried everything from acupuncture to self-healing to meditation – you name it. My parents and I do not know what else to do for him. I have suggested a neurologist by for whatever reasons, he hasn’t gone.

Does anyone have any clue what to do when a psychiatrist and years of different medications haven’t helped and he is getting worse and worse? We are at a loss.

I just finished a brutal year of internship (I work in mental health), I moved, and I am finishing my dissertation in the next few weeks.

I have always had a bit of runner’s knee, for which I’ve had acupuncture, PT, and chiropractic. During my internship year, I started to have severe knee pain and some other assorted pains: a bit of inflammation in my wrist, more frequent stiff necks.

I am going through the typical channels now, getting PT for my knee. I have been using Traumeel for pain, and it worked initially but is now less effective. I also quit sugar, alcohol, and wheat for a month, which didn’t make much difference. I am currently taking fish oil and a multi. My stress level is wayyy lower now, but my body is still telling me it needs attention. Rest makes the knee a bit better, but I wish I could exercise because I put on some weight this year too.

I have a very close friend, she has been suffering from this for the last year and its been getting progressively worse!! The symptoms she suffers from most is muscle aches that seem to shift everywhere.

She has been to treatments like acupuncture, cognitive behavioral techniques, hypnotherapy and yoga, but none of it seems to be taking effect…. she is on anti depressants, but that also makes her feel bad just thinking about it.

Here’s a little background info that you’d need to answer my question… before you comment, make sure you read all of this and don’t skip over any details, because I don’t feel like dealing with people who don’t take the time to truly “listen”… I’M ONLY LOOKING FOR HELP AND ADVICE FROM PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE. ALL OTHER ANSWERS WILL BE IGNORED OR GIVEN A POOR RATING.

For a while now I’ve been under extreme psychological stress and depression– the significant stress, “ungroundedness”, and instability of my life (which I have little control over) has triggered my depressive tendencies. There’s lots more to tell here… I have a disposition to become depressed due to the environment that I was raised in and the genetic dispositions that I inherited and were nutured within me. I have lots of threatening financial stressors, debts, and home stressors. Furthermore, I come from a very ungrounded background where my parents were very very unstable, inconsistent with their nurturing and emotional states, unpredictable, angry and hormonal/unbalanced mother, emotionally repressed and unavailable father, emotional abuse, my self-esteem was ripped away from me. If it wasn’t for many years of counseling I would have a horrible self-esteem right now– I am still in counseling. My mom had a heart attack at 45 and has diabetes, my dad is hypothyroid and pre-diabetes (my parent’s diabetes is mainly due to their extremely poor diet and lack of exercise). So for years with this upbringing my disposition when under stress has been: depression/irritability, high blood pressure (I’m only 22), feelings of loneliness/emptiness, trouble thinking straight, mild digestive issues (gas/loose stools), trouble getting to sleep, apathy, tension in my shoulders/jaws. Furthermore I even smoked weed for a while and ignorantly took too many yang tonics for over a year and a half like Chinese/korean ginseng, suma, maca, rhodiola, ginger, etc which drained my yin, I have a significantly diminished sense of reality and sense of self. The dreamlike feeling is a very defunct and unsettling feeling. All this has led me to learn more about my condition… I’ve read much literature on ayurvedic medicine, chiropractic medicine, general naturopathic medicine, homeopathic medicine, and last but not least TCM or traditional Chinese medicine; TCM and Chiropractic being most effective so far after having myriads of acupuncture treatments in the past and Chiropractic adjustments on my neck, shoulder, pelvis, back, and hips.

Biotherapy Clinic specializes in colon hydrotherapy with restoration of friendly intestinal flora, acupuncture and herbal medicine, hypnosis and stress reduction and therapeutic massage.
When we don’t eliminate our waste, toxins build up in the colon causing autointoxication, or self-poisoning. This occurs when the bowel walls become encrusted with uneliminated fecal matter, hampering the absorption of vital nutrients and providing a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria. Blood capillaries lining the bowel wall begin to absorb these toxins into the bloodstream, consequently polluting all of our organs and cells. These poisons eventually seep into every cell in the body, setting the stage for disease. This autointoxication lowers our overall feeling of health and vitality. We start to blame other factors such as aging. Because it weakens the entire system, autointoxication can be a causative factor for nearly any disease.
As you likely know, our environment is becoming increasingly more toxic. We still have to face the daily attack of literally thousands of toxins that infiltrate our soils, water, and air. As a result, toxins accumulate in the human system faster than they can be eliminated. In other words, we are slowly being poisoned on a daily basis.
For many people like yourself the ability for “self detoxification” is very difficult because you are exposed to heavy metals, cigarette smoke, pollution, pesticides, preservatives in food, alcohol, drugs, caffeine and so on. All these chemicals can have a negative impact on your metabolism, causing enzyme dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, and weakening of your immune system. These toxins also create health conditions you may not even thought could be related: allergies, skin problems, brain fog, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, memory loss, joint and muscle pain and frequent colds. This list goes on and on.
Our Whole Body Cleansing Program and 2 Week Intensive Cleansing Program will help your body get rid of toxins in a gentle, safe and effective, natural manner, using the primary channels of elimination such as colon, kidneys, liver, skin, lungs and lymph. Just like we normally clean the house starting from the dirtiest area, we should start cleaning our body from the dirtiest part: the colon.
Originally, the purpose of the prostate massage was to turn the man into an excellent lover.  Every shah, king and sultan with a harem usually had a monk or a private doctor to perform the prostate massage to keep him in the perfect sexual condition.
Ionic Footbath Detox is a gentle and effective way to detoxify, cleanse and balance the body by drawing the impurities out of the body through the feet.  As your feet soak in the ionic foot bath, your body will undergo an amazing cleanse of years’ worth of stored toxins.  
Just as you would never run your car engine for years without cleaning it and changing the oil, you cannot maintain a healthy, “smoothly running” organism without proper internal body cleansing.
The diet is undoubtedly our best, safest, and cheapest form of alternative medicine.At the Biotherapy Clinic, we customize a specific diet to help you stay well or become well.
We administer therapies to promote the awesome healing powers of the entire human body. Therefore, every condition, including good health, can improve with Biotherapy.

Anxiety is a state of mind wherein a person experiences a number of emotions at the same time such as nervousness, fear, uneasiness, worry to name a few. This is accompanied by physical symptoms such as palpitation , headache, unsettled stomach, chest pain and the like. This can be triggered off due to a number of reasons such as one’s circumstances, certain traumatic experiences or anything perceived by the person as traumatic. When this anxiety extends for a prolonged period it is time to be warned and seek professional help. This condition of the person is known as anxiety disorder.

Anxiety disorder is a rather common problem especially in today’s stress filled world. But the bigger issue is that we don’t treat it as a problem in the first place. Most people who suffer from anxiety disorders and the people around them tend to consider it just as mood swings and the temperament of the individual and thus, overlook the seriousness of the issue. But the point to be noted here is that the symptoms should not be ignored as timely help can cure the person completely.
