The Cause of Fibromyalgia

 

TRANSCRIPT of ‘Chronic Pain Relief Program’

Hello, it’s Chris Pickard at Body In Balance, and today I’m going to be sharing with you the chronic pain relief program that we use at the clinic and I’m going to show you how you can actually start it for free as well as without even having to come in.

Before we start though, make sure that you subscribe to the channel to keep up to date with the latest health findings to do with pain relief and living a long healthy life, and make sure you hit the bell so that you get notified when the next video is live.

So chronic pain relief. Let’s start with actually what is chronic pain? Chronic pain is really any pain that’s been with you for six weeks or longer. It doesn’t have to be a bad pain. It’s just a pain that’s been there a long time, and that’s what chronic pain really means.

If you’re watching this, you’ve probably had pain for a lot longer than six weeks and you’re desperately trying to find out what is going on, what you can do. You’re probably sick and tired of just getting painkillers and nowhere with normal medical advice.

Now, here’s the first thing you need to know about chronic pain, pain that’s been with you for more than six weeks. It’s already starting to change your brain. So no matter whether you’ve got knee pain from arthritis, whether you’ve got a back problem, whether you’ve got fibromyalgia, if you’ve had pain for more than six weeks it’s changing your brain. This is one of the most important areas to actually work on. No matter where your pain is, your brain is changing. People in chronic pain have twice the deterioration of the grey cells of the grey matter of your brain than people who are not in pain. It’s very important to start working on brain health. Again, I’ll show you how to do that.

But where does chronic pain come from? There’s usually, I apologize for the lighting, three major causes of any pain. You have the sort of the structural, physical things going on, so knee pain. Very often if you have knee pain, you go to physiotherapists, they look at knee, you go to someone for back pain, they look at the back, if neck pain or headaches, they look at the neck or the head. If you’ve got fibromyalgia and all over body pain, they don’t know what to do. They just give you pain killers, opioids, things like that.

But let’s go back to structure. Let’s look at just knee pain. So for instance, knee pain. If you’re just looking at the knee and you’ve just had therapy on the knee and it’s not getting better. Why might this not be getting better? Well, one is because a lot of knee pain is actually secondary to stuff happening in your hip. The muscles in your hip and your low back support your knee, and if they’re weak you’re going to have extra pressure on your knee. If you have a foot problem that can be aggravating the knee. If you have a balance problem that could be originating from your neck or your ear or your jaw, that’s going to put extra pressure on your knee as well.

When you’re looking at the structure of the body, you actually have to make sure the entire body gets checked, not just the painful area and getting these other areas fixed could then fix the area of chronic pain.

But you then have chemical causes. This could be either not enough of the right nutrients you need for a bone to heal, like your knee, or you could be eating things actually rip cartilage from your knee. If you’ve got a chronic knee problem, you need to get your whole structure looked at. But you also need to look at what’s happening chemically. Are you actually eating all the right things that will actually regrow the knee, bring down inflammation, or are you eating things actually increase inflammation in the joints, that actually decrease your chances of rebuilding your cartilage and making it as strong as possible?

This is the same for this is really, really important for things like fibromyalgia as well because there are so many things that people with fibromyalgia are doing that are actually increasing inflammation in their body and they’re not putting enough of the right things that decrease inflammation, especially at the level of the brain where a lot, this is where all pain is felt.

And then you have the emotional stress as well. When you are stressed it switches off the functioning of your body so you can’t actually heal properly. It doesn’t matter how much structure it gets looked after, it doesn’t matter what’s happening here. If you’re chronically stressed your body is going to switch off its healing mechanisms. You really have to look at all three of these areas and you have to keep in mind that the brain, looking a bit like a boxing glove, is really looked after as well. You need to start hitting from the centre of the brain, the nervous system and looking at all of these structures. So that’s great.

Now you’ve got something to do, but what do you do? Well, first of all, you’ve got to find someone that looks after structure and brain-based balance, brain-based wellness rather, and also the nutritional chemical side of things and stress. I’ll give you a link down below where you can actually look at the brain balance program. I’ll give you links to some of the chemical things that you need to take care of, especially, especially if you have something like fibromyalgia, something called NRF2. Don’t worry, I’ll put the link down below in the directions, in the description.

But here’s how you can get started free step by step. We have a seven days to less pain program. Why seven days? Because we have had people who’ve had years of chronic pain actually start to reverse that in as little as seven days, and seven days really is the absolute minimum that it takes.

I like to introduce some of the concepts like starting to eat properly, hydrating properly. You’re probably getting it wrong. The secret ingredient in this that will help NRF2 and brain inflammation. I’m going to show you why a pair of headphones, you don’t need these bits. Just how a hat pair of headphones can actually help you decrease your chronic pain. That’s all in the seven days to less pain program. I’ll put the link in the description below. I’ll put the link in the comments as well at the top and I’ll make sure there’s a link in the video as well that you can just click on to sign up for seven days. It’s completely free for you to listen and act upon as well. Thank you for listening. Be well, spread the word that chronic pain relief is available.

Passion and Purpose

Have you ever gone to a restaurant and after being sat down all you did was waited for the food you wanted to arrive, without actually telling the waiter what you wanted?

Of course not.

At least, not until we have mind-reading robot waiters.

And this brings me to the future, your future.

In order for a waiter to know what you want, you have to tell them what you want, not what you ate for lunch or breakfast.

So many of us are great about complaining about the past, but very poor about defining what we want for the future.

In the words of Tony Robbins,

“So much that could help you achieve your dreams is never noticed or utilized simply because you haven’t defined (taught your brain what’s important!) your goals with clarity.”

And…

“the only limit to what you can achieve is the extent of your ability to define with precision that which you desire”

If you are stuck with what you want, start with these 2 tests to see if you get inspired
(I urge you to join GeniusU as it’s a growing movement to change the world)

The Inspirational Power of Decisions

The quality of the decisions you make are a direct reflection of the quality of your health.

If you fail to make any decisions, nothing will change, and you’ll get nowhere.

George Washington and Mahatma Gandhi both took on the British Empire against overwhelming odds, yet with Energy, Passion, Inspiration and Courage they both won.

You too can be EPIC when it comes to health, and leading your family and friends.

Every time you make a decision it gets easier to make another.  Your brain gets stronger. So choose to make decisions to make your life better.

It’s your choice which type of decisions you make.

In the end, only you can decide to build the life you want..

 

 

 

Infobesity

Infobesity is a term I came across just recently, whilst putting together a new course.

I cover the basics in these 2 Facebook Lives:

 

It’s Not All In The Mind

Mental Health is About More Than ‘In the Mind’

It’s great that Prince Harry and Prince William are doing what they can to decrease the stigma about mental health and getting people to talk more.

Here’s some facts from www.mentalhealth.org.uk

• Mental health problems are one of the main causes of the overall disease burden worldwide.¹
• Mental health and behavioural problems (e.g. depression, anxiety and drug use) are reported to be the primary drivers of disability worldwide, causing over 40 million years of disability in 20 to 29-year-olds.²
• Major depression is thought to be the second leading cause of disability worldwide and a major contributor to the burden of suicide and ischemic heart disease.³
• It is estimated that 1 in 6 people in the past week experienced a common mental health problem⁴

So what can we do?

Well first it’s important to realise that the brain is the most stress vulnerable, toxin vulnerable, energy dependent, and nutrition dependent organ in the body.

While most psychologists and mental health workers target stress, and also use drugs to modify brain behaviour, the 3 areas of toxins, energy and nutrition are almost universally neglected.

What does this mean?

It means that there are thousands, if not millions of people with mental health problems, that could be completely cured  IF they detoxed, where well nourished, and exercised in the right way.

I covered a lot of this last year:

And here’s some of the latest research on the links between brain health, your gut, what you eat, and the environment:

I don’t expect you to read all the above articles, but I do want you to realise that mental health is not all ‘in the mind’, it is actually all around us, and very much tied to our need to clean up our environment.

Many Functional Medicine practitioners around the world find adults and children with ADHD, depression, bi-polar, schizophrenia, addictions, self-harming tendencies, memory loss etc. can improve with techniques and protocols that are natural, available to anyone, and have long lasting results.

This is urgent to share, and urgent to take action on.

If you’d like to discuss any of this with me then just ask.

I’m here to help Body and Mind.

Mental Health: Looking after the Muscle of the Mind

Modern medical psychiatry tries to understand the brain only in terms of gross damage (so nothing can be done) or single chemical imbalances.  This is a simplistic and somewhat foolish approach considering the fact that any neurologist, behavioural scientist or biochemist will tell you the brain is anything but simple.

For the brain to work properly it’s an interaction between the structures,  the chemistry, the electricity, and your lifestyle and social choices.

As you’re about to discover, preventing mental health issues is really very similar to preventing cancer, heart disease, obesity, and all the other chronic diseases of the West.

You’ll also discover there are more treatment options within our control.

• Problems with words
• Problems with writing
• Withdrawal from work and social activities
• Changes in mood and behaviour

The nutritional regime form the study mentioned:

Movement and Brain Balance

Balancing the brain is something NO DRUG CAN DO.

For instance, conditions such as ADHD and OCD can actually problems with the right side of the brain. Drugs work on BOTH sides, so you can never get a cure.  Depression can be just a left sided problem.

Today I’ll reveal how to spot if you have a ‘brain hemisphericity’ and what you can do about it.

R4 – Reduce Inflammation

Are you burning up?

If you’re reading this then I’m 100% certain that this article is of prime importance to either you, or someone very close to you.

There is a large body of evidence that suggests inflammation is the root cause of cancer, diabetes, thyroid disorders, arthritis, Alzheimer’s and many other chronic diseases.

It can even be behind the inability to lose weight.

Before watching my training video inspired by Dr Pompa, and originally part of www.Mi365.me, here’s a personal story as told by a colleague of mine in the USA:

And here’s my longer training (you may want to get  cup of the anti-inflammatory coffee I recommend):

Inflammation of the cell membrane that affects the way the cell communicates, detoxes and will ultimately change gene expression, leading to a diseases of genetic weakness.

There are 3 main contributors that always need to be addressed in order to down-regulate inflammation.

• Controlling glucose/insulin

Keeping tight control of your glucose intake is of paramount importance for any anti-inflammation program to be effective as it is a driving force that cannot be remedied by any supplementation or drug protocol. For example, diabetics do not die from diabetes, but from other degenerative conditions. Despite being on medication, 68% of all diabetics die from heart disease, and 50% of diabetics end up with dementia or Alzheimer’s as they age rapidly from the inside out.

This is directly due to the oxidation/inflammation from uncontrolled glucose and insulin.

By the way, grains, not sugar, are the #1 contributor to elevated glucose. Yes, even whole grains. Did you know that 2 pieces of whole grain toast or a bowl of oatmeal raises glucose the same as a can of Coke? This is why a Cellular Healing Diet eliminates ALL GRAINS from the diet UNTIL cellular inflammation is corrected.

• Eliminate “bad fats”.

What are ‘bad fats’?  Well it may surprise you to know that the worse culprit is probably omega 6 fats from all the processed vegetable oils we’ve been told to consume!  All the sunflower and rape seed oils we buy in supermarkets to cook in, and that are added to all baked goods.

These oils are causing massive imbalance in the oily make up of our cell membranes and are a major cause of inflammation and artery damage.

You need no worry about eating sunflower seeds though – it’s just the processed oils.

Another inflammatory fat (no surprises) is that found in processed meats and beef from non-grass fed cows.

On the other hand, limited fats from grass fed cows are fine (and contain the beneficial omega 3 oils).

You can learn more by downloading Dr Pompa’s ebook, The Cellular Healing Diet, here:
https://drpompa.com/diet/cellular-healing-diet

 

• The Hidden and Unspoken Truth

Lastly, toxins, in my opinion, are the biggest driving factor of inflammation today. We have discussed this in every ‘R’ of cellular healing, so I will not get into it here but I will say this: if you do not remove the hidden sources of toxins within your body, the chronic inflammation will NEVER be resolved.

For example, personal care products you use every morning contain, on average, 518 chemicals that are known “hormone disruptors”.

There are also the pollutants and toxins in the air we breath (which kills between 20,000 and 240,000 people in the UK every year), the tap water we drink (a known cause of male infertility) and all the pesticides and herbicides on our fruit and veg.

Here’s Dr Pompa’s pdf on inflammation:

If you have not already started, know would be a good time to ask us about detox!

R3 – Restore Cellular Energy

Do you wake up exploding with energy?

Most people wish they had more energy, what about you?

In this video, recorded around Christmas 2016, for www.Mi365.me  again, I cover the basics of where energy is made and what you need to do:

 

When it comes to low cellular energy, it can be causing more than just fatigue.

You may not even have fatigue, but instead:

Allergies/sensitivities

And /or inflammation (arthritis, aches, pains, bowel problems)

You rectify low cellular energy by
i) increasing the fuel available
ii) increasing the number of ‘power plants’ in your cell.

The power plants inside your cells are called mitochondria, and they make energy via  molecule known as ATP.

Sick people and people with chronic inflammation have far fewer mitochondria  than the average person and, therefore, far less cellular energy even for basic function. Once again this leads to many of their symptoms including sensitivities as well as why they do not respond to what would be effective treatments.

In my  course ‘Anti-Ageing Health Lab- 7 Weeks to a Younger You’ I cover a lot more ways to improve energy .  There are multiple strategies for improving ATP production and mitochondrial performance.  There are also a further 5 ‘human batteries’ we can charge up apart from our mitochondria.

R2 – Regenerate Your Cell Membranes

The Four Horsemen of Your Health Apocalypse

I know.
It’s a dramatic title.
But it’s also alarmingly true.

Nearly all of today’s chronic illnesses are caused by a combination of these Four Horsemen. Ignore their insidious infestation into your life at your peril…

I originally made this video as part of a training series (I mentioned The Magnificent 7 Health Strategies).  For more details on that scroll down.

Back to the 4 Horsemen

1.Stress

No surprises here I’m sure. 75-90% of GP visits are related to stress, and stress contributes to everything from cancer to back pain.

2.Sedentary lifestyle

A lack of exercise is related to increased cancer, heart disease, depression, dementia, back pain etc.
Spinal motion all by itself is critically important. 90% of the brains stimulation comes from optimal spinal motion. The brain can turn on or off stress and regulates all of your body’s functions.

“90% of the stimulation and nutrition to the brain is generated by movement of the spine.”
-Dr. Roger Sperry (Nobel Prize Recipient for Brain Research)

“Approximately 80% of baseline activity of the central nervous system is due to mechanoreceptor input.”
-Kandel and Schwartz “Principles of Neural Science.” 4th Edition (2000)

Related to the spine is poor posture .  Poor posture leads to an early grave.

Am Journal of Pain Management – 1994 – posture effects and moderates every physiological function

Sept 2005 Spine article on posture  – all measures of health decreased as posture deviated from normal.

3.Malnutrition

Most people associate malnutrition to mean a lack of calories and picture starving children in Africa. However far MORE people die from too many calories combined with a lack of micronutrients. This is what plagues the UK.  Proper nutrition, which means supplements as well as a good diet, is the most cost effective way to improve the health of the nation.

Nutrition 17:1 return on investment: Copenhagen Consensus 2008: The world’s best investment

“Today, an adequate supply of nutrients is often unattainable solely through a well-balanced diet, so a targeted, individually designed dietary supplement regime is necessary”

“Improvement in nutritional behavior could not replenish already exhausted nutrient reservoirs. Only supplementation was able to significantly boost nutrient levels and confer beneficial effects on general welfare, physical performance, and resistance to infections”

4.Toxins

This is the most ignored area, yet often the most critical in serious and ‘terminal’ cases. There are at least 700 man made toxins in every adult and child. Toxins cause ¼ of all deaths world wide. They contribute to 86% of chronic disease (cancer, heart disease, dementia, Alzheimer’s  etc), and account for rising cancer rates in children.

“A World Health Organization report on the global burden of disease estimated that nearly a quarter of the global disease burden is related to environmental causes.”
