Fibromyalgia syndrome: a Metabolic approach Grounded in Biochemistry for the remission of symptoms
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic, complex, and heterogeneous disorder of still poorly understood etiopathophysiology associated with important musculoskeletal widespread pain, fatigue, non-restorative sleep, and mood disturbances. It is estimated to afflict 2–3% of the worldwide population, with clean prevalence among women. The objective of this paper is to propose a novel treatment for symptomatic remission of FMS, grounded in biochemistry and consisting in the withdrawal from the ...

Anti-Inflammatory Diets and Fatigue
Abstract: Accumulating data indicates a link between a pro-inflammatory status and occurrence of chronic disease-related fatigue. The questions are whether the observed inflammatory profile can be (a) improved by anti-inflammatory diets, and (b) if this improvement can in turn be translated into a significant fatigue reduction. The aim of this narrative review was to investigate the effect of anti-inflammatory nutrients, foods, and diets on inflammatory markers and fatigue in various patient populations. Next to observational and epidemiological studies, ...

Do Nutritional Factors Interact with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain? A Systematic Review
Abstract: Dietary patterns may play an important role in musculoskeletal well-being. However, the link between dietary patterns, the components of patients’ diet, and chronic musculoskeletal pain remains unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to systematically review the literature on the link between dietary patterns, the components of patients’ diet and chronic musculoskeletal pain. This review was conducted following the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-An...

Fibromyalgia syndrome improved using a mostly raw vegetarian diet: An observational study
Abstract
Background: Fibromyalgia engulfs patients in a downward, reinforcing cycle of unrestorative sleep, chronic pain, fatigue, inactivity, and depression. In this study we tested whether a mostly raw vegetarian diet would significantly improve fibromyalgia symptoms.
Methods: Thirty people participated in a dietary intervention using a mostly raw, pure vegetarian diet. The diet consisted of raw fruits, salads, carrot juice, tubers, grain products, nuts, seeds, and a dehydrated barley grass juice ...

The role of diet in the treatment of fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia (FM) patients suffer from chronic overlapping symptoms including widespread pain, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and sleep problems, which are thought to be related to central sensitization [1]. To date, no treatment alone provides extensive symptom relief, which leads patients to wonder whether or not diet, as something directly in their control, could be modulated to lead to improvement. Currently, there is accumulating evidence that diet may be contributing to symptoms in FM, with strong biological plausibility for how ...
