The National Biotechnology Information Center (NBIC) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently released the findings of research funded by grants from Eli Lilly Pharmaceuticals and Forest Laboratories that claim to have discovered a causative pathology (the science of cause and effect) for fibromyalgia.

The brain, representing only 2 percent by weight of the body, has no energy stores of its own. It requires about 60 per cent percent of the all […]

This process is often insidious, yet it eventually fulminates into a disease like fibromyalgia. This inflammatory process usually attacks the weakest area and can affect any organ or tissue in the body. It may eventually affect the […]
Fibromyalgia is an accumulation of seemingly unrelated conditions that arbitrarily come and go. Specialists usually treat only symptoms to their given specialty. Medications temporarily treat symptoms but do not address the disease. Research by R. Paul St. Amand M.D. found a genetically inherited involvement.
