has a cheap and easy treatment for
fibromyalgia one that
makes your symptoms go almost back to
nothing
been discovered and then suppressed
join me for the next few minutes as we
discuss the root cause of fibromyalgia
and some research that was very
compelling potentially groundbreaking
suppressed and the research study
retracted
for [ __ ] reasons i think you're
going to enjoy this and
perhaps you could benefit greatly if you
or a family member
suffers from fibromyalgia i'm dr ken
berry a family physician
with 20 years of clinical experience and
we're going to talk about the cure for
fibromyalgia that
no one wants to be talked about
over 10 million people in the united
states alone
suffer from the severe symptoms of
fibromyalgia
these people are 10 times more likely
to commit suicide or to attempt suicide
because of the severe fatigue the severe
pain the insomnia
and the depression that go along with
fibromyalgia
many research papers have hinted at the
root cause and
therefore the cure for fibromyalgia
over the past few years but one research
paper just came out and blatantly said
it
and the fate of that paper
is his concerning and i think you'll see
why in just a minute
this research article was published in
plus one
which is a fairly reputable online
journal
and the title is is insulin resistance
the cause of fibromyalgia
uh this paper went through all the
standard hoops and jumped over all the
standard hurdles
the publishers of plus one approved it
and it was released for
preliminary publication and then after
it was published all of a sudden
it was retracted and the reason for this
retraction is
very odd i've actually been in contact
with the lead publisher of this paper
and this is what he had to say about the
retraction
this is a quote we think the retraction
was
odd and it came as a surprise according
to the journal it was based on the
premise that we should have obtained an
irb letter of exclusion before we
started collecting research data not
after
neither we nor the academic editors were
aware of such regulation prior to
publication
incidentally similar retrospective
studies
abound in the literature there's
hundreds and hundreds of this type of
study
that are published by many journals
without
this new requirement and so
to put it bluntly they made up a reason
to retract
this paper thus the lead
author goes on to say we suspect that
outside interest probably pressured the
journal to retract the study
although we do not know what motivated
them to selectively apply a little known
controversial mechanism to retract our
study
complaints from big pharma who knows
yeah who knows the reason that such a
respected researcher as professor pipola
and i agree that there were vested
outside interests that had this paper
retracted
is because just imagine if every person
in the united states who suffers from
fibromyalgia
stopped eating the foods that contribute
to the root cause of fibromyalgia which
is
insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia
or
pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes these
are all
different ways of describing the same
elephant
what if all 10 million of these people
immediately adopted
a low carbohydrate diet and their
symptoms improved so much
that they also didn't need to take their
lyrica
their sevilla their elivil their
neurotin
anymore immediately overnight
big food corporations and big pharma
corporations would lose
billions of dollars of profits
so you can see right away why professor
papola and i
both think this was squashed
by some big players in the game
and because i think this study reveals
the root cause
of fibromyalgia and therefore directly
implies
what the treatment or the cure or or the
treatment to improve your symptoms
drastically
is in this study they used hemoglobin
a1c
as a proxy marker for insulin resistance
or
hyperinsulinemia i think there are
better
markers for that and we'll we'll talk
about that in just a second
but they found that people who took the
drug
metformin which is a very very
inexpensive version
of the brand name drug glucophage or rio
met
had a drastic reduction
in their pain scores very often going
from a
six to eight out of ten on the ten point
pain scale down to a
zero or a point five or a one out of ten
on that same pain scale he also noticed
in the research that there was a direct
correlation between
elevated hemoglobin a1c and the severity
of the symptoms
of the people in the study with
fibromyalgia i've included a link to
this research
study in the show notes below and also
some other research
that sufferers of fibromyalgia might
find very
very informative and useful for reducing
their their fibromyalgia disability
scores
so the question becomes okay so what
should i
do if if i or a loved one suffers from
fibromyalgia
here's what i think you should do first
and foremost you need to go see your
doctor
and demand respectfully demand that they
check a hemoglobin a1c a c
peptide and a fasting insulin
on you immediately this is going to tell
you
your degree of hyperinsulinemia or
insulin resistance and it's also going
to uncover
whether you have pre-diabetes which i
consider to be
early diabetes or type 2 diabetes that
could very well have been
undiagnosed if your doctor hasn't been
checking these tests
in the past number two the drug that
that
professor papola used in this study was
glucophage
immediately ask your doctor if you can
have a prescription and the
research used glucophage 500 milligrams
twice a day and i don't think that's the
long-term solution for you i'm going to
tell you what i think that is in a
second but
for now getting you on glucophage could
lead to a drastic reduction
in your fibromyalgia symptoms long term
you need to understand what is the diet
what kind of diet causes me
to have high levels of blood sugar and
high levels of
insulin that are chronically too high
and that is a
high carbohydrate diet a diet filled
with sugars
and filled with processed grains that's
the kind of diet that's going to cause
you to be insulin resistant or have
hyperinsulinemia so i would
i would implore you to immediately
research
and adopt some version of a low
carbohydrate diet trying to keep your
total carbohydrate
intake under 50 total grams a day this
could be a low carb diet a banting diet
a ketogenic diet a carnivore diet any of
these
types of diets are going to drastically
reduce your chronically elevated insulin
levels reduce your blood sugar levels
back to normal
and begin to reverse your insulin
resistance
which according to this research appears
to be the root cause
of fibromyalgia there's also quite a bit
of research showing that
most people with fibromyalgia are quite
depleted
in magnesium and that indeed their
symptoms improve when they start
getting more magnesium in their diet now
i have a video on this channel about
high magnesium foods you might want to
pick up something like ketochow's
magnesium drops so that you can
immediately
start to get more magnesium back into
your body while you're learning which
foods
are high in magnesium but i i think the
magnesium does matter
but that's probably 20 of the solution
80
of your solution to reversing your
fibromyalgia and the serious symptoms
that go along with it
is lowering the carbohydrates in your
diet
and the first carbohydrates that need to
get out of your diet are the sugars
and the processed grains the fruit
juices
and the fruit juice smoothies those are
the biggest offenders now of course if
you're drinking
soft drinks every day that's that's dumb
you need to stop that immediately
but i want you to really think about the
dynamics behind
how this study was retracted for
virtually no reason whatsoever no
meaningful reason
no no study participants were harmed
none of their rights were violated in
this study
just out of the blue this study was
retracted
and i want you to really think about
what that says about the current state
of big food and big pharma in the united
states
please i implore you if you know someone
with fibromyalgia
they need to hear what's in this video
they need to read this research study
they need to understand what the root
cause of their fibromyalgia is so please
share this video with them
and if you would like to to help me and
become part of team berry
as we rediscover a proper human diet and
uncover the dastardly deeds of big food
and big pharma corporations
consider becoming a patron at
patreon.com it's a super quick sign up
you can throw a buck or two my way so
that i have more time and more resources
to make videos just like this and you
also get a peek
behind the scenes at how we do what we
do and how all the research is
discovered
and then how i get it out to people
suffering
who need this information this is dr
barry i'll see you next time
