<p>Glenda previously shared a progress update with us about 5 weeks into care (<a href="http://fresnofibromyalgiadoctor.com/332/fibromyalgia-glenda/">Glenda&#8217;s 5 Week Update</a>). This progress video was taken approximately 5 months after the onset of care.</p>
<p>One thing people are curious about is how do our members do after they are done with the initial phase of their care?</p>
<p>I see Glenda now about once a month, or maybe even a bit less, and every time she is in, she is doing BETTER than she was the last time I saw her. The problem is many have experienced different methods of decreasing the pain that were only temporary, and all symptoms came back after the active phase of treatment was over.</p>
<p>With our care, because the custom Neuro-Metabolic Solutions program addresses the individuals unique physiology shifts, we can create a program that leads to more and more progress over time.</p>
<p>Glenda&#8217;s Neuro-Metabolic Solutions Program  includes home Brain Based Rehab Exercises, and the dietary and nutritional plan we put in place for her which is supporting and correcting her physiology.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s about doing the right things, at the right time, at the right frequency. I am happy that Glenda was willing to share her progress, because it&#8217;s not easy to get in front of the camera.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" alt="" src="http://fresnofibromyalgiadoctor.com/images/question2.jpg" style="margin: 5px; float: left;" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As promised I am going to go over the specific lab findings for the patient we highlighted in (</span></span><a href="http://fresnofibromyalgiadoctor.com/138/what-causes-fibromyalgia/"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Fibromyalgia Case Study Part 1</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">).&nbsp; We ordered a lot of tests and <strong>almost every test gave us a specific piece of information that is going to help us make specific changes</strong>. My point in detailing this case study is to show that simply labeling you with fibromyalgia, and then attributing every symptom to that diagnosis is a disservice to you as the patient.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">&nbsp;So lets dig in and see what we were able to discover that is going to have a huge impact in her life.<span id="more-175"></span></span></span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Stool Mycology Test </strong>- this test measures the ratio of good to bad bacteria in the gastrointestinal system. It looks for things like yeast overgrowth, bacterial infections, and parasitic infections. When we received the results of her test, we found that she has pinworms.
<p>		This is a lady who has suffered from &quot;Irritable Bowel Syndrome&quot; for over 10 years. No doctor, and she had been to a lot, had ever done this test to see what was really going on in her intestinal tract. She could have had this pinworm infection for years. The best part is a 3 day medical course of an antiparasitic medication will completely wipe the pinworms out and she will be done with it, <strong>but if we would have never checked, then we would have never found it.</strong><br />
		&nbsp; </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Adrenal Stress Index </strong>- We found that she was in a state of <strong>adrenal fatigue</strong>. Her adrenal glands were not producing cortisol adequately. I suspected that the driver of her adrenal dysfunction was secondary to blood sugar management and also immune / inflammation driven. Keep reading, to see why.<br />
		&nbsp; </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Gluten Antibody Test (Stool)</strong> &#8211; this is another important test to run for fibromyalgia patients. We wanted to see if she has a sensitivity to gluten, the small protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and American oats. People genetically sensitive to gluten will have their immune system attack the gluten proteins as if it was a bacteria or virus, resulting in inflammation from nearly every meal, as gluten tends to be in a lot of things we eat.
<p>		She was producing a massive amounts of gluten antibodies, and also had tissue transglutaminase antibodies, meaning she has a full blown autoimmune disease called Celiac Disease. This contant inflammation had created years of stomach irritability that had become unbearable. The treatment for this is simple &#8230; a gluten free diet. <strong>It may not be an easy thing to do but will make a huge difference in her life.</strong><br />
		&nbsp; </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Blood Chemistry and Immune Labs </strong>- we discovered that this patient was also <strong>pre-diabetic </strong>which explains the adrenal fatigue. Her immune panels also revealed that she has a pattern of active infection, but combined with the information about the pinworms and gluten, that is the source of the problem. <strong>Had we not had those tests we would have had to do more investigating into source of infection.<br />
		</strong><br />
		We are going to have her on a strict diet that will remove refined sugars, juice, and adrenal stimulants such as caffeine. Combined with some powerful adrenal support and insulin resistance supplementation she will completely reverse her prediabetic condition, lose weight, and remove a source of inflammation from her body (insulin is a big inflammatory mediator when in excess.)<br />
		&nbsp; </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Intestinal Permeability Test </strong>- as I mentioned in Part 1 Of this Case Study, we were testing for increased intestinal permeability, a condition called leaky gut syndrome. What we found was the opposite. The Celiac disease had created so much inflammation in her gut that she had decreased intestinal permeability. She had mucous build up in her intestine, and was not absorbing nutrients like she should. As she goes on her gluten free diet this will heal over time.</span></span></li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So by going gluten free in her diet, controlling her blood sugar by cutting adrenal stimulants and refined sugar, medical treatment for the parasite, and adrenal and insulin resistance nutritional support, <strong>this lady is going to make monumental changes in her life, IF she follow&#39;s through on my recommendations.</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Of course she also had a brain imbalance that we are going to have to address with </span></span><a href="http://fresnofibromyalgiadoctor.com/153/fresno-chiropractor-pioneers-brain-based-rehabilitation-for-fibromyalgia-in-california/"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Brain Based Rehabilitation</span></span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She will be receiving treatments in the office two times per week in the beginning to rehabilitate this. <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><strong>Bottom line, there was definite things wrong with her and we are going to specifically address them. That is how we move from &quot;Fibromyalgia&quot; to specific things we can change.</strong></span></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><strong><em class="LogoTextRed">Using Cutting-Edge Brain Science To Treat The Most Difficult Neurological and Chronic Pain Conditions <br />
	</em></strong></span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Boydston Brain Based Rehabilitation is the newest, state of the art diagnostic and treatment technique. It brings together research findings from the fields of psychology, neuropsychiatry, neurology, neurophysiology, and nutrition &#8212; and uses this knowledge to bring hope to the sick, unhappy, and hurting of all ages.&nbsp;<span id="more-195"></span></span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The brain and nervous system are often overlooked in traditional healthcare, despite the major role they play in coordinating every function in our body. Without a healthy brain you cannot have a healthy body. Boydston Brain Based Rehabilitation encompasses both assessment and treatment. We always start with a comprehensive brain and nervous system exam. We want to look at all the areas of a patients brain that are not functioning optimumly, being very specific to a functional brain region, and do rehabilitation procedures to strengthen those areas through a series of non-invasive modalties. <br />
	</span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><u><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Some of the highly effective brain activations we use in Boydston Brain Based Rehabilitation are:</span></span></u></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Unilateral Joint Stimulation: </strong>The right brain controls the left side of the body, and the left brain controls the right side. If there is a decrease of firing or impulses in one side of the brain, I ONLY WANT TO STIMULATE THE JOINTS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. Makes sense, doesn&rsquo;t it? Don&#39;t worry&#8230;.I WILL ONLY USE VERY LIGHT INSTRUMENT ACTIVATION SO YOU WILL NOT GET WORSE!&nbsp; Have you ever had a massage, a chiropractic manipulation, or physical therapy and felt worse afterward? It is because the treatment was TOO MUCH for your nervous system.&nbsp; It over-stimulated you and you crashed&#8230;..Get ready for another $5 term&#8230;. it Exceeded Metabolic Capacity (EMC). <br />
	</span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Auditory Stimulation: </strong>listening to sound in one ear will stimulate the opposite side of the brain and increase impulses. Different sounds (frequencies, tones, pitches) affect the right and left sides of the brain differently. We use professionally, specially composed music that specifically activates ones side of the brain. We use right brain music if your right side is weak, or left brain music if your left side is weak. <br />
	</span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Olfactory Stimulation: </strong>Your sense of smell is special. Your sight, sound, taste, and touch all travel through a sensory area of your brain called the thalamus. SMELL GOES DIRECTLY TO THE BRAIN &#8211; there&#39;s no middle man. Smells are powerful brain stimulations. I&#39;m sure you&#39;ve experienced this&#8230;..the smell of homemade cookies baking in the oven brings fond memories of your childhood flooding back&#8230;.makes your mouth water. Or on the other hand, just a whiff of spoiled milk makes your stomach turn. Smells you like stimulate the left side of the brain. Smells you don&#39;t like stimulate the right side of the brain. <br />
	</span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Calorics:</strong> A small amount of warm water in the ear will stimulate the semi&shy;circular canals in your inner ear. They send massive signals through the vestibular nerve in a chain reaction to several important brain areas: the cerebellum&#8230;.the cortex&#8230;.then down to the lower brainstem (pontomedullary region). Caloric stimulation is also fantastic for treating dizziness. </span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We might do things such as do some <strong>vestibular therapies</strong> using head tilts and rotations and body motions to fire off the inner ear, and then thus the cerebellum and then the cortex. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="contentpageText"><strong>We can also do things like different balancing sorts of exercise</strong>.&nbsp; We have you stand on one leg and throw a ball up in the air.&nbsp; We might have you on the floor doing specific <strong>core exercises to activate your cerebellum.</strong> We also use <strong>vibration </strong>because vibration is a powerful stimulator to the joints, muscles and the cerebellum. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Tactile stimulation</strong> is great because it stimulates the parietal lobe. When you feel something, an object or texture, your parietal lobe really starts to fire. So we use what we call a &ldquo;grab bag&rdquo; full of all sorts of objects, and shapes&mdash;and we do different exercises with them that activate the parietal lobe.</span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Targeting</strong> is great for the parietal lobe and the cerebellum because the parietal lobe is what helps you know WHERE things are. Being able to accurately target something depends on knowing WHERE it is. So if you have a parietal lobe problem, we would use targeting exercises for your hands, feet, fingers, or toes. </span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We use a <strong>special computer program called</strong> <strong>Hemistim</strong>. We can program this software to make these squares flash at a certain speed with certain colors that will stimulate a certain side of your brain.&nbsp; On top of that, we can make the red ball move in different directions that you have to follow with your eyes. This is called <strong>smooth pursuit tracking</strong>.</span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Now, these are just a few of the treatments that I may use to help your brain increase its firing. </strong>There are literally over one hundred ways we have to specifically activate and stimulate the brain. <strong>The key to the success of Boydston Brain Based Rehab is to be extremely specific in diagnosing the weak brain areas and applying activations or stimulations to those specific weakened areas.</strong> Other treatments we use involve eye movements, gross motor activities, light therapy, cognitive activities, puzzles, etc. The list is HUGE, and specific to each individual&#39;s needs. </span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The main thing you have to understand is that we stimulate the brain by using the receptors on the outside of the body that are wired and connected to the various areas of your brain. So if we find weakened areas in your right parietal lobe then we are going to use receptors that are wired to the parietal lobe.&nbsp; It is complex. Everything we do is non-invasive, non-drug, and promotes proper function in the brain. The brain has an amazing ability to adapt, change, and rewire if we give the proper fuel and activation. We can make the weak area strong again. </span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But it is not just as simple as stimulating weakened areas. We have to consider how much stimulation the brain can handle. We have to consider things like blood sugar delivery, oxygen delivery, neurotransmitter deficiencies, stress physiology, etc. For some people we have to make a series of nutritional changes before we can provide any stimulation. For some people we have to work really slowly. Too much stimulation for a neuron is called exceeding metabolic capacity, and if we do too much we can cause your symptoms to flare. Luckily we have ways to monitor fatigue and are very careful not to exceed your metabolic capacity. </span></span></p>
<p class="contentpageText"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We have incredible success with fibromyalgia, using our advanced Boydston Brain Based Rehabilitation. <br />

		<description><![CDATA[Fresno Chiropractor, Robert Boydston DC, is the only doctor offering Non-Invasive Brain Based Rehabilitation for Fibromyalgia in Fresno and Clovis. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;">For the last three years at the Boydston Institute we have been pioneering non-invasive brain based rehabilitation for fibromyalgia sufferer&#39;s in&nbsp;the Fresno / Clovis region, ultimately serving the entire Central San Joaquin Valley serving patients from Sacramento to Los Angeles.&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-invasive brain based rehabilitation is a chiropractic sub-speciality we use that has produced wonderful outcomes for our fibromyalgia patients.<span id="more-153"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Brain Based Rehabilitation&nbsp;is a way of looking at the brain from a functional perspective. Fibromyalgia is ultimately a neurological condition. In real simple to understand terms, fibromyalgia patients process pain completely different than the rest of us. What I might feel as just a light touch on my arm, the fibromyalgia patient will perceive as pain.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">So to really make a huge difference in the life of a fibromyalgia patient, a doctor really needs to examine neurological and brain function very closely, looking for findings that will reveal weakened brain areas. Once the specific lobe of the brain, functional brain area, and side of dysfunction are determined with testing, we rehabilitate that region with treatments that improve fuel and activation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">That&rsquo;s the focus of our Brain Based Fibromyalgia Recovery program. In Non-Invasive Brain Based Rehabilitation&nbsp;we are&nbsp;turning ON the brain of the fibromyalgia sufferer and making sure that the right and left sides are integrated, working together, and balanced.</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>How do we do that?</strong> We use everything we can to activate the parts of the brain that need it. We use specific forms of sensory stimulation&#8230;like different kinds of light, sound, vibration and certain smells. &nbsp;We use specific eye movements, cognitive visualizations, imagery exercises. We work on the cerebellum with special core exercises, non linear complex movements, and caloric stimulations.</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">And the whole point is to turn ON your brain. I want to talk more about how we do that.</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">Think of your brain as a solar powered calculator.&nbsp; If kept out of the sunlight, the power diminishes.&nbsp; What we do is use specific therapies to turn the light back on so your brain functions like it should.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="style60" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>So what are WE actually doing to treat you?&nbsp; </strong></span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">Well there&rsquo;s 100&rsquo;s of different therapies we may use &ndash; it depends on the area that is weak for you.&nbsp;Let&rsquo;s go through a couple of these&hellip;</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">We might do things such as do some vestibular therapies using head tilts and rotations and body motions to fire off the inner ear, and then thus the cerebellum and then the cortex.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" height="300" src="http://drboydston.com/images/cerebellarrehab.JPG" width="400" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>We can also do things like different balancing sorts of exercise</strong>.&nbsp; We have you stand on one leg and throw a ball up in the air.&nbsp; We might have you on the floor doing specific <strong>core exercises to activate your cerebellum.</strong> We also use <strong>vibration </strong>because vibration is a powerful stimulator to the joints, muscles and the cerebellum.</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Tactile stimulation</strong> is great because it stimulates the parietal lobe. When you feel something, an object or texture, your parietal lobe really starts to fire. So we use what we call a &ldquo;grab bag&rdquo; full of all sorts of objects, and shapes&mdash;and we do different exercises with&nbsp;&nbsp;them that activate the parietal lobe.<img alt="tactilestim" height="400" src="http://drboydston.com/images/tactile%20stim.JPG" width="400" /></span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Targeting</strong> is great for the parietal lobe and the cerebellum because the parietal lobe is what helps you know WHERE things are. Being able to accurately target something depends on knowing WHERE it is. So if you have a parietal lobe problem, we would use targeting exercises for your hands, feet, fingers, or toes.</span></p>

<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Saccades</strong> are quick eye movements between two points. The frontal lobe is responsible for making these happen. So saccade exercises are a way to activate the frontal lobe. And remember the frontal lobe is often weak in fibromyalgia.</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Visual discrimination</strong> is a therapy where we make you use one side of your brain. Here&rsquo;s an example.</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><center><span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="visual discrimination" height="400" src="http://drboydston.com/images/bigletter%20in%20small%20letter.jpg" width="400" /></span></center></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">It&rsquo;s the E, right? Seeing the big picture, or the lowest frequency letter, is the job of the right brain. So if I show you a series of these and tell you to tell me what the big letter is , we&rsquo;re exercising your right brain. And it&rsquo;s just opposite for the left brain. It picks out the details. So if you saw the A&rsquo;s, that was your left brain being a little dominant.</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">The next thing we might do in our rehab program are <strong>proprioceptive exercises</strong>&hellip;</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">It&rsquo;s a big word, but what it means is &ldquo;unconscious&rdquo; perception of where your body is and what it&rsquo;s doing. So, when you close your eyes, you don&rsquo;t fall over because your brain is getting signals from your joints and muscles and those signals are going to your cerebellum and parietal lobe.</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">In people with fibromyalgia, this proprioception is usually pretty bad. We&rsquo;ll test you to see if this is the case.</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">We might do <strong>AUDITORY STIMULATION</strong>: listening to sound in one ear will stimulate the opposite side of the brain and increase impulses. Different types of sounds (frequencies, tones, pitches) affect the right and left sides of the brain differently.&nbsp; We use professionally, especially composed music that specifically activates one side of the brain. We use right brain music if your right side is weak, or left brain music if your left side is weak.</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>OLFACTORY STIMULATION:</strong> Your sense of smell is special. Your sight, sound, taste, and touch all travel through a sensory area of your brain called the thalamus. However, SMELL GOES DIRECTLY TO THE BRAIN&#8211;there&#39;s no middle man. Smells are powerful brain stimulations. I&#39;m sure you&#39;ve experienced this&#8230;.the smell of homemade cookies baking in the oven brings fond memories of your childhood flooding back&#8230;makes your mouth water. Or on the other hand, just a whiff of spoiled milk makes your stomach turn. Smells you like stimulate the left side of the brain. Smells you don&#39;t like stimulate the right side of the brain.</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>CALORICS:</strong> a small amount of warm water in the ear will stimulate the semi-circular canals in your inner ear. They send massive signals through the vestibular nerve in a chain reaction to several important brain areas: the cerebellum&#8230;the cortex..then down to the lower brainstem (pontomedullary region). Remember, it&#39;s your lower brainstem and cortex that slow down the over-firing upper brainstem (mesencephalon). Caloric stimulation is also fantastic for treating dizziness.</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">And then of course we have to use chiropractic adjustments. Adjustments work because they&rsquo;re incredible brain stimulations, not to mention just helping the musculoskeletal joints and everything move the way they&rsquo;re supposed to so that we get good communication; but the adjustment itself is a very powerful stimulation to the cerebellum, the thalamus and the &nbsp;parietal lobe.&nbsp; We adjust the spine and the arms, legs, feet and hands. And so we&rsquo;re going to use them, but we&rsquo;re going to do what&rsquo;s called unilateral adjusting.&nbsp; We&rsquo;re going to be very specific, once again that&rsquo;s one of my favorite words, about where we&rsquo;re going to adjust them and what side we&rsquo;re going to adjust them&hellip;in order to strengthen the side of the brain that needs to be strengthened.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">If there is a decrease of firing or impulses in one side of the brain, I only want to stimulate the joints on the opposite side. Makes sense, doesn&rsquo;t it? Don&#39;t worry&#8230;I WILL ONLY USE VERY LIGHT INSTRUMENT ACTIVATION SO YOU WILL NOT GET WORSE!&nbsp; Have you ever had a massage, a chiropractic adjustment, or physical therapy and felt worse afterward? It is because the treatment was TOO MUCH for your nervous system.&nbsp; It over-stimulated you and you crashed&#8230; it Exceeded Metabolic Capacity (EMC).</span></p>
<p class="style30"><span style="font-size: small;">We also use the<strong> DRX9000 spinal decompression machine</strong>. It is designed to gently, safely, and effectively help treat lumbar disc herniations, and sciatica. Many fibromyalgia patients have some major structural issues with their low back. Spinal decompression allows us to fix those problems&hellip;without surgery. It&rsquo;s another great tool in our rehab program. Not only does it gently stretch and repair the discs in the back&hellip;the slow stretch of the muscles is a great stimulation to the cerebellum.</span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Doing so may reveal why many fibromyalgia treatments fail, and how to fix that. Read about our approach.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" alt="" src="http://fresnofibromyalgiadoctor.com/images/globe.jpg" style="margin: 3px; float: left;" /><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">In my opinion the reason that those with&nbsp;fibromyalgia go from doctor to doctor, and continue to suffer is that we have created an inadequate system of &quot;specialists&quot; in our healthcare model. The reason I say that is because our body doesn&#39;t work that way. We don&#39;t have&nbsp;a series of systems that work independently of each other.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Most doctors learn the body in chapters. Chapter one-the heart, chapter two-the lungs, chapter 3-the stomach and intestines&#8230;you get the picture. That&#39;s why there are &#39;specialists&#39; for each of those book chapters. The problem is that millions of you see specialist after specialist after specialist and you still don&#39;t get any better.&nbsp;<span id="more-144"></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Learning and understanding the body in this way&#8211;compartmentalizing it&#8211;makes the doctor TOO focused on any one system. He/she loses sight of the big picture.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>The BIG picture is that Everything is connected [I know nothing ground breaking, but why is it not put into practice more often?]</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><font color="#ff0000" style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17);">Let me give you an example. Gluten intolerance can cause systemic inflammation. The inflammation can cause headaches, mouth ulcers, weight gain or weight loss, poor immunity to disease, and gastrointestinal upset. If this goes untested and untreated long enough it can turn on genes for autoimmune thyroid. The patient will now have fatigue, weight gain, hair loss etc. This can continue and cause hormone shifts, vitamin and mineral imbalances, upset blood sugar regulation, and sabotage hormone balance, and lead to pain.</font></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>So what doctor is going to look for the gluten intolerance and autoimmune condition PLUS know how to rehabilitate that person&#39;s brain so it functions normally again PLUS know what natural supplementation will modulate the immune attack and support the brain?</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">That&#39;s why I call it THE BIG PICTURE.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Day after day I talk to people suffering with every conceiveable symptom and &quot;diagnosis&quot; you can think of: peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, fibromyaglia, polycystic ovaries, thyroid, multiple sclerosis, autism&#8212;and even some conditions that don&#39;t have a formal label yet.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">And these people have been to the rheumatologist, who sent them to the neurologist who sent them to the &quot; Specialist.&quot; And years go by but the person never really gets better. WHY?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Because none of these doctors have taken a step back and looked, seriously, AT THE WHOLE PERSON. All their systems, All the possibilities. All at once. Why waste 6 months, 12 months going to all these different people?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">I&#39;m not talking about just medical doctors. Having been through chiropractic college I can say that the same thing happened to me. Fortunately, what helped open my eyes to the bigger picture was neurology. It&#39;s a scientific fact that the brain and nervous system control EVERY aspect of your health. In fact, you can&#39;t name a body function or body part that the brain and nervous system don&#39;t help control and regulate. Hey, this is why I branched into Chiropractic Neurology.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">But&nbsp;the&nbsp;reality is,&nbsp;I<strong> need to look at&nbsp;everything</strong>:</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">hormones (female AND male) </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">neurology (the brain, peripheral nervous system and central nervous system) </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">nutrition (I mean what to eat, not eat, what foods do to the body) </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">biochemistry </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">neurotransmitters </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">toxins (toxic metals, chemicals, environmental) </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">genetics (a LOT of people have a genetic piece to their puzzle). </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">blood sugar </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">digestive system </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">respiratory system </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">muscles </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">bones </span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">How many different specialists would you have to go see to make sure you got a comprehensive assessment? 5? 10?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Like I said, I&#39;ve had to become learned and proficient with that entire list. There is<strong> NO</strong> way I would&#39;ve been able to help 90% of the patient&#39;s in my practice without knowing all that. The majority of people that see us have been mismanaged, mis-diagnosed and already seen plenty of specialists.&nbsp; See one of my fibromyalgia case studies to illustrate this fact.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our goal is to create great outcomes for our patients like <a href="http://fresnofibromyalgiadoctor.com/78/fresno-fibromyalgia-patient-claims-this-fibromyalgia-treatment-is-nothing-short-of-miraculous/">Mary</a>, and <a href="http://fresnofibromyalgiadoctor.com/111/chronic-fatigue-success-fresn/">Linda</a> you may have read about. Other doctors think I am insane for working with fibromyalgia patients. It is a pleasure to work with fibromyalgia patients because the changes we can make can be phenomenal. I have 4 young kids, and if I going to be away from them to be in my practice I want to make that time count, I want to make a real difference in my patients lives. It&#39;s my calling.</span></span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[What causes fibromyalgia? Dr. Robert Boydston reviews a case study of a patient who was able to "look under the hood" and identify some key things that were causing her fibromyalgia.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" alt="" src="http://www.fresnofibromyalgiadoctor.com/images/question.jpg" style="margin: 5px; float: left;" /><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-family: Arial;">You may have asked yourself what causes fibromyalgia? Some refer to it as a mystery or &quot;invisible&quot; illness. Honestly, for most doctors it is a diagnosis given when they feel they have run out of options. So really it is a syndrome, or a name that describes a group of symptoms. Now before I go any further I don&#39;t mean to imply the pain, fatigue, insomnia, or other symptoms are not real, not at all. </span></span></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">My position on this has always been&#8230; &quot;there is something definitely wrong, and if we look hard enough, at the right things, we can create a phenomenal outcome for fibromyalgia patients.&quot; <span id="more-138"></span></span></span></strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The patient I want to tell you about today drove a great distance to see me. She was looking for real answers, not just more pills. I don&#39;t mean to demean or put down any patients who must take medications&nbsp;to create some resemblance of normalcy, but they DO create long term </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">side effects, and they NEVER, address the source of the problem. Anything that is going to make things more bearable in the short term, are often necessary. You have to get through the day. Certainly though, just getting through the day can&#39;t be the long term goal.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So let me tell you about a particular patient I have had the pleasure of beginning to work with. At the onset, after reviewing a lengthy case history, we decided that there was very likely a number of metabolic underpinnings that lied at the root of her pain and other symptoms. So we agreed to run some laboratory tests that would give us great information about her condition. We ran the following tests:</span></span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Stool Mycology Test </span></span></strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">- we wanted to check for intestinal dysbiosis (ratio of good to bad bacteria), yeast overgrowth, and any bacterial or parasitic infections. She had a long history of IBS (another wonderful diagnosis that doesn&#39;t really tell us a whole lot), and no doctor had bothered to run a similar test like this to see what was really going on.<br />
		&nbsp; </span></span></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Adrenal Stress Index </span></span></strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">- we wanted to see if her adrenal glands were functioning properly. One of the things the adrenal production of cortisol is important for is the stabilization of blood glucose. Your cells, especially the brain, rely on a steady supply of oxygen and glucose, and patients with adrenal fatigue or dysfunction, have brains that are metaphorically running on &quot;mud&quot;.<br />
		&nbsp; </span></span></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Gluten Antibody Test (Stool)</span></span></strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> &#8211; A common source of gut inflammation, and a simple test that lets us know if the body is treating gluten, the protein in wheat and many other grains, as a foreign invader. Also she had marked balance problems and a huge association between gluten antibody production is cerebellum antibody production. Yes, some people will actually start to create antibodies to their own brain, such that every gluten containing meal is causing damage to a critical part of the brain and result in symptoms of&nbsp;vertigo, dizziness, or decreased balance. Of course there are many things that can cause this presentation, but this is a very real possibility.<br />
		&nbsp; </span></span></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Intestinal Permeability Test </span></span></strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">- This is a test that measures how wide the junctions in the&nbsp;stomach are. A condition called leaky gut occurs when these junctions are larger than normal, allowing large proteins and molecules to pass through the gut lining, and interact with the immune system. This can create major inflammation, and set a person up for an autoimmune reaction or a full blown autoimmune disease.<br />
		&nbsp; </span></span></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Full Blood Chem, Immune, and Metabolic Panels</span></span></strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">&nbsp;- bottom line was she had a history of autoimmune disease, and a history of gestational diabetes so we needed to see where she was metabolically. <br />
		</span></span></li>
</ol>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So what did we find?</span></span></strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> Well we had several significant findings from every test. When I go over the findings you will see that there was definitely many things that were wrong with her body, that were specific, and will lead us to very specific action steps to change her life in a profound way.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">We are just getting started but in time she will not be the same person ever again if she does what I advise. I am confident she will. In the next post I will share the findings from the tests and what we are going to do to help her. This post is getting long, but I will lay it all out on the table.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Now I don&#39;t arbitrarily order these tests. In this case the history necessitated that THESE tests be ordered, and when I show you what we found you will see why. She actually left a little angry, not at me, but angry at the medical system that had pushed pills and band-aids on her, and never really worked hard for her. She has a stack of results to take back to her doctors and &quot;shove in their face&quot; as she put it. I advised her to take the high road, which I really hope she does.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So stay tuned for part 2, where I will share the results and what she will have to do to turn her life around.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">If you haven&#39;t picked up a copy of our report, that goes through our </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">brain based and metabolic approach to treating fibromyalgia, you can request a copy</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> in the form below:</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" src="http://drboydston.typepad.com/.a/6a00e553666c2c8833010536bb6487970c-pi" style="margin: 5px; float: left;" />All of the current fibromyalgia research that is being published seems to have one unified theme: fibromyalgia is a neurological problem (at least it has a huge neurological component.) The breakthrough comes when you start to realize that the brain is like a big muscle.<br />
	</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">A good way to look at the brain is to think of it&nbsp;as a muscle&#8230;as lot&#39;s of different muscles. Sometimes the muscles are really strong and other times they are really weak. When the muscles&#8230;or different areas in the brain, become weak&#8230;it will<span id="more-131"></span>begin to cause symptoms. Things like pain, fatigue, fast heart beat, insomnia, brain fog, and dizziness. The symptoms you get, depends on the area affected&#8230;and to what degree.<br />
	</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">If we can identify the areas that are weak we&nbsp;CAN strengthen them through all sorts of non-drug methods. We can use sensory and motor&nbsp;stimuli to activate or strengthen these brain&nbsp;regions and help them to work properly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We may do specific core exercises, non-linear complex movement, or eye movements to activate or strengthen different areas of the cerebellum. We may use targeting exercises or tactile stimulation to strengthen a weak parietal lobe.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The treatment is dictated by the diagnosis. In fibromyalgia, dizziness, chronic fatigue syndrome&#8230;almost any chronic illness&#8230;there is going to be some neurological dysfunction, many of these disorders like the ones I mentioned, have a primary neurological component. Of course there is still&nbsp;the issue of inflammation, hormones, blood sugar, adrenals, cortisol&#8230;etc that could affect our brain&nbsp;rehab&#8230;and we look at those things as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">It just makes sense that neurological weakness would be treated this way. How is a drug ever going to fix a weak or degenerating cerebellum? If you have a weak bicep is there a pill to magically make it strong? Of course not. You have to exercise it. The same with the brain. This is why our drug-free brain based rehabilitation&nbsp;approach is so successful with neurological disorders. It is exactly what is needed.</span></p>
