Eliminate Fibromyalgia Pain This Winter With Wool!
Dear Readers,
This week I'd like to tell you about an amazingly simple but very effective tip for treating fibromyalgia pain — a particularly timely one, as cold weather often makes FMS pain worse, and we're just heading into the winter months. The secret? Wool! Wearing long underwear made of wool during the day, and using wool sheets and wool pillowcases on your bedding can dramatically reduce your fibromyalgia-related pain!
Such a nearly effortless (and comfy!) treatment may seem too good to be true. It's low cost and has no toxicity. And it's amazingly effective! A study reported in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine showed an 84% drop in pain in FMS patients who used the wool versus those who didn't. This isn't a case of researchers "getting the wool pulled over their eyes" (I couldn't resist the pun) — it really works. And I'm very happy to fill you in on the details so that you'll be prepared to use the treatment yourself this winter.
In a second study I'll discuss under "Research Briefs," another simple technique shows how to literally wash away pain — using only a few cents worth of Epsom salts!
Two more simple ways to get pain free NOW!
Love & blessings,
Dr. T

This Week's Joke
More Wisdom From Little Larry
Larry's kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted criminals.
One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person.
"Yes," said the policeman, "The detectives want very badly to capture him."
Larry asked, "Why didn't you just keep him when you took his picture?"
