Juicing for Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is very painful and this condition is effecting so many people. There are some Studies showing that juicing + a healthy diet often reduces the pain symptoms of fibro. Fibromyalgia sufferers should consider doing a juice detox. A juice detox can elimate the toxins that could have been built up in your system.
I am not any type of certified expert, however having family members affected by fibro, I strongly believe that toxins within the body that are not elimiated properly is a main cause of fibro pain. In my honest opinion these toxins stay in the cells and muscles, causing more pain.
A well balanced and proper real food diet can turn this condition around for many. You might find it hard at first, but after some time you might be surprised. Try it!
Juicing helps to feed and cleanse your cells. This helps to keep your body functioning properly. I would recommend juicing at least once every day. When possible start slowly adding some greens to your juice daily.
Fruits and Veggies to use in your Juicing
Here are a few fruits and vegetables to add to your diet either to eat or juice.
Apples, Beets, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, Fennel, Green Beans, Jersalem Artichokes, Onions, Squash, Sweet Potato, Watercress

Thank you very much for posting these blogs
Thank you
I was just assessed with this condition after being overwhelmed by all-over body pain, and multiple other unexplained symptoms that seemed to slowly creep up on me. First I thought my mind was playing tricks on me, or I was aging prematurely. Then I ran to my doctor, in a panic thinking I was going into premature menopause or hypothyroidism. After months of adding vitamins, diet changes, pain relievers, with not much relief, I was finally referred to rheumatology and confirmed with fibromyalgia. I am just reading up everything I can, and just in the absorption phase of what this all means for me. But I’ve already decided it will not own me. Thank you for this blog. I will definitely be visiting your page daily!
Hey Julie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your story and your comment. I love the how you are deciding to do everything you can to not let fibro own you. Your comment has inspired me to start writing here again. After 100 articles I started to loose ideas of relevant things to write about and still be super helpful. If you have any particular questions you are wondering or if you would ever like to share your experiences and what is working for you let me know, I’d love to have you write an article for the blog.
Are you going to give juicing a try? Me and wife just did a 6 day reboot again and it has helped some already.
I think that is great, that your helping your wife! It can be a stressful thing to go through on your own! It takes a ton of time to educate YOUR self on fibro! Doctors seem to want to write you a prescription for lyrica or gabapentin and see you in 6 months! I’m finally taking the time to take care of myself in any natural way I can:)
Thank you Angie, please let keep us updated on your results with natural treatments. My wife had the worst time ever coming off of gabapentin. It was a nightmare, but thankfully now she is doing a lot better. Still has flare ups but they last a day or two instead of weeks. She was on lyrica for a while as well, the side effects were not as bad as the gaba was for here but it didn’t really help either.
