If you're willing to try new solutions, I would encourage you to consult with an osteopath and find a Hellerwork practitioner. I have had excellent success with both. An osteopath can find things that a Chiropractor can't and the Hellerwork practitioner will release your fascia which may be the cause of your pain.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and later diagnosed with pcos and ultimately stage 4 endometriosis. This started almost 30 yrs ago. As a nurse at the time for 14 years I turned to keto, despite a rheumatologist telling me I would suffer for the rest of my life. I refused Lyrica due to way too many side effects. I continue to find relief by following a low carb high protein diet, and a steady weight-lifting regimen. I took high-grade iodine drops after being diagnosed with Hashimotos, and my nodules disappeared. Ditch the carbs, cake and bread. My A1c remains low. I completely revised my diet. Magnesium reversed my plantar fascitis. . None of this happened overnight. I did acupuncture and chiropractic visits, and meditation for anxiety and depression instead of pain meds and welbutrin. Did end up w/a hysterectomy. Firm believer in ashwhaghanda and Sam-E. I'm 60 years young and getting better every day. Still working as a nurse too for 28 years. I occasionally have a drink and some chocolate, but try to make it rare. Lots of options. Take back your power folks and do your research. America is about options!

I was told I would likely have much increased risk of stroke and heart attack if I quit taking them. I was told that the pains came from spinal stenosis, and I needed to go to a neurosurgeon to get evaluated for surgery to help such pain. I went onto Pubmed for 20 minutes, and found six papers with data explaining such pain I had had increasing for 25 yrs. I cut to 1/2 dose with no improvement. My GP said try 1/10th dose to see. I did that, and had no relief. I quit, and had almost immediate relief, and no longer needed Ibuprofen to live. Buyer beware. IMHO

My wife started getting fibromyalgia 3 years ago and in March this year it was intolerable. She was in pain all the time. We changed to a Keto diet and she saw improvement within 2 weeks. We have now been doing Keto for 8 months and she has no more pain. She can now even eat some junk carbs again when she feels like it. What has been the most amazing thing is that we actually don't WANT to eat the stuff anymore because we don't enjoy the taste anymore! A little bit every now and again maybe. I enjoy every single meal and always look forward to my meals. However, we are never hungry anymore and fasts 16-20 hours a day. I used to have to eat 5 times a day. It's liberating to not have to constantly worry about the next meal. We have both seen multiple health markers improve (9 for me) and not that either of us had much weight problems (my wife gained a bit too much maybe the last year before we started Keto), but so many other things were problematic that we used to blame on 'age'. I had Vertigo for 5.5 years. Three months on Keto and it was gone!

My close friend suffered with fibromyalgia for many, many years. She would get med upon med for 2 to 3 years until her body rebelled and she would end up in the emergency room for some random extreme problem. At that time, and after many tests, the emergency doctor would tell her to stop all meds immediately. Slowly over time her regular doctor would again stockpile her meds, until once again she was in emergency. This cycle repeated 3 or 4 times until on her final emergency visit she was told that she had cirrhosis of the liver. Being she had never consumed alcohol (for religious beliefs), she was shocked. The doctor told her that over use of medications could also cause cirrhosis of the liver. He told her to get off meds and stay off meds. This time, she committed to stay off meds. The next day she quit diet coke, started to take short walks, improved her eating and sleeping habits. It took less than 2 years and she considers herself fibromyalgia free. The condition of her liver means she has to take care with her meals. (Which, honestly, has been a blessing.)

My partner suffered from fibro, svt and ibs for years, passing out, unable to keep most food down, fatigue and lethargy, sleep apnoea and more. It was terrifying. Doctors treated him awfully, called him a hyperchondriac, prescribed peppermint tablets and told him to “just eat more vegetables” as he was somewhat overweight. He was traumatised by all of this, terrified he was dying and nobody cared to help. It got to such a low point when he said f this and took things into his own hands. He changed his diet himself by paying attention to his body, his inner compass, and following a low-fodmap diet (with some changes of course), he also sought therapy for his trauma, and made great strides in both physical and mental health. Now after so much hard work and paying close attention to his mind and body, he is able to eat/drink whatever he likes (yet still a majority healthy diet), he is thriving and is so much happier and empowered and confident. I’m so proud of him and so happy to be out of that hell. There is hope out there, please listen to your body and mind and take care of your self first and foremost ❤️ tune in to your needs and your inner compass, it takes time, but you do have an inner guidance system that is so powerful if you can learn to listen to it and differentiate it from fear responses. And boy does it take practice and a lot of self love, but mine and my partner’s inner compass has pointed us down the right path time and time again, where most doctors have mislead us, doubted us, and fed that fear and self doubt. Yes, doctors can help with certain ailments, but with these invisible illnesses it becomes a real skill to be able to wade through their “I know better than you because med school” gaslighting gatekeepy bs and stand up for the real pain and suffering you feel inside yourself, and what you know to be real and true.

I also cured my diabetes, pcos, endometriosis, anxiety, depression, ptsd, asthma and every single chronic illness that lived in my body. It was only when I was so fed up from being led astray from people who pretend to be authority figures that I figured things out myself. Now I live with zero pain and was also able to conceive naturally - something I’ve been told since I was 15/16 would likely be impossible. It’s disturbing what is being covered up in order for big ph@rm@ to make profit.

@@unboundedindigo7632 wow what an incredibly massive achievement! It’s so interesting how when one thing “unlocks” the rest tend to follow ✨ So often doctors just treat symptoms and not the cause, and as they turn away from the fundamentals of the human experience when it can’t be explained through science, they stop themselves from treating the cause of the symptoms. I used to think holistic medicine wasn’t worth my time, but once I realised conventional means were harming more than helping, I began looking into it more. Not ashamed to say, it’s helped me and my partner both far more in the last year than anything a doctor has done for me in the last 10 years. Healed trauma, depression/anxiety, and all sorts of medical conditions stemming from them. I’m so glad to hear you paved your own way to healing too, and that many more seem to be doing the same 💛

I know if I was going to imagine something about myself it sure wouldn't be something painful!

I started have fibro symptoms at a very young age. By the time I was 23 I was in horrible shape. I had never been overweight but had been on a low calorie, low fat, sugar filled diet my whole life. I was diagnosed and given Lyrica. The first 2-4 weeks on lyrica felt like a miracle! I thought I was better. I thought I could finally start living well. Nope........after that point the benefits began to wain and I gained 40lbs in one year on it. I was not binge eating. I was following my same dietary values as before even stricter in fact. I quit that mess. (Which was a whole other bear) So, I have been struggling with pain, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression my whole life. People that were older than me continually told me I was too young to be feeling that bad so thus I wasn't. (😡) I started keto 2 weeks ago after fighting with my 40 lyrica pounds for a few years and my husband having many health complications of his own. (Fatty liver) I started feeling better in 2-3 days. 2 weeks in and I never want to see a carb again. I love carbs but no bread or pasta is worth feeling like that. I hope to be off of antidepressants in the near future now as well.

Dr Berry, I respect you a great deal. I’ve had all the tests for a1c and fasting glucose, etc(many more tests over the yrs too, never been pre diabetic). Wish it was as simple as changing my diet for me. I am a patient at UNC Chapel Hill and see Rheumatology and Neurology. Keto and even carnivore did not “cure” me. I have done all the supplements for over 2 yrs now. I’ve followed your advice since 2017, and listen to you and Neisha too. I take high doses of magnesium, melatonin, vitamin D3 and K2 and C, have for a least 2 of the 3 yrs keto(like I mentioned before, have also lost 72 lbs)While I have gotten tremendous relief, and thankful for so many who get their cure all, I did not get my cure all. Still grateful for the improvements over past 3 yrs. It’s just very hurtful for many who have still suffered pain like I have for over 16 or more yrs to come on here and read others calling it a fake or bogus disease, when I live it and have seen many specialists. It’s very inconsiderate to those who live it and do not get their full cure all. I haven’t taken drugs for Fibro for over 14 yrs, because they did not help and caused other side effects, but my chronic pain is a reality that I live with every single day. I will still watch, learn, and keep staying on it. It’s certainly helped more than anything else. People need to be respectful for what they do not know or live themselves and every one is different. I agree with you on many points Dr Berry, but it isn’t a cure all for everyone who truly has fibromyalgia, and especially from neurological and central nervous system issues like mine was diagnosed. I do appreciate your care and help though. Thank you Dr Berry and Neisha.

Ha! Well, this is an interesting coincidence. Since adopting a modified Keto diet (low carb) my wife has noticed that her Fibro symptoms are less and when she eats too much sugar, it's worse. Magnesium is also helpful, many people have said such and she finds it helps and it keeps her regular, which is harder as you age, especially for women. Studies show they not only digest slower than men, but get constipated more often too. Fibro also seems to affect women more than men too. So get your mag. ladies and make sure you get enough water, as that's how mag keeps you regular, by drawing water into the intestines. Hence milk of magnesia, as a laxative. Epsom salt baths are great for Fibro pain for the same reason, magnesium sulfate. This has been a common thing discussed in Fibro forums and they all agree, including her, that mag. supplementation, is a game changer. And it helps your bones and more, so......And oh, fun fact it is now proven that magnesium is protective against lung Cancer.

Back in the 80's I ran across some data that implied that low magnesium was a better indicator of the severity of heart attacks than potassium imbalance. The summation didn't suggest stopping routine testing for the usual electrolytes and enzymes, rather that magnesium levels should be added to routine cardiac bloodwork. Nothing ever showed up in the literature after that, though, not even any data that proved the opposite. It just seemed to "disappear" from consideration.

Most Drs I've seen try to tell me Depression caused my physical pain when I knew the pain caused the depression. I quit taking their antidepressants which caused more depression. I eat healthy try to exercise carefully & feel so much better. The depression was due to tragedies which is normal & it's dangerous that most Doctors drug you & don't give a crap the damage they do to your health & life!!! 1 Dr gave me a drug for Fibromyalgia & it paralyzed my arm for days, then my neck, it was terrifying!!! READ THE FINE PRINT OF PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS/POISON! I asked Drs WHY they gave me drugs that have horrible side effects without explaining those risks, they get angry & say well we believe the benefits outweigh the risks. WHY is that THEIR decision & not OURS???? Ridiculous what they get away with! Thank you!!!! God bless you and all HONEST Doctors.

And I think that actually makes it worse. I have just started taking, the fat soluble b1 benfotiamine. Did you spread your dose out over the day or take it all at once?

However, 20+ years later I could see that being the case now. Unfortunately, I also have chronic lymes disease. I loved reading the comments on this video, it gives me hope.

My mother has fibromyalgia. She has been taking Magnesium supplements and that alone has resolved 80% of all her symptoms. It all started when she was in agony and was complaining of having a) No energy. b) muscle pain. c) mental fog and being stuck in bed. To me, being young and in sports at the time, it sounded like her muscles were not either healing or getting the nutrients to perform, and that is why they were hurting. We all were eating the same foods, so I knew she should have had plenty of vitamins and proteins to help her muscles. So I did a bit of research on what vitamins / supplements were the best at a) supporting muscles getting the nutrients they need and b) helping muscles heal c) help product energy. Magnesium tackled two of those. At first she didn't think it would help, but I chastised her that she needed to try for a while so that the nutrient levels would have time to build up in here body and in her muscles. Sure enough, she quit hurting so much and became more and more active and returning to her work ethic and hobbies, but she still didnt have all the energy. She takes CoQ10 and Vitamin D and that seems to do the trick. I'd say she's at 95% recovery. If she neglects her supplements or over does it, it will set her back a day (which is normal at her age I think anyways), but certainly not weeks on end being bed ridden anymore.

This is certainly one path to explore, but isn’t the only one. For me personally, mine is related to the MTHFR, CBS genetic mutations as well being on the Ehlers Danlos Syndrome hyper mobility spectrum. If you have the CBS genetic mutation a high keto diet, could in some cases, aggravate your symptoms. I mostly do a low carb diet. But I eat lots of sweet potatoes which is a low glycemic food. Another link to fibromyalgia is Lyme, Epstein Barr virus and heavy metal poisoning.

Metformin is one of those very few drugs that is beneficial in the long run. It also reduces chances of getting cancer. My wife had stage III cervical cancer which she was very lucky to survive after radiation treatment 22 years ago. She then had breast cancer 11 years ago where she was given radiation and surgery again. One doctor tried her best to give her chemo which we knew at the time has little to no effect on breast cancer, actually makes it worse, but we refused. As a diabetic I take metformin and heard around the time the benefits of metformin in suppressing cancer. I started giving her small doses of mine and she's been cancer free since. There was another study that shows diabetics on metformin have a higher lifespan than non-diabetics that don't take metformin. This leads me to believe that Metformin is not that different from the herb it comes from, Goat's Rue. The only drawback I can find is that it depletes the body of vitamin B, make sure you take extra B with it.

Dr Berry above has a keto 101 video if you search his channel and it gives you a nice easy rundown of how to do it. Basically if you stick to meat, dairy, eggs, above ground vegetables, herbs and spices (as long as they have no sugar added) and low carbohydrate fruit (such as berries and avocado) you can't go wrong. If you really need a treat, 70%+ dark chocolate is fine (you may find that doesn't taste sweet now, but once you've been keto for a while it tastes very sweet. If you start looking for all the keto treats, or trying to add huge amounts of fat, or worry about too much protein, or needing to measure this that or the other with expensive strips etc you'll go crazy but non of that is necessary. Also don't feel you have to do it all at once. I started by just making my breakfast keto, when I got used to that and had figured out a few options that worked for me and it had become a habit, I also made my morning snack keto, then lunch etc until I was following an entirely ketogenic diet. It took me about 3 months to become fully keto but by the time I got there it felt normal, it wasn't difficult to follow as I'd done it little by little. I also avoided any side effects that way. It's definitely worth the effort though.

Hello Dr. Berry, Thank you for your research on Fibromyalgia. However, I don’t think this applies to ALL people with Fibromyalgia. I am an RN, Health Coach, and a Pro Figure Bodybuilder; and I continue to suffer from Fibro symptoms, pain, fatigue, and insomnia. My diet has always been a Low Carb (50-100g/day, depending on activity) Mediterranean diet, Gluten, Dairy, and Sugar Free. I also have a long list of food allergies which enforces me to stay compliant to my diet. Furthermore, my Hemoglobin A1C & FBS are consistently low. I don’t take any meds, besides OTC ibuprofen and 1/2 Benadryl periodically to sleep. I workout 5-6 days a week, depending on how I feel. At this point, I have been my own Healthcare Advocate and doing my own research on various Holistic methods of treatment because my test results indicate I am “normal”. My treatments consist of massage therapy, yoga, stretching, and meditation. Lastly, I do believe a Low Carb diet helps me to feel better, but not %100.

Everyone with Fibromyalgia has different symptoms and complexities within their health. So there is no one size fits all. As I mentioned, I don’t take meds because I believe healing can come from various natural resources such as food, water, diet, herbs, and exercise. On the other hand, what works for me, may not work for someone else. But whatever method of treatment is utilized to relieve the pain and fatigue of Fibro, I am happy to know there is hope for someone. Blessings💜

Before changing my diet, l could only fall asleep from exhaustion, in the morning when the pain woke me up, l had many mornings where l cried because l didn't die in my sleep. The pain was horrific, fatigue was crippling, burning skin, and limbs felt like they were cement and my feet where bricks. Thank God for Drs like Ken Berry & Berg who are spreading truth.

Hi thank you for this. I was poisoned but organophosphate sheep dip and became very ill at the age of 18. I’m 45 now and only got a diagnosis of fybro 6 years ago, before that I was handled as a idiot with mental health problems. I know more about ops than any doctor in the uk and the effects on animals and humans. To me the trigger of fybro, and all other similar illnesses is chemically induced buy chemicals that should not be entertaining the food chain or through any other substance used but humans. At the end of the day it was designed and is a nerve agent developed to kill. Wish I was a Russian spy purposely targeted as I’d get help. It’s a mad dishonest world driven by money giants.

Crazy eh? I agree that the root cause of fibro is toxicity in the body. We are so unaware of how much we eat/breath/absorb that we are not supposed to.

@@KenDBerryMD How does Metformin cause dependence ? It can be used off-label with LADA; and even with a nearly Carnivore diet, with very small amounts of not starchy vegetables, my insulin requirements are still higher than others eating a similar diet. This is the first time I’ve heard it causes dependence. All I’ve heard is that Metformin can cause a B12 deficiency and maybe folate deficiency.

Last May I felt so ill and seemed to have all the symptoms of fibromyalgia. These had progressed, getting worse for months. Whether this was the case at the time or not I can only speculate, but every part of my body seemed to hurt, I only had to sit down and I would fall asleep whatever time of day and I felt like I had lost the ability to reason or remember anything. I was unable to get a doctors appointment due to the Covid outbreak and turned to KZitem for answers. Luckily for me I found you, Sten Eckberg and Rob Cywes. After only a few days of being low carb the change was amazing. The pain had pretty much gone, my mental clarity was back and once I got up in the morning I never even thought about wanting to sleep. Thank you for getting the message out there. You really do change peoples lives for the better.

Years ago (in my 20's) I had corrected my diet because I am a person with hypoglycemia. I learned to eat a low carb diet. It didn't fix the fibromyalgia and I lived with the chronic fatigue and pain level of 5 to 7 daily but determined enough to continue my goals. I continued on despite bouts of depression. I am the "Queen of Compensation ". My problem, it turned out was loss of magnesium. I have a rare B12 , mineral loss genetic illness (under stress I throw into my urine several minerals and the B12; still a mystery as to why). When a RNNP who specializes gut minerals met me in 2012 and did a history on me she determined what minerals was severely depleted. I had a goiter (determined by ultrasound) not seen because it grew into my throat space. This was how low the iodine was. She did extensive testing on several minerals. Magnesium was low but iodine was nearly non existent. There are several other minerals low but these two were the worst. Recommended various chelated forms of magnesium. That was life changing. My pain levels were 1 to 3. Since 4 yo I never felt better. Unfortunately, I had acquired several head injuries (the last being bacterial meningitis with 2 strokes) and this is the cause of Organic Brain syndrome. OBS causes chronic fatigue too. So diet & mineral regulation does not fix chronic sleepy. But I now know increase pain is decreased minerals and they are replaceable. No pain meds necessary.

I also found out myself, by research and symptom relief, that I need magnesium, among many other minerals and vitamins. It's my own self diagnosis that I do not absorb properly and need to ingest extra to get enough. But I also have long-standing Lyme, or post Lyme syndrome, who knows. Anyway, my pain doesn't get better from supplements, but many of my other symptoms are relieved.

"proper human diet" - recommending dead, inflammatory animals, and saying no to fruit, which is THE main food for humans. However, happy that you mentioned insulin resistance, which of course is a contributing factor, for some. But things aren't just that materialistic, Ken. There are energetics, trauma, and things beyond your/most people's comprehension involved in fibro and other "chronic" illnesses.

This is Mary on Richard's phone in Florida. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1980 and was told that it was due to unrelenting stress and also possibly because my mother also was juvenile diabetic and had rheumatoid arthritis very badly. I saw a couple who are chiropractors who did allergy testing on me and sensitivity using the muscle testing procedure I eliminated all the foods I was sensitive to as well as they told me to go low carb I was doing fabulous until my husband took ill and I started hitting the ice cream tub and it triggered everything I finally licked that addition and I started out with intermittent fasting and have lost 65 lb also not going out and eating out three times a day with my husband helped tremendously so right after he passed away in 2017 I quit eating processed food and intermittent fasting now the pounds are coming off I've gone from 213 to now 147. I have tried keto a full few times and I keep getting sick and it's not keto flu my sodium level drops even though I am in taking at every opportunity I was just diagnosed with hashimoto's so I'm about to begin that war.

If you get the benefits you're after with low processed food (which will be much lower carb than a standard diet) and then intermittent fasting then that's great, there is no need to go keto if that makes things difficult for you. It's about getting the best outcome for you. Good look sorting your hashimoto's.

Hashimoto's causes low sodium. In fact it's the low sodium that can kill you if Hashimoto's is not treated. My mother died from hypothyroid hyponatremia coma. Once you're treated try keto or carnivore again. Make sure your doctor also monitors free T3 not just TSH.

Thanks for sharing the research. As of last week, I'm off my fibromyalgia meds. I realized I'd been on them for years and all they were treating was the pain. I started to wonder why I was on medication if it wasn't treating the problem, just the symptom. I'd had such good results with Ketovore in regard to my RA that I felt ready to make the jump. So far, so good!

Thankyou sir. I’m from the U.K. and I suffer from fibromyalgia. It all started with a spinal incident which led to me getting acute lumbar spondylosis and degenerative disc disease. I’ve been on morphine and fentanyl 112mg and have been on thyroxine, sertraline for depression. I have constant brain fog, plus my weight has gone through the roof and I have a constant need to eat sugary foods and carbs. Then the pain started getting worse, my knees were hurting, now diagnosed with arthritis and need a total knee replacement, but in April this year the orthopaedic surgeon said I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. This was a first discovery for me. When you mentioned insomnia, tiredness depression etc. I thought wow these are 90% of my symptoms. By watching your vlog and reading this article I am going to see my GP, plus I’m going to do a macro managed diet where my carbs will be 35%, my proteins 45% & my fats at 20%. I am hoping my doing this that my fibromyalgia will dissipate, the weight come off, the stomach pains go away and my ability to sleep at night will return. Plus my HB1aC numbers go down, along with my pre diabetes results. Once again thanks. I found the article fascinating and I agree, this looks like big pharma seeing their dollar bill profits depleting. No company should have this power. It’s frightening that so many politicians have taken backhanders from big businesses to sway decisions in their favour rather than in the favour of the people, who actually vote them in. Your political system in the USA is scary at times. Wish me luck 🍀

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!! 👌👌 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia many years ago and it was so bad that I was on very heavy medication to control symptoms. Well I also had other symptoms that the doctor just scratched his head and I went to see another doctor, one just like you.... More educated in the field of health rather than just writing a prescription👍. He said he wanted me to do a candida cleanse for 30 days, NOT eating carbs or sugar. I did just that and OMG can I just tell you the whole world opened up to me. My fibromyalgia totally disappeared as well as depression, anxiety, and a whole host of other symptoms. I no longer needed any kind of medication and no longer had pain. So yes! Them blood sugars will mess you up good. Naturally I didn't stay on that diet forever and with much regret. However, I go back to it often and now I'm just doing carnivore. That being said I've never needed hardcore pain meds since that diet. I keep things in check and take loads of oregano because that seriously keeps fibromyalgia in check and has for me for many years. Love your videos👍😊
