It has a recipe for health. The cause of FMS is still debated in medical circles. Many consider it to be a type of auto-immune system syndrome like lupus. There are similarities with Lyme Disease and many believe the two are misdiagnosed back and forth. What is generally agreed is that there is no definitive conventional therapy.
Antibiotics are usually irrelevant, according to most sources.
Anti-inflammatory drugs don't really give much relief as Moeller describes. For decades, the medical community insisted that FMS was psychogenic, or a psychosomatic syndrome. However, according to James Duke, Ph.D. and author of The Green Pharmacy, nearly every expert agrees that the first thing to be done is to try a whole food, vegetarian or near-vegetarian diet and make major adjustments in nutritional intake. Removing allergens is also important. This is very much in keeping with the program outlined in Moeller's book.
