Hello, today I want to talk about this in our holistic healing series. It is known among the public as soft tissue rheumatism, muscle rheumatism. And it seems to be quite common. In our society, three out of one hundred people have fibromyalgia. Millions of people experience this problem. And unfortunately it is seen ten times more in women. Fibromyalgia is widespread muscle pains, there are defined eighteen trigger points. When eleven of these are seen, the diagnosis is made; in recent years, the presence of widespread pain is in the foreground, and the presence of chronic fatigue, the presence of weakness, sleep disorders, headaches, and the presence of stomach and intestinal complaints are also very, very important in the diagnosis. The cause is not exactly known. It is said that there are genetic factors underneath. Also environmental factors are very important. Stress is a very important factor. Especially, what I observe is that these people have an anxious, perfectionist personality structure. There is a condition that is mostly triggered by stress. It can be a loss, it can be a death. With its triggering, the pains start and can increase a lot. It can greatly disrupt the person’s quality of life. Think about their communication with themselves and with their environment; it is obvious that a person who has pain all day will have their attention distracted, will experience sleep problems, and their communication with their environment will deteriorate. These people can also have stomach and intestinal problems. Bloating, gas, maybe sometimes constipation, sometimes diarrhea, in some there can be thyroid problems. There can be headaches. There can be tension-type headaches; all of these, as I mentioned, are actually a condition where many symptoms intertwine like a chronic syndrome. Generally, people apply to physical therapy specialists, rheumatologists. Sometimes psychiatrists also intervene in this. Patients are usually referred to us from psychiatrists, rheumatologists for psychotherapy and hypnotherapy related to their stresses, anxious, worried, depressive personality structures in terms of holistic healing. Here, the most important part, I think, is this part: the situations created by the person’s personality structure; there are also medication treatments. And there are non-medication treatments. The practices I will talk about can be added to medication treatments. With psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, together with other treatment methods, after a while, medication use can also disappear. I apply cognitive behavioral psychotherapy methods, a technique I call psychopirapy that I integrate with hypnotherapy. In these people, movement, doing sports, sleeping well, and having good intestinal health are very, very important. These people know they need to do sports, but generally they cannot do it. They do not have a good sleep routine. In these people, with hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, we can help a lot by gaining a new behavior, a new perspective, if there are wrong thoughts in the background cognitively, if there are cognitive distortions, arranging them, and if there are unconscious problems with hypnotherapy, correcting them, gaining the habit of doing sports, and providing deeper, good sleep with techniques. Also, with what we call magnetic field therapy, magnetic frequencies, we can work on pain with resonance. We can cut that pain. If these people also have problems related to the stomach and intestinal system, which generally, in my observation, there are complaints of gas, bloating, constipation. In the background of this, there may be some foods that touch them. There may be food intolerances. Some people use too much stomach acid-destroying, presented in the market under the name stomach protector, but because it completely zeroes the acid in the stomach it causes serious problems, causes digestive problems, and also we do not want the bacteria, viruses and other substances in foods to pass directly to the small intestine and reproduce there. By causing these situations and disrupting intestinal permeability, an inflammation, an inflammatory process created in the whole body by bad bacteria in the intestine passing into the blood, or this problem can increase a lot. We can solve this with a holistic perspective. When we integrate it with both psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, some nutritional supplements, antioxidants, enzymes that will provide natural digestion, herbal supports that will remove inflammation, what we call anti-inflammatory, and by sleeping well, by enabling them to do sports, with therapy techniques that will remove the stresses in the background, very good results can be obtained. I wish everyone painless, healthy, peaceful days.
