Today before we wrap up our series on fibromyalgia, we will delve into the connections between autoimmune responses and fibromyalgia. We will further elaborate on how this may connected to the novel finding of small fiber peripheral neuropathy in fibromyalgia patients.

Today we will discussing fibromyalgia and autoimmune thyroid disease.  Though many with fibro are tested for thyroid function and told they are "normal," this is commonly in reference to 1-3 tests of thyroid function. New research is demonstrating that as more thorough thyroid panel needs to be performed in fibromyalgia sufferers especially with tests of autoimmunity to the thyroid.

Today we will be discussing two things every fibromyalgia patient and doctor treating fibromyalgia patients should be aware of.  They are small fiber peripheral neuropathy and nocioceptor dysfunction.  In today's broadcast we will not only explain what these issues are, but also discuss the current scientific literature demonstrating these peripheral nerve and receptor issues to be present in a significant percentage of fibromyalgia sufferers.  We will also illustrate what this research means to you as the fibro patient and how novel therapies in the future addressing small fiber neuropathy and nocioceptors may improve fibromyalgia patient outcomes. n.

Today we will be discussing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Even as recently as two to three years ago this was a novel diagnostic entity in the world of gastroenterology.  At that time there was still considerable skepticism surrounding the concept of SIBO.  However, in the past three years SIBO as a diagnosis has gained traction, yet for those practitioners and patients involved with managing SIBO realize how persistent this condition can be.

In today's broadcast we will illuminate on how many cases of SIBO reoccur after appropriate antimicrobial and dietary interventions, and why the focus for those involved with refractory SIBO needs to be shifted to the brain, as this area of the body has tremendous control over gastrointestinal motility and sphincter tone.

Today we will be discussing a growing trend in our observation: individuals frustrated with mainstream approaches, tired of costly monthly prescriptions, seeking a more "natural approach." However, frequently we have seen the same patients become disillusioned in the alternative world as they see the same paradigm but with different tools, i.e. supplements instead of medications. In today's broadcast we will specifically comment on why a supplement for every ill is a failed model, and propose the paradigm we have seen the most success with.
