Is it possible for fibromyalgia to be healed holistically?

I believe so: If by holistic you mean integrating the body, mind and spirit to overcome fibromyalgia then the answer is a wholehearted yes.

Possibly: Anything that reduces stress or the effect of stress or that produces deep (dreaming) sleep may help.

Nutrition: Absolutely, there are many "holistic" or alternative treatments for fibromyalgia. Acupuncture is proven by research to improve fibromyalgia symptoms and specific dietary modification can also be helpful in lowering inflammation that can increase symptoms. Autoimmune disorders, candida, and hormone imbalance are also thought to be contributing factors that when manage can alleviate the condition.

Yes.: Functional medicine can bring you back to wellness. I would look at your GI tract and check your stool for bad bacteria , leaky gut syndrome and food sensitivities. There are several other tests i would do also.
