People can sometimes start to relapse after months of being off the WT3/FibroCare protocol, or they might have mild flare-ups from time to time. Nevertheless, chronic muscle (fibro) pain can usually be corrected to the point that it doesn't come right back once the protocol has been discontinued. And the complaints can usually be cleared up again easily with a couple of follow-up bottles of WTSmed Supplements (like Healthy Foundation, ThyroCare, and/or FibroCare).

FibroCare can also be helpful in chronic joint discomfort, nerve pain, migraine, insomnia, depressed mood, anxious mood, uterine spasms, PMS and menopause.*

FibroCare Alone
Quite a few people with full-blown chronic muscle (fibro) pain get a lot of improvement with FibroCare alone, though some will say they don't feel any improvement. It's hard to predict who will notice an improvement. People that do notice an improvement usually begin to notice it within the first week. Some people (particularly those with normal body temperatures) with achiness and fatigue are able to feel completely normal with just the FibroCare alone.*

WT3 Protocol Alone
It appears that a lot of people with severe chronic muscle (fibro) pain really have a metabolic problem, and low body temperatures. The metabolic problem is better addressed with Wilson's T3 (WT3) protocol than it is with FibroCare. The WT3 protocol can often correct chronic muscle (fibro) pain on its own, but sometimes patients still complain of some muscle aches. FibroCare can then be added. It can really be the finishing touches to get them all the way back to normal.*

WT3 Protocol and FibroCare Combined
Almost everyone with low temperatures and full-blown chronic muscle (fibro) pain (muscle aches, headaches, migraines, insomnia) will recover completely when managed with the WT3 protocol and FibroCare in combination (FibroCare is helpful with migraines as well as muscle aches).

For full-blown chronic muscle (fibro) pain, WT3 can be considered the main protocol, and FibroCare the additional protocol. But in combination the results can be really amazing. For example, people who have been going to rheumatologists for years and have been taking one drug for sleep, one pill for migraines, and other drugs for other complaints, have been able to get completely back to normal and off all drugs.

Thus, FibroCare works for some, WT3 works for some, the combination of WT3 and FibroCare appears to work for virtually all. The decision of which to try first may depend mostly on time and money issues. Trying FiboCare or WT3 alone might cost less and be more convenient but taking them together would cover more bases and maximize the chances of getting better as soon as possible.

Managing full-blown chronic muscle (fibro) discomfort with both the WT3 protocol and FibroCare usually takes about six months, in general. A lot of people will be a lot better within two or three months. But it wouldn't be unusual for it to take five or six months before they are complaint-free.*

Recommended Dose
FibroCare, 1 capsule 3 times a day.*

Contraindications
Not recommended during pregnancy.*

Side Effects
If people take much more than the recommeded dose they could possibly experience low blood pressure. Other than that there are no known side effects or drug interactions.*

Sometimes A Little Worse Before Better
As with other examples of Restorative Medicine, FibroCare can sometimes result in muscle aches getting a little worse while they're getting better. Since FibroCare is not suppressing the complaints but is actually aimed at restoring function, there can sometimes be small setbacks on the road to recovery. These setbacks normally last only a day or two, if they occur.

For example, If a chef started cooking all our meals for us, we wouldn't expect any more bad meals. On the other hand, if we were learning to cook for ourselves, it wouldn't be surprising for us to make a few bad meals here and there, as our abilities continued to improve. Likewise, as the body recovers to the point of being able to function well on its own again, it's not surprising for it to have a bad day occasionally, as it continues to get better.*

How to use FibroCare
Below are a variety of examples of how FibroCare is used in various circumstances.*

FibroCare Maintenance Recommendations After Long-term Chronic Muscle (Fibro) pain
It seems that the longer people have had chronic muscle (fibro) pain the easier it is for the complaints to come back after the protocol has been stopped. If people have been ill for decades, we recommend that they take a bottle of FibroCare every three or four months after the protocol has been discontinued.*

Sciatic Nerve Discomfort
Sciatic Nerve Discomfort is pain along the sciatic nerve that radiates to the buttocks and to the back of the thigh. FibroCare is a relaxant and can help with nervous tissue. A few patients that have taken FibroCare were quite pleasantly surprised that their sciatic nerve discomfort went completely away. Some people with sciatic nerve discomfort are helped with FibroCare and some don't seem to benefit at all, it appears to depend on how bad it is. The dosage for Sciatic Nerve Discomfort is 2 capsules five times a day.*

Headaches
One capsule three times a day. If temperature is low consider WT3 protocol.*

Maximum Program
For maximum support, FibroCare can be combined with Healthy Foundation and the WT3 protocol for the management of Chronic Muscle (Fibro) pain.*

Detailed Description
FibroCare combines the best herbs for relief of pain and spasm with the proven aids in Chronic Muscle (Fibro) pain care, magnesium and malic acid. The wise physician may soon find that this same program benefits people suffering from any number of musculo-skeletal discomforts, including joint degeneration, sciatic nerve pain and other types of nerve related pain. This versatile product has also been of use in the mitigation of migraines. The Journal of Nutritional Medicine published a study demonstrating the efficacy of combined magnesium and malic acid therapy in decreasing tender point pain in the management of chronic muscle pain (Bland 1995). The authors theorized that the unanimous success of the combination can be ascribed to a decrease in muscle lactic acid due to increased energy production. Jamaican Dogwood (Piscidea erythrina) is used to alleviate many types of pain, including nerve and muscle pain and spasm. Additionally, its mild sedative properties promote better sleep, a key in the reduction of chronic muscle pain (Greive 1998). Boneset (Eupatorium perfolatum) has been shown to possess immune stimulating properties (Foster and Duke 1990) in addition to its traditional use as a tonic for the alleviation of rheumatic and muscular pain. The wonderfully versatile herb Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) has not only anti-rheumatic and anti-spasmodic properties, but is also of use in helping depressed mood, anxious mood and weepiness, often concomitants in the complaints of those with chronic muscle (fibro) pain. It has hormone balancing properties which make it of use in the management of PMS and menopause (Sherman 1993).*
