Thinking Outside the Box

Yet another person who knows, cares and wants to help with the effort to find relief and a cure for fibromyalgia has contacted me through this site.

The Pacific Northwest Foundation (PNF) whose current mission is to "research, analyze, publish and develop materials addressing the capacity of complementary healthcare to effectively alleviate physical and emotional maladies."

Fibromyalgia is both a physical and an emotional malady. The Pacific Northwest Foundation is researching complementary healthcare options to help those with fibro. You can research PNF yourself at http://pnf.org/html/home.html.

A particularly sobering video produced by PNF - a case study of a 54-year old woman with fibromyalgia - can be found at http://pnf.org/html/fibromyalgia.html.

I feel compelled to add the following disclaimer: The video is about a severe case of someone with fibromyalgia and other health conditions who lived with fibro before the awareness of today about this condition. In spite of a lifelong and painful fight for medical health, in the end this is a success story for the woman as a result of complementary healthcare researched through PNF.

The video is rather clinical for most of us, with a lot of detailed information. If it's just too much, fast forward toward the end. It's a remarkable story of the cure of conditions that are often considered untreatable...in a short period of time.

The sharing of the video and site is not an endorsement of the methodologies recommended or used by PNF, but it is most definitely thought-provoking if not totally compelling information for all of us to learn from.

Thank you to PNF and all other organizations who are thinking outside the box in their efforts to work toward our common goal - a day where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.

With all of us working at it, from all directions, we CAN do it...
