This blog post is truly more my opinion than anything. I was looking to write a post on fibromyalgia because I try to post something about it every week for my readers. This week, I came across some articles about Intravenous Vitamin Drips for various conditions, and the latest one is fibromyalgia.
This form treatment has been around for some time, largely a Hollywood fad. The celebrities are all about it, claiming it helps to rejuvenate. Apparently these infusions are customized to the individual and they are said to provide immediate relief because the nutrients can reach their targets instantly. Some websites are beginning to promote this idea as a treatment for fibromyalgia...and that is why I am writing about it today.
A recent story in the Huffington Post tells one such story. Actor Ryan Phillipe and his girlfriend Paulina Slagter apparently use this treatment. Apparently this treatment makes up for the fact that they don't eat right because they're always busy and don't take time to make the effort to do so. I would liken the idea of using these drips as replacement for healthy lifestyle choices is akin to Michael Jackson's use of the anesthetic drug propofol as a substitute for sleep. We all know what happened to that experiment.
For that reason, until further notice, I do not encourage anyone to try this therapy for fibromyalgia. There may come a time when that opinion changes, but until then...healthy lifestyle changes are the rule!
