What about Fibromyalgia, arthritis and other
so-called diseases and Advanced BioStructural Correction™?
Many people think Fibromyalgia is a mystery.
It is not. First is to understand that doctors have a habit
of naming effects they observe on bodies in Latin and then
calling the name of the observations a "disease".
It is silly because it does not note a cause of the effects
and does not lead to being able to handle or correct what
is causing the effects.
Fibromyalgia and arthritis are two good examples. Fibro-
is Latin for fibers. -myo is Latin for muscles. -algia is
Latin for pain. When someone says you have Fibromyalgia all
they are saying is that your muscle fibers are painful to
you. They might as well call it "muscle pains" in
English. The question is WHY DO YOUR MUSCLES HURT?
If you think chemically as medical docs do, it is a big mystery
(this is not to put down medicine in general the discoveries
of what antibiotics could do changed more things on Earth
than you might imagine). But not everything is chemistry.
One of the things that happen to bodies is that they get
parts stuck in positions they cannot get them out of. An example
is in the spine. If you look at the anatomy of the body (how
the body is put together), you will notice that muscles attach
to bones and pull on them. That might seem elementary but
some people have the idea that muscles can push -- they cannot.
Muscles only pull. The way you seem to push is by pulling
on a bone designed as a lever. An example is the arm. The
way you put your arm out in front of your body is to pull
on the upper arm at the shoulder (which raises it out from
your body) and then you pull on the back of your elbow (which
straightens the arm).
The reason I bring this point is up to explain how bones
in your spine (spinal bones = vertebrae -- vert-a-bray) move
out of position in a direction your body cannot correct on
its own. This is covered more completely in the article How
your body untwists through old injuries (if treated properly).
but briefly here. If you check the muscle attachments on your
vertebrae (spinal bones) you will find you have muscles that
attach from the sides of the vertebrae to the pelvis and ribs
which are more to the side of the body than the vertebrae.
This means that if a vertebra moves out of position to the
side the muscles from the other side can pull it back into
place. So a vertebra moving out of place sideways is no big
deal -- your body can self-correct that.
If you check the front of the vertebrae, you have muscles
that attach from the front of the vertebrae to something in
front of the vertebrae. They go from the vertebrae to the
front of the pelvis and from the vertebrae to the front of
the rib cage. So, if a vertebra displaces backwards it is
no big deal, your body has muscles that can pull forward and
reposition it.
If a vertebra in the spine slips out of place in the forward
direction you have no muscle or muscles that can pull it backward.
You can lean your body backward -- and have to, or you will
fall over. But, if a vertebra gets stuck forward, there is
no way your body can pull it backward to reposition it. This
is THE thing that leads to many problems in your body.
There are no muscles that pull in the direction
of the arrows shown as A.
What does happen is shown below:
This is the way the muscles attach......
.....and this is what happens when the muscles pull.
It is not that the vertebra get pulled backward it is that
they are tilted or rotated backward.
The result is your body leans backward from that point up
and has to work to keep its balance.
You will notice that even in that last picture the middle
vertebra is still stuck forward though the body is tilted
backward and stays upright. It is not well balanced with one
vertebra tilting one way and others tilting another way, but
it is upright.
