I am writing to you from the Pacific Northwest Foundation about a case study that may be of interest to your research into fibromyalgia. While this was not a study undertaken by the Foundation, it was a case with which we have had access to in virtually every detail. This includes the chart notes (with the patient’s approval) as well as the observations and insights of the patient’s health care provider.

The case involves an adult female who had been disabled for eight years with diagnosed fibromyalgia. Within four months of treatment, she was able to backpack, regularly work a full day and have little or no pain.

As with all our studies, it is our hope to stimulate additional efforts to determine if these results were an aberration or have wider implications. To this end, we wanted to make you aware of the cast study (which can be found online at http://pnf.org/html/fibromyalgia.html), in the hope that it might prove useful as a starting point for research within your organization.

Thanks and kind regards,

Frank Cook

The amt of med required was high and subsequent side effects were remarkable, but apparently decreased over time. I did not pursue the matter further as I felt it to be junk science. However, it is still around after all this time!

I did thoroughly enjoy the above article on Myth Busting and did read further into the newsletter. The other 2 articles IMO were “my way or the highway” in nature. But to each his own. I’m kinda picky.

Your blog on the other hand leaves room for thought, gives relevant resources, and I love it. <3 My fave.

The article above is not about him though. It is a good explanation on the benefits of exercise written by an associate of his.
