Fibromyalgia is a complex but very real condition. Each persons pattern of the illness appears to have different facets and features which need to be dealt with on a very individual basis. Therefore the treatment program is tailored to meet your individual needs.

To understand the core of the program is to understand that human beings are much more than "bricks and mortar". We are much more than cells and structure. In essence we are highly tuned resonating systems of energy and information flow, the intricacy of which is almost beyond perception. While we pay little attention to a system which functions well, we are enormously aware and compromised by a system which functions badly. Subtle malfunctions over time can hijack a life and totally disrupt its quality. Nothing may show on standard testing but the disruption to your life is tremendously real. Central to the programme is the intention to understand and work with reality. Many sufferers feel that their symptoms are so bizarre that they cannot even articulate the nature of their sensations to their doctor. Within the program Dr Downes seeks to find the cause and nature of as many of these symptoms as possible.

The treatment programme operates at many different levels and dimensions of the person. Amongst the issues covered are:

• pH balancing
• Upregulation of cellular energy
• Tissue and lymphatic detoxification
• Optimizing electrical and energetic flow in the body
• Supporting vital organ and hormonal function
• Supportive nutrition
• Identifying food intolerance and stressors
• Modifying the effects of environmental stressors
• Optimizing immune function
• Supporting autonomic balance
• Biofield stabilization
• Emotional support

The duration of treatment varies but most individuals need considerable time and effort. Unfortunately some people's systems appear to be enormously blocked and difficult to access, so not everyone is successful. However the treatment program is being constantly modified and developed with the intent of finding solutions to these difficult cases. All Dr. Downes can ardently recommend is that the sooner treatment is embarked on the less complicated the clinical situation tends to be.
