I know many of you suffer from Fibromyalgia and/or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  I was reading literature in my doctor's office on various medical studies and they all rave about this breakthrough.  Doing research on the web, I found this for all of you.  I pray it works as well as all the glowing testimonials and research shows.

I bought a Medical Formulation jar of this from my internist today - will update you.  It is in powder form and I can either sprinkle it on my oatmeal or mix it in a drink.  More great news, a combination of very powerful distance healing and watching my Motivation Movie for Health Manifestation (YUP, my body is listening).  Today my blood pressure was perfect - not high, not low.  My cholesterol levels were excellent where the bad cholesterol was sky high and the good cholesterol was super low the last week in February.

Can a simple sugar provide relief for the millions of patients afflicted with the diagnosis of fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue?

That's what Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, and Valen Labs wanted to determine with an open label, 41-patient feasibility study, the results of which are now being released.

The study had two endpoints: assessing the level of relief in symptoms of fatigue and pain; and determining changes in patient quality of life.

The patients in the study had an average age of 48 years and were 78-percent female, which is in keeping with the general population as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome affect twice as many women as men and typically first appears at middle age.

At the start of the study the patients completed a 10-point quality of life visual analog scale and then took five grams of CORvalenTM D-ribose orally, three times a day, for an average of 28 days.

After the 28-day treatment period the QOL questionnaire was repeated, and 69-percent of the 36 patients who completed the course of CORvalenTM treatment had significant improvement in their symptoms. They also averaged a 25-percent improvement in the QOL scale.

"What this did was verify what we already knew about the impact of ribose on energy recovery in muscles generally," says Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, Medical Director of the Center for Effective CFS/Fibromyalgia Therapies in Annapolis, Maryland. "But specifically we determined the energy building benefit of ribose directly improved the debilitating symptoms of these conditions. I think this study, and follow on studies now in development, will make ribose one of the most important new nutrients studies in the next few years."

Any bit of good news on the relief front - from ribose or otherwise - will certainly be welcome by the over two million Americans who suffer from widespread pain, sleep disturbances, fatigue, reduced exercise tolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, depression, headaches and other symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

"Despite the fact chronic pain syndrome with fibromyalgia-like symptoms have been described in medical literature for over 200 years, we still don't know the exact cause," states Clarence Johnson, CEO of Bioenergy and Valen Labs. "We do know however that people with fibromyalgia have lower levels of the energy molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and a reduced capacity to make ATP in their muscles. We know from previous studies ribose can fuel ATP synthesis and are gratified to see this latest piece of science showing ribose supplementation can reduce muscle pain and enhance quality of life for those suffering with fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue."

Aging, strenuous exercise or overexertion, and many metabolic or physiological conditions can drain ATP from your tissue and affect how well your body makes and uses energy. Taking Corvalen every day helps the body restore this lost energy.

CorvalenM contains pure Bioenergy RIBOSE to help your cells and tissues make the energy they need to stay healthy. It also provides magnesium and malate, vital ingredients your body needs to use energy efficiently. This unique, safe, and clinically proven combination of ingredients accelerates your body's own natural process of energy synthesis and utilization.

Each jar of Corvalen and CorvalenM contains 56 servings, enough to last four weeks when taking two servings per day.
