  • When you have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia as I have and you are on several pain relievers that don't seem to work well anything is worth a try. I like the idea of natural herb remedies for the fact the side effects are cut down to a min. compared to prescription drugs and over the counter drugs.

  • This article is poorly written with questionable syntax & multiple grammar & spelling errors. Bell peppers are not an herb. Blueberries are not an herb. Bromelain is not an herb. This is a very unprofessional piece & you should do better. You also forgot to mention turmeric--also not an herb, but a spice--with potent anti-inflammatory actions, similar to NSAID's
