Why this matters
Learn about fibromyalgia and why several possible explanations need individual assessment.
How the pieces connect
Fibromyalgia has a history of several proposed explanations, including hormonal ones. Ask what has been measured and what other causes need consideration.
Compare the older and newer Purser models
This book emphasizes the pituitary and endocrine systems. Other Purser materials emphasize copper handling, genetics and antioxidant pathways. These are distinct explanatory models, not interchangeable diagnoses. Comparing them can help a reader see how the teaching has developed, but the presence of several models does not confirm any one for an individual. Keep a record of the actual symptoms, prior diagnoses and test findings when moving between these discussions.
Keep in mind
Fibromyalgia symptoms alone do not prove pituitary damage or adrenal insufficiency. Ask how any proposed cause would be checked.
