Author Reveals the Ten Root Causes of Chronic Illness
How do we reclaim our health after being diagnosed with a chronic disease like fibromyalgia? Author Sue Ingebretson releases a book that provides practical resources for rebuilding wellness.

STAUNTON, VA, October 26, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Nearly 1 in 2 Americans (i.e. 133 million) develop a chronic illness.* What are the causes of this phenomenon? Contributing co-factors, literally "a perfect storm" scenario combine to compromise our health. A few of the "Ten Root Causes" include: genetic predisposition, physical or emotional trauma, internal or external toxins, and even hormone imbalance. When we are suffering we clamor for do-able, action-able hints and ideas about how to improve our own health. We may have a general idea that eating better and exercising can help us to feel better, however we may not realize the transformational power of rebuilding the body from the inside out. Where do we begin to reclaim our health?

Susan Ingebretson, in FibroWHYalgia, offers a complete tool-box for rebuilding wellness for the body-mind-spirit. Ingebretson imparts her own successful journey to wellness as inspiration. She serves as a navigator for individuals who need tools to find their way back to better health. Included in the book are sections on eating for wellness, alternative therapies, and how to use exercise to go "from sick and tired, to fit and inspired." "FibroWHYalgia is like having an intimate conversation with a friend who has been through battle and is now sharing tools and tips from the trenches," says one fan. Physician and health activist Dr. Joseph Mercola refers to the book as "a practical resource guide."

Committed to helping others afflicted with chronic illness, Ingebretson is a respected educator. She is an Holistic Health Counselor and director of program development for the Fibromyalgia Research and Education Center at California State University, Fullerton. Ingebretson has collaborated in community educational projects, local support groups and the National Fibromyalgia Association (NFA). Ingebretson will soon release the Second Edition of FibroWHYalgia, and two workbooks FibroWHYalgia: The Workbook, and The Genesis Approach. Ingebretson's writing has appeared in FibromyalgiaAWARE, Fibromyalgia Alternative News and she was featured in the March 2011 issue of FIRST for Women.
