What was the worst fibromyalgia "cure" scam that you've come across?

Odd, I actually had some pretty good experience with acupuncture and I have to say I was a very strong skeptic going in thinking it was akin to magic.

But after my first session (with a licensed specialist though Kaiser medical) my pain was significantly lowered but never gone.

Sadly, it didn't last long enough to be an effective treatment. Sessions were typically at least a month away. At most I would get maybe 3 or 4 days of a decrease in pain with each day becoming a tad less effective. So in the end it was not an effective treatment for Fibro.

... Someone just tried to convince me that Fibromyalgia is one of the "modern diseases" caused by eating meat!...

I was apparently supposed to go on some special diet for 30 days (with 300 dollars worth of supplements) to clear my system of "toxants" caused by eating "too much animal protein" which according to them the body doesn't know how to use....
