CRMO – Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue and organs resulting in inflammation of the bone. CRMO can cause severe bone pain.
CRMO Symptoms
- Bone Pain
- Hyperostosis
- Osteomyelitis
- Fatigue
- Arthritis

MEDICATIONS
Treatment for Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis
The following medications listed are said to “stall progression” and help manage symptoms: NSAIDs like Naproxen, Meloxicam, or IndomethacinBiologics like Entanercept, Adalimumab,Infliximab, or AnakinraBisphosphonates like Pamidronate and Zoledronic Acid
Natural Treatment for Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis
BioEnergetics Balancing: Using energy to balance the cells of the body, re-establishing homeostasis. Disease, specially autoimmune disease indicates an imbalance and malfunction of the bodies systems, as seen here with the example of an imbalance that is affecting the bones. Balancing can be incredibly beneficial specifically for autoimmune conditions.
Natural Antiseptics: to combat any organism that may be causing infection and leading to pain in bones.
- Manuka honey
- Tea tree
- Olive leaf extract
- Raw garlic
- Echinacea
- Goldenseal
- Neem
- Pau d’arco
- Oil of oregano
Rife Machine: Using electromagnetic frequencies to target and kill specific microorganisms, reduce inflammation and pain and promote nutrient absorption, bone rebuilding etc.
Detoxification: toxicity plays a huge role in disease… toxins can overwhelm and confuse the body, strip the body of needed nutrients and affect the organs and tissues leading to malfunction. Detoxification is an important part of helping the body heal.
Nutritional Therapy: vitamin D, levels of minerals, and acidity of the body all play a huge role in maintaining bone structure and bone health.
EX. if the bodies tissues are in a chronic acidic state (from a diet high in acidic foods such as meat, processed or refined foods, fast foods etc.) the minerals will be shunted away from bone and used instead to neutralize the acidic terrain.
Seeing a nutritionist who can make sure you have the proper levels of vitamins and nutrients that you need for proper bone health could be beneficial.
Alkalinize The Diet By Eliminating/ Reducing These Acid Forming Foods:
- Alcohol
- Coffee
- Eggs
- Meat
- Oils
- Sugars
- Whole grains
- Flour
- Fish
- Radical Fats
Nutrients for bone health:
- Calcium
- Vitamin D
- Glutamine for bone healing
- Vitamin A
- Minerals (Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese)
- B vitamins
- Vitamin K
- Vitamin C (stimulates collagen matrix formation)
Exercise: The flow of calcium into the bones relies on movement itself. When the heal of the foot hits the ground while walking vibrations travel the length of the leg bone which creates an electrical charge that keeps the bone crystals together and also attracts calcium from the blood to be deposited onto the bone. Bone health relies of exercise.
