There are many "natural" things around that can be either beneficial or harmful - depending on who is using them, what they are being used for, how they are being used, and quantity of use.
Dairy products, orange juice, wine, etc etc etc.
Almost anything can be beneficial or harmful, depending - - - -

However after her 18 month experiment was complete she started drnking the honey and apple cider vinegar mixture. Granny was amazed within 2 weeks the pain was less and she had more energy. I really suggest to try it. I am sure you have what you need right in your kitchen. You have nothing to lose except the pain and fatigue the fibromyalgia is causing you.
I believe any time you can use something natural, as opposed to a man made chemical mix, you are better off, but I wouldn't make drastic changes to your diet, without talking to your doctor.
I ended up in e.r. after second capsule of a health food store product.
Plant Enzymes. (nearly did me in...not allergic reaction...was headed for a stroke, and I have excellent blood pressure).
