Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not a disease. It is a name given to a group of symptoms. It is a condition that has become so common. The diagnosis of "CFS" does not tell a patient what the underlying problem is and does not give any indication as to what the solution is. One thing you can be sure of, it is NOT 'all in your head' unless you have toxicity in your brain....

There are many factors that can contribute to CFS some of which are listed below:

Heavy Metal Toxicity
Borrelia Infection (Lyme Disease)
Bartonella Infection (A common co-infection of Lyme Disease)
Human Herpes Virus 6
XMRV
Epstein-Barr Virus
Candida (Yeast infection)
Hormonal Deficiencies (ie: Hypothyroidism)
Vitamin/Mineral deficiencies (ie: Low iron)
Metabolic deficiencies
Toxicity (a variety of toxins can contribute ie:pesticides/fungicides)
Mold Toxicity/Exposure

If you have been diagnosed with "CFS", I encourage you to seek out the cause of the debilitating symptoms so that you can be proactive in getting well.

CFS patients usually have an impaired immune system and have difficulty detoxifying so it is important to have a pure (organic) diet in order to avoid environmental toxins like pesticides/herbicides, and to boost your immune system however possible with the guidance of a naturopath. It is also important to eliminate mold as well as chemicals from your environment such as perfumes and other scented body products and household cleaning products.

It is also beneficial to detoxify.

Detox otpions:

Epsom Salts Baths
Perque C Calibration (Vitamin C Flush)
Far Infrared Sauna
Chelation Therapy

The following book is just a little help as you get started:
