"CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME • Behavioral Therapy Surprises Many Sufferers Though the causes of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) remain elusive, researchers recently made a surprising finding about cognitive behavioral (talk) therapy: It works as well or better than some standard treatments for CFS. A recent British study showed that over a yearlong period, CFS patients who engaged in talk therapy in order to reverse negative thinking showed higher activity levels and better sleep patterns than patients who received standard relaxation therapy or other standard medical treatment." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"On the other hand, having hyperflexible joints may be a forewarning of chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition thought to be caused by a virus and characterized by excessive fatigue, weakness, muscle pain, and sometimes fever. A higher incidence of hyperflexible joints has been seen in both young people and adults with chronic fatigue syndrome. Two potentially serious but often undiagnosed genetic conditions that are frequently associated with joint hypermobility are Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Marfan syndrome." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"While I did not work directly with any Gulf War veterans, I did start working with a number of people with environmental illness v_ w in ri\uiN i i in vj rcnr\j 101 and chronic fatigue syndrome. Some came to classes on energy balancing which Patricia and I taught; others came for individual sessions. Generally we began with the Rochlitz exercises which helped lessen sensitivities and increase energy. The focus in the individual sessions varied from doing advanced energy balancing to identifying and clearing emotional issues which hampered immune functioning. A variety of themes emerged." - Robert Sampson, M.D. & Patricia Hughes, B.S.N., Breaking Out of Environmental Illness: Essential Reading for People with chronic fatigue syndrome, Allergies, and Chemical Sensitivities (Get the book.)

"These include obesity, skin problems, chronic fatigue syndrome, immune disorders, asthma, some forms of cancer, and of course digestive diseases such as colitis. Dr. Cutler's treatment approach incorporates her profound knowledge of both conventional and natural healing. KAREN DEFELICE, MS DeFelice has a master's degree in science and has written two books, Enzymes for Autism and Other Neurological Conditions and Enzymes for Digestive Health and Nutritional Wealth." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) "Sometimes it is misdiagnosed as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or other (mainly autoimmune and neurological) diseases. Lyme disease is considered one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the United States. The first symptom of this condition is generally the appearance of a rash and a red papule on the skin a few days following a tick bite." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) "Depression may be caused by stress, nutritional deficiencies, allergies, thyroid disorders, sugar, a battle with a serious physical disorder, or chronic fatigue syndrome. Some people also become more depressed in the winter months when there is less exposure to sunlight. It is estimated that seven million Americans suffer from depression each year and more than eight million Americans take antidepressant drugs." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"For instance," Peter continued, "consider chronic fatigue syndrome and many other of those so-called 'mystery' diseases. Perhaps we will never find a single or even a host of physical mechanisms for them. Perhaps the real causes are at the level of energy and information fields. That's what we are thinking; it's what the matching tests are telling us is possible. For instance, take multiple sclerosis, or really many of the degenerative nervous-system diseases. I have found that one of the Energetic Terrains may affect the outside of the axon in the Schwann cells of the nervous system." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "The likely cause: chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). This is an uncertain diagnosis, not a clear-cut disease but more an identifiable constellation of symptoms with no known cause. It was designated a specific medical condition only in the early 1990s." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Roberts6 showed that artificial sweeteners containing aspartame, sold under various brand names, cause Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, plus a host of other disease and dysfunction symptoms. This is because the aspartic acid and phenylalanine in artificial sweeteners are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found in protein. They cross the blood brain barrier and deteriorate the neurons of the brain." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Two separate scientific studies found the rubella (German measles) vaccine, introduced in 1979, to be the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome (also called Epstein-Barr Virus). In children, the virus can stay in their systems for years and can be passed on to adults through casual contact. The pertussis (whooping cough) death rate decreased by more than 75% before the vaccine was introduced. In the U.S. in 1984, among all children between the ages of 7 months and 6 years who contracted pertussis, 46% had been vaccinated against the disease." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Pauling concentrated on the effect of large doses of Vitamin C on the cold virus, but investigations have revealed that people receiving 100-200 mg Vitamin C per day show a decrease in the incidence of other conditions, for example, asthma, glandular fever, laryngitis and chronic fatigue syndrome. In Nigeria, where asthmatic symptoms have been shown to be worse during the wet season, a trial was carried out using Vitamin C. The asthmatics were divided into two groups, and 1000 mg (1 g) of Vitamin C was given daily to one group of asthmatics and a placebo to the control group." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"CFU Cellulase blend 500 CU OPTIMAL ENERGY AND ENDOCRINE SUPPORT Individuals with hormonal imbalances such as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia need extra support to maintain optimum levels of health. Optimizing the endocrine levels in the body can have the benefits of improving memory and concentration, rejuvenating the immune system, increasing overall energy, and feeding and fortifying the hypothalamus. This may also prove beneficial for individuals experiencing fatigue who have not been diagnosed with the above issues." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Stress is a huge emotional burden, so it is no surprise to find that many common stress-based disorders such as PMT, eczema, acne, psoriasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, digestive disturbances, insomnia, sinusitis, headaches, muscular aches and pains respond well to aromatherapy. Stress is also a trigger for asthma, so aromatherapy can play a part in its treatment too. The antifungal and antibacterial properties of essential oils also supply the asthmatic with protection against airborne viruses and bacteria." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Used to treat a variety of ailments including chronic fatigue syndrome, high blood pressure, hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, high cholesterol, constipation, and HIV and AIDS, maitake contains all of the essential amino acids and is an adaptogen, a substance that helps the body adapt to physical and emotional stress." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Diseases usually confused with Celiac are irritable bowel syndrome, anemia, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis and chronic fatigue syndrome. It can be difficult to diagnose accurately. However, celiac sufferers have a higher then normal level of auto-antibodies in their blood. Auto-antibodies are protein molecules that react against the body's own tissues or cells. For a diagnosis of celiac, your medical doctor can test the blood for levels of Immunoglobulin A (IgA), anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTGA) and IgA anti-endomysium antibodies (AEA)." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Diagnostic banter such as Sjogren's, Raynaud's, lupus, Crohn's, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, tmj syndrome, Candida, eb virus, and many more are pressed into service. Many of these sufferers seem convinced that their condition was sudden in onset with a discrete cause rather than being the slow erosion of their coping until some critical level of reserve becomes depleted. Many generate a causal hypothesis that takes on a life of its own, an attributional ideation. Such ideas include "chemical imbalance," "virus," "stress," and "emotional confusion." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Paul Cheney is in my opinion, one of the most knowledgeable doctors regarding chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and was apparently the first to identify at least one cause of CFS, written about by Carol Sieverling, in an article posted on the "CFS and FM Support Group of DFW" website (http://www.dfwcfids.org/medical/cheney/heart04.htm), titled "The Heart of the Matter: Dr. Cheney on chronic fatigue syndrome and Cardiac Issues".

"I was finally achieving notable clinical successes against complex, chronic, intractable conditions, such as fibromyalgia, asthma, recurrent infections, and chronic fatigue syndrome. My work with modulating immunity attracted the attention of some of the doctors who were members of Defeat Autism Now, because these doctors believed that impaired immunity was a common trait among autistics. They invited me to speak at a DAN conference, and soon several parents came to me to treat their children. As these children began to show significant improvement, more parents brought their children." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"As I made notes on the symptoms of neurotoxicity, I became convinced that the symptoms that I had experienced with chronic fatigue syndrome very closely resembled symptoms of toxic chemical poisoning.^ He states that early symptoms include tiredness, episodes of anxiety, loss of memory, confusion, irritability, depression, and sometimes vomiting as well." - Suzann Marie Angelus, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A.I.D.s & Immune Dysfunction Disease : The Cause and the Cure (Get the book.) "REPPED: PART I MY TWELVE YEAR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH CFIDS First, let me say that I never thought I would be writing a book, any book, much less one on the subject of chronic fatigue syndrome. However, much has changed in my life. My life before Chronic Fatigue somehow seems so far away; it sometimes feels like a past life memory. Perhaps that is another one of the tolls this disease has exacted from me. The fact that I am able to comprehensively write and organize my thoughts is a major accomplishment in itself." - Suzann Marie Angelus, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A.I.D.s & Immune Dysfunction Disease : The Cause and the Cure (Get the book.) "THE CAUSE OF CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME: Toxic Chemicals November 12, 1990,1 was drawn to aTime magazine article concerning the beaching and eventual death of striped dolphins, victims of pneumonia and liver damage, around the Mediterranean Sea.A viral epidemic of morbilli accounted for 50 deaths in a two-week period, bringing the total to 250 within three months.This virus is similar to the cause of canine distemper and human measles that killed some 20,000 North Sea seals in 1988.The article talked about the incredible pollution of the sea as a possible cause of the problem." - Suzann Marie Angelus, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A.I.D.s & Immune Dysfunction Disease : The Cause and the Cure (Get the book.)

"She reports results for many people, including individuals with environmental illness and chronic fatigue syndrome. After discussing the article with Patricia, I decided to attend the next training, which was being held in California ten days later. We were inspired by Dr. Nambudripad's claims, and I was desperate to help Patricia. Since I already was well-versed in the Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique's essential elements of Chinese meridian theory and muscle testing, I quickly became comfortable with this method. Testing during the training confirmed my level of recovery." - Robert Sampson, M.D. & Patricia Hughes, B.S.N., Breaking Out of Environmental Illness: Essential Reading for People with chronic fatigue syndrome, Allergies, and Chemical Sensitivities (Get the book.)

"Researchers have noted that bacterial overgrowth is associated with IBS (as well as a number of other disorders such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome), and one case study published in Alternative Medicine Review suggests that the antimicrobial activity of peppermint oil might be partly responsible for its positive effect in IBS. More research is needed, but this certainly passes the common-sense test. Joe Brasco, M.D., a nutritionally minded gastroenterologist whose work I've admired for years, considers IBS "wholly a disease of diet and lifestyle." That's actually good news." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Numerous books have now been written on the subject and reflexologists believe that good results have been achieved in the treatment of common ailments such as constipation, asthma, sinus problems, stress, migraine and headaches, digestive disorders, back pain, bladder trouble, chronic fatigue syndrome and even more serious conditions like kidney and gall stones. How reflexology works is not easily explained and, like auricular acupuncture (see page 181) it is difficult to comprehend how pressure applied to the feet can have therapeutic benefits in other parts of the body." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"We are just learning that patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome have faulty metabolism of ATP, so it makes perfect sense to use D-ribose in these patients to support energy. Let me explain. People in every walk of life, whether healthy or sick, use a great deal of energy in every cell in their body every day. Many become deficient in cellular energy reserves because they exercise, are stressed in their job, or because they may be contracting or already have diseases that place undue burden on their energy metabolism." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"It had helped some patients with chronic fatigue syndrome to quickly feel much better, and it had even helped some people overcome mental and emotional problems, such as depression, anxiety, lassitude, and impaired cognitive function. These problems can be caused when toxins created by yeast metabolism enter the bloodstream and invade the brain. They can also be triggered when yeast harms the walls of the intestines, and allows partially digested food molecules to enter the system, and create cerebral allergies. If this was, indeed, happening to Kyle, it would not be an uncommon occurrence." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "In my prior success with persistent, stubborn adult diseases, such as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, I'd found that only a comprehensive program worked. Would autism, exotic as it was, really prove to be that much different? At this time, conventional wisdom said that autism was essentially genetic, and would probably yield only to a dramatic genetic intervention, which was still on the horizon. I was too curious and too concerned, though, to settle for that piece of conventional wisdom. And Kyle, Elizabeth, and Eric were too desperate." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "Chelation has been used by many doctors throughout the world to treat people with a wide variety of diseases and disorders, including Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, hardening of the arteries, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and lead poisoning. It can be of help to a broad spectrum of people who carry excessive heavy metals in their systems. Chelation has for many years been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a safe and effective therapy for lead poisoning." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"The typical progression from fatigue is to "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"—a fictitious disease. It doesn't mean that the symptoms aren't real, because obviously they are. People really do feel chronic fatigue and it is a very difficult condition to live with—but it is no genuine disease. Doctors tend to use this disease label when they can't figure out what's wrong with you. They know that patients want to be labeled with something so they just make up a name like chronic fatigue syndrome, which really means you're just tired all the time. That's not a disease. That's just an observation." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"Research shows, for instance, that D-ribose improves chronic fatigue syndrome because the condition is based on faulty ATP metabolism. CoQIO, L-carnitine, and magnesium also reduce chronic fatigue because they support ATP production. Mice fed CoQIO practically become mice that roar—more physically active and reproductively potent. We routinely recommend these mitochondria-nourishing nutrients to generate the energy necessary to physically jumpstart people into exercise. They can transform your mitochondria into the powerhouses they were meant to be." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)
