The Best CFS tips Ever

Signs & Symptoms

~ CFS is marked by extreme fatigue that has lasted at least six months; is not the result of ongoing effort; is not substantially relieved by rest; and causes a substantial reduction in daily activities.
~ In addition to fatigue, CFS includes eight characteristic symptoms:
- postexertional malaise (relapse of symptoms after physical or mental exertion);
- unrefreshing sleep;
- substantial impairment in memory/concentration;
- muscle pain;
- pain in multiple joints;
- headaches of a new type, pattern or severity;
- sore throat; and
- tender neck or armpit lymph nodes.
- Symptoms and their consequences can be severe. CFS can be as disabling as multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, congestive heart failure and similar chronic conditions. Symptom severity varies from patient to patient and may vary over time for an individual patient.

In addition to the eight primary defining symptoms of CFS, a number of other symptoms have been reported by some CFS patients. The frequencies of occurrence of these symptoms vary from 20% to 50% among CFS patients.
They include;
~ abdominal pain,
~ alcohol intolerance,
~ bloating, chest pain,
~ chronic cough, diarrhea,
~ dizziness,
~ dry eyes or mouth,
~ earaches,
~ irregular heartbeat,
~ jaw pain,
~ morning stiffness,
~ nausea,
~ night sweats,
~ psychological problems (depression, irritability, anxiety, panic attacks),
~ shortness of breath,
~ skin sensations,
~ tingling sensations,
~ and weight loss.

Prevalence of chronic fatigue syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) affects more than one million people in the United States. There are tens of millions of people with similar fatiguing illnesses who do not fully meet the strict research definition of CFS.

Treatment/Therapy:



~ Since there is no known cure for CFS, treatment is aimed at symptom relief and improved function. A combination of drug and nondrug therapies is usually recommended.

~ No single therapy exists that helps all CFS patients.

~ Lifestyle changes, including prevention of overexertion, reduced stress, dietary restrictions, gentle stretching and nutritional supplementation, are frequently recommended in addition to drug therapies used to treat sleep, pain and other specific symptoms.

~ Carefully supervised physical therapy may also be part of treatment for CFS. However, symptoms can be exacerbated by overly ambitious physical activity. A very moderate approach to exercise and activity management is recommended to avoid overactivity and to prevent deconditioning.

~ Although health care professionals may hesitate to give patients a diagnosis of CFS for various reasons, it's important to receive an appropriate and accurate diagnosis to guide treatment and further evaluation.

~ Delays in diagnosis and treatment are thought to be associated with poorer long-term outcomes. For example, CDC's research has shown that those who have CFS for two years or less were more likely to improve. It's not known if early intervention is responsible for this more favorable outcome; however, the longer a person is ill before diagnosis, the more complicated the course of the illness appears to be.


Recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome


~ CFS affects each individual differently. Some people with CFS remain homebound and others improve to the point that they can resume work and other activities, even though they continue to experience symptoms.

~ Recovery rates for CFS are unclear. Improvement rates varied from 8% to 63% in a 2005 review of published studies, with a median of 40% of patients improving during follow-up. However, full recovery from CFS may be rare, with an average of only 5% to 10% sustaining total remission.

Eating Healthy Wont Cure Your CFS, But Eating Poorly Will Make It Worse. - by Catherine Morgan
There is no cure for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS and FM), but many doctors believe that it is helpful to eat healthy.

I believe this is true for several reasons; one - many people with CFS and FM are sensitive to chemicals and additives that are found in processed foods, two - refined sugars such as fructose are not good for anyone (except maybe a diabetic in insulin shock), three - good nutrition is found to benefit everyone, sick or not, it's just better for you.

So with that said, why aren't we all eating healthy? Well, that is simple to answer. It's harder, it's more work, it's more expensive, and most of us are addicted to sweets. So what should we do then? Well, we try are best to start eating healthy, one day at a time, one healthy food at a time.

Here are a few places you can start.

1. Eliminate or limit your intake of refined sugars, (ie: cookies, cakes, candy, soda, etc.), nature sugar from fruits are o.k.

2. If you don't eat vegetables, start eating one serving a day, if you already eat one serving a day, try to start eating two.(you see where I am going with this, right?).

Not all vegetables are created equal, for instance; spinach, broccoli, green beans, are really good for you, corn, potatoes, iceberg lettuce, just so so ..but better than nothing.

3. Increase your "lean" protein intake, (ie: chicken, fish, pork, lean beef). Wild Salmon once a week is a great idea, and you can now get it in frozen, single portioned packages. I find this helpful because buying "fresh" goes bad fast. And most "fresh" is actually Atlantic Salmon (code name for farm raised with chemicals).

4. Replace all (or most) soda intake with water. There is nothing about soda, diet or regular, that is good for you. If you are drinking it for the caffeine, coffee is better for this purpose than soda.

5. Eliminate or cut back your use of processed foods, (ie: frozen dinners, anything with a powder packet, anything with "sulfite", etc.)

6. Increase your intake of fiber, oatmeal in the morning is good for this. I admit, I do cheat and use the "instant" variety of oatmeal, it's just easier.

These are just a few ideas. Obviously there is much more to good nutrition, but we need to start somewhere, taking baby steps is better than not taking any steps.

Don't do it all at once, make small changes, and gradually work your way into eating a healthier diet.

You will begin to see that you feel better when you eat healthier than you do when you are eating junk, this will then become your motivation to keep it up.

You might also find an article I wrote titled "Can What You Eat Make You Happy?" helpful.

FACT! Did you know that CFS can be as disabling as Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, congestive Heart failure and similar chronic conditions?

However, since there still is no definitive medical test that will confirm the presence of chronic fatigue syndrome, it sometimes appears to others that people with CFS just have a lack of motivation rather than a true sickness.

Employers and family often become impatient with the sufferer as they can't relate to or SEE what the problem really is.

But as you would already know. Being alone with this sense that "something is wrong" and knowing that it is getting worse is a terrible feeling!

And to then have medical checkups, only to be told there is nothing wrong and to "just take things a bit easier" actually sharpens the fear that there is something fundamentally very wrong with your body.

Aren't You Tired Of the Physical Effects of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
You know there is a problem when things start to go beyond that "Just run down" point:

~ When you have a full nights sleep but still wake up tired
~ When you have concentration or energy drop-outs in the middle of the day
~ When you start having food allergies that had not been a problem before
~ When you start reacting to environmental conditions that had not affected you before. This may be hay fever, asthma or just sensitivity to pollution or household cleaners or even skin care products
~ When your immune system starts to drop away it seems fairly common for people who previously did not get colds and flues to find that when anyone around them sneezes they pick up the bugs

If you are not certain yet if it is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome you are coping with, you can study our article linked below for further information.

It gives the complete list of chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms from a medical perspective and also from our own experience in working with this problem for over more than a decade.

But What If You Qualify and Already KNOW you are dealing with C.F.S. or M.E. ?

Then it's just a matter of recognizing the degree of grasp it has on you and what kind of triggers set it off in your body in the first place.

What we find normally when talking with people is that there seems to be several histories that are common to people with chronic fatigue syndrome.

That means that the sufferer will have had a high stress time and during that time they will have had an "incident" that involved the use of antibiotics.

Separately, but still falling into the same stress/incident category, are people who have had a viral infection that appeared to clear up but that they never felt they recovered from. Most often they had at least one course of antibiotic medications prescribed for them to deal with the viral infections. They then slipped into a downhill path that has left them with all the conditions of chronic fatigue syndrome.

Finally there is a group who has had chemical contamination and this is the group that is most difficult to pull back from the edge of immune system collapse.

With all of these cases there are answers but we will look at them in much more depth below so that you can assess if these things are relevant to you in your own unique condition.

At the extreme end of this cycle, are the people who have "fallen over the edge" and their immune system has almost totally collapsed.

Here is my own story

Before using our chronic fatigue herb and nutrition supplements:

"When I was 17 years old I developed a bad case of Glandular Fever that took many weeks to fully recover from. I remained anaemic, and lost the natural energy I used to have up til then.

By the age of 28 - 29 in the late 1980's I was a walking wreck... a fully paid-up member of the "Yuppie Disease" Club .... too tired to even do any 'fun things' anymore. Doctors had no idea what to suggest, other than to "get some rest.

I still remember when during my 90 minute drive to work every day, I would often wake up at different stages of the drive, wondering - HOW I had driven to that point...!?!
That happened behind the wheel of my car nearly every morning.

YES.. BE AFRAID of the other morning commuters sharing the road with you, as some of them will also be driving on auto-pilot while they unknowingly take a nap on the way to work!

Every morning I would drag myself awake, feeling like I had the worst flu possible, multiplied by 10. And at one stage I wasn't even able to get out of bed for over 12 long and expensive months

And here is what happened when I started using our chronic fatigue herb and nutrition supplements:

"I started using the nutrition products and things started happening quickly, I had all sorts of reactions as I cleaned out toxins from my system, but before long I found I could get myself out of bed in the morning with a clear head and ENTHUSIASM for the day ahead.

My friends started telling me that there was a spark in my eyes and a bounce in my step they had never seen before. I could laugh again and I could work again and there was hope in my life for the first time in a very, very long time.

In the following years since that momentous decision to "just try ONE more thing.... don't give up just yet" I can tell you that I have developed a reputation for being a notorious workaholic with ridiculous levels of stamina, regularly working 30 hour shifts on projects I enjoy. My friends will testify to my sheer endurance nowadays and the joy I have in my life."

Even if doctors have told you there is no 'treatment' for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, other than to 'just slow down and take it easier', we will show you that there are natural self care alternatives with chronic fatigue herb and nutrition supplements that *CAN* have a dramatic impact on the problem.

Finally! A Dynamic Energy Pack Guaranteed to get you results

Coming out of chronic fatigue syndrome can sometimes be deceptively simple but in other cases can be a difficult process. Your case will be unique too.

But if you can manage to drink a couple of truly delicious smoothie shakes and swallow a couple of supplement tabs every day, then you will agree that this is the simplest, tastiest, pain free health solution you have tried in a very, very long time!

What we can tell you after working with a lot of people is that through using nutritional products virtually everyone we have dealt with has had a measurable improvement and most are able to bring themselves back to normal activity - or even better than ever before in their lives.

So, WHY do our chronic fatigue Herb Nutrition Supplements work so well?

The range of nutrition products that we use are designed to do three very specific things for your system.

1. Detoxify the body.
2. Rebuild the body's ability absorb nutrition
3. Give the body the nutrition it needs and can use at a cellular level, so that it is properly supported to heal itself naturally, as your body is designed to do.

Diet for CFS should consist of fresh vegetables, legumes, whole grains, protein and essential fatty acids. Symptoms of CFS can be reduced with the help of the following supplements:

(1) Magnesium may help to reduce fatigue but intake of too much magnesium can cause diarrhea. It can be combined with malic acid to increase energy.
(2) Essential fatty acid found in fish oil and evening primrose oil also helps in reducing fatigue.
(3) A naturally occurring chemical NADH is involved in the energy production in the body.
(4) Coenzyme Q10 will help the cells to function and produce energy.
(5) A hormone DHEA produced by the body which improve the energy levels and it is a precursor to testosterone and estrogen. DHEA is truly a hormone than a supplement and should not be taken without the prescription of a doctor. DHEA should not be taken if you have or at a risk for breast cancer, prostate cancer or any other hormone influenced illness.
(6) Vitamin B12 will improve energy but should be taken as injection as oral supplements do not work well and also the body cannot absorb the Vitamin needed as a supplement.
(7) Beta-carotene to improve the immunity.
(8) To increase endurance and immune function of the body, Vitamin C is necessary.
(9) To reduce the effects of stress B-complex with additional B6 and B5 has to be taken.
(10) Pantothenic acid or vitamin B5
(11) L-carnitine is used to support energy production in the cells.
(12) Iron treats anemia that cause tiredness and improve mental clarity but should be taken only if the doctor has diagnosed an iron deficiency.
(13) Deficiency of copper can lead to inflammation and zinc will boost the immune system.
(14) Alpha lipoic acid improves energy.
(15) 5-HTP regulates sleep.

Follow a balanced diet and drink eight to 12 glasses of water daily to fight against fatigue. CFS symptoms can be worsened by food allergies. Common food allergies are milk, wheat, eggs, citrus, alcohol, chocolate and coffee. Intake of energy producing foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole milk, wheat and wheat products, rice, barley, honey, olive oil, mung bean soup, raisins, dates, figs, almonds, clarified butter and yogurt are important.

Food that decreases energy are red meat, aged or fermented foods, onions, garlic, mushrooms, potatoes, sugar alcohol and coffee. According to Ayurveda, for obtaining maximum amount of energy complete digestion of food is important and to increase digestion follow some simple rules such as eating in a quiet place, follow proper meal times, sit and eat, do not eat while upset, eat only to satisfy, avoid cold food and drinks, don't talk while chewing and eat at a moderate speed.

Chronic fatigue herbs will help with rising energy levels; gingko biloba is known for improving blood flow and brain function, valerian or skullcap are great sleep aids and ginseng will improve the overall energy of a person. Drinking Herbal tea with Schizandra and ginger has also been known to help heightening an individual's energy, so whenever you need a boost, do not hesitate to reach for a few herbs to battle fatigue.

You should learn more about natural chronic fatigue herbs and drinks including Herbal Aloe drink which is a marvelous blend of juice and herbs which seems to heal everything it touches.

Nutritional supplements and Herbal Teas can play an important role in your chronic fatigue recovery program. Chronic fatigue herbs can help stimulate a person's immune system, glands, and digestive tract, and they can help stabilize and relax your mood. Natural nutrition products will detoxify the body, rebuild the body's ability to absorb nutrition and also give the nutrition needed for the body and can use at a cellular level to help your body heal itself of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome health problems.

So what can you do about your Chronic fatigue Syndrome?

One of the most common self care remedies is to rest and learn to reduce and manage your stress levels. However, this is almost impossible to achieve in our busy lives today.
And all of us have to keep working to earn a living, so taking a year off from work to rest and recover is not really an option for most of us. Another strategy is to build up your strength and immunity levels by improving your diet and nutrition. But when you are feeling sick you do not feel like eating the huge amounts of fresh organic fruit and vegetables that this would require.

But do not worry, whatever may be your level of chronic fatigue, it has been observed that taking quality dietary supplements and use of chronic fatigue herbs can help to improve the health and energy levels of the sufferer. This is the simplest and fastest way to improve your health and start on your road to recovery and fully enjoying your life again.
