About Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is an emerging illness characterized by debilitating fatigue (experienced as exhaustion and extremely poor stamina), neurological problems, and a variety of flu-like symptoms. The illness is also known as chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), and outside of the USA is usually known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). In the past the syndrome has been known as chronic Epstein-Barr virus (CEBV).
The core symptoms include excessive fatigue, general pain, mental fogginess, and often gastro-intestinal problems. Many other symptoms will also be present, however they will typically be different among different patients. These include: fatigue following stressful activities; headaches; sore throat; sleep disorder; abnormal temperature; and others.
The degree of severity can differ widely among patients, and will also vary over time for the same patient. Severity can vary between getting unusually fatigued following stressful events, to being totally bedridden and completely disabled. The symptoms will tend to wax and wane over time.
For a slight majority of patients, the illness begins suddenly as though one had come down with the flu. Except that this "flu" doesn't seem to completely go away. For many other patients, the onset appears gradually over a long period of time.
In many cases, a high-stress event seems to "trigger" the illness. There are many cases in which CFS appears to have begun with a severe head injury, for example.
Chronic fatigue syndrome, or CFS, is a debilitating and complex disorder characterized by profound fatigue that is not improved by bed rest and that may be worsened by physical or mental activity. Persons with CFS must often function at a substantially lower level of activity than they were capable of before the onset of illness. In addition to these key defining characteristics, patients report various nonspecific symptoms, including weakness, muscle pain, impaired memory and/or mental concentration, insomnia, and post-exertional fatigue lasting more than 24 hours. In some cases, CFS can persist for years. The cause or causes of CFS is complex, and no two persons have exactly the same set of causes.
A number of illnesses have been described that have a similar spectrum of symptoms to CFS. These include fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), myalgic encephalomyelitis, neurasthenia, multiple chemical sensitivities, and chronic mononucleosis. Although these illnesses may present with a primary symptom other than fatigue, chronic fatigue is commonly associated with all of them.
CFS symptoms: substantial impairment in short-term memory or concentration; sore throat; tender lymph nodes; muscle pain; multi-joint pain without swelling or redness; headaches of a new type, pattern or severity; unrefreshing sleep; and post-exertional malaise lasting more than 24 hours.
Other Conditions That May Cause Similar Symptoms:
In addition, there are a large number of clinically defined illnesses that can result in fatigue. These include: hypothyroidism, sleep apnea and narcolepsy, major depressive disorders, chronic mononucleosis, bipolar affective disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders, cancer, autoimmune disease, hormonal disorders*, subacute infections, obesity, alcohol or substance abuse, and reactions to prescribed medications.
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.

The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Cause
To understand The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Prevention
and Curing Protocol, you
should first get familiar with
The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Cause
Now, I assume that you know something about what is causing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, so we can
continue with the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome program.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Diet
Let's start with most simple part of this program: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome diet. When it comes to
diet, it is very important to avoid eating
Toxins and
Foods that Kill.
Please follow those links and learn what are
The Toxins I am talking about and what are those "
Foods that Kill". Now, important part of your diet should also be
Water Cure. Please, become familiar with
Water Cure. Your Diet should
contain: Foods That Heal,
Vegetable juices,
Fats that Heal,
Unrefined Sea Salt. Also, try to
understand food tolerance. You can not find the right Chronic Fatigue Syndrome diet, unless you
fully understand and learn about food tolerance.
Take some time to implement and learn all what you
have read here, and then continue reading further.
Body Cleansing (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)
Now, let's start with body cleansing. Body cleansing is extremely important
part of every prevention and curing program. You are guessing: "Dietary changes you made are
also a form of cleansing." But, most people need more then this, especially
when it comes to liver health. Body Cleansing
is even important for children. Our internal organs can hold a lot toxins, and
sometimes, it is impossible to get those toxins out, without doing cleansing.
Our liver can contain hundreds of intrahepatic stones. Those stones will block
bile flow, and affect the bases of your health, your digestion. Another problem
are parasites. You must learn as much as possible about parasites. And, don't
forget also dental toxins.
Let start with cleansing program. You are suppose to do cleansing in this
order:
- Bowel cleanse with parasite cleanse
- Dental cleanup (if you can
afford it)
- Kidney Cleanse and
- Liver cleanse.
Body Cleansing for Adults:
- Bowel cleanse and Parasite
cleanse !
- Dental cleanup - dental work
may be one cofactor of your disease: amalgam,
root canal,
nickel
crowns, cavitations
(pocket inside jaw bone left after extraction of the wisdom and molar teeth
)
- Kidney
cleanse
- Liver
cleanse and Gallbladder cleanse -liver flush!
Make sure you visit those pages and get more
info. Dental cleanup can take many years. If you have a lot of dental metal, do
not rush to replace it all at once.
Bowel cleanse should be done at least once a
year.
Liver cleanse is a procedure that, for best
results, should be repeated at least 6 - 10 times, every 2 or 3 weeks.
Kidney cleanse is simple and cheap, many herbs can be used to cleanse kidneys.
If you have no kidney stones, even
Water
Cure could be enough!
