Many people with chronic fatigue syndrome have had a history of exhausted adrenal glands and produce low amounts of cortisol and other adrenal hormones. Some holistic experts also find a high incidence of Candida yeast infection, leaky gut syndrome, food and environmental sensitivities and liver toxicity.
Chronic fatigue is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that it is only considered after other medical conditions have been ruled out.
Chronic fatigue syndrome can sometimes be confused with the following conditions that also result in fatigue. These include:
Anemia
Allergies
Candidiasis
Adrenal Insufficiency
Hypothyroidism
Hypoglycemia
Infections
Sleep Apnea
Hepatitis B And C
Orthostatic Hypotension
Sle
Narcolepsy
Cancer
Severe Obesity
Cushing Syndrome
Adrenal Fatigue
Substance Abuse
Generalized Anxiety
Dementia
Schizophrenia
Depression
Treatments
There is no known conventional treatment for the fatigue. Successful holistic treatment of chronic fatigue draws upon a range of therapies.
Holistic Testing
In order to help determine the underlying factors contributing to CFS, a number of tests are often conducted, including darkfield blood microscopy, electrodermal screening, stool analysis, unrinalysis, blood test, hair analysis, liver detoxification profile, adrenal stress test, nutritional analysis, antioxidant profile.
Lifestyle and Environmental
Develop health sleep habits. Try to get to establish a regular bedtime. Gentle restorative exercise such as tai chi, swimming, yoga, and walking is important, even though many people may not feel like it. Research has shown that two-thirds of people with chronic fatigue syndrome benefit from exercise, although it is critical not to overdo it.
Diet
Detox and cleansing diet for one to three weeks. Avoid all foods and chemicals that may be worsening symptoms. Wheat, dairy, corn, gluten-containing products (rye, oats, etc), sugar, and fermented foods are some of the most common food sensitivities. After the cleansing diet, the excluded foods are often re-introduced into the diet systematically to identify any aggravating foods. For CFS patients with candidiasis, all types of sugar, including milk products and fruit, should be avoided. Caffeine, alcohol, and refined carbohydrates such as white flour and white rice should be avoided.
Chinese Medicine
Chronic fatigue syndrome may be related to the following syndromes in Chinese medicine:
Spleen Deficiency
Kidney Deficiency
Essence Deficiency
Qi Deficiency
Kidney Yang Deficiency
Ayurvedic Medicine
A typical Ayurvedic approach may be to improve digestion, eliminate toxins. Usa a detox and cleansing program to purge toxins. Ayurvedic herbs include ashwagandha, amla, bala, triphala, and lomatium, which are combined according to the patient's dosha, or constitutional type. The vata dosha is susceptible to chronic fatigue.
Nutritional Supplements & Vitamins
Probiotics
Beneficial bacteria can greatly improve digestion and reestablish a healthy microbial balance in the intestines. A typical dose is one to two capsules two to three times per day, taken on an empty stomach.
Digestive enzymes
Pancreatic or vegetable-derived enzymes can supply your body with additional enzymes to digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Products differ greatly – some contain lactase to digest milk, others contain hydrochloric acid to assist the stomach, and still others contain ox bile to help with the emulsification and digestion of fats. A typical dosage is one to two capsules with meals.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C helps with the immune system, is required for healthy adrenal gland function, and helps liver detoxification pathways.
Magnesium
Magnesium is involved in more than three hundred enzyme reactions in the body. It is found in green leafy
