DESCRIPTION

Fatigue is often confused with tiredness. Tiredness happens to everyone. It is a feeling that you expect after certain activities or at the end of the day. Usually, you will know why you are tired and a good night's sleep will remedy the problem.

Fatigue is a daily lack of energy. It is an excessive whole-body tiredness not relieved by sleep. It can last for a short time (a month or less) or may last longer (1 to 6 months or longer). Fatigue can prevent you from functioning normally in your daily activities and can interfere with the way you enjoy activities or accomplish things that you need to do.

Fatigue is not a disorder in itself, but is a symptom. Most illnesses, from the common cold to cancer, are accompanied by fatigue. Fatigue is often the earliest symptom of such health problems as diabetes, candidiasis, anemia, cancer, hypoglycemia, allergies, malabsorption, malnutrition, hypothyroidism, poor circulation, and mononucleosis. Extremely persistent and disabling fatigue is the chief symptom of chronic fatigue syndrome. Fatigue can also occur during pregnancy. Fatigue that is characterized by a lack of energy only may be caused by depression or boredom. Persistent fatigue that is not caused by any underlying illness is usually the result of poor-dietary lifestyle and habits, especially the combination of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet and emotional stress. Alcohol, caffeine, drugs, tobacco, stress, and incorrect eating habits are all energy-robbers.

CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME (CFS)

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is not a disease as such but a characteristic and complex array of symptoms that may mimic other illnesses. The symptoms of this syndrome resemble those of flu and other viral infections, so it is often mistaken for other disorders. In fact, it is often misdiagnosed as hypochondria, psychosomatic illness, or depression because routine medical tests do not detect any problems. The symptoms of CFS may include aching muscles and joints, anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, poor memory, fever, headaches, low blood pressure, intestinal problems and pain, irritability, environmental sensitivities, jaundice, loss of appetite, mood swings, muscle spasms, recurrent upper respiratory tract infections, nasal congestion, candidiasis, sensitivity to light and heat, sleep disturbances, night sweats, sore throat, swollen glands (lymph nodes) and, most of all, extreme and often disabling fatigue. Immunological abnormalities that show up on various diagnostic tests are common as well.

The syndrome is 3 times more prevalent in women than in men, and primarily affects young adults between the ages of 20 and 50. In all, there are about 500,000 cases of people in the United States who have a CFS-like condition.

The cause or causes of chronic fatigue syndrome are not well understood. Some experts believe it is linked to infection with the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and/or cytomegalovirus (CMV), members of the herpes virus family that cause mononucleosis and retinal and gastrointestinal infections. This belief is based in large part on the fact that many people with chronic fatigue syndrome have been found to have high levels of EBV antibodies in their blood, and that many people date the onset of symptoms to a prolonged bout with a viral infection. However, no connection between EBV and chronic fatigue syndrome has ever been proven conclusively. Moreover, it is now known that many people have high EBV antibody levels without any apparent ill effects on their health. Many cases of chronic fatigue occur without any known preceding infection. This has led researchers to look for other possible causes. Some suspect an immune system problem or a defect in the mechanisms that regulate blood pressure.

Other proposed causes of chronic fatigue syndrome include anemia, arthritis, chronic mercury poisoning from amalgam dental fillings, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, infection with the fungus Candida albicans, and sleep problems.

Fibromyalgia, a muscle disorder that causes muscle weakness and fatigue, has been found in many people with chronic fatigue syndrome. Intestinal parasites are also comparatively common in people with this condition. It is likely poor diet, nutritional deficiencies, allergies, thyroid function, candida, anemia, and stress, all compromise the immune system, and can contribute to CFS.

Even though chronic fatigue syndrome is not life threatening, it cannot be cured, and it can result in serious damage to the immune system. Some people appear to recover spontaneously, but once you have had this condition, it can recur at any time, usually following a bout with another illness or during times of stress.

The major criteria to distinguish fatigue from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is:
  • Persistent fatigue that does not resolve with bed rest and that is severe enough to reduce average daily activities by at least 50 percent for at least 6 months.


  • The presence of other chronic clinical conditions, including psychiatric disorders, should be ruled out.

Chronic fatigue syndrome should not be confused with the results of overwork and stress. With CFS, a normal active level of life is impossible to maintain and the symptoms exceed, by far, the normal lethargy or tiredness associated with stressful and hardworking lifestyle.

CANCER-RELATED FATIGUE

  • Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common side effects of cancer and cancer treatment. It is not predictable by tumor type, treatment, or stage of illness. Usually it comes on suddenly, does not result from activity or exertion, and is not relieved by rest or sleep. It is often described as a paralyzing feeling and may continue even after treatment is complete.


  • The following cancer treatments are commonly associated with fatigue:
    • Chemotherapy: Any drug used in chemotherapy may cause fatigue, but it may be a more common side effect of drugs such as vincristine, vinblastine, and cisplatin. Fatigue usually develops after several weeks of chemotherapy. In some people, fatigue lasts a few days, while other people may experience fatigue throughout the course of treatment and even after the treatment is complete.


    • Radiation Therapy: Radiation can cause fatigue that increases over time. This can occur regardless of the treatment site. Fatigue usually lasts from 3 to 4 weeks after the treatment stops, but can continue for up to 2 to 3 months.


    • Combination Therapy: More than one cancer treatment, when given at the same time or when given one directly following the other, increases the chances of developing fatigue.


    • Bone Marrow Transplant: This is an aggressive form of cancer treatment that can cause fatigue that lasts up to one year.


    • Biologic Therapy: Biological substances, when used in high amounts, can be toxic and lead to persistent fatigue.

    Other cancer-related factors that can contribute to fatigue are:

  • Tumor cells compete for needed nutrients, often at the expense of the normal cells' growth. In addition to fatigue, weight loss and decreased appetite are common symptoms.


  • Decreased nutrition from the side effects of treatments, such as nausea, vomiting, mouth sores, changes in taste, heartburn, and diarrhea, can cause fatigue.


  • Cancer treatments, specifically chemotherapy, can cause reduced blood counts, which may lead to anemia. Anemia is a blood disorder that occurs when the blood cannot adequately transport oxygen through the body. When the cells in the tissues don't get enough oxygen, fatigue may result.


  • Medications used to treat cancer-related side effects, such as nausea, pain, depression, anxiety, and seizures, can also cause fatigue.


  • Research has shown that chronic, severe pain increases fatigue.


  • Stress can worsen feelings of fatigue. Stress can result from worrying about daily accomplishments or trying to meet expectations of others, as well as dealing with the disease and the "unknowns".


  • Fatigue may result when you try to maintain your normal daily routine and activities during cancer treatments. Modifying your activities and schedule can help conserve energy and reduce fatigue symptoms.


  • Fatigue and depression often go arm-in-arm with each other. Sometimes it is difficult to tell which symptom started first. You may try to understand your depressed feelings and how they affect your life. If you are depressed all the time, or you were depressed before your cancer diagnosis, or are preoccupied with feeling useless and worthless...you may need depression treatment.

    MoonDragon's Health & Wellness: Cancer Warning Signs & Possible Causes





    FREQUENT SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

  • Feeling whole-body tired, regardless of enough quality sleep.

  • Lack of energy, decreased energy.

  • Sleeping more than usual, sleepiness.

  • Exhaustion with minimum effort expenditure.

  • Inability to perform normal daily routines.

  • Tired eyes, legs, stiff shoulders, stiff neck.

  • Weakness or feeling of malaise.

  • Boredom or lack of motivation.

  • Increased irritability, nervousness, anxiety, or impatience.





  • COMBATING FATIGUE

    The best way to combat fatigue is to treat the underlying medical cause. Unfortunately, the exact cause is often unknown, or there may be multiple causes.

    There are some treatments that may help improve fatigue caused by an under-active thyroid or anemia. Other causes of fatigue must be managed on an individual basis. The following guidelines should help you combat fatigue.

    ASSESSMENT:

  • Keep a diary for one week (or longer) to identify the time of day when you are either most fatigued or have the most energy. Note what you think may be contributing factors.


  • Be alert to your personal warning signs of fatigue. Fatigue warning signs may include tired eyes, tired legs, whole-body tiredness, stiff shoulders, decreased energy or a lack of energy, inability to concentrate, weakness or malaise, boredom or lack of motivation, sleepiness, increased irritability, nervousness, anxiety, or impatience.





  • ENERGY CONSERVATION

    There are several ways to conserve your energy. Here are some suggestions:
      Plan ahead and organize your work.
      • Change storage of items to reduce trips or reaching.

      • Delegate tasks when needed.

      • Combine activities and simplify details.

      Schedule rest.
      • Balance periods of rest and work.

      • Rest before you become fatigued -- frequent, short rests are beneficial.

      Pace yourself.
      • A moderate pace is better than rushing through activities.

      • Reduce sudden or prolonged strains.

      • Alternate sitting and standing.

      Practice proper body mechanics.
      • When sitting, use a chair with good back support. Sit up with your back straight and your shoulders back.

      • Adjust the level of your work -- work without bending over.

      • When bending to lift something, bend your knees and use your leg muscles to lift, not your back. Do not bend forward at the waist with your knees straight.

      • Carry several small loads instead of one large one, or use a cart.

      Limit work that requires reaching over your head.
      • Use long-handled tools.

      • Store items lower.

      • Delegate activities when possible.

      Limit work that increases muscle tension.
      • Breathe evenly; do not hold your breath.

      • Wear comfortable clothes to allow for free and easy breathing.

      Identify effects of your environment.
      • Avoid temperature extremes.

      • Eliminate smoke or harmful fumes.

      • Avoid long, hot showers or baths.

      Prioritize your activities
      • Decide what activities are important to you, and what could be delegated.

      • Use your energy on important tasks.





    TREATMENT


    NUTRITION & FIGHTING FATIGUE

    Cancer-related fatigue is often made worse if you are not eating enough or if you are not eating the right foods. Maintaining good nutrition can help you feel better and have more energy. The following are strategies to help improve nutritional intake:
    • Meet your basic calorie needs. The estimated calorie needs for someone with cancer is 15 calories per pound of weight if your weight has been stable. Add 500 calories per day if you have lost weight. Example: A person who weighs 150 lbs. needs about 2,250 calories per day to maintain his or her weight.


    • Get plenty of protein. Protein rebuilds and repairs damaged (and normally aging) body tissue. The estimated protein needs are 0.5-0.6 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Example: A 150-pound person needs 75-90 grams of protein per day. The best sources of protein include foods from the dairy group (8 oz. milk = 8 grams protein) and meats (meat, fish, or poultry = 7 grams of protein per ounce). If you are getting insufficient protein, consider taking an amino acid complex supplement containing all the essential and non-essential amino acids.


    • Drink plenty of fluids. A minimum of 8 cups of fluid per day will prevent dehydration. (That's 64 ounces, 2 quarts or 1 half-gallon). Fluids can include juice, milk, broth, milkshakes, gelatin, and other beverages. Of course, water is fine, too. Beverages containing caffeine do NOT count. Keep in mind that you'll need more fluids if you have treatment side effects such as vomiting or diarrhea.


    • Make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet. Take a vitamin-mineral supplement if you are not sure you are getting enough nutrients. A recommended supplement would be a multi-vitamin & multi-mineral supplement that provides at least 100 percent of the recommended daily allowances (RDA) for most nutrients. Note: Vitamin & mineral supplements do not provide calories, which are essential for energy production. So vitamins cannot substitute for adequate food intake.


    • Make sure you are getting enough essential fatty acids and antioxidants in your diet to help support and maintain your immune system and to fight free radicals. Supplements are available to help provide extra support if your diet is lacking. Taking an acidophilus supplement will help with digestions and replacing any diminished "good bacteria" in the intestines that may have been destroyed through therapies. Supplemental digestive enzymes may be suggested to also help break down and assimilate the food you eat.


    • Make an appointment with a dietitian. A registered dietitian provides suggestions to work around any eating problems that may be interfering with proper nutrition (such as early feeling of fullness, swallowing difficulty, or taste changes). A dietitian can also suggest ways to maximize calories and include proteins in smaller amounts of food (such as powdered milk, instant breakfast drinks, and other commercial supplements or food additives).





    EXERCISE & FIGHTING FATIGUE

  • Decreased physical activity, which may be the result of illness or of treatment, can lead to tiredness and lack of energy. Scientists have found that even healthy athletes forced to spend extended periods in bed or sitting in chairs develop feelings of anxiety, depression, weakness, fatigue, and nausea.


  • Regular, moderate exercise can decrease these feelings, help you stay active and increase your energy. Even during cancer therapy, it is often possible to continue exercising. Walking, if it is possible, is a great exercise. Get outdoors and breath fresh air. This helps to revitalize your system. Take a walk around the block or a park and enjoy the scenery and stop to "smell the flowers" along the way. If you need to rest along the way, find a bench or a stairway to sit on for a few minutes.


  • Here are some guidelines to keep in mind.
    • Check with your health care provider before beginning an exercise program.

    • A good exercise program starts slowly, allowing your body time to adjust.

    • Keep a regular exercise schedule. Exercise at least 3 times a week.

    • The right kind of exercise never makes you feel sore, stiff, or exhausted. If you experience soreness, stiffness, exhaustion, or feel out of breath as a result of your exercise, you are overdoing it.

    • Most exercises are safe, as long as you exercise with caution and do not overdo it. The safest and most productive activities are swimming, brisk walking, indoor stationary cycling, and low impact aerobics (taught by a certified instructor). These activities carry little risk of injury and benefit your entire body.





    MANAGING STRESS LEVELS

    Managing stress can play an important role in combating fatigue. Here are some suggestions that may help.
    • Adjust your expectations. For example, if you have a list of 10 things you want to accomplish today, pare it down to 2 and leave the rest for other days. A sense of accomplishment goes a long way to reducing stress.


    • Help others understand and support you. Family and friends can be helpful if they can "put themselves in your shoes" and understand what fatigue means to you. Cancer groups can be a source of support as well. Other people with cancer understand what you are going through.


    • Relaxation techniques such as audio tapes that teach deep breathing or visualization can help reduce stress.


    • Activities that divert your attention away from fatigue can also be helpful. For example, activities such as knitting, reading or listening to music require little physical energy but require attention.


    • If your stress seems out of control, talk to a healthcare professional. See Stress for more information.





    CONSIDERATIONS

  • Colloidal Silver may keep bacteria in check because of its antibiotic and antiviral properties.


  • Treatment with Human Growth Hormone (HGH) can help to reduce fatigue. See Human Growth Hormone Therapy.


  • Allergies are often the cause of fatigue. Allergy testing, particularly testing for allergies to molds, is highly recommended. See Allergies for more information.

  • Hypothyroidism can cause fatigue. See Hypothyroidism for the underarm temperature test to determine if you have a low thyroid function.


  • Certain colors have energizing effects on the mind and body. See Color Therapy for more information.


  • Take regular cold showers may produce an improvement in fatigue symptoms. Many also find improvement with hot baths or showers. Alternating hot-cold water in your shower can be energizing. Every morning upon waking, take a hot-cold shower. Alternate water temperatures in 3 minute intervals, first hot and then cold. Then dry off vigorously to stimulate the skin. Hot-cold showers help boost energy by enhancing circulation and aid the body in removing waste. However, people with heart or circulatory disorders or other serious health problems should not attempt cold or hot water treatment without first consulting with a health care provider.


  • Amino acids may be beneficial. These include tyrosine, leucine, isoleucine, and valine, as well as lysine and taurine.


  • MoonDragon's Health & Wellness: Nutrition Basics: Amino Acids

  • A study at John's Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore identified a link between chronic fatigue and a problem in the body's mechanisms for regulating blood pressure. In this study, 22 out of 23 subjects with chronic fatigue were found to have a syndrome in which the body responds inappropriately to periods of prolonged standing - the heart rate slows and blood pressure drops, resulting in light-headedness, followed by a feeling of weakness and exhaustion that can persist for days afterward. A significant percentage of those in the study experienced an improvement when they were treated for this blood pressure problem.


  • Some research points to chemical and/or food sensitivities and hypoglycemia as possible contribution to fatigue. People living in the past 50 years have been exposed to more different chemicals than all of the rest of humankind combined.


  • MoonDragon's Health & Wellness: Chemical Allergies

  • Evidence is pointing to exhausted adrenal glands and a disturbance in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis, a complex of biochemical controls that coordinate certain basic metabolic activities) as a possible cause of this disorder.


  • Parasites are common in people with chronic fatigue. Parasitin Plus from Vaxa International is a supplement designed to rid the body of parasites.




  • Family members, friends, and coworkers must understand the nature of the disorder and realize that the person suffering from it is not exaggerating or faking symptoms.


  • Depression can be a major feature of this illness. To combat it, your health care provider may prescribe an antidepressant. Antidepressants commonly recommended for people with CFS include the following:
    • Doxepin (Sinequan) is a tricyclic antidepressant that may relieve symptoms of general fatigue, nasal congestion, gastritis, muscle tension and tightness, and insomnia. Other tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline (Elavil) may also be prescribed for people with chronic fatigue.


    • Fluoxetine (Prozac) increases the amount of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, a natural chemical that transmits messages from one part of the brain to another. Prozac may help to give people more energy but will not help with sleeplessness.


    • Gamma-globulin treatment uses a transfusion of an blood product to provide protective antibodies that may be absent in the person suffering from CFS.

  • People with CFS often suffer from disturbing side effects from prescription drugs. If this is the case, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM-e) and 5-hydroxy L-tryptophan (5-HTP) both work well as antidepressants, help to relax muscle tension, and prevent insomnia.


  • Some researchers believe that CFS may be hormone-related. Pregnenolone is a steroidal hormone that the body can metabolize into a variety of other vital hormones. It is a precursor hormone to DHEA and most of the other steroid hormones, such as progesterone, testosterone, the estrogens, and cortisol. The body naturally produces about 14 milligrams (mg) a day, but as we age this production drops. It has been found to be a hundred times more effective for memory enhancement than other steroids or precursors, and has been reported to reduce stress-induced fatigue. While it appears to be safe if the dosage is kept between 10 and 100 mg a day, it is recommended that any therapy involving its use be done under medical supervision with the appropriate pre-therapy tests being given to ensure safety.


  • There are other health problems that can cause symptoms of chronic fatigue, including anemia, cardiovascular disease (especially in women), depression, fibromyalgia, hepatitis, and Lyme disease, among others. Anyone who experiences extreme fatigue that persists longer than a week or two should consult with a health care provider.


  • If you find no physical reason for your fatigue, you should explore the possibility of a psychological basis and also seriously consider changing your lifestyle.


  • If you are diagnosed as having chronic fatigue syndrome, it is wise to seek out a health care provider who has specific experience in the management and treatment of this complex condition.


  • The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NSAID), a part of the National Institutes of Health, provides current information on chronic fatigue syndrome.

    fatigue at a cellular level


    HERBAL & HOLISTIC RECOMMENDATIONS


    FATIGUE, WEAKNESS & LISTLESSNESS

    If you are frequently tired and often feel exhausted during the day even though you are getting enough sleep, there may be a flaw in the way that your body creates and stores energy. Energy production takes place at the cellular level.

    The mitochondria, tiny structures within the cells often called the power plants or power houses of the cell, release energy as they break down fuel. Cells from metabolically active tissues, such as the liver, contain thousands of mitochondria. If you are unusually fatigued, you may be lacking vitamins, minerals, enzymes or oxygen needed for metabolism. This lack can slow down cell division, which results in a feeling of listlessness. Fatigue may also be caused by a specific condition, such as anemia, low blood pressure, chronic infections or liver disease, and should be evaluated by your health care provider. Fatigue is a warning sign from your body that should not be ignored. Do not try to treat it with caffeine or other stimulants.

    What you can do when you are feeling overcome by fatigue, you should try to achieve a healthy balance between exertion and relaxation in your daily routine. Exercising in the morning is a particularly effective way to increase vitality. A healthy diet that contains plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables will supply the nutrients needed to help combat fatigue over time.





    HERBS

  • Acacia, Cayenne (capsicum), Ginkgo Biloba extract, Gotu Kola, Guarana, and Siberian Ginseng help combat fatigue. Caution: Do not use Siberian ginseng if you have hypoglycemia, high blood pressure, or a heart disorder.


  • China Gold from Aerobic Life Industries is a liquid herbal combination formula that helps to boost energy. It is an herbal formula containing 36 different herbal extracts, including 10 varieties of ginseng. It helps to enhance the adrenal function and overcome fatigue.




  • Astragalus and Echinacea enhance immune function and are good for cold and flu symptoms. Caution: Do not use astragalus in the presence of a fever.


  • Fresh Black Walnut hulls, Garlic, Gentian root, fresh Ginger root, Neem leaves, Quassia bark, and fresh Wormwood all help to rid the body of parasites, a common problem for people with chronic fatigue syndrome.


  • Teas brewed from Burdock root, Dandelion, and Red Clover promote healing by cleansing the blood and lymphatic system, as well as enhancing immune function. Combine or alternate these herbal teas, and drink 4-6 cups daily.


  • sage wine
    SAGE WINE TO BOOST ENERGY


    Steep 4 ounces of sage leaves in 1 quart of dry red or white wine. Let it sit for one week at room temperature; then strain out the leaves. Take 2 tablespoons daily after your main meal. This stimulates the cardiac and circulatory function and corrects the tendency toward increased perspiration that occurs in many people who suffer from fatigue.


  • Use Goldenseal to control infection. Echinacea is helpful for immune function support. At the first signs of a sore throat, take a few drops of alcohol-free Goldenseal-Echinacea Extract, hold it in your mouth for a moment, then swallow. Caution: Do not take Goldenseal on a daily basis for more than one week at a time, and do not use it during pregnancy. If you have a history of glaucoma, use Goldenseal only under a health care provider's supervision.


  • Ginkgo Biloba improves circulation and brain function.


  • Kava Kava Skullcap (Scullcap), and Valerian root all improve sleep.


  • Licorice root supports the endocrine system and increases cortisol levels by blocking the action of an enzyme that breaks it down. Adrenal exhaustion leads to low production of cortisol and Licorice may prove to be beneficial for CFS sufferers. Caution: Do not use this herb on a daily basis for more than 7 days in a row. Avoid it completely if you have high blood pressure.


  • Milk Thistle protects the liver.


  • Olive Leaf has antibiotic and antiviral properties, and helps fight infections. Olive Leaf Extract is available in capsule form or can be prepared in a Olive Leaf Extract Tincture.


  • Pau D'Arco, taken in capsule or tea form, is good for treating candida infection.


  • St. John's Wort has antiviral properties and is a good antidepressant. St. John's Wort can be used for energy. The essential oil of St. John's Wort alleviates fatigue and exhaustion and clears the mind. It can also improve concentration. Mix 3 drops of the essential oil with 1 quart of non-sparkling mineral water. Drink a glass of this water whenever you feel the need to increase your energy level.


  • cloves
    EXTRA TIP


    Combining the essential oils of clove, cinnamon and sage can help you overcome fatigue. Dilute the preparation with a few drops of a neutral oil, such as sweet almond oil, to avoid skin irritation, and rub a small amount of this mixture on your temples, forehead and neck.





    RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Eat a well balanced diet with carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, minerals and trace elements to combat fatigue. This should consist of 50 percent raw foods and fresh "live" juices. The diet should consist mostly of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, raw seeds and nuts in your diet. Eat less red meat and more skinless turkey and some deep water white fish. These quality foods supply nutrients that renew energy and build the immunity.


  • dried fruits and nuts
    SNACK ON NUTS & FRUITS
    NOT SWEETS


    Avoid sweet pick-me-ups. While sugar is quickly digested and enters the bloodstream immediately, after a brief energy spike, the blood sugar level falls, leaving you feeling more fatigued than before. Moreover, high sugar consumption burdens the pancreas. Instead of sweets, you can eat nuts and fresh and dried fruit in moderation to provide steady energy and help you concentrate.

  • Add some form of acidophilus to your diet, and regularly consume soured products such as yogurt and kefir. Many people with chronic fatigue syndrome also are infected with candida. Acidophilus helps to keep candida under control.


  • MoonDragon's Nutrition Recipes: Homemade Yogurt

  • Consume plenty of quality water - at least ten 8-ounce glasses a day - plus juices, preferably freshly made vegetable juices. Drink a full glass of water at least every 2 waking hours. Water flushes out the toxins and aids in reducing muscle pain.


  • Avoid energy-robbers like sugar, alcohol, chocolate, fats, caffeine, white flour products (such as bread and pasta), and highly processed foods. Chocolate, soft drinks, caffeine, and highly processed foods deplete the body of magnesium, which leads to fatigue. Magnesium is important for people with CFS. Do not eat shellfish, fried foods, junk foods, stimulants like coffee, tea and soft-drinks and products containing yeasts. You may find this difficult because people with CFS generally have food cravings for sugar and carbohydrate products, and could also develop a craving for alcohol, but it is important.


  • Manganese for energy production. An insufficient supply of manganese can reduce the enzyme activity that takes place within the cells, leaving you feeling very fatigued, nervous and irritable. This trace mineral also helps to detoxify the liver and therefore aids the body in removing harmful substances from your blood. Manganese is found in beans, brown rice, blackberries, pineapple, tofu, walnuts and sunflower seeds. The daily requirement is 2-5 mg. Peas also contain manganese as well as biotin. Both minerals stimulate the body's production of glucose (blood sugar), helping to provide energy for the brain and central nervous system.


  • Make sure that the bowels move daily, and add fiber to the diet. Give yourself an occasional cleansing enema.

  • Take a protein supplement from a vegetable source. Spirutein is a good protein drink to take between meals. Use Spirulina, an excellent protein source. Take spirulina tablets three times a day with Bee Pollen, Octacosanol, 3,000 mg of Vitamin C, and free-form amino acids. This has been used for fatigue with good results.




  • Get plenty of rest, and may sure that you do not over-exert yourself. Moderate exercise may be helpful, however. Deep breathing exercises in particular are recommended. People with fatigue tend to take shallow breaths, which can cause sleeping problems. See breathing exercises in health therapy pain control information.


  • MoonDragon's Health Therapy: Pain Control

  • A common cause of chronic fatigue is a basic disturbance in a person's circadian rhythms, the system that controls the body's inner clock. The sleep/wake cycles of the body are triggered by the hormone melatonin, which is produced in the pituitary gland, located in the brain. When it is dark outside, melatonin production increases to induce sleep. Normally, morning light signals the pituitary gland to stop producing melatonin, but for some people the light may not be strong enough, especially during winter. Over production of melatonin can lead to chronic fatigue. To correct this, take a walk outside in the morning to expose yourself to sunlight and halt the release of melatonin. This trick may also be helpful for you to overcome jet lag when traveling. An indoor alternative is to use a full-spectrum light box, which emits light that is 10 times stronger than natural light. Positive results frequently appear when a person sits by the box for 1-2 hours a day, usually in the morning.

    MoonDragon's Alternative Health Therapy: The Value of Sleep

  • See Fasting, and follow the program once monthly.


  • Do not smoke, and avoid secondhand smoke. This can make symptoms worse since nicotine robs the body of nutrients and hinder the ability of the body to absorb necessary substances.


  • Do not take aspirin. If a viral infection is present, Reye's syndrome may result.


  • If fatigue is persistent, consult your health care provider to determine whether some underlying health problem may be the cause.
