Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

CFS is a descriptive name of a myriad of symptoms including: recurring sore throat; low grade fever; lymph node swelling; headache; muscle and joint pains (fybromyalgia); intestinal discomfort; anxieties; depression; mood swings; loss of concentration; allergies and hypersensitivities; hot and cold flashes; muscle spasms and numbness; over sensitivity to noise, light or temperature changes; sleep disturbance; and extreme, often disabling fatigue.

Major criteria used to distinguish CFS are:

• Persistent fatigue that does not resolve with bed rest and that is severe enough to reduce average daily activity by at least 50% for at least 6 months
• The presence of other chronic clinical conditions, including psychiatric disorders can be ruled out.
• Antibodies to certain viruses may be present (e.g. EBV, CMV, BFV, etc.). A virus may or may not be active by the time the symptoms develop. The virus tends to hype up the immune system and deregulates other body systems and the effect is similar to symptoms of various autoimmune diseases.

My approach is not to help, treat, or improve CFS, but to get rid of it! Although results may vary, a typical CFS sufferer recovers 75% within 3 months; 90-100% within 6 months; and 99-100% within 9 months. Most clients can see some positive differences in as little as 7 days on the program. At least half of the patients don’t need more than 6 months to recover.
