Guest guest Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 From Dr Teitelbaum's newsletter dated Aug 29 2009 Treating Low Blood Volume and Decreased Heart Function in CFS Dear Readers, In this newsletter we will discuss a critical but usually overlooked part of treating CFS and fibromyalgia effectively. It can be relatively easy to treat, but is not very glamorous, and is therefore often forgotten. We will focus on new research by Dr. Barry Hurwitz and a team of University of Miami researchers, including Dr. Klimas, who is wonderful and one of my favorite people in the CFS community (though I sometimes disagree with her, I've always had enormous appreciation and respect for her). Their recent study shows that patients with CFS have: 1. A lower blood volume (basically are dehydrated), 2. Fewer red blood cells to carry oxygen and nutrients (basically anemia, despite normal blood tests). The study also discusses that although the heart may be smaller in CFS and beats less efficiently, this is likely caused by the dehydration and low blood volume, as opposed to primarily being a heart problem. The good news is that all of these issues can be effectively treated and optimized naturally -- which can leave you feeling much better! for the rest of the newsletter -> http://www.endfatigue.com/health_articles_c/Cfs_fm-treating_low_blood_volume_and\ _heart.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
