Re: CFS Help needed! - raquel

[Guest guest]

Raquel, is it just fatigue (and maybe fibro) or are you still

battling a lot of infections?

I only ask because I did learn a lot about restoring my immune

system from " Allergy Relief & Prevention " by Krohn &

Francis , and a lot of the guidelines in the " Body Ecology

Diet " by Donna Gates are helpful. With proper diet and supplements,

my immune function made a tremendous recovery, albeit fragile. I

start getting infections again & eventually feel like I'm in a

constant 'flu' state if I try reverting to a mainstream diet and cut

back on supplements.

For me, the fibro-fatigue side of it is what I can't control as well

as I'd like to. Since a doctor had diagnosed me as " ADD " before I

knew about all the other stuff, I decided to go back to taking a low

dose stimulant several days a week in the months before starting

frequent dose chelation. I actually feel fine (no achiness, decent

energy level) when I do and rarely get ill, if ever. If I were able

to drink some coffee, it would probably do the same. I have tried

everything, even Enada NADH, but only by taking a stimulant do I

live a normal life most days of the week. It allows me strength all

day to hold my head up, be pain-free, stay awake, be alert and able

to focus and think at a reasonable pace. I think it works by

improving my whole-body metabolic state, and it's probably helping

chelation go a lot better, too. Interestingly, there must be others

in this situation because Andy mentions epinephrine-norepinephrine

deficiencies in his book, and in Teitelbaum's " Fatigued to

Fantastic " there are direct references to this.

It's been a tough issue for me because I really believe in natural

healing and would do it all via organic diet, clean water, clean

air, active lifestyle, etc., if only that could be enough.
