chronic fatigue

[Guest guest]

I have had very good luck with a low level exercise

program- walk 1/2 mile on treadmill at 3.0 mph and

then 20 minutes on elliptical trainer/ lost weight and

fatigue while teaching school went away. It took about

6 weeks to kick in

best of luck

HI, Greg,

My husband rides his bike for miles, and he does the Total Gym workout.

He's a mailman and the exercise really helps him. Every now and then

he'll have a bad day and has to go to bed for extra rest. Then he seems

to rebound.

in Va.

I have had very good luck with a low level exercise

program- walk 1/2 mile on treadmill at 3.0 mph and

Have you had your thyroid function tested? Many of the symptoms you

describe can be due to low thyroid; however, it can be difficult to find a

doctor to treat you accordingly. Doctors today only want to look at a blood

test and pay little attention to patients talking about symptoms. They have

a set range, and if you fall in it, they will blow you off -- or maybe tell

you you're just " depressed. "

Be determined, and find a doctor who will really listen. I suffered like

this for a number of years, and then found a doctor who listened and put me

on a low dose of Armour thyroid and iodine supplementation. It changed my

life. I went from feeling like I was eighty years old (I had a very hard

time staying awake past three in the afternoon, and if I allowed myself to

sit for even a moment, I would doze off) to feeling young again.

Things like Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Co Q 10, fish oil, and perhaps even Creatine

could maybe help will your energy level, but get your thyroid evaluated

first. I suggest a DO or other holistic practitioner. I never could get an

MD to listen very well, but a DO saved me.

I think my autoimmune hypothyroidism and chronic fatigue resulted from a

horrible vaccine reaction (flu vaccine) when I was twenty-seven. I came

close to death from the reaction. You may want to think twice about taking

another vaccine as they are notorious for causing CFS.

Hope this helps.

I firmly believe that CF is caused by mercury poisoning as in amalgam

fillings and the preservative in vaccinations - thimerasol. Having amalgam

fillings replaced is not the end of the story. Your thyroid, and adrenals along

with other major organs (including liver) will have been effected by the

mercury and you need to take time and unfortunately money to mend and heal

these. Your digestive system as you know will have been detrimentally

effected and this will take supplements and time to heal. You may be low on

stomach acid and digestive enzymes as the mercury kills off all bodily enzymes

including those in the liver especially Cytochrome P450. This will need to be

replaced. I used mushroom supplements one of them was Coriolus. You'll

need among other supplements Glutathione and L-cysteine to allow effective

liver detoxification. I started my recovery with some wonderful aromatherapy

massages which made me extremely unwell to begin with but removed a huge

amount of toxins from my body and this eventually helped tremendously. Take a

look at _www.noamalgam.com_ (http://www.noamalgam.com) for further info.

Hope this has helped.

Kindest Regards

For explanations of thyroid and adrenal conditions try " From Fatigued to

Fantastic " by Teitelbaum. There are a couple doctors in Calgary who may treat

these conditions if you are lucky enough to find them.

Don't let any Calgary doctor talk you into any sort of heavy metal or mercury

test or treatment of any sort whatsoever!! To test for heavy metal poisoning

get an essential element hair test from Doctors Data Inc and use Andy Cutler's

Hair Test Interpretation book (through this group) to interpret. Check any

treatments with this group or the frequent dose chelation group. The tests and

treatments that most doctors use end up causing irreversible worsening in most.
