Chronic Fatigue Syndrome<br />

People suffering from Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) also known as Myalgic Encephalitis<br />

(ME) suffer not only the debilitating effects of the illness but sometimes the psychological<br />

trauma from family members or healthcare professionals who may be ignorant of the illness<br />

<strong>and</strong> dismiss it as psychosomatic or even worse, a fabrication. But chronic fatigue syndrome is no<br />

minor illness. It is a severe <strong>and</strong> chronic illness causing extreme tiredness, joint pain, digestive<br />

disorders, sleep disturbances <strong>and</strong> a host of other symptoms.<br />

For people suffering Chronic Fatigue Syndrome even normal activities such as taking a shower<br />

can cause extreme exhaustion requiring a few hours of sleep to regain strength. The diagnostic<br />

scans performed at MedB clinic show that people diagnosed with CFS have inflammation of the<br />

digestive, immune, detox <strong>and</strong> hormonal systems. Also, there may be harmful microbes <strong>and</strong><br />

high levels of toxins like mercury, lead <strong>and</strong> mycotoxins. Extreme sensitivity to foods <strong>and</strong><br />

environmental chemicals is also commonly seen in CFS sufferers.<br />

Proper management <strong>and</strong> treatment of CFS should start with performing a full body diagnostic<br />

scan to get a detailed picture of the state of health. No two cases of Chronic fatigue syndrome will<br />

present the same way. The common thread between sufferers is extreme fatigue, but the cause of<br />

fatigue will vary from person to person. The therapy used at MedB clinic that has helped many<br />

patients involves clearing the body of microorganisms <strong>and</strong> toxins, correcting hormonal<br />

imbalances, <strong>and</strong> treating any other problem detected from a diagnostic scan.<br />
