Chronic fatigue can overtake your life. The accompanying tiredness can prevent you from handling everyday activities.
The basic treatment for chronic fatigue is replenishing nutrient or hormonal deficiencies and removing toxicity from the body. Nutrient deficiencies could be B-12, iron, vitamin D, or magnesium. Hormonal deficiencies affect adrenals, thyroid, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Toxicity includes heavy metals, chemicals, toxins, molds, infections, allergies, emotions and electromagnetic radiation frequencies.
Everyone has a different combination of these factors contributing to chronic fatigue.
Another possible culprit is infection.
Infections & CFS
A stressful situation activates the adrenal gland. This up-ends the immune system so viral and bacterial relationships can be activated. Viral and bacterial infections can trigger chronic fatigue.
The immune system may still react to a previous infection and cause more inflammation. Low-dose immune therapy can keep the body from overreacting to infections and their symptoms.
Listen as Dr. Evan Hirsch joins Dr. Susanne Bennett to share how infections and more influence chronic disease.
The Relationship Between Infections & Fatigue
Your chronic fatigue may be the result of an infection.
