Discovering yourself through Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Hense forth refered to as "C.F.S." is a debilitating long term
illness that has been misunderstood, misdiagnosed and generally speaking not given
a great deal of respect by either the general populous or the medical community.
The illness can be difficult to diagnose since it can have multiple causes and many of
it's symtoms mirror those of other ailments such as M.S., Aides and Diabetes.
Basically there are two ways of contracting C.F.S.:
#1 In the first metheod, a virus called the Epstein Barr Virus is resposible for the
malaise.
The trouble is , anyone over the age of 31 has Epstein Barr has Epstein Barr in their
blood .It lies dormant waiting for the perfect conditions . The viral form of this illness can
sap 25 years of vitality from it;s host!
#2 The non-viral form of this illness is caused by what can only be discribed as
energetic bankrupsy. In a nutshell there is way more in your life that is taking your
energy and nothing is giving back.
There is an old scottish saying about money which I think applies here:
"IF YOUR OUTGO EXEEDS YOUR INCOME YOUR UPKEEP WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL"
Our energy is like our money : If we spend it un-wisely we can become depleted .And if
we are depleted long enough we can get ourselves into such debt that it can take us
years literally to get clear of it.
sensitivities to certain foods play a role,many otherwise nutritious foods act like
toxins in the body of those with a sensitivity ( And for this reason allergies should be
tested if C.F.S. is suspected) . Often the liver is over taxed from trying to filter out things
that in a normal person would not have been considered toxic , but wich, in the body of
a C.F.S. sufferer are. To much yeast in the gut can also contribute.Many of the hang-
over like symptems are a product of over- active yeast turning all the sugars to alcahol.
In addition people with C.F.S. often have compomised immune systems and on top of
their general feeling of weakness and malaise will come down with every cold or flu ect.
that comes down the pike and it will stay with them much longer than the average
person.
only recently has C.F.S. been given any recognition as a bona- fide illness, which must
come as a tremendous relief to those suffering from it's grip and it's long list of
symptoms, which can occur all at once and suddenly and include:
hang over - like symptoms
nausea
extreem feebleness
Chronic Fatigue
insomnia
virtigo
short term memory loss
