: About Me

Wm. Marcus Spurlock, MD

I am a board certified physician who specializes in the treatment of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I am the assistant medical director for the Fibro and Fatigue Centers. Our medical director is Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, and we have 14 centers across the United States. I am located in the Dallas, TX office and have been there since January 2005. Our website is: http://www.fibroandfatigue.com .

My board certification is in Family Practice, however, I have a whole host of backgrounds that I utilize to help me with my medical decision making process. I did a lot of HIV/AIDS work in the 1980-90's. It was there that I learned huge amounts of information on viral diseases, opportunistic infectious diseases and hormonal wasting syndromes. I am a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, and from there I learned about nutrition, supplementation and hormonal replacement programs. I spent 2003-04 learning about Environmental Medicine, and it was there that I learned about mold and chemical toxicities and the concomitant treatment protocols. I still work at the Environmental Health Center 4 days per month.

I use a holistic approach to treatment programs and I listen to the patient to get the complete story so that I can gather enough information to make intelligent decisions in their individual treatment regimen.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 101: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has been around many years and has gone by various names throughout the years. It is often accompanied by Fibromyalgia, another illness that has muscle pain and aching as a primary component. It is most likely a disease of modern times caused by the body being overwhelmed with exposures and deficiencies that lead to an "energy crisis" of the body's tissues. One of the major contributors to Chronic Fatigue is thyroid hormone depletion. Our modern environment has bombarded us with numerous substances that have not been clearly tested as ...
