Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) / ME 

CFS is also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS), and Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease (SEID). 

CFS—or whichever name for it speaks to you—is neurological fatigue from an ongoing and chronic Stage Four Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Any of the over 60 varieties of Epstein-Barr virus, accompanied by toxic heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum, create viral neurotoxins that inflame and drain the central nervous system, creating an exhaustion that’s far more pronounced and limiting than simply being tired. In its more aggressive forms, the neurotoxins cause a mild encephalitis (which is undetectable by MRI or CT scan), which creates even heavier fatigue. This neurotoxin inflammation of the central nervous system can eventually weaken the adrenals, liver, and digestive system, and create the feeling that you have a low battery. 

If you’ve heard the term neurological fatigue before, that originated from Medical Medium information. At this point, the term is in wider use and not cited back to its original source. It’s the term I’ve been using for the last three decades to teach health professionals about viral neurotoxins hampering the central nervous system, leading the nervous system to become sensitive and have an allergic reaction to the neurotoxins, causing mild to severe inflammation of the nerves. Neurological fatigue can be part of many EBV-caused conditions. Often, people will have more than one condition or set of symptoms, with this neurological fatigue in the mix. 

Chronic fatigue syndrome is on the rise. It’s an illness that affects women in disproportionately large numbers. It’s also starting to take hold of men. It’s becoming common for young women in college to return home mid-semester with the condition, unable to do anything but lie in bed. Sadly, people with CFS often hear that they are liars, lazy, delusional, and/or crazy. But CFS is very real. 

Healed from M.E. / C.F.S, PTSD, Mood Swings, Fatigue, Arthritis & Burning Sensations

Take care of your liver and it will take care of you! (Read on) 

Just finished my first run through of the Liver 3:6:9 healing plan from this book and I feel amazing. 

I really wanted the cleanse to help me with what I think is rosacea on my chin that I’ve had since high school and part of it is completely gone for the first time! 

Before doing the cleanse I was also feeling irritable, getting easily frustrated and feeling stagnant in Life. I think the biggest feeling I got from this cleanse was a feeling of being “light” again and feeling peaceful. I highly recommend checking out the @medicalmedium information online or in the books to anyone who has been dealing with health issues in their life. 

As some of you know, @medicalmedium has been my source of inspiration for a few years now, ever since I had to stop my studies due to my poor health. From being unable to get out of bed for more than 12 hours a day to going back to finishing my studies and getting my degree a year and a half later, these books have helped me where no doctor could. As a result I have completely healed from: 

• M.E. / C.F.S. 

• Neurological fatigue 

• Fatigue 

• Mood swings and Seasonal affective disorder 

• Arthritis so bad I couldn’t even get onto my bed 

• Burning sensations in my fingers and legs 

• Brain fog, disorientation, and confusion 

• PTSD-like symptoms (out of nowhere) 

For those of you still looking for answers to better health, other issues his books and online information can help with are: 

• Adrenal problems and energy issues 

• Dark under-eye circles 

• Hypoglycemia and diabetes 

• Eczema and Psoriasis 

• Strep throat 

• Food sensitivities and allergies 

• Gut Problems like poor digestion or SIBO 

• Weight gain or weight loss 

• Varicose veins 

• Inflammation 

• Mystery hunger (as in you’re always hungry) 

• Hyper / Hypothyroid / Thyroiditis 

• ADHD 

• Diabetes 

• PMS / Menopause symptoms (didn’t help me, but it helped the women in my life!) 

• Fibromyalgia 

• Depression, Anxiety, PTSD 

• Migraines 

• Lyme disease 

• Epstein-Barr Virus 

• Fibroids, PCOS, heavy / painful menstruation (again has helped the women in my life!) 

Knowing there is a way forward is 90% of it all. Good luck to everyone out there and thank you AW and SOC. 

Adrenal Fatigue 

Our adrenal glands produce important hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, which are essential for mounting an effective response to stress. However, these responses are predicated on the notion that the stress response is a short-lived reaction to immediate threats that resolve quickly. When someone experiences ongoing stress, however, such as financial trouble, a demanding job, or chronic illness, the adrenal glands get overextended, and can end up having the equivalent of a nervous breakdown and behave erratically. 

The notion that “burned out” adrenals simply stop producing the full amount of hormones needed is inaccurate. What really happens is that exhausted adrenals produce either too little or too much hormone. In both cases, the negative health effects are profound. For example, excess adrenaline can deplete your brain of important neurochemicals, leaving you feeling depressed. Excess cortisol can put extreme burden on your liver, central nervous system and brain. Too little cortisol can wreak its own havoc, and negatively affect thyroid function. 

Symptoms of adrenal fatigue may include weakness, lack of energy, trouble concentrating, becoming easily confused, forgetfulness, trouble completing basic tasks, poor digestion, depression, and insomnia. As these symptoms can have multiple causes, additional clues that can point to adrenal fatigue include: 

• “Crashing” early on and/or throughout your day 

• You’re tired all day at work, but feel energetic in the evening 

• You’re exhausted at night but have trouble falling asleep 

• Feeling unrested after a full night’s sleep 

• Sweating excessively when performing light tasks (due to your endocrine system working overtime to compensate for lack of adrenaline) 

• Feeling thirsty and can’t seem to quench your thirst, you have dry mouth, or crave salt 

• Blurry vision or difficulty focusing (cortisol can dehydrate the body, including the eyes) 

• Craving stimulants. If you’re reaching for cigarettes, caffeine, and/or sugary snacks to keep you going, you may be instinctively substituting your diminishing adrenal hormones. 

A Natural Approach to Adrenal Fatigue 

Eating only three times per day can be tough on the adrenal glands, because your adrenals release cortisol if your blood sugar drops too low between meals, which brings your blood sugar back up. So if you frequently go without eating for long stretches, you’re straining your adrenals and not giving them a chance to recuperate. Thus, you can support your adrenals by eating a light, balanced meal every 90 minutes to two hours. This helps keep your blood sugar steady throughout the day so that your adrenals don’t have to interfere, giving them a chance to rest and restore themselves. 
Ideally your meals should contain a balance of potassium, sodium, and natural sugar (i.e. from fruits, which contain critical nutrients, not table sugar!)  

Examples of adrenal-supportive meals include: 

• A date (potassium), two celery sticks (sodium), an apple (sugar) 

• Half an avocado (potassium), spinach (sodium), an orange (sugar) 

• A sweet potato (potassium), parsley (sodium), lemon squeezed on kale (sugar) 

These examples needn’t be substitutes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but they help keep your blood sugar steady between those bigger meals.  

Other foods that support adrenal health include sprouts, asparagus, wild blueberries, bananas, garlic, broccoli, kale, raspberries, blackberries, romaine lettuce, and red-skinned apples. These foods help strengthen the nervous system, reduce inflammation, ease stress, and provide critical nutrients for adrenal function.  

The Role of Fats and Carbohydrates 

In addition to the above recommendations, moderating your fat intake is also helpful. This is because a very high-fat diet burdens your pancreas and liver, which can negatively impact blood sugar levels. To get a full explanation of how this works, read my book Liver Rescue. When your blood sugar is not under control, it creates a massive strain on your adrenals as they struggle to produce hormones to compensate. 

While lower-carb diets have some benefits, keep in mind that your body needs good-quality carbohydrates for energy, and a diet that is too low in carbs also strains your adrenals. Just ensure that the carbs you eat come from nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables, not pastries, candy, and soda! 

Complete avoidance of stress is unrealistic, but you can take steps to ensure that your body is equipped to cope with whatever life throws at you. By consuming healthy, nutrient-dense foods at regular intervals, you nourish every aspect of your being—and give your adrenal glands a well-deserved break so that they can help you when you really need it.
