The Problem: The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is characterized by persistent and debilitating fatigue and additional nonspecific symptoms such as sore throat, headache, tender muscles, joint pains, difficulty thinking and loss of short term memory. CFS and related disorders are not discrete diseases in the usual sense, but patterns of maladaptive responses to food and the environment. Controversy and confusion has surrounded CFS for several decades and many physicians continue to be reluctant to make this diagnosis. We believe that chronic fatigue syndrome is one example of non-specific hypersensitivity disease and should be treated with diet revision as the first and most essential form of therapy. Our theory of delayed or type 3 pattern food allergy explains all the features of CFS and locates the disease in the middle of a larger pool of hypersensitivity disorders. CFS is a non-specific expression of immune-mediated disease. The Solution
Overview: The good news for CFS sufferer is that proper, complete diet revision will often improve and sometimes solve the problem. The bad news is that your whole eating-style and life-style will have to change and you cannot go back to your old habits- they made you ill. Associated Disorders: Once you have the concept that people fit into boxes like "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome," you artificially separate people from the causes and connections that link their disease with other diseases. People with chronic fatigue are said to have associated symptoms. You have to consider that chronic fatigue is a little box inside a much bigger box. You then ask: "what is the common cause or common mechanism of all the conditions in the bigger box?The Alpha Nutrition Program is designed to improve chronic fatigue and related disorders. The most definitive clearing program is a food holiday, using an elemental nutrient formula (Alpha ENF), composed of nutrients in their pure form with no other food intake. Alpha ENF allows a sick person to return to a baseline of normal functioning, without the intake of numerous adverse substances that may have been present in their food supply. The best way to start is to order the Fatigue/Fibromyalgia Rescue Starter Pack . The fatigue rescue page explains this approach in more detail.
