| Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & the Organic Medicinal Treatments |
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis or ME., is about a poorly understood, variably debilitating disorder or disorders of uncertain causation.
Symptoms of CFS include widespread muscle and joint pain, cognitive difficulties, chronic, often severe mental and physical exhaustion and etc. Fatigue is a common symptom in many illnesses, but CFS is a multi-systemic disease and is relatively rare by comparison.
The most commonly used diagnostic criteria and definition of CFS for research and clinical purposes was published by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC definition of CFS requires two criteria be fulfilled:
1. A new onset (not lifelong) of unexplained, persistent fatigue unrelated to exertion and not substantially relieved by rest, that causes a significant reduction in previous activity levels.
2. Four or more of the following symptoms that last six months or longer:
• Impaired memory or concentration
• Post-exertional malaise, where physical or mental exertions bring on "extreme, prolonged exhaustion and sickness"
• Unrefreshing sleep
• Muscle pain (myalgia)
• Pain in multiple joints (arthralgia)
• Headaches of a new kind or greater severity
• Sore throat, frequent or recurring
• Tender lymph nodes (cervical or axillary)
CFS is thought to have an incidence of 4 adults per 1,000 in the United States. For unknown reasons CFS occurs more often in women than men and in people in their 40s and 50s.The illness is estimated to be less prevalent among children and adolescents but studies are contradictory as to the degree. There is no medical test which is widely accepted to be diagnostic of CFS. It remains a diagnosis of exclusion based largely on patient history and symptomatic criteria although a number of tests can aid diagnosis.
The majority of CFS cases start suddenly, usually accompanied by a "flu-like illness" which is more likely to occur in winter, while a significant proportion of cases begin within several months of severe adverse stress. An Australian prospective study found that after infection by viral and non-viral pathogens, a sub-set of individuals met the criteria for CFS, with the researchers concluding that "post-infective fatigue syndrome is a valid illness model for investigating one pathophysiological pathway to CFS" The accurate prevalence and exact roles of infection and stress in the development of CFS however are currently unknown.
Treatment - ImmunoCare and Immunomax
ImmunoCare and Immunomax are highly potent, quantifiably effective, all natural immunostimulating treatments for immune deficient conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia (FMG). These treatments are composed of high intensity antiviral, antimicrobial, and immunostimulant organic extracts which are clinically proven to eradicate the pathogens associated with the root cause of CFS and FMG, which are commonly triggered by the Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and infectious microbes.
