Chronic Fatigue (CFS) and Proven Natural Medicine

Would You Like Your
Chronic Fatigue Natural Medicine
To Give You Better Results?

Having chronic fatigue doesn't mean you have to go through every natural cure, home remedy or vitamin supplement to find the one that helps you.

Why don't you just try the natural medicines that have been proven to work.

Following, is a list of natural medicines that have either been proven to be effective or proven to be ineffective.

To save you the energy of reading through mountains of material, I have provided you with the list of what works for chronic fatigue and what doesn't.

If I have listed something here that you disagree with, I would love to hear from you.

Transfer Factor

According to the American Journal of Medicine in 1993 there is insufficient reliable research on transfer factor and CFS. More research is needed on this one....

Magnesium Phosphate

CFS sufferers with low Magnesium levels have shown some improvement in energy levels and pain when given supplements. Magnesium is a great mineral for muscle aches and pains as it is a muscle relaxant and helps stop spasms. Magnesium Fizz 700 MG 12 OZ is ideal as it is a fizzy drink with a huge amount of 700mg of magnesium per serve. This is the quickest way you will get magnesium into your system. I highly recommend this product.

L-Carnitine

This amino acid is important in the production of energy so you are opening up the lines of cummunication between between your cells. There is positive evidence that L-carnitine helps CFS symptoms after 4 weeks of treatment and can be found at Pure L-Carnitine (30 Tabs) 300 mg

Neuropsychobiology 1997

Co-enzyme Q10

There is conflicting evidence for CoQ10. Some studies have seen positive results and others haven't.

Antioxidants

Although antioxidants do not improve the symptoms of CFS they atleast help prevent further free radical damage to your already fragile system. Antioxidants may include:

Vitamins A, C and E

Gingko Action Labs Super Gingko Biloba Plus 50 Caps

Cranberry Cranberry Extract 400 mg 60 capsules: K

Grape Grape Seed (PCO) Extract 60 Caps

Bilberry Bilberry Extract 60 Caps

Licorice (Glycyrriza glabra)

There has been a few studies done on licorice because of it's blood pressure effect but there has been no positive results for the symptoms of chronic fatigue.

Journal of Human Hypertension 2001

Panax Ginseng

Although ginseng has the ability to raise cortisol levels which helps deal with pain, this doesn't appear to help CFS.

Pediatric Research 2000

DHEA Dehydroepiandrosterone

Research has consistently shown CFS sufferers to be low in this hormone which is produced in the adrenal glands. However...research has been conflicting. Some patients have reported improvements with anxiety, stress, depression, sleep and memory. Others haven't seen such marked improvement.

International Journal of Molecular Medicine 1998

Natural Stimulants

Herbs such as gingko, green tea, ginseng, cola and guarana have all been tried and tested for CFS with little result.

Vitamins and Minerals

It is suggested that a good Vitamin and Mineral complex won't help symptoms but in patients with a poor diet or compromised gastrointestinal system, it is highly recommended.

NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate)

This coenzyme has only had a small amount of research but the early results are promising. 10mg/day NADH appears to improve some symptoms uncluding fatigue.

In a study done in 1999, 31% of patients responded favourabely to NADH as opposed to 8% in the placebo group. At 10mg per tablet, Dr. Birkmayer's Co-E1 NADH 10Mg is an excellent choice.

Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology 1999

Shiitake Mushroom

In 2002 there was a small study done on 33 CFS patients. The study lasted for 4 months and it was testing the effect of a product named RM-10. RM-10 actually contains 10 different mushrooms, one of them being Shiitake. Although the study was small, it had some fantastic results for this product. The results were based upon a daily dosage of 9,900mg of RM-10 daily. Click on the image to your right to acess this particular product used in the trial.

16 patients had a 48% increase in Killer T cells

100% showed a red blood cell improvement

53% increase in Potassium (all patients were previously low)

33% ended the trial with no symptoms

42% said symptoms improved by 60%

25% were better by 40%

All patients experienced beneficial effects and none worsened

21 patients declared improvements in the following:

heightened skin tone

better digestion

deeper sleep

reduction of pain

greater resistance to colds and flu
