What are the Alternative Treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Have you ever experienced a feeling of being so tired all the time? You could be having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. There are more than a million Americans who have this debilitating disease and around 80% of them are not even aware that they have such condition, according to a study conducted by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Do you think you are one of them?
Or maybe you or somebody close to you may have already been diagnosed with this condition. If you have it, then the best thing that you must do in order to overcome such problem is to make use of effective alternative therapies.
You cannot necessarily have CFS just because you get tired often. Dr. Julie Gerberding, CDC director, explains that symptoms of profound exhaustion, problems with concentration and sleep can differentiate a simple case of exhaustion from CFS. Symptoms of pain in the joints and muscles, headaches, flu-like symptoms and sore throats and tender lymph nodes are also manifested.
The symptoms felt by a person with CFS can be similar to diseases that also make a person experience fatigue, like Fibromyalgia, chronic mononucleosis, neurasthenia, encephalomyelitis and multiple chemical sensitivities, according to Dr. Gerberding. Poor nutrition can of course be one main reason for fatigue, but some other health problems may contribute to it, like improper digestion, allergies to food, obesity, tension, depression, insomnia, alcoholism, drug addiction and smoking.
The feeling of physical and mental fatigue brought about by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can be very difficult to the extent that it prevents a person from doing things that they normally do from day to day. No amount of rest can be sufficient to make them feel better. However, some basic lifestyle changes and a diet consisting of whole food nutrients may be implemented to help prevent and even reverse CFS symptoms.
Primarily, a change to a more wholesome diet that must include lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains can help. For a source of protein, use cold water fish that is high in omega-3 oils and lean, free ranging poultry. Take in a lot of pure and clean water and try to avoid processed, salty and sweet foods. As much as you can, try to avoid sugar, alcohol, coffee, tea, sodas and fruit drinks. If you are a smoker, quit it.
Start looking for ways to make your life stress free and make sure you get adequate rest. It can also help if you begin to exercise regularly. Though it may seem to look impossible, but exercise can relieve you of stress and it plays a very important role in your alternative therapy. Take is slow. Do not be too hard on yourself. Gradually move up with patience in obtaining your goal.
Even if you do all of the things that you must do, you may seem to fall short of the nutrients that you get from the food that you eat. The CDC recommends that you include supplements in your diet. I would recommend the use of natural, whole food supplements which includes essential oils that is important for a healthy body.
All this time, I have always witnessed how alternative treatments can work wonders for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia or just plain fatigue. Those who are able to follow the instructions to a T actually get superb results. They just felt so much better and are actually enjoying life more than ever and have said good-bye to chronic fatigue! - 17269
