Vitality 101 Newsletter: When to Use Antivirals in Fibromyalgia and CFS
Hello Reader,
I recently received a question from one of our website visitors and thought it might be of interest to many of you. So I decided to make it the subject of this week's newsletter.
The visitor asked: "I recently read that antivirals for CFS can do more harm than good if there's no evidence of a current infection. I have a high early antigen EBV, but I'm confused if this is relevant since it's not an IgM antibody. My physician says she no longer checks for it because even healthy people can test positive. Can you clear this up for me?"
This is a bit complex, so please bear with me as I go through this...

Zinc Picolinate
Zinc is an essential trace element involved in most major metabolic pathways. It is especially important for optimizing immune function, and is routinely low in those with chronic infections — including fibromyalgia. I strongly recommend people take 1 a day until they've finished the first bottle in order to replace deficits. After that, levels can be maintained by a multivitamin containing 15 mg/day.*

Consultations With Dr. T
I treat people with CFS and fibromyalgia all over the world by providing consultations over the phone or in person, with a comprehensive "new patient" consultation session including four hours of one-on-one time with me. During this initial session, I'll review your medical lab records, thoroughly discuss the experiences you've had with this illness, answer all of your questions, and recommended a detailed treatment protocol for your case.

Funny Stuff
Brenda and George call a taxi to go out for the evening. The last thing they do is put their cat out.
The taxi arrives, and as the couple walk out of the house, their cat scoots back in.
George returns inside to chase it out. Brenda, not wanting it known that the house would be empty, explains to the taxi driver, "My husband is just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother."
A few minutes later, an exhausted George climbs back into the taxi. "Sorry I took so long," he says. "The idiot was hiding under the bed and I had to jab her with a coat hanger over and over again to get her to come out!"
