Categories:

We have long known that people with CFS and Fibromyalgia are low in Acetyl L-Carnitine and that supplementation helps. A new study has now also found that ALC helps pain and depression in fibromyalgia and even helps cancer related fatigue.

Acetyl L-Carnitine Reduces Physical and Mental Fatigue and Improves Physical Function and Cognitive Status in the Elderly

Published: August 13, 2012

In a placebo controlled study of 96 elderly people over 70 years of age, supplementation with acetyl l-carnitine (ALC) was found to significantly reduce physical and mental fatigue and improve cognitive and physical function. Subjects were given ALC (2000 mg twice a day) or a placebo for 180 days. The ALC group experienced reductions in physical and mental fatigue and had improved functional status and cognitive functions. The results of this study suggest that supplementation with ALC may help to reduce fatigue in the elderly.

Acetyl L-Carnitine

BY:
Published: August 13, 2012
Categories:

Low levels of the carnitine compound acylcarnitine in the blood or muscles of people with CFS/FMS have been found by two different research centers. Carnitine plays many roles in the body. It has the critical function of preventing the mitochondria from being shut down when the system backs up. Also, without sufficient carnitine, the body cannot burn fat (and, in fact, makes excess fat), resulting in large weight gains.

Chronic Pain Linked to Low Vitamin D

Inadequate vitamin D may represent an under recognized source of nociperception and impaired neuromuscular functioning, say researchers. "Physicians who care for patients with chronic, diffuse pain that seems musculoskeletal — and involves many areas of tenderness to palpation — should strongly consider checking vitamin D level," Michael Turner, MD, from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, said in a news release issued March 25, 2009.

Although Motrin family medications are near useless for most people with Fibromyalgia, Lyrica, Ultram and Skelaxin (and a number of other medications) can be very effective. The best way to eliminate Fibromyalgia pain is by eliminating the pain's underlying causes with the "SHINE Protocol". While doing this, eliminating the pain with medications is also helpful. Below is another study showing that Lyrica can be very helpful in a significant number of Fibromyalgia patients.

We've talked in the past (and in this issue) about alpha lipoic acid (ALA) being very important for nerve pain — especially diabetic nerve pain, at a daily dosage of 300 milligrams. But for people with type 2 diabetes, it turns out that ALA is good for more than diabetes-damaged nerves.
