Addressing Low Blood Volume and Decreased Heart Function in CFS

Published: August 9, 2012

In this important article we will discuss a critical but usually overlooked part of addressing CFS and fibromyalgia effectively. It can be relatively easy to address, but is not very glamorous, and is therefore often forgotten. We will focus on new research by Dr. Barry Hurwitz and a team of University of Miami researchers, including Dr. Nancy Klimas, who is wonderful and one of my favorite people in the CFS community (though I sometimes disagree with her, I've always had enormous appreciation and respect for her).

Addressing Cognitive Dysfunction ("Brain Fog") in CFS & Fibromyalgia

BY:
Published: August 8, 2012
Categories:

Brain fog can sometimes be the scariest part of the illness for some—especially professionals that had been functioning at a very high level. Though standard testing will often not pick up the problem (nor is it designed to), in some cases the brain fog makes it hard or even impossible to continue one's job. In other cases, brain fog can be mild.

I consider Gulf War Syndrome to simply be one more form of CFS/FM - and a new study supports this perspective.

Statins, Coenzyme Q10, and Pregnenolone for Addressing CFS

BY:
Published: August 7, 2012
Categories:

New research suggests that statins might have a very helpful antiviral effect at high dose, and they may even hold promise as an effective new therapy for CFS and fibromyalgia if special (and simple) precautions are added in. The new theory I will present today also offers new possibilities for helpful and easy testing and therapy, while offering an understanding of a large new piece of the CFS/FMS puzzle.

Although time will tell how big a role this new concept will play in CFS, it offers simple testing and therapy that can be helpful NOW!

CFS & Fibromyalgia Research Updates - the Sonoma Working Group

Published: August 7, 2012

This issue will be devoted to reviewing some of the recent new research related to CFS and fibromyalgia. In addition, I would like to report on the 2nd annual meeting of the Sonoma Working Group, which was held September 24-28, 2008 in Sonoma California. This group is composed of 30 of the world's leading CFS researchers and clinicians. Each year we are brought together to compare notes and teach each other what we've learned. We have also been offered what may be the largest CFS research grant ever given, with our instructions being to explore the causes of CFS and to determine how to address it effectively. I am honored to be the Chairman of the Protocols Committee for this study.

Smelly Gas a Clue to CFS Testing and Therapy

Bowel symptoms are a routine part of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis). These are caused by many problems including numerous bowel infections and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. The autonomic nervous system is what controls contractions that move food in the proper direction going from your stomach toward the colon and anus.

Am I Crazy? Understanding the Mind-Body Connection in CFS/Fibromyalgia

BY:
Published: August 7, 2012
Categories:

In medicine, we have a bad habit. If a doctor cannot figure out what is wrong with the patient, the doctor brands that patient a "turkey." Imagine calling an electrician because your lights do not work. The electrician checks all the wiring, can't find the problem, and says, "You're crazy. There's nothing wrong with your lights." You flip the switches and they still do not work, but the electrician just says, "I've looked. There's no problem here," and walks out the door. This is analogous to what many CFS patients experience. I apologize for the medical profession's calling you crazy just because we cannot determine the cause of your problem. It is inappropriate and cruel.

Addressing Excessive Sweating, Night Sweats, Hot Flashes

BY:
Published: August 6, 2012
Categories:

Excessive sweating (which can occur both at night and/or during the day) is a very common part of CFS, fibromyalgia, and menopause and is also very common even in those without these problems. This problem reflects poor functioning of the "autonomic nervous system" (which controls blood pressure, pulse and sweating) which is controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain.

A Simplified Methylation Protocol is Effective for Addressing Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia

BY:
Published: August 6, 2012
Categories:

I suspect that the words "methylation protocol" are, at first glance, intimidating. But if you will hang in with me for a few paragraphs, I would like to make this both understandable and useful. First of all, what is most important is that we have recently shown that the use of tiny doses of very specific combinations of vitamin B-12 and folic acid, has resulted in significant improvement in patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. That's the bottom line.
