Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME-CFS)

Condition
Tiredness where you feel like you have sand bags on your knees and legs, takes a lot to walk and move, collapsing, can't function well, need naps all day long

Important Notes

  • A high fat, high protein diet accelerates and worsens CFS. High dietary fat prevents glucose and trace minerals from entering cells efficiently. The nervous system requires consistent glucose delivery, and fat-heavy diets obstruct this critical pathway. Bone broth diets and similar high-fat cleanses can worsen adrenal fatigue and set people back significantly.
  • Caffeine is an immune system breaker, not a builder. People with CFS who rely on caffeine to function are taxing their already depleted adrenals and nervous system. Caffeine triggers viral activity and worsens the viral environment that drives CFS. The adrenal stimulation from caffeine is borrowed energy with a cost — it further depletes already burnt-out adrenals.
  • Cannot exercise or sweat out viruses — viruses remain in the liver, bloodstream, organs, connective tissue, and muscles regardless of exercise. Pushing through fatigue with intense exercise does not eliminate pathogens and can worsen the condition by further taxing the adrenals and nervous system. People on 'Mattress Island' with CFS are often told to just run more or work out more, which is actively harmful advice for those with true neurological CFS.
  • Make sure tinctures and supplements are alcohol-free. Alcohol-based tinctures can be problematic for people with CFS whose livers are already under stress from viral infection and heavy metal burden.
  • People with ME/CFS may not do well with large amounts of avocado. The high fat content can interfere with the glucose delivery the hypersensitive nervous system depends on. Small amounts may be tolerable but large portions should be avoided.
  • High fat high protein diet: A high fat high protein diet accelerates the condition
  • Toxic heavy metals: Accompanied by toxic heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum that create neurological fatigue
  • Toxic heavy metals: Accompanied by toxic heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum which create neurological fatigue
  • Burnt out adrenals: Adrenals have gone through a lot of fight or flight, nervous system gets beaten down
  • Epstein-Barr virus: All varieties of Epstein-Barr virus - there are over 60 varieties in six different groups dating back to the late 1890s that have mutated into different strains
  • Epstein-Barr virus: Any of the over 60 varieties of Epstein-Barr virus - people have different varieties, different strains
  • Epstein-Barr Virus: Any of the over 60 varieties of Epstein-Barr virus can cause CFS. Different people have different strains.
  • Epstein-Barr virus: Basic CFS is Epstein-Barr related chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Viral infections: Can be caused by Epstein-Barr, Epstein-Barr and shingles together, or Epstein-Barr, shingles and HHV6 combined
  • Epstein-Barr virus: Caused by Epstein-Barr virus
  • EBV: Caused by Epstein-Barr virus
  • Viruses: Caused by viruses that proliferate when fed certain foods
  • Hypersensitive nervous system: Central nervous system becomes hypersensitive and needs twice the glucose ratio
  • Multiple virus combinations: CFS can be caused by EBV alone, or EBV + shingles, or EBV + shingles + HHV-6, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex 1 and 2. Multiple viruses compound the fatigue.
  • Brain inflammation: CFS is brain inflammation - neurological fatigue from very mild brain inflammation that makes people unable to function
  • EBV: CFS is caused by Epstein-Barr virus
  • Epstein-Barr virus: CFS is Epstein-Barr related
  • Chlorinated water exposure: Chlorine from showers puts pressure on immune system when combined with EBV, creating overload situation
  • Viral issues: Chronic fatigue syndrome is a nervous system condition caused by viral issues
  • Viral symptoms: Chronic fatigue syndrome is one of the viral symptoms
  • Fatty liver: Develops because of bombarding with fats over years, liver becomes sluggish and not functioning good
  • Epstein-Barr virus: EBV causes chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Epstein-Barr virus: EBV entering the liver and causing chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Epstein-Barr virus: EBV is the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Epstein-Barr virus: EBV neurotoxins cause chronic fatigue. Different strains are more aggressive and create stronger neurotoxins that inflame nervous system
  • EBV neurotoxins: EBV neurotoxins inflame the central nervous system, creating 'neurological fatigue.' This is distinct from adrenal fatigue. If not recovering after a couple years, it is neurological viral fatigue, not adrenal.
  • Eggs: Eggs are the reason why we have chronic fatigue syndrome — they feed EBV, having been used to culture viruses in labs.
  • true_cause: Elevated viral load of EBV (whether detected on blood tests or not) creates neurotoxins that inflame central nervous system. Eventually weakens adrenals, liver, digestive system - feeling of 'low battery.'
  • EBV: Epstein-Barr virus causes chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Epstein-Barr virus: Epstein-Barr virus causes chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Viral infections: Epstein-Barr virus is the big one, along with strep bacteria
  • Epstein-Barr virus: Epstein-Barr virus is the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Pathogens: Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, shingles virus, HHV6, herpes simplex 1, herpes simplex 2 - these viruses create autoimmune disease and are behind mystery conditions
  • Herpetic viruses: Epstein-Barr virus, shingles, HHV-6, CMV, simplex viruses causing chronic fatigue
  • Epstein-Barr virus: Epstein-Barr was the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Cranial nerve inflammation: Inflamed cranial nerves from metals and viruses
  • EBV: Low grade Epstein-Barr virus causing chronic fatigue syndrome, creating neurotoxins that cause neurological fatigue
  • Viral neurotoxins: Low-grade viral infections release neurotoxins that get to brain and prevent peaceful sleep
  • Epstein-Barr virus: May have one or two Epstein-Barr viruses causing CFS
  • Toxic heavy metals as viral fuel: Mercury and aluminum serve as viral fuel — they create antagonistic neurotoxins. People with CFS are high in toxic heavy metals.
  • Epstein-Barr virus: Mold exposure brings immune system down, then Epstein-Barr virus comes up and creates chronic fatigue syndrome. EBV releases neurotoxins causing neurological symptoms.
  • Mold exposure: Mold exposure brings the immune system down, then EBV comes up and creates CFS.
  • Viral infections: Nerves get inflamed from viral infections, particularly when vagus nerve gets inflamed by low-grade viral infections
  • EBV: Neurological fatigue caused by EBV neurotoxins that hamper and weaken the nervous system
  • Epstein-Barr virus: Neurological fatigue from Epstein-Barr virus affecting the nervous system
  • EBV neurotoxin: Neurological fatigue from Epstein-Barr virus neurotoxin affecting central nervous system
  • Epstein-Barr virus: One of the bugs that causes chronic fatigue syndrome, raised in labs inside eggs
  • Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV): Over 60 varieties of EBV in six groups dating back to the late 1890s. More aggressive EBV strains create stronger neurotoxins in pronounced CFS cases. The virus starts in the liver and releases neurotoxins that hamper and weaken the nervous system.
  • Toxic heavy metals: People with chronic fatigue syndrome are high in toxic heavy metals
  • Brain stem problems: Problems in brain stem from metals and viruses
  • Epstein-Barr virus: Same virus that causes glandular fever and mononucleosis. People can have lifetime chronic fatigue after mono from ongoing EBV.
  • EBV: The Epstein-Barr virus has created a secret epidemic and causes chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Viruses: The true cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, ME, and chronic fatigue are viruses
  • Heavy metals feeding pathogens: Toxic heavy metals feed pathogen illnesses including CFS
  • Combined factors: Viral issue + bacterial issue (strep) + metals (aluminum/mercury) + domestic invaders (fragrances)
  • Viral infection: Virus creating CFS with brain swelling (ME/CFS)
  • Pathogens: Viruses like Epstein-Barr, shingles, herpes simplex 1 and 2, cytomegalovirus that are still in the liver, bloodstream, organs, connective tissue, and muscles
  • Sluggish liver and fatty liver: Years of high-fat diet makes the liver sluggish. Chronic viral infection starts in the liver where EBV resides.
