My journey in overcoming Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ("CFS") opened my mind to the body's ability to heal and overcome adversity. The path can be difficult, especially if alone.

Background and Recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

Within eighteen months of my mononecleious diagnosis, I had visited a dozen doctors, and despite feeling the worse I had ever felt in my life, all the doctors declared that the mono was just running its course and that I would feel better "soon". They said nothing of how I could change my diet, what supplements to take, or how stress reduction strategies could help me.

The next two years of my post-mono fatigue I would rate as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) (CFS diagnosis criteria), I trusted the mainstream medical establishment that I would get better with “time” or by “resting”, one doctor even told that diet wouldn't make any difference! However, after 18-months with no progress in my recovery, I started to take matters into my own hands. I was reluctant at first to seek out alternative/holistic medical professions and so I ended up taking the shotgun approach: trying every supplement, gadget, and protocol imaginable as soon as I read somewhere it may be helpful.
Eventually, I began to narrow down and target my healing approach - what worked, what did not work, and why. I have read hundreds of health and wellness books, medical textbooks, primary research and listened to voluminous amounts of lecturers and research discussions. This website contains the most important aspects of what I learned and the results of my trials and errors. My goal to help anyone, even one person, who may be in a similar situation find a quicker path to recovery and begin living their life again.

As the Chinese proverb goes: " A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Every little thing you do to improve your health - no matter how small - can add up over time to substantial and lasting changs.

Pyramid of Restoration

Despite a pyramid being used to describe the severely flawed serving size recommendation by the USDA in the 1990s, I will again use it here to describe the importance of the various aspects of optimal health and recovery. There are nuanced specificities to everyone's situation that don't always fit into a cleanly into the pyramid concept. For example, if you are drinking polluted water or breathing unclear air, you should prioritize adjusting those environmental factors above all else. However, as a long-run concept to achieve optimal health, the pyramid concept does aid in compartmentalizing and prioritizing the overwhelming amount of information out there.

What follows is my experience which will hopefully help others. Obviously, everyone’s body is different and those suffering from fatigue are at various stages and from various sources. Please keep that I mind if you proceed with any particular protocols I list. Do seek out a health care professional, particularly a functional practitioner who understands the real role of a doctor should provide and understands a holistic approach is best when healing. It shouldn't be understated, that you often have to put the pieces together from various sources to completely heal. Hopefully, the information provided herein will help you do that.
