SYMPTOMS
- A continual feeling of exhaustion.
CAUSES - Fatigue
is a symptom pointing to other problems; it is not a
disease itself. Chronic fatigue is generally caused
by a high-fat and refined carbohydrate diet, along with
emotional stress. Any of the following only adds to
the exhaustion: drugs, caffeine products, smoking, alcohol,
poor eating habits.
Chronic fatigue can forewarn of an undetected problem
such as anemia, hypoglycemia, diabetes, allergies, malabsorption
of nutrients, candidiasis, poor circulation, hypothyroidism,
Epstein Barr virus (EBV), mononucleosis, or cancer.
It can also be caused by weight loss, obesity, and,
if characterized only by a lack of energy, boredom.
TREATMENT
-
Obtain
adequate rest, exercise, and a well-balanced diet.
-
Deficiencies
of vitamin B complex, C and D, or iron may cause fatigue.
Also needed: vitamins A, pantothenic acid, B12, folic
acid, C, E, iron, calcium, magnesium. Acidophilus
is very helpful to improve digestion and the production
of certain B vitamins in the bowel.
-
Exercise
every day outdoors. Try to induce some perspiration.
Also helpful are ice-cold foot baths, daily morning
barefoot grass walks, alternative hot and cold showers,
"salt glow" skin rubs, and a dry friction
rub with a skin brush.
