I suggest you do …
I suggest you do some reading. You will find that CFS is a disease with multiple causes. IBS for example has a thyroid connection.
If Chronic fatigue did not have a known cause, people would not get any better with Antibiotics/Antivirals, hormones and or nutritional supplements.
Actually the real name of Chronic Fatigue is Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysregualtion.

If you think the chronic fatigue is caused by bacteria, can a antibiotic kill the bacteria and stop fatigue

CFS is not a …
CFS is not a disease. It is syndrome.
A syndrome is a set of symptoms without a known cause. A disease has both a set of symptoms and a cause.
Syndrome does not equal disease. This is why they call something syndromes and some things diseases.
Example:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - No cause.
Irritable bowel Syndrome - No cause.
Lymes disease - known cause.
Sexually transmitted diseases - known causes.

Um, fatigue is not …
Um, fatigue is not the only symptom with the actual disease called chronic fatigue syndrome. There is a list of at least thirty other symptoms sufferers have. It’s not just about being tired and not getting enough sleep…how offensive.

i have always …
i have always believed that the mono i had at 16 had a huge to-do with why i am chronically fatigued…it hit me hard, that mono…i am now 38 years old and struggle for energy. if i have energy, it only lasts a few hours at most.
what i am wondering about is…what if we don’t have much money (due to wanting to sleep more than work!?!?) to get proper testing…i am on state paid insurance…would they test for cortisol? thank you…

Sorry to hear that …
Sorry to hear that sypher.
Never give up looking for a cause of your CFS. Every case of CFS has a cause, you just need to find the cause and treat it.
Do you have a good doctor doing loads of tests?
I bet if you had a proper thorough physical exam with loads of tests for infections, adrenal fatigue, thyroid problems, hormonal imbalances, vitamins & mineral deficiencies, chemical/heavy metal poisoning, gut problems, etc, etc. you would find some treatable abnormalities that could help.

Absolutley agree …
Absolutley agree with you Zild. I have a very severe case - been going through such a bad patch at the moment, that im in bed nearly 24hrs a day, and have been into ER 4 times in one month for episodes of becoming extremely weak, cold, with severe blood pressure drops to the point where i needed an ambulance - & that was just from getting up to get a drink. Now i have eaten more ‘perfectly’ in the past than most people i’ve known. All organic food, vege juices, it didnt ‘cure’ me at all.
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:22 pm
No offense but I …
No offense but I find it very hard to believe your story. If you’re wife was one of the worst cases in the world, she’d be almost dead. I know one of the worst cases in the UK and she is hospitalized, being tube fed and basically paralyzed.
Also I don’t see how switching to organic food can cure one of the worst cases of CFS in 3 weeks - that’s ridiculous.
Sounds to me like you’re just trying to promote a book.
The video is excellent and Dr. Bellonzi is spot on.
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:22 pm
hi! well it sounds …
hi! well it sounds to me you have the MONO (mononucleosis). I had it for like a month and your symptoms sound just like mine back then. my advice: go to an ER, get the monotest and rest, get plenty of rest and fluids since there is no cure for this virus. It needs to go away on its own. Hope it helps, take care.
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:22 pm
CFS cure??? We …
CFS cure??? We believe so 110%
my wife had Chronic Fatigue for 7 years, she was one of the worst cases world wide. We switched to organics and she was of perfect health within 3 weeks. Our whole family has never looked nor felt better. Our receipies are sourced from Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions which we highly recommend. Try it yourself, better nutrition worked for us, seriously you have nothing to loose.
Put CFS behind you, give it a try. ORGANICS and NOURISHING TRADITIONS BOOK.

Nobody mentioned …
Nobody mentioned taking calcium supplements and calcium is very important together with magnesium not only for bones but for several other reasons. I am taking Cal-Mag stress formula by NOW and Amino Complete and zinc and antidepressants I must say I feel a litte better.

Too high and too …
Too high and too low cortisol is very
prevalent particularly if you have anxiety
and stress problems. Don’t rely on hormone
replacement if you can bring your adrenals
hormones back into working order naturally.

I shot a video w/ Dr. Bellonzi talking about Caffeine yesterday. It will be uploaded sometime next week.
See the video “Caffeine is a Mental Disorder? - Psychology w/ Sandy”.
That video actually has some good nutrition facts about caffeine even though it’s a psychology video.
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:22 pm

I’ve been listening to your videos for a few months, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to do these I enjoy them very much!

A syndrome is …
A syndrome is collection of symptoms without a known etiology (cause) as opposed to a disease which in which the underlying cause is known.
Bellonzi practices something called Functional Medicine. It’s similar to trouble shooting a computer. Instead of covering up the symptoms, he does test in order to find what’s causes the symptoms in the first place and then seeks to eliminate the source.
