There are no drugs to deal with most of the viruses associated with CFS (excluding Homoeopathic Medicines), and indeed some of those present are not the cause of the illness but one of the effects. TREATMENT therefore concentrates on strengthening the immune system by a variety of methods.
Food allergies need to be identified and eliminated. They can be detected by a method known as Enzyme Potentiated Desensitisation (EPD). Extracts of foods are combined with an enzyme that stimulates the immune system to respond to the foods. This is administered by injection or by scratching the skin.
• Constitutional Homoeopathic TREATMENT by a qualified practitioner may help recovery from CFS.
• The stimulation and detoxification of the body’s metabolic processes is important in supporting the immune system. Measures include the control of Hypoglycaemia, Hyperventilation and the proliferation of Candida infection. Eating whole foods is recommended, especially organically grown ones, in order to eliminate chemicals and dietary toxins from the body. Dietary planning such as the twice a week rule is helpful. (All foods belong to one of five types and you should eat food from each group no more than twice each week).
• A special diet that includes Alfalfa tablets, Psyllium husks can help to cleanse the colon, but it is wise to consult a Doctor before embarking on this. Drinking up to 10 glasses of water each day (filtered or boiled unless you are sure that your water supply is good) is also recommended.
