Re: Thank you and what has worked for me

  I'm just beginning to think it's just like chronic fatigue-and if I tell other people I have chronic fatigue they don't look at me like I'm crazy. Anyway, I think that maybe the reason they haven't found a cure is because it's really a MIND problem-I learned that from the gupta programme-it's all very interesting, and I am going to continue to post on my progress until I am well.

Actually a lot of the confusion with chronic fatigue syndrome is that people want to think of it as a disease with a singular cause.  But it is not a disease, it is a syndrome.  Syndromes are not diseases, they are a group of symptoms that can have more than one cause.  For example, AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is a group of symptoms with multiple causes.  But I hear doctors and even so-called "AIDS experts" incorrectly calling it a disease.  The reason I bring this up is that this is the reason that they have no idea how to really address AIDS.  They think of AIDS as a disease with a single cause, which is not true.  I am not going in to a long explanation, but if you research the original definition of AIDS, HIV could not cause AIDS.  This is why the definition of AIDS was changed in the early 80s to fit the virus.  The problem therefore is that they are trying to use a one treatment fits all mentality for a syndrome that has multiple causes.  Chronic fatigue syndrome is no different.  Again, it is not a disease with a singular cause.  It is a syndrome (group of symptoms) with multiple causes.  For example, some things that can cause chronic fatigue can include viral infections, low thyroid, low adrenal function, various forms of anemia, congestive heart failure, COPD............
