The Relationship Between Infections & Fatigue

Chronic fatigue can overtake your life. The accompanying tiredness can prevent you from handling everyday activities.

The basic treatment for chronic fatigue is replenishing nutrient or hormonal deficiencies and removing toxicity from the body. Nutrient deficiencies could be B-12, iron, vitamin D, or magnesium. Hormonal deficiencies affect adrenals, thyroid, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Toxicity includes heavy metals, chemicals, toxins, molds, infections, allergies, emotions and electromagnetic radiation frequencies.

Everyone has a different combination of these factors contributing to chronic fatigue.

Another possible culprit is infection.

Infections & CFS

A stressful situation activates the adrenal gland. This up-ends the immune system so viral and bacterial relationships can be activated. Viral and bacterial infections can trigger chronic fatigue. 

The immune system may still react to a previous infection and cause more inflammation. Low-dose immune therapy can keep the body from overreacting to infections and their symptoms.
