Chronic fatigue is really an almost euphemistic term for quite a serious illness. Chronic fatigue is the result of a virus that has over run almost every organ in your body, and that has your immune system under serious siege. This article presents a very detailed medical explanation of the virus Chlamydia pneumoniae in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Don’t expect your doctor to understand or even be able to diagnose chronic fatigue. My doctor wanted me to take anti depression drugs. It is true that I did feel depressed when I had chronic fatigue, but I didn’t want to die (a typical thought in depression), I wanted to live, and I was depressed because I couldn’t do anything. In my experience, looking for a quick fix or not treating the problem at it’s very root, is a mistake that will only make the recovery take longer.

I have been able to largely reverse my chronic fatigue by eating a raw vegan diet consisting primarily of living food (sprouts). Also, it is important not to overlook the fact that health is a reflection of mind, body and spirit. My healing journey was primarily a spiritual journey of developing a positive feeling of excitement towards life in general. This then has become reflected in my body which now provides me with more energy to live a passionate and exciting life.

I learned this diet at the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida. They provide something called the “Life Change Program” where you have the opportunity to experience a 3 week immersion into this diet and lifestyle and you are provided with an excellent education into how your body and immune system function and what they require to achieve and maintain optimum health.

Here is a talk by Dr. Brian Clements the Director of the Hippocrates Health Institute.
