naturopathy for chronic fatigue syndrome

Fibromyalgia is an increasingly common syndrome which is now thought to affect about 4% of the population. It often coexists with chronic fatigue syndrome. Homeopathy is usually successful in its management, as clinical trials have shown. This article by Julie Daniluk, describes how fibromyalgia is linked with chronic inflammation, and how dietary changes that help heal inflammation are essential. Patients also often have low serotonin levels and clinical depression. See our Perth clinic pages: www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-and-fibromyalgia-perth.asp and

This is an interesting finding that at least validates the experience of patients with fibromyalgia. It is one small part of the puzzle. However, it begs the question of what causes these vascular issues. The holistic perspective of naturopathy and homeopathy steps outside these questions to look at the patient as a whole, and homeopathy in particular gets good results when prescribed to the whole person.

Healing the gut is an important priority in patients with CFS, as this research shows. It improves the immune response and helps clear the mental fog, through the involvement of the gut in neurotransmitter production. At our Perth clinic this is achieved by focus on diet and through homeopathic treatment as outlined on our page: http://www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-and-fibromyalgia-perth.asp 

There have now been several clinical trials confirming the efficacy of homeopathy in fibromyalgia. This article discusses this research in detail. At our Perth clinic we see many patients with this condition and see good results from homeopathic treatment, as outlined on our web page: http://www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-and-fibromyalgia-perth.asp 

The researchers make clear that this does not disprove a viral cause of CFS. It is just not this virus. At our Perth clinic we do see the post-viral connection in many of our patients and find that homeopathic treatment to detox specific viruses helps many of them. I tend to believe it is a mult-factorial problem with not one cause in every individual. See our page: http://www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-and-fibromyalgia-perth.asp

At our Perth clinic homeopathy is primarily used to treat fibromyalgia, but supplementation is sometimes a useful adjunct. Our approach is explained on our page: http://www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-and-fibromyalgia-perth.asp 

Chronic fatigue syndrome is among the most common things treated by homeopathic medicine at this Perth clinic. Seasonal affective disorder is a frequently encountered variety, and not all cases fit the full category of CFS. This pilot study shows the positive effect of a homeopathically prepared remedy. In our case all treatment is individual. See the page on our site: www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-and-fibromyalgia-perth.asp

This study, published in the latest issue of the journal Gut Microbes is the first to show a probiotic can influence not only the mucosal immune system but also the systemic immune  system in humans. Patients with three inflammatory conditions were recruited: ulcerative colitis, psoriasis and chronic fatigue syndrome. After the trial all three conditions had reduced biomarkers of inflammation

Canadian homeopath Kerry Walker found healing for her fibromyalgia through homeopathy, meditation and spiritual insight. These things are also the focus of treatment at our Perth clinic, as described on this page: http://www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-and-fibromyalgia-perth.asp 

This is a good article on the spiritual and emotional challenges facing the patient with chronic fatigue syndrome/ME or any illness which is not well understood. See our Perth clinic page: http://www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-and-fibromyalgia-perth.asp 

The chocolate used in this study contained no milk and had a high cocoa content. Dark chocolate is generally more than 80% cacao bean. In our Perth clinic we recommend organically grown pure ground cacao powder added to food or smoothies. It is believed that the high polyphenol content is responsible for increased serotin that improves feelings of wellbeing. Epicatechin also boosts blood flow and may have benefit in both CFS and fibromyalgia. See: http://www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-and-fibromyalgia-perth.asp 

Fibromyalgia is a very debilitating condition condition that sometimes accompanies chronic fatigue syndrome. This is one of the best randomised controlled trials of individualised constitutional homeopathy (for this or any condition), as practised in this Perth clinic for fibromyalgia, and outlined on our page: http://www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-and-fibromyalgia-perth.asp 

At this Perth naturopathic clinic we see at least three patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and/or fibromyalgia daily, and homeopathy provides consistent results, just as this randomised controlled trial suggests www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-and-fibromyalgia-perth.asp
