Hello

Does anyone have any experience of adjunctive advice/treatments for a
patient with long term chronic fatigue syndrome. Of course the patient will
be receiving his remedy but I wonder if anyone has employed ideas such as
very gentle exercise or dietary changes or herbs etc and found anything
extremely useful.

Any advice welcome.

Thanks
Sally

As far as Adjuncts are concerned It really has to be individualised,
CFS covers such a wide range:
-don't use too many therapies at the same time

Look to food sensitivities, try excluding the most common, but no
really restrictive diets.
Check deficiencies and don't over do the supplements
Eat warm food, get a simple TCM book on eating for damp conditions
(most are in my experience)
Avoid stimulatnts obviously ( alc, canned drinks, coffee etc)

Do chi-kung if possible.
Human contact, understanding & and relaxation
+ Excercise at 25% max of ability

Occupy the mind- very important- excursions (sitting), sunlight-
reading easy to read books-not too much TV or computers (saps the
energy)

Give them time to aquire the energy to address the problem

I often give an adrenal support in the form of Borage MT.
