Here you will find some of the most frequently asked questions regarding Fibromyalgia (FM), Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) and Unrelenting Fatigue (UF) which has been taken from our on-line survey results. For those who responded to the survey - thank you. For those who are looking for answers to these and other questions, keep asking until you find them, it is the only way you will find your path to wellness.

Because both these illnesses are multi-factorial in the cause, so must the treatment be multifactorial. The prevalent theory of how this illness attacks the body is as follows. The hypothalamus in the center of the brain is the seat of the sleep/wake center, all hormone control, and autonomic nervous system and imminently involved in the direction of the immune system.

While fatigue is a symptom of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a different disorder. Unfortunately, symptoms of CFS are often quite similar to fibromyalgia and, as a result, many fibromyalgia patients are mistakenly diagnosed with CFS. However, CFS and fibromyalgia do seem to be closely linked, with as much as 30% of people with fibromyalgia also suffering from CFS.

Remember, all eight glyconutrients (super sugars) found exclusively in Revivol™ make-up your body's glycoprotein's. Patients with CFS have reduced production of cell membrane glycoprotein activities, compared to non-CFS patients. Also, studies show, natural killer (NK) cell function (also dependent on normal cell surface glycoprotein's) was much lower in CFS patients, than patients without CFS. Revivol™ can significantly improve NK cell activity.

It most certainly is. Although CFS/ME and Depression do share some similar symptoms, they are completely different conditions. For one, Depression is a psychiatric condition, whereas CFS/ME is a neurological one. Depression is a very serious condition in it’s own right. And in fact, Depression can actually be a symptom of CFS/ME. To find out more about the World Health Organisation classification of ME and Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome as neurological conditions, click here...

Allergies per se do not produce fatigue. If you have strong allergic reactions (i.e., sneezing, itchy eyes, and/or wheezing), you might feel fatigued. However, you do not become fatigued from allergies alone - only from the degree of symptoms they produce. It is worth noting, however, that in one study, people with chronic fatigue syndrome had a higher incidence of allergy than the population as a whole. Whether or not this has any significance is not known.

Send charitable donations to the American Fibromyalgia Syndrome Association (AFSA). AFSA is in its 12th year of funding research projects on fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. For more information, visit www.afsafund.org. Although Fibromyalgia Network helps AFSA with in-kind services (e.g., office space, utilities, etc.), the two organizations are NOT the same.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and FM are alike in many ways. In fact, it is not uncommon for a person to have both FM and CFS. Both CFS and FM have pain and fatigue as symptoms. The main symptom of CFS is extreme tiredness. CFS often begins after having flu-like symptoms. But people with CFS do not have the tender points that people with FM have. To be diagnosed with CFS, a person must have: Extreme fatigue for at least 6 months that cannot be explained by medical tests or relieved by rest and

Answer: GP Herb® can be helpful. Mitral valve prolapse occurs in middle-aged and aged persons, due to a degenerative change of the valve. It creates an overloading of the heart cells and causes mitral valve insufficiency in severe cases. GP Herb® improves the nourishment and metabolism of the overloaded and weakened myocardium, thus benefiting the heart.

I mention Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) many times on this website. The main focus of this website is Orthostatic Intolerance (OI) which often is one of the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). I have included links and more information about CFS and its relationship to OI on the Links and More page.

The official diagnostic criterion of the Center for Disease Control is listed separately from Fibromyalgia. This disease is very similar to Fibromyalgia, but pain is a less prominent symptom. Put simply, if you are unusually tired or exhausted out of proportion but cannot sleep or wake un-refreshed from your sleep, you probably have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

According to the American Pain Foundation, chronic pain afflicts an estimated 70 million Americans resulting in 515 million lost workdays each year and $100 billion in costs. In addition to the direct costs, chronic pain diminishes the quality of life for many patients. Using chiropractic adjustments and a treatment known as Sympathetic Therapy, we work with the patient to help provide symptomatic relief from chronic intractable pain.

Answer: GP Herb® acts as a mechanism similar to that in the case of menopausal syndrome. It therefore, tends to be beneficial to persons suffering from PMS symptoms.

Answer: Various antioxidants act at various levels and by different mechanisms. GP Herb® induces the body's own production of SOD, a strong natural scavenger for free radicals, thus protecting the cells from free radical damage. It will also act in synergy with other antioxidants increasing the overall effects.

Answer: Yes it is. GP Herb® calms the brain, balances activity of the central nervous system, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, and adjusts the neuro-endocrine regulation of the genital system, thus relieving menopausal symptoms for both men and women.

Answer: In China for over two thousand years GP Herb® has been used to treat arthritis. There are some studies reporting that GP Herb® actually improved the symptoms of arthritis.

Answer: In addition to the elderly, researchers have found that people with specific health problems, or who live under certain conditions, are more likely to become high risk of oxygen deficiency. The researchers found that most serious diseases now appear to be caused by lack of oxygen. GP Herb® can increase oxygen to the brain, muscles, and central nervous system, decrease free radical damage, and increase immune function.

Answer: The stress caused by various strong environmental and psychological stimuli creates stress syndrome by which the equilibrium of the central nervous system is disturbed. This disturbance of the central nervous system upsets the normal regulation on the endocrine glands effecting all the various systems and organs of the body. This disturbance eventually affects the equilibrium and the interior stability (homeostasis) of the entire organism.
