Twenty Two Year Old Nephew With Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Posted by S.h. (Los Angeles, California, U.s.a) on 08/31/2011

Desperately seeking for a cure for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). My nephew who is 22 years of age has been diagonised with M.E. He lives in UK. At present he has so many symptoms related to M.E. and is walking with crutches. He cannot walk for more than 2 mins without being tired. His mind is foggy and also cannot tolerate brightness. Has body and muscle aches and pains as well as chest pains and palpitations. The doctors have increased his uptake of vitamins B12 and D3 as well as CoQ10. Since this is more of a neurological disease and is due to some viral infection as well related to Chronic fatigue syndrome since he is very tired all the time, can you kindly advise a remedy for it. Many thanks and God bless.

EC: For those who don't know, ME is another name for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is the most common name[1] used to designate a significantly debilitating[2] medical disorder or group of disorders[3] generally defined by persistent fatigue accompanied by other specific symptoms for a minimum of six months, not due to ongoing exertion, not substantially relieved by rest, nor caused by other medical conditions.[2] The disorder may also be referred to as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS), or several other terms.

If possible, I would try out the natural remedies for Lymes disease. It appears that many health ailments are a result of Lymes and yet not diagonsed. The Lymes test is also not very accurate unless it is a live blood test done. As far as I understand, Lymes is difficult for doctors to diagnose.

I'd suggest Kelp tablets. Its not only hyperthoridism which the lack of iodine causes but the fatigue syndrome as well. I remember seeing a good Doco. On a group of Chimanzees that occasionaly went on a safari led by the matriarch of the group, they spent a couple of days around a rock outcrop and spent their spare time licking the rocks to up, their mineral intake. We as humans seem to have lost a few of these basic drives when it comes to basic minerals. A few years ago this trace element was maintained by just washing the milk churns out with an iodine solution.. But now a different process is used.. Hence a national iodine deficiency. Plus the debilitations that the lack of incurs.

In the womb the Ambiotic fluid is a dead ringer for sea water, it contains all of these trace minerals. Even blood itself is very similar. So wouldnt it be wise to maintain the same mineral load that existed in the Ambiotic fluid but in our own blood? The lack of any one of these minerals which are essential for life on earth must have, a dramatic effect on the health of an individual. Children are being born with Arthuritis, is this due to the mothers total lack of dietry Boron? It's only recently becoming known what the effects of the lack thereof causes. Kelp tablets contain just about all the trace elements. Try living without.. Iron potasium magnesium sulphur copper iodine boron even lead and murcury are needed in the miniscule correct amounts.. Just remove potasium and it wont be long before your heart starts to skip beats. Modern foods are grown quickly for profit, and dont have the trace elements in their growing medium for them to uptake.

As a practicle example, when the highlanders were removed from the highlands of Scotland for sheep, they had to exist in small Crofts of land by the sea. It wasnt long before their animals were grazing on seaweed, and all their vegetables were growing in a seaweed composted growing medium. It was these people that made Victorias Army, and gave Queen Victoria her Empire. They were hardy and strong, in an age of debilitations and sickness. This could very well have been due to the fact that they were the only people at that time, that had a full uptake of essential elements in their diet. Today we only have to look to Okinawa, to find people living healthily into the hundreds, who exist on a rich seafood diet. This is a Basic which needs to be stressed, if looking for a cure for some ailment, it pays to try the simplest thing first.

For myalgic encephalomyelitis, the most important remedy is B3, lysine, selenium, zinc and threonine. CoQ10 briefly helps, but it is expensive and any more is ineffective, but a more effective one than CoQ10 is alpha lipoic acid and acetyl L carnitine. The B3 niacinamide (not niacin in any remedies!) is taken 250 to 500 mg in the evening.

It has to be understood that post virus is a virus, the only difference between getting it or having post viral, is virus is not active in the blood but is hidden inside the nervous area where the immune system cannot reach. The only ones that can reach is zinc, selenium, B3, lecithin, and threonine. The lysine AT LEAST, for the first three days is given hourly (will raise the white blood cells) for four doses in morning, and four doses in evening GIVEN for 3 days. I have people who can't stick to the 3 day schedule and it doesn't work, the lysine is 1000 mg each, or 1/3 teaspoon is approximately given in powder form. The threonine is given also 1/4 or 1/3 teaspoon when lysine is given. But to make virus die of zinc acetate, 15 - 30 mg is given for about 1 month mostly, but that depends on zinc status, but most of us are low anyway. The selenium can be given with no definite time limitations but is is 200 mg x 2, for at least a month. The lecithin must be in granulated powdered lecithin, is taken at least 1 teaspoon a day to 4 teaspoons a day, and if you can afford it, N acetyl cysteine is 100 mg x 2, a day, but is given with alpha lipoic acid and vitamin C 500 mg, and acetyl L carnitine helps too. The CoQ10 has been popular amongst healers because it increases CoQ10 which they found to be low in most ME conditions, but you're not solving the cause. The cause is the virus eating up the body's CoQ10, so that's really no cure, unless you kill the virus, with what I always used, which is at least lysine, but other supporting ones especially zinc acetate.
