5 New articles on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome added to CFSResearch

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

Today I have added 5 new articles on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to my website.

2 articles are out of the Townsend Newsletter for Doctors and Patients (

issues november and january 2001 ).

The first article discusses the potential of L-carnitine, Q10 and essential

fatty acids as possible treatments for CFS. The article lists some studies

on all 3 supplements with beneficial results for certain subgroups of CFS

patients.

In the 2nd article, Majid Ali, MD explains, in lay terminology, his theory

concerning the underlying causes of fibromyalgia. Dr. Ali asserts that the

fatigue, brain fog, and muscle pain are signs of oxygen deprivation caused

by the build-up of oxidants and the resulting oxidative damage. Also, Dr.

Ali believes that oxygen deprivation and fibromyalgia can be reversed. An

intesting article for both CFS and Fibromyalgia patients

Here are the titles of the other 3 articles:
