Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Sue I have a collection of things that, combined, give me energy. The most recent ones, products from Neuroscienceinc.com, recommended after their urine test, interpreted by my chiropractor, are causing me to use less of the rest: D,l-phenylalanine homeopathic growth hormone. tincture of St. 's Wort Herbs Etc. pituitrophin PMG (extract) by Standard Process Propax with NT Factor a special multivitamin " plus " Vitamin c and b12 injections contribute some. a very little bit of sublingual DHEA and green tea, but not quite daily, and only one cup. The main problem I have with energy is not yet being able to manage all this stuff in a way that I do not feel very empty/ withdrawing in the evenings. If I took enough to avoid that feeling, I would never get to sleep. Adrienne Has anyone found anything to help energy??? I have so little energy anymore. I can barely do anything. I am extremely weak. Has anyone found anything to help??? How about something like Adderall? Thank you! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 One thing I am certain that helps in such cases is minimising my functioning level.Getting fresh air,good food and resting. No other thing helped me. oh. Of course you may try natural or synthetic cortisone. best wishes. Nil Re: Has anyone found anything to help energy??? > > " I have so little energy anymore.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Sue>> I have so little energy anymore. I can barely do anything. I am extremely weak. Has anyone found anything to help??? How about something like Adderall? Thank you! I use Salt/C and on bad days add licorice or other adrenal support. With out Salt/c I am bedridden within 4-5 days, which is how I was before I started using it. With Salt/C I can work a few hours each day (at home), spend time with the family at the neighborhood swim pool, go out for an hour or two a few times a week, tolerate chemicals and environmental allergens better, have better digestion, etc. Before Salt/C I would say my energy level was 10% of pre-CFS. With Salt/C I jumped up to about 30% of my old self, which was huge. I have also added EMF blocking and gentle herbal cleansing and that pushed my energy level up to around 50%, plus some of my worst problems are reversing, including severe muscle wasting. Also I can drive short distances again and also walk small distances, pre salt/c and the other measures I was restricted to walking about 75 meters in a day, could not work, could not focus enough to drive, and was in a downward spiral. In my experience CFS is multi-factorial, and every time you find a factor and treat it you get just a little more help. So the challenge is to find your personal factors and work on them. Salt/C is in my experience one of the best treatments for CFS. That does not mean it will work for everyone, but for some people it approaches cure. It is cheap, and it is also a multi-factorial therapy in the sense that it serves many functions, depending on how you use it. I believe that among other things it helps glutathione status, lowers dysbiosis, addresses sodium channel problems we have due to neurotoxins, kills some bad bacteria in the intestinal tract and possibly also in the lymphatic system, and supports the adrenal gland. --Kurt www.kurtsprotocol.blogspot.com <http://www.kurtsprotocol.blogspot.com/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 This is very interesting. I was on a salt/C online group for a while. I haven't started the protocol yet, but as I understand it, it's for lyme and co-infections. Someone in that group mentioned that humans on the whole used to consume far more salt than they do now and that it's a natural antibiotic. Remember salted foods for preservation? And it's common knowledge animals will travel great distances to lick salt. We had horses and always! had salt licks for them and even put them out for wild animals. Are we in some trouble now due to the fad of low salt diets? Hmmm. Something to think about. Kurt R <kurt@...> wrote: Sue>> I have so little energy anymore. I can barely do anything.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Recuperation - first thing that has helped me increase energy in years. I have mycoplasma and borrelia infections. Also Recuperation seemed to help my orthostatic intolerance, but way beyond just taking extra salt. I've done a lot of antibiotics and many supplements for the mycoplasma and Lyme but this is the only thing that has helped restore normal energy. I hope to start the salt/C protocol soon. (I have also taken injected synthetic growth hormone for years and thyroid meds - still Recup is it for me. a Carnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I second the recommendation on l-carnitine. Do a google search and you'll turn up lots of benefits with circulation, liver function, energy, etc.. Also check to see if you're getting enough protein. Carbs will often put one to sleep, which is why many recommend to not eat too much protein later at night -- you may be awake or tossing and turning all night... d. > Sue>> I have so little energy anymore.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I have been surprised in the last two months to find my energy being sparked by NADH, which I'd found ineffective in the past. I happened to came across a low-priced brand at iHerb, something like $15 for 30 10 MG., sublinguals. So I ordered it. The sublingual 10 MGs I had used in the past were soft oblong pink tablets, but these were quite compressed and rather spherical. They take a much longer time to dissolve. Anyhow, I get a delayed reaction-1-2 hours-with a spurt of energy that goes a few hours. I don't notice " paying a price " with an ensuing burn-out crash-just back to my usual state. Anyway, it's something where you find out right away (first or second try) if it's doing any good. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Janet, Either CMC salt tablets or natural unprocessed sea salt seems to work. Most people experiment a bit to find out what works best for them. Personally I like RealSalt, but do still take the tablets sometimes. They are far more convenient when away from the house. Other brands of salt tablets do not seem to work as well, the CMC is designed for medical use, so probably processed at a lower temp, without additives. --Kurt RE: Has anyone found anything to help energy???

Thank you, Janet in San Diego Kurt R <kurt@... <mailto:kurt%40isrd.com> <mailto:kurt%40isrd.com> > wrote: Sue>> I have so little energy anymore. I can barely do anything. I am extremely weak. Has anyone found anything to help??? How about something like Adderall? Thank you! I use Salt/C and on bad days add licorice or other adrenal support. With out Salt/c I am bedridden within 4-5 days, which is how I was before I started using it. With Salt/C I can work a few hours each day (at home), spend time with the family at the neighborhood swim pool, go out for an hour or two a few times a week, tolerate chemicals and environmental allergens better, have better digestion, etc. Before Salt/C I would say my energy level was 10% of pre-CFS. With Salt/C I jumped up to about 30% of my old self, which was huge. I have also added EMF blocking and gentle herbal cleansing and that pushed my energy level up to around 50%, plus some of my worst problems are reversing, including severe muscle wasting. Also I can drive short distances again and also walk small distances, pre salt/c and the other measures I was restricted to walking about 75 meters in a day, could not work, could not focus enough to drive, and was in a downward spiral. In my experience CFS is multi-factorial, and every time you find a factor and treat it you get just a little more help. So the challenge is to find your personal factors and work on them. Salt/C is in my experience one of the best treatments for CFS. That does not mean it will work for everyone, but for some people it approaches cure. It is cheap, and it is also a multi-factorial therapy in the sense that it serves many functions, depending on how you use it. I believe that among other things it helps glutathione status, lowers dysbiosis, addresses sodium channel problems we have due to neurotoxins, kills some bad bacteria in the intestinal tract and possibly also in the lymphatic system, and supports the adrenal gland. --Kurt www.kurtsprotocol.blogspot.com <http://www.kurtspro <http://www.kurtspro <http://www.kurtsprotocol.blogspot.com/> tocol.blogspot.com/> tocol.blogspot.com/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't perpetuate the myth that the daily injections are 'nasty' - the needle is very small and short - as thin as a hair or electrolysis needle. The point of injection is anywhere you can 'pinch a little fat' (easy for most of us) and there are few nerve endings exposed when you do this, the needle only goes in maybe 3/4 " at most and the amount injected is so tiny it doesn't change the surface of the skin at all. I sued to be the worst when it ame to needles, but to call these 'nasty' is to call a mosquito bite 'brutal', as -that- itches and swells unlike a growth hormone shot.

My GSH shots definitely qualify as full- blown nasty, with two-inch needles that have made a pincushion of my nether quarters. While the effect is good enough to make them worth enduring, I wish I could say they were mere mosquito bites. Still, Dr. T wasn't eager to push me in the HGH direction, and I was eager enough not to go there. Maybe sometime in the future we'll discuss it again, but not now -- not as long as all this other stuff is doing so well for me. I'm glad to hear from someone who's tried it and gotten a good result, though. This is a hugely popular and very controversial therapy for non-PWCs, and I've wondered what it might do for us.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Growth hormone shots are easy - use a little short subdermal needle in the stomach or thigh. I wouldn't take injected synthetic growth hormone without the testing and oversight of a knowledgeable endocrinologist. That way you also have a good chance of insurance covering the cost. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
