Dear Dr. Dan:
I am tired all the time, but my doctor tells me there's nothing wrong with me. What can I do?

Dr. Stan:
Chronic fatigue syndrome ("CFS") is an energy deficiency disease. For this you must check your hormones, including thyroid and free/total testosterone (or estradiol for a woman). Also, get antibody titers for Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Herpes Virus 6, and Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Candida. Natural hormonal support should always be given in fatigue patients for adrenals with DHEA and pregnenolone, thyroid, and possibly, testosterone (or estrone for a woman). An excellent supplement we use in our clinic is Corvalen (D-Ribose), which the body uses as a source for RNA that is needed in the ATP energy production process. IV vitamins, minerals, and amino acids can be very helpful in expediting recovery. Sleep is also important. Taking the supplement "Cortisol Manager" at night can help CFS patients normalize their sleep pattern. For more information, go to my Resource Library at http://www.newhopemedical.org/ and find the article on "Chronic Fatigue." I hope this helps!
Dr. Dan
