CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME

Do your patients ever complain of just being tired too much of the time?  It is likely that many if not most of your patients drag themselves through day after weary day with no idea how to regain the vitality long lost.

You can give your patients the vitality boost they need with NUTRI-SPEC.  How?  You don't need to give them mega doses of nutrients purported to be "good for energy."  You do not need to give them herbal drugs as stimulants.  All you need do is evaluate them with the NUTRI-SPEC objective testing system, then give them the specific combination of dietary and supplement recommendations indicated by their abnormal test patterns.  NUTRI-SPEC is the only way to find and fix the cause of the chronic fatigue.

There are two fundamental biochemical functions that are involved in virtually all your chronic fatigue patients:

1.  A loss of glycemic control.

2.  Inefficient electrolyte and fluid dynamics.

In other words, every person you know suffering from chronic fatigue has a problem with one or both of sugar or salt metabolism.

What can you do about it?  Test the person.

In only 8 minutes you can perform a complete NUTRI-SPEC profile of 46 tests, and in another couple of minutes interpret those tests to find out exactly why this individual has chronic fatigue.  What you will learn from your NUTRI-SPEC test interpretation is which Metabolic Control Systems are dysfunctional in this patient and are causing the breakdown in glycemic control and/or electrolyte and fluid dynamics.  In other words, a loss of glycemic control and/or abnormal fluid/electrolyte dynamics are the immediate causes of chronic fatigue -- but the ultimate causes are the metabolic control systems identified by NUTRI-SPEC testing.

The common NUTRI-SPEC metabolic imbalances that you will find in your chronic fatigue patients will include:

- Anaerobic Imbalance        - Electrolyte Insufficiency Imbalance

- Dysaerobic Imbalance       - Parasympathetic Imbalance

- Glucogenic Imbalance       - Potassium Excess Acidosis

- Ketogenic Imbalance

Each of these metabolic imbalances represents a control system that is failing in its duty to maintain sugar and electrolyte homeostasis.

Now, suppose you have two patients with identical chronic fatigue symptoms.  One of these patients has an electrolyte insufficiency as the ultimate cause of his condition, while the other patient has a glucogenic imbalance as the primary cause.  What does that tell you about the so-called "remedies" being hyped by the supplement salesmen for chronic fatigue?  Certainly you can see that the remedy offers no long term benefit unless it has some favorable impact on the metabolic imbalance causing the condition. 

You can also see the NUTRI-SPEC key concept of biological individuality here.  These two patients require entirely different individualized supplement and diet recommendations to correct the cause of their fatigue.

If all you are interested in is feel good remedies that have no lasting benefit -- then tell the person to drink a couple cups of strong coffee.  At least the caffeine is a lot cheaper than the over-priced junk sold by the natural food industry.  But if you want to correct fundamental causes, then you need an objective scientific system.

A study done at Johns Hopkins and reported in the Journal Of The American Medical Association claimed the discovery of an amazing treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome that resulted in improved energy levels in 76% of the patients tested.  What was the keystone of this phenomenally successful treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome?  Nothing more exotic than common table salt.  Think if it -- 76% of chronic fatigue sufferers felt significantly better doing nothing more than supplementing with salt.  But with NUTRI-SPEC you can be far more sophisticated and far more effective in your treatment of these patients than they were at Johns Hopkins.  You have a very specific and comprehensive protocol to determine exactly which electrolytes (and which other nutrients) each individual patient needs.

Another study showed that fully 72% of chronic fatigue sufferers have low serum levels of the amino acid phenylalanine.  Furthermore, the fatigue (and often the depression accompanying it) resolved in the vast majority of these patients with phenylalanine supplementation.  Does that mean that NUTRI-SPEC recommends phenylalanine as a "remedey" for chronic fatigue?  Certainly not.  NUTRI-SPEC gives you specific protocol indicating when phenylalanine would be beneficial for a particular patient, but also the specific indicators for when phenylalanine is contraindicated.

Your chronic fatigue patients are hypo-tonic weaklings.  They are a deflated balloon begging for you to pump them up -- with specific, individualized nutrition -- with NUTRI-SPEC.
