The link between Chronic Fatigue and your Immune System

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is also known as chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS). Chronic fatigue syndrome is an illness that may be triggered by an overactive immune system and an infection.

CFS is commonly accompanied by debilitating fatigue (extreme exhaustion and poor stamina), neurological issues, and flu-like symptoms. Some common symptoms can include headaches, tender lymph nodes, fatigue and weakness, muscle and joint aches, inability to concentrate

Functional Testing

The organic acids test (OAT) provides a comprehensive assessment of the body’s biochemical balance by measuring 76 metabolic byproducts in the urine, assessing:
  • Bacterial balance
  • Fatty acid metabolism
  • Intestinal health
  • Metabolic stress
  • Mitochondrial efficiency (energy production)
  • Mold/yeast overgrowth
  • Muscle function
  • Neurotransmitter supply
  • Oxalate markers
  • Oxidative stress
  • Toxin exposure
  • Vitamin deficiency

Treating Holistically

With the functional medicine approach, we assess the entire body.  We look back at past acute and chronic infections. Maladaptation to stress and heavy metal toxicity are also considered.
