Chronic fatigue drains our resources. As a first step in dealing with fatigue, we must have an idea about how our body maintains its health. During conception, we were set-up by Nature with the ability to maintain our health and our functions. Yes, you can heal yourself but only if you have enough resources. By definition, chronic fatigue means that your resources have been depleted.

Disease is actually a fight for health. And symptoms represent that fight. But symptoms should come and then go away after restoring one to balance. Symptoms that go on and on mean that the fight to restore health isn’t being won. This is the nature of chronic fatigue.

Inflammation is actually generated by the body in an effort to heal itself. But, a great deal of medicine’s efforts have been the development of drugs to fight inflammation. The result is that there is a reduction in inflammation, but the causes of inflammation remain and continue to damage your body.

Inflammation is a fight for health and there are five cardinal signs:

* swelling * loss of function * heat * pain * redness

These five aspects of the inflammation response are generated as one becomes afflicted with chronic fatigue.

Chronic Fatigue: Why Do So Many People Have It?

Remember, what I wrote in the opening about the amount of healing capital that you start off with in your healing bank account. So, fatigue occurs when there is less healing capital available to deal with the stresses of life that drain us.

We know that all forms of fatigue come from many diverse causes:

* lack of exercise * diet * drug-induced changes in cellular function * environmental pollutants * too much stress * emotional stress * post viral

These represent some of the causes, but that is much too complicated for medicine to deal with because it needs one disease/one cause to craft a picture.

There are no drugs for the symptoms of chronic fatigue. Since there are no accepted causes, effective therapies do not exist. Is it likely there will ever be any drugs? I don’t think so. The symptoms are from the body fighting for its health. The way to help is to help the body do what it’s trying to do.

In alternative thinking, symptoms represent the body’s fight for health and therapies must support them. People are now looking for alternative disciplines in their fight against chronic fatigue. This isn’t supported by medicine and you have to be careful as there are a lot of for-profit people selling lots of misinformation.

If we accept that symptoms are the fight for health, then squashing them is not what we want to do. We want to strengthen the healing capacity of the body and help it do what it’s trying to do. The body wants to get rid of anything that’s bothering it and return itself to balance and health.
