Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has its roots in the immune system of the body. The syndrome is also called Chronic Fatigue and Immune Disorder.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is often caused by the failure of the body to become immune to viruses. CFS is caused by a virus known as the Epstein Barr virus. The body is unable to give an immune response to the inflammation of nerve pathways and this causes CFS. When the immune system fails to function, it can lead to mild to severe CFS. The immune system stops functioning or weakens and the body is open to attack from infection. The body’s ability to fight illnesses, infections and diseases on its own is weakened. CFS is generally treated by a qualified immunologist who can help renew the immune response capabilities of the body. Patients get relief from taking antioxidant medication, nutritional supplements and following an anti oxidant diet.
