Has your Doctor Missed or Misdiagnosed this Most Common Cause of Fatigue?


I was recently feeling severely fatigued for no apparent reason, so decided to pay a visit to my doctor about this. Other than getting some blood tests done, and the usual  'get more sleep, get more exercise' advice, nothing helped to pick up my energy levels. In my case, there was no diagnosis, and no real solution.
I knew that I had to look further, and while doing my research, I found an amazing article on adrenal fatigue, written by Dr. Joseph Mercola.
There are a number of factors that overwork and fatigue your adrenal glands, and these are mostly due to all types of stress. 
I also learned why, and how easily, this diagnosis could be missed by doctors. And the sad thing is that this is not a rare disease - it's a common cause of fatigue - which will be experienced by around 80% of adults at some time, yet in the USA it is one of the most under-diagnosed illnesses. 
Signs & Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue

  • Fatigue and weakness, especially in the morning and afternoon
  • Brain fog
  • A suppressed immune system
  • Moodiness and irritability
  • Increased allergies
  • Cravings for foods high in salt, sugar or fat
  • Sweet and salty food cravings
  • Skin problems
  • Decreased sex drive/libido
  • Lightheadedness when getting up from sitting or lying down
  • Decreased ability to handle stress
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Poor memory


 Where to get help If you are feeling fatigued, and if you recognize that you have some of the above symptoms, then do yourself a favor and read Dr. Mercola's article as it will help you with regards to treatment protocols that will work for you. For further information I suggest checking out this article by Dr Josh Axe.

 This illness emphasizes the truth of the statement "All disease begins in the gut" made by Hippocrates over 2,000 years ago. 

 Apart from genetic diseases,  Hippocrates' statement has stood the test of time, even though it may have been forgotten by modern medicine in recent times.

 We to realize that if we want to be healthy and energetic again, we need to pay attention to how we care for our gut - not just with the right foods, but with reducing stress factors.
Wishing you good health always!

Hitting the Bullseye with treatment...

Many people would describe the treatment of Helicobacter pylori as a harrowing experience.  It doesn't have to be like this for you, because I am going to show you how to get this right the first time in the safest and most effective way. ---------------------- Firstly you need to get an accurate diagnosis. Bear in mind that there are many overlapping symptoms associated with gut health problems so diagnosis by symptoms is inaccurate and dangerous. Remember, a wrong diagnosis can lead to the wrong treatment. The GI-MAP and H. Pylori Stool Antigen (HpSA) tests are the most accurate tests after completion of your treatment. The cheap and simple blood test is accurate for the initial detection of H. pylori, yet totally misleading and inaccurate if you have already been treated for H pylori before.  There is a well-written article that explains which tests to avoid, and when - it's definitely worth a read - just CLICK HERE if you don't want to take risks ...

Treating H.pylori correctly - Your Gateway to Good Health

Image
Beyond any doubt, it's now a proven fact that your gut is your gateway to good health.  Regardless of your diagnosis, you need to look to your gut health for answers. Why?? Simply because 80% of your immune system is in your gut - this means that if your gut is healthy, your immune system is also healthy.  BUT... the reverse is also true. When your gut is unhealthy, it can cause more than just stomach pain, gas, bloating, or diarrhea. Gut imbalances have been linked to hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, eczema, rosacea, and other chronic health problems.  Getting and keeping your gut healthy is paramount to ensuring that you regain and maintain your good health in the future.  If you have been diagnosed with stomach ulcers and/or an infection of Helicobacter Pylori (aka H. pylori), you will probably find that you are presenting with a good few of the below  10 SIGNS of an UNHEALTH...

Inflammation - It's all about the Gut!

Image
Can what you eat influence chronic pain and illnesses? Current research says YES! Inflammation plays a major role in your overall health. Ever heard about Garbage In Garbage Out in computer lingo? Well, the same applies to our bodies because we get from our bodies what we put into them.  Junk food is never going to manifest in peak performance. So why feast on inflammatory foods if you don't want an inflamed system? Some inflammatory foods should be eliminated from your diet altogether, while on the flip side there are other foods can have important anti-inflammatory properties.  The nutritional foundation of chronic illness has been known to natural medicine practitioners for many years - basically the idea that our bodies can heal themselves if fed with the right foods has been around since Hippocrates. It seems senseless (even criminal) that western/modern medicine does not utilize this basic, proven knowledge.  If you suffer from chronic pain, your ...
