What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome [CFS] is a weakening disorder accompanied by a number of symptoms including severe physical fatigue and mental exhaustion. Research shows that patients with CFS have low levels of glutathione. The symptoms of CFS are similar to common health problems; therefore, it is not easily diagnosed. CFS is a condition that is not yet understood completely. The causes are uncertain. Studies have shown, however, that women are at a greater risk of developing CFS than men.
What are the symptoms of CFS?
Severe fatigue is the greatest symptom of CFS. It is accompanied by a number of other symptoms like sleeplessness, depression, poor concentration, cardiac and respiratory problems, poor immune system, headaches, joint pains, depleted glutathione levels etc. If these symptoms persist for more than six months, it can be an indication of CFS.
According to some researchers, regular exposure to environmental pollutants, stress, and infectious agents might lead to the development of CFS; however, the exact cause of CFS is unknown.
What is the available treatment for CFS?
Studies suggest that increasing glutathione levels in the body can help patients with CFS to a great extent. Glutathione increases energy and improves mental focus. It also acts as the body’s master antioxidant and detoxifier which may prevent the development of CFS.
