Chronic Fatigue

If you suffer from chronic fatigue, you are not the only one. Millions of Americans suffer from this disorder. Western medicine has little to offer. Obviously good nutrition and rest can help, but ultimately these are not enough for many people. Chronic fatigue is the result of an "exhaustion syndrome" where you never seem to be able to catch up on your energy. You wake up exhausted, stay exhausted all day, and go to sleep exhausted. This results in poor mental functioning, depression, eating disorders, job instability, relationship problems and ultimately spiraling health problems. There is nothing better for overcoming chronic fatigue than the Chinese tonic herbs. Thousands of people, including the founder of this company, have found salvation from chronic fatigue through these incredible tonic herbs.  More information...

Formulations for Chronic Fatigue

Super Adaptogen, Ron Teeguarden’s Super Pill, Ginseng Nutritive Combination, and Ginseng and Astragalus Combination are excellent adaptogenic Qi formulations for building the energy back to full strength.

Chronic exhaustion will not be overcome, however, until the Jing energy is replaced. Great Jing formulas that you can use include Shou Wu Formula, Return to Youth Formula, Imperial Garden, Strength Builder, Primal Essence Restorative, Ant Essence Capsules, Super Essence Restorative, Supreme Creation, and others.

Since the immune system is compromised, it is advisable to consume certain immune tonifying herbs that help to regulate immune functions, such as Reishi Capsules, Supreme Protector, Protector 2000, and/or Four Kings (100 Caps) $36.00 Formula. Cordyceps Capsules can be extremely effective at building back the immune functions and providing energy.

Ginseng Products such as Ginseng Sublime (2 oz) $39.00 are often very effective when used in combination with these other formulations. Gynostemma is also very effective. Spring Dragon Tea can be absolutely miraculous.


Discussion

Chronic fatigue arises out of the inability of the body to cope with the stresses of life. Secondarily, infections can set in that cause further havoc. Chronic fatigue is often associated with Epstein-Barr virus or systemic Candida infections, but these conditions are not in fact the cause. They occur because the body has lost its resistance. When the body regains its power, these conditions will cease.

Try as you may to combat certain symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, you will fail until Jing and Qi are replenished and until you are protected. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "it is all right to become fatigued, but never exhausted." The fact is, what we call Chronic Fatigue Syndrome should really be called Chronic Exhaustion Syndrome.

Exhaustion is a condition associated with Jing, our deepest energy. Jing is the primal power of our life. It is like our battery. When it is drained, our whole system becomes fatigued. Exhaustion sets in. You wake up each morning exhausted and cloudy. Depression is very common among people suffering this disorder. The solution lies in building back the Kidney energy. Herbs such as Polygonum, Lycium fruit, Cordyceps, Deer Antler, Rehmannia, Morinda, Dendrobium and Ant build back our Jing, often quite rapidly. They form the basis of all the great Jing tonics. There are a couple dozen great Jing tonics, and they will be found in the formulations suggested above.

Simultaneously, we need to build back our Qi. This is the energy we gain from eating and breathing. Ginseng and Gynostemma-based products grow our Qi. Ant and Tibetan Rhodiola are also excellent Qi tonics. Again, the formulations listed above are the most powerful Qi tonics known to mankind. They can do the job.

Protection is provided by double-direction herbs that have immune modulating and cleansing capabilities such as Reishi, Cordyceps, Agaricus, Lycium polysaccharides, Reishi spores, Maitake, and Astragalus. These are a must in a program designed to overcome Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Bupleurum formulas are necessary for a while when first trying to overcome Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. They tend to be anti-viral, they cleanse the liver and other parts of the body, including the lymph system, and they regulate energy.
