Exhaustion
Many men who consult me have complained of constant fatigue but do not want to discuss this with their family, friends or work mates. They struggle through each day, but they often think there is nothing they can do about it and reject the idea of seeing a doctor for this so called minor complaint.
After much questioning, I often find that the fatigue has come about through continuing to work while suffering from the flu, a virus or bout of bronchitis, which all result in a lowered immune system. Men often work through these illnesses, and only later do they realise the effect they’ve had on their body. Blood tests often don’t indicate any specific ailment.
There is very little that the medical profession can offer and it is at this point that a good naturopath can try to restore the rundown state of the body that wasn’t given rest and recuperation when needed.
Sometimes after a virus you may never feel properly recovered, and if this continues long term it may be diagnosed as chronic fatigue syndrome. The following supplements should offer relief from exhaustion and chronic fatigue syndrome, and boost the immune system.
Supplements
- Two astragalus or cat’s claw (or combination) tablets each morning with breakfast. Continue for six to twelve months.
- a high dose of 100-200 mg needs to be taken daily for at least six to twelve months. It is the only natural substance that has been found through testing to revive the body after chronic fatigue. I now encourage men who have long working hours, travel commitments and stress
to take this enzyme daily to prevent exhaustion and to give them more vitality and energy. - An anti-oxidant tablet, two per day.
- One multivitamin B tablet with B 12 and folate twice a day.
- One Siberian ginseng tablet twice a day (optional), to help the body cope with stress.
