Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Diet

· Drink plenty of pure water.
· Eliminate caffeine and alcohol.
· Eliminate refined sugar and other refined carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates suppress immune function.
· Consume a diet of whole, preferably organic foods with an emphasis on lean meats, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.
o Pesticide residues have been found to be higher in chronic fatigue syndrome patients, therefore choosing organic foods is important.
· Increase dietary antioxidants through consumption of fruits and vegetables, especially blueberries.
· Focus on getting adequate high quality protein and fiber, both of which stabilize blood sugar.
· Identify and eliminate food intolerances. One study found that of chronic fatigue syndrome patients who eliminated wheat, milk, benzoates, nitrites, nitrates, food colorings and other additives from their diet, 90% reported improvement in severity of symptoms.

Glutathione in Natural Medicine

Practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) have long advocated the use of milk thistle for liver problems. It turns out that this herb works by modestly elevating glutathione levels. The mineral selenium also produces subtle elevations in glutathione by becoming integrated into the glutathione peroxidase.

Glutathione in Health and Disease

It is believed that glutathione has an important role to play in the prevention and treatment of disease. It may in the future be considered as important to health as an alkaline diet, exercise and alkaline lifestyle.

· Support and enhance gastrointestinal health.
· Support and enhance adrenal function.

The Master Antioxidant!!!

Over the past thirty years, researchers have explored the role of antioxidants in good health as well as the treatment and prevention of diseases involving oxidation or fermentation by metabolic acids.Well known and widely used antioxidants such as vitamin A, vitamin E and selenium neutralize acid.

They occur naturally in nature, but not in the body. They must be introduced as part of a balanced diet.Given the critical role of antioxidants in good health, it is not surprising that the body itself manufactures its own natural antioxidants.The most important of these is glutathione. Because all other antioxidants depend upon the presence of glutathione to function properly, scientists call it 'the master antioxidant.'Glutathione binds to toxins, forming a water-soluble complex - which is ultimately excreted in the urine or bile as waste.
