   most of the vitamins sold are synthetic,toxic or mislabeled.so unless you have some knowledge about supplements,you most likely are wasting your money.you can find useful information at http://4health411.com click on the 10 secrets prompt.chronic fatigue syndrome is quite common and it is usually caused by your body not able to get the right nutrients from the food you are eating.depending on your age,you may not be properly digesting your food.

   I was given this article on Chronic Fatigue that may be of help to you.

   Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

   Transfer factor has been used in chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome, especially if a viral etiology can be found. It has had varied success, although one may need to use increased dosages. If polyvalent transfer factor is not successful, the use of antigen- (or disease-) specific transfer factor may need to be explored.(33)

   In elderly patients with cellular immunodeficiency and chronic fatigue syndrome, age-related decrease in recovery occurred after treatment with transfer factor.(34) Success with transfer factor in chronic fatigue syndrome secondary to human herpes virus 6 (HHV6), genital or labial herpes, and recurrent ocular herpes has been well-documented.(35-37) A study on the effect of transfer factor on the course of multiple sclerosis showed that it retarded the progression of the disease in mild to moderate cases.(38)

   The Treatment
   Treatment with transfer factor is dose dependent. In viral infections, one usually starts with three capsules three times a day. The dose is then tapered down to one capsule three times a day. That dose is maintained in cases of chronic viruses, chronic herpes infection, chronic fatigue secondary to CMV or EBV, chronic colds, and impaired resistance. If there is any flare-up in viral infections, the dose can be increased to three capsules three times a day.
   Usually, patients report decreased susceptibility to colds, decreased nasal symptoms (for instance, postnasal drip and chronic sinus symptoms). In allergic conditions, an adult starts with two capsules three times a day, increasing to three capsules three times a day if symptoms get worse. Again, the dose is tapered to a maintenance level with amelioration of allergic symptoms.

   In cases of chronic fatigue syndrome, patients start on three capsules three times a day. One may need to increase the dose depending on the response. Doses of four to five capsules three times daily can be used as an adjunct cancer treatment for patients undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, with a resulting decrease in cellular immune function.

   Transfer Factor for Immune Disorders
   • Cancer
   • Autoimmune states, e.g., lupus and ulcerative colitis
   • Chronic fatigue
   • Fibromyalgia
   • Lyme disease (certain subsets)
   • EBV, CMV, HHV6, and other viral infections
   Various immune function tests, especially those measuring CMI, can be done to gauge maintenance dosage. One can also perform a cytokine panel, measuring IL-2, IL-4, IFN-U, IL10, etc. An elevated IL-2 and interferon gamma would indicate a TH1-predominant state, while an elevated IL-4 and IL-10 would point to a TH2-dominated state. NK cell activity, which is usually decreased in cases of cancer, is increased secondary to transfer factor administration, and can be periodically measured.

   CFS is an imbalance and a result of candida yeast overgrowth.I would do 4 things to get you on track and feeling great.My father had CFS and has been free of CFS for the last 10 years by doing what I will recommend, it’s not easy but a person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine – what this means is ovetime our bodies become toxic from all the processed foods, the electromagentic chaos (cell phones, flourescent lighting),anti-biotics, chlorine (showers,washing hands, tap water),stress, the list is too large to list, but you get the picture, though. and so we have to recover our body from all this junk we put in our body.

   So to recover from CFS:
   1)Eat only Certified Organic Foods
   2)Stay Away from Sugar (sugar feeds yeast)
   3)Take a good quality probiotic click here for that

   4)Colloidal Silver
   5)Take Kombucha (health Food Store)
   6)Certified Organic Oil Flax Seed (Barleans Only) 1tsp morning and evening (watch your cholesterol drop on this)
   7)Juice Green veggies, carrots, celery
   thats it!

   Probiotics is defintely a must!! Probiotics are the good bacteria that the body must have in order to properly digest food and it’s nutrients. Probiotics and the human digestive system have a completely symbiotic relationship.These probiotics need a place to live and the warm humid environment of the gut is a perfect place.In turn the body needs a way to limit the bad germs that it comes in contact with.How? By inhabiting the digestive tract and lining the intestinal walls,probiotics balance the natural flora-creating an environment in which bad bacteria,yeasts,viruses cannot thrive.Additionally,probiotics support the health and integrity of the instestinal lining by producing short chain fatty acids that intestinal cells use as a primary source of energy. Finally, one cannot overlook the importance of immune support provided by probiotic flora.Numerous studies,over and over demonstrate the importance of gastrointestinal flora in supporting both local (in the gut) and systemic (overall) immune resistance in the body. Unfortunately, our digestive systems do not always contain enough probiotics.

   If our intestinal tract is devoid of probiotics then we are suceptible to disease, viruses, infections, sickess. There are many probiotics out there, but only is Certified Organic and contains the "Full Spectrum" of Probiotics.Click here to get Certified Organic Probiotics:

   Probiotics live in colonies or CFU’s (colony forming units), just about 99.9% of supplemtnt companies claim that they more then 5 billion or 15 billion bacteria. WHat they do is break up the colonies to increase their bacteria count making it seem like more is better. The truth is you need the "Full Spectrum" of Probiotics. In-Liven is the only product out there that has Full Spectrum and is Organically Certifed meaning there are no pesticides,fungicides, herbacides, etc…)no other product is like this. Hope this helps, let me know what happens!

   Colloidal SIlver is also another supplement you need to kill staph infections, it will kill it! this is a secret that pharmaceautical companies don’t want you to know about, it’s cheap and it works. go to you local health food store and ask for colloidal silver in liquid.

   B12 will help, but a B Complex would probably be more productive. But, CFS is a very integral part of your immune system, health and nutrition. So, just throwing a few supplements at it may help, but addressing the complete issue, including potential toxicity would be more helpful. A naturopath would do you a world of good.

   A great book that may help more is 90-Day Immune System Makeover by Janet Maccaro. She has recovered herself from this and other diseases that threatened the enjoyment of her life.

   Best to you in your quest for health.

   Try behavioral counseling and relaxation techniques, such as hypnosis or meditation, to manage stress and treat any underlying depression.

   Get a good night’s sleep. If needed, use supplements for insomnia, such as valerian, melatonin, or 5-HTP.

   Mild aerobic exercise may be excellent for chronic fatigue syndrome, according to a recent study in the British Medical Journal. After a 12-week program of walking, swimming, or biking from 5 to 30 minutes a day, 55% of CFS patients felt "much" or very much better. Relaxation and stretching exercises may also work. But start and proceed slowly: If you do too much, you may suffer a setback. It may help to keep an energy diary-to record peaks and ebbs of energy-and plan your schedule around the times you routinely feel the best.

   Supplement therapy aims to restore a healthy immune system, so begin with vitamin C and carotenoids. A powerful immune enhancer, echinacea can be added to the mix; it can be alternated with the herbs astragalus, which has antiviral and immunity-enhancing effects, pau d’arco, which fights many microbes (especially the yeast infections so common in those with low immunity), or goldenseal. For muscle pain, use magnesium too.

   Vitamin C: 2,000 mg 3 times a day. Reduce dose if diarrhea develops.

   Carotenoids: 2 pills mixed carotenoids a day with food. Each pill should supply 25,000 IU vitamin A activity.

   Magnesium: 400 mg once a day. Take with food; reduce dose if diarrhea develops.

   Echinacea : 200 mg twice a day. Standardized to contain at least 3.5% echinacosides. Limit consecutive use to 3 weeks or rotate with other herbs.

   Siberian Ginseng : 100-300 mg twice a day.
   Standardized to contain at least 0.8% eleutherosides.

   Licorice : 200 mg 3 times a day. Standardized to contain 22% glycyrrhizin or glycyrrhizinic acid; can raise blood pressure. Try DGL.

   Pantothenic Acid : 500 mg twice a day. Take with meals. Provides adrenal gland support.

   Astragalus : 200 mg standardized extract twice a day.Rotate in 3-week cycles with echinacea and pau d’arco.

   Pau d’arco : 250 mg twice a day. Standardized to contain 3% naphthoquinones.
