Symptoms of Fatigue: Now… Understand Why They Envelop You 24/7
Chronic fatigue drains our resources. As a first step in dealing with fatigue, we must have an idea about how our body maintains its health. During conception, we were set-up by Nature with the ability to maintain our health and our functions. Yes, you can heal yourself but only if you have enough resources. By definition, chronic fatigue means that your resources have been depleted.
Disease is actually a fight for health. And symptoms represent that fight. But symptoms should come and then go away after restoring one to balance. Symptoms that go on and on mean that the fight to restore health isn’t being won. This is the nature of chronic fatigue.
The inflammation response is generated by your own body for protection from damaging elements. Western Medicine’s focus has been that inflammation is the actual disease, not a defensive response of the body. The primary emphasis of the pharmaceutical industry is the development of drugs to reduce inflammation. So, the body never gets rid of the cause of the inflammation which continues to damage your body.
There are five signs in the body’s inflammation fight:
* swelling * loss of function * heat * pain * redness
All of these are part of the symptom picture that emerges when chronic fatigue sets in.
Chronic Fatigue: Why Do So Many People Have It?
I’ve talked about coming into life with a certain amount of healing power in your healing bank account. Unfortunately, too many withdrawals have been made from the account and the body can no longer maintain its balance and this is when chronic fatigue sets in.
We know that all forms of fatigue come from many diverse causes:
* post viral * emotional stress * too much stress * environmental pollutants * drug-induced changes in cellular function * diet * lack of exercise
These represent some of the causes, but that is much too complicated for medicine to deal with because it needs one disease/one cause to craft a picture.
If you’re suffering from symptoms of fatigue, there are no drugs for it. Will there ever be? No, because drugs are anti-life and they only suppress symptoms and the symptoms are the body’s effort to heal itself.
Since symptoms are the fight for healing and health, they must be supported to do their job. This is why people are beginning to look outside of the existing medical model. Medicine does not support this and there is a problem: a lot of marketers feed on people’s suffering for profit. It’s easy to enter this market since it isn’t regulated.
If we accept that symptoms are the fight for health, then squashing them is not what we want to do. We want to strengthen the healing capacity of the body and help it do what it’s trying to do. The body wants to get rid of anything that’s bothering it and return itself to balance and health.
