People with chronic fatigue syndrome, as the name suggests, suffer from extreme exhaustion, but there are also other symptoms such as loss of memory or concentration, enlarged lymph nodes, unexplained muscle pain, headaches and unrefreshing sleep. Other signs may include abdominal pain, allergies and food sensitivities, bloating, chest pain, chronic cough, diarrhoea, dizziness, dry mouth and earache.
People with CFS often suffer reactivation of latent viruses that were already in their body from an earlier time (such as Epstein Barr virus, Shingles or Herpes Simplex type 1). It is known that glutathione depletion is associated with the re-activation of several types of viruses, including herpes simplex type 1. Some scientists believe that the virus itself may cause the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Glutathione depletion is a key factor in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Glutathione is made inside every cell of the body and performs many vital roles including ‘mopping up’ harmful free radicals and detoxification of heavy metals in the liver, to rid our bodies of toxins such as mercury, pesticides, synthetic hormones etc. Without enough glutathione, the immune system will not function properly.
Many people develop low glutathione levels due to toxin build up, aging, chronic illness,stress and dietary deficiencies. Often people who develop chronic fatigue will report that they were feeling increased stress before the CFS symptoms started appearing. Physical or emotional stress causes an increase in the stress hormone cortisol which will lower glutathione levels, which in turn weakens the immune system.

How to increase your glutathione levels
You can increase your glutathione levels by taking the advanced supplement Cellgevity™ which provides all the essential precursors and nutrients that your body needs to make glutathione. A nutritious diet, drinking plenty of water and regular exercise will also assist. Boosting your glutathione levels will help to eliminate toxins from your body and will result in a healthier immune system.
From "Flat on my back" to "Flat out" - Phillip's Story
How I used to spend my days
"In the beginning I was a very fit and healthy person. I regularly competed in triathlons, 400km multi-day kayak races, participated in 500km 24 hours cycling events, ran up mountains and sometimes worked 80 hours a week. I did whatever I wanted to do.
And then, over a period of time, a series of unfortunate events caused the 'wheels to fall off' my life. I contracted Ross River Fever, Glandular fever and some other mosquito-borne flavi-virus and this developed into chronic fatigue.
Then I was exposed to a huge chemical leak which had to be cleaned up without any appropriate safety equipment - That’s when my atrial fibrillationbegan (an irregular and very rapid heartbeat). Just to top things off, for whatever reason, I developed sensitivities to all sorts of food, like gluten and dairy products. Try avoiding those products; it's not easy.
And so for 15 years I’ve wandered in a wilderness of poor health and sometimes misery looking for some answers. In the end I could no longer work, and spent a lot of my time just lying in bed apparently looking like ‘death warmed up’ as they say.
That was less than a year ago. Now I’m back on my bike, back in the garden, back into work and back into life, thanks to Cellgevity. Today, I feel like I’m back from the dead! "
