mother-in-law

benefits in terms of life extension and reduced

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can be measured
Many doctors resist the suggestion, or deny, that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome CFS), or myalgicencephalomyelitis (ME) exists. But even those who acknowledge it have been hampered by the lack of a good test. This scientific paper, "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Mitochondrial Dysfunction", clearly shows that the fatigue of chronic fatigue syndrome is a symptom of mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria are the little biochemical engines within every cell in the body, which supply energy to that cell. What is shown by this paper demonstrates that the more fatigued the patient, the worse is the mitochondrial dysfunction and vice versa. This means that we now have an objective measure of fatigue and therefore a test for one major cause of chronic fatigue syndrome.
This new paper, published in The International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine shows, not only that is does exist, but that it can be measured.

Why I wrote Trick and Treat
You cannot have failed to notice that health generally has worsened over the last twenty years or so. The major reason is the 'health' advice we get today. In this short article, you will see why I felt compelled to write a book such as Trick and Treat. It's about how the 'health industry' TRICKs us into an unhealthy lifestyle so that they can TREAT us for the resultant illnesses.
