Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) has become an increasingly common condition and is often associated with depression. In terms of clinical definition it remains an enigma, however, sustained CFS leads to desperation and is emotionally draining. 
Many complementary practitioners believe that poor air quality can be an important contributing factor, both in polluted cities and in offices with air conditioning. It is becoming clear that air deprived of its normal surplus of negative ions has a tiring effect on those who breathe it. Furthermore, many of our modern domestic conveniences might have been designed deliberately to de-ionise air. These include man-made fibres, air fresheners, fan heaters, strip lighting and video screens. Installation of ionisers in offices, domestic premises and cars frequently results in relief of symptoms.

Before you start, you may wish to consider our Detox Formula which will cleanse your body and aide your gut's ability to absorb the nutrients within the CFS program. It will also help replenish the intestinal tract with healthy flora and enhance your overall health and wellbeing.

Additional Help & Support


An inadequate consumption of water is known to help reduce the symptoms of fatigue. 
Sunlight has a beneficial effect on the whole person, and is also known to alleviate the experience of fatigue that can occur with extended periods of exposure to artificial lighting.

Additional Comment:

It is important that attention is paid to the balance between acid-forming and alkali-forming foods. The optimum balance is around 60% alkali-forming to acid-forming. See Acid Forming and Alkali Forming guidelines. 

Fatigue can be associated with iron deficiency. 

Avoid too much carbohydrate during the day, saving it for the evening meal.

Similar nutritional observations apply here as in M.E., and receive support from several studies published in American medical literature. In particular, requirements for Vitamin B Complex and Vitamin C vary widely according to personal circumstances such as stress and pollutant exposure.

Q: What is the difference between foodstate supplements and ordinary supplements?

Ans: In nature, nutrients are created with a number of food factors that effectively create a delivery system to take the nutrient to an appropriate receptor site. These food factors are mainly carbohydrates, lipo-proteins, glyco-proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates, enzymes and fats. Virtually all supplements are made simply from the isolated vitamin or mineral without any of these essential co-factors present, so our ability to absorb use and retain them is very limited

 

Q: Why is Foodstate better?

Ans: We create our nutrients as fully formed foods so they are much better absorbed used and retained than ordinary supplements, which are all created with the same manufactured synthetic chemicals. Nature has created us to recognise food nutrients, not synthetic chemicals

 

Q: Why are foodstate supplements in lower dosage?

Ans: It’s because they are much better absorbed used and retained than ordinary supplements. Our Calcium for example is 30mg whereas most inorganic forms are up to 1000mg. Human adults need 30mg per day of food calcium so that is what we provide, rather than 1000mg of inorganic calcium that is very difficult to absorb

 

Q: Can I take foodstate supplements if I am yeast intolerant?

Ans. Absolutely. We use nutritional yeast as a growing medium for several of our products because it is such an effective, nutritionally complete growing medium. There is no hint whatsoever of yeast in the finished product, it is completely removed during manufacture and is entirely safe even for people who are highly yeast intolerant
