Want to share my solutions, # 1 being Creatine.
Hey guys. I didn't have CFS (at least not officially) but I have had issues like this and wanted to share my solutions.
#The big solutions
Creatine. Take it. It's a molecule that plays a role in the ATP energy cycle, which is obviously important here.
*Edited to include:
*Multivitamin. It seems trite to say it, but if you're deficient in something it could really throw a wrench into things. It can be hard to get everything or good quantities from food. It's hard to say what helped exactly, but iodine caught my eye. It's very easy to not have in your diet. The main sources are milk and seafood. If you don't drink milk (many people are lactose intolerant), and if you don't eat seafood most days (not sure who does) then you might want to consider that. A multi has 100% RDA, very easy and you get all the other things covered too.
*Magnesium. There's plenty of headlines about how x% of people are deficient. Apparently you need magnesium to do whatever with Vitamin D. So if you're magnesium deficient you could take all the Vit D, but your body won't be able to utilize it.
#The other big ones.
Liver. Eat it. Chicken liver primarily (beef liver is very high in copper and personally I wouldn't eat it weekly for years on end). Here's my recipe: Soak in a lemon juice and water bath for 24 hours, stir once halfway. Drain and dry. Cook with salt, pepper, ground thyme. Cooking it in bacon fat seems to work well, cook two strips of bacon and use the fat left in the pan. Coconut oil works well too . Many of the vitamins are water soluble so I have a bit every second day instead of a big weekly meal. You drop the lemon juice after a while when your taste buds adapt.
Eggs. Hard boiled, I eat 1-2 a day.
#Around the edge solutions:
Bone broth. I think it helps heal the gut and digestive track.
Fish oil.
Remember you have to consider that different things will help at different times along your path. Item A might be the most important now, but item B may be the most important later.
