conversations.value: The Perrin Technique
  CFS/ME can affect all ages and all cultures, men as well as women, but many more women suffer from the disease than men. This is because (1) women's hormonal systems are so much more complex than men's and those hormonal changes affect CFS/ME, and (2) there is much more lymphatic tissue in the breast in women and thus there is much more congestion of the tissue in the chest, irritating more of the sympathetic nerves in this important area.
  There are many factors involved in the process leading to CFS/ME, as discussed in earlier chapters. The head may be traumatised at birth or there may be a genetic predisposition that affects the normal development of the head or back. Years before the onset of symptoms, perhaps even in early childhood, the patient may have suffered from trauma to the head or spine. Teenage years bring with them problems of their own and the spine of a very active teenager, or of those who tend to slouch when sitting, is prone to developmental problems.
  One of the functions of the cerebrospinal fluid is drainage. Some poisons caused by infection, inflammation or toxins from the polluted environment enter the brain and spine and flow out through perforations in the skull and minute channels in the spine, entering the lymphatic system. If there are structural problems affecting both the head and the spine together, there is no safe drainage pathway for the cerebrospinal fluid to take. In a CFS/ME sufferer these normal drainage points are congested, leading to a build-up of poisons within the central nervous system.
  The main organ in the brain to be affected by poisons is the hypothalamus, which is the control centre for the hormones and the sympathetic nervous system. The latter helps the body cope in times of stress. In CFS/ME the toxic cocktail brewing in the hypothalamus leads to an overload of the sympathetic nervous system, which will have been affected by other stress factors – whether physical, allergic, emotional or infection – in the years leading up to the illness.,
  One final trigger, which is usually a viral or bacterial infection, will lead to a breakdown in the normal functioning of the sympathetic nervous system.5 Furthermore, the lymphatic system, which is meant to aid drainage, is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. When this system is functioning poorly, toxins are pumped in the reverse direction, which adds further poisons to the central nervous system. As the toxicity builds up, brain function worsens, leading to further sympathetic disarray. The vicious circle that ensues leads to the myriad symptoms affecting the patient with CFS/ME.2

conversations.value: Whoever the sufferer, young or old, man or woman, he or she is highly likely to have been told the condition is 'psychosomatic' ('all in the mind'), depression is the root cause, and antidepressants the only sensible answer.
  Read how and why EPA ('eicosapentaenoic acid') will be essential to recovery, how to take it, what supplements to have with it, and how to change to a lifestyle that will promote
  Thyroid problems, especially thyroid under-activity, are on the increase but notoriously under-diagnosed. Many sufferers have years of treatment for their many symptoms rather than for the underlying problem.
  This practical manual comes from a nationally recognized centre for the treatment of CFS/ME and is jointly written by health professionals and their patients. They give straightforward and specific expert advice, accompanied by real life stories, on managing different aspects of everyday life that can affect energy and they show how to put this advice into practice.
  Every day we make decisions about our health – some big and some small. What we eat, how we live and even where we live can affect our health. But how can we be sure that the advice we are given about these important matters is right for us? Many treatments and tests - both mainstream and alternative – are not supported by good evidence and some widely used treatments are actually harmful. Whether you are considering having surgery or taking vitamin supplements, you need to know the effectiveness of the options and their side-effects.
