1) Want rocket fuel? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recently, a patient of mine was taking one small
capsule of wheat germ oil per day. That supplement
plus the other ones I recommended started to
improve her health dramatically. There was one
complaint she had though. She wasn't falling asleep
until 4:00 am then she was waking up at 8:00am.
She was not tired during the day despite having only
4 hours of sleep.
I did think this was quite odd and I wanted to know
why this was happening. In the course of that visit
she realized that due to a communication error, she
was taking three wheat germ oil capsules per day
instead of just one for the previous two weeks.
Wheat Germ Oil is like rocket fuel for the body. It has the full, complex molecule of Vitamin E. It is not just the one micronutrient known as d-alpha tocopherol that inferior vitamin supplements claim is Vitamin E. I had another patient a few years ago who took a similar product. She usually had to drag herself out of bed at 10:00 am. After awhile on the good oil, she was getting up a 7am. Eating good oils (and fats) is just as important as drinking water. Without them, you literally start to die. But before you die, you have symptoms like fatigue, heart problems, dry skin, etc.

2) Heart in shock? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your heart can become fatigued from a trauma like
falling down the stairs, a fender bender or a surgery.
If you have weight gain, sinus congestion or fatigue
after a trauma, then you need to take care of your
heart.
The weight gain and sinus congestion are a result of
your heart not pumping fluids at 100%. One of the
symptoms of a heart problem is that the ankles swell
up. Sinus congestion is another symptom. A round
belly would be a third. All three of these are excess
fluids that are not being pumped through the body by
the heart.
I think that fatigue is self-explanatory. The weaker your heart is, the more tired you will become. Your heart is a muscle but unlike any other muscle, it cannot rest. When you are exercising your arms and they get tired, you can just stop exercising so they can recover. Your heart however, cannot just stop. How do you get your heart to recover from a trauma? There is no drug that will improve the health of your heart. It can only be done nutritionally. |

3) Thyroid unhappy? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recently, I have had several patients whose fatigue
disappeared when their thyroid was fed specific
nutrients.
One telltale sign of thyroid problems is chronic neck
pain. Others include thin hair, fatigue, and weight
gain.
The drugs that are used for the thyroid are pretty good but you have to take them for the rest of your life. The supplements that I use actually nourish the thyroid so that it can repair itself. You don't have to take them for the rest of your life. Plus they are cheaper. |

4) Tiring foods ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most people realize that sugar is a fuel and it gives
energy. Do you know how it makes you crash also?
Sugar and junk food is tiring. It's also addictive. I
have had many people try to get off sugar and they
felt worse! They need to do it slowly and support
their pancreas with specific nutrients while they quit
the sugar
If you are allergic to a food it can also make you tired. The way to resolve this is to avoid it and take specific supplements to repair the damage that it has done to your body. You can also do some energy work (like NAET) to resolve the food allergy. The three biggest allergens are wheat, sugar and dairy. .
