Chronic Fatigue
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome, Adrenal Burn-out Syndrome, Glandular Fever, Fibromyalgia Symptoms, Hashimotos Thyroid Disease...
Epstein-Barr virus, EBV, is a member of the Herpesvirus family, and is one of the most common human viruses. When infection with EBV occurs during adolescence or young adulthood, it causes infectious mononucleosis (Glandular Fever) 35% to 50% of the time. Picture courtesy CDC.

ORIGIN OF THE DISEASES/DISORDERS
Latest News +++ Latest News +++ Latest News +++
A study published in Science found the retrovirus XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) in 67% of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME). This virus belongs to the group of gamma-retroviruses and is thought to be transmitted by bodily fluids, but genes and other predisposing factors also play a role.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is very much related to other viruses as well:
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)
Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
Human Herpes Virus 6 (HHV-6)
And also:
enteroviruses (polioviruses, Coxsackie viruses, echoviruses)
parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV-5)
parvovirus B19
various retroviruses
The cause of CHRONIC FATIGUE is not known and there are no reliable tests available for a clear diagnosis, although the latest research/findings indicate, that bacteria and (especially) viruses play a major role.
There are some clear connections:
- GLANDULAR FEVER is triggered by the Epstein-Barr-Virus (EBV)
- POST VIRAL SYNDROME ... the word explains it all
- some researchers believe to have found a connection to parasitic disorders (more research is necessary)
- In some reports Brucellosis, caused by the bacteria Brucella melitensis, was connected with Chronic Fatigue.
- The Journal of Clinical Virology reported a trial (25 patients) who were treated with valganciclovir, an antiviral drug often used in treating diseases caused by human herpes viruses (including cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr-Virus, and human herpes virus-6)
- The Enterovirus was found in many Chronic Fatigue sufferers. Enteroviruses are very common, second only to the common cold viruses as the most common viral infections in humans. Most people who are infected with an enterovirus have no symptoms at all.
Activities of "latent viruses" from the Herpesviridae family (Epstein-Barr-Virus, EBV, the cause of Glandaluar Fever and also CMV, Herpes Zoster, Herpes Simplex, Shingles) can cause severe health problems, which are difficult to identify and diagnose. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Irritability, Migraines, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Depression... just to mention a few. What happens in your body is a decline of immune responses - the immune system is overworked -which can lead to imbalances in your microbial community. Result: more and more health problems.
Other Causes:
Blood pressure abnormalities
An abnormal response from the central nervous system
