Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome
|
In the late 1970s, and early 1980s, an increasing
number of people, especially young to middle-aged
women, began to exhibit a myriad of symptoms
including fatigue, body aches, headaches, mild
depression, cognitive loss, and a variety of other
multi-system complaints. From these symptoms, the
ten Fibro my alga was developed.
Later, due to an outbreak of fatigue-like illness in
Nevada, a new disorder called chronic fatigue, now
recognized as Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction
Syndrome, became known. There is now an absolute
epidemic of fatigue and related complaints. As early
as 1982, it was found the use of vitamins, minerals,
amino acids and enzymes given intravenously were
helpful.
Dr.
Ahner has continued his quest to find a common
denominator in these syndromes. With the great
advances in cell biology, it is now understood the
intercellular body called the mitochondrion that is
at the root of these disorders.
The best hypothesis for the development of Fibro
myalgia, Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction
Syndrome, and the other environmental illnesses can
be explained by damage to the mitochondrion. The
mitochondrion is the intracellular body that
produces the cell's energy. When various factors,
including virus, oxidative damage. free radicals,
environmental toxins, etc., damage the
mitochondrion, particularly the mitochondria DNA. it
cannot produce adequate energy for the cell to
maintain normal function. This leads to low energy
output and therefore, cellular dysfunction.
The muscles and the brain are the most metabolically
active, and generally, this is where symptoms
cluster. Without fully understanding the mechanism,
success has been gained by giving intravenous
vitamins, minerals, magnesium, amino acids and other
components.
**As noted in Dr. Ahner's paper on Chronic
I fatigue/Fibromyaligia, he is now better able to
monitor the effects of the free radicals, and
therefore better able to prescribe treatments.

As America's Baby Boom population ages. the concept
of anti-aging therapy takes on even greater
proportions. For the first time, the possibilities
exist to slow the aging process and improve one's
quality of life. Health is a continuum; some are old
at 50, and others are young at 80.
The use of cellular protective agents, such as
N-acetyl-cysteine, Lipoic Acid, COQIO, etc., is
showing great promise in anti-aging medicine.
Chelation therapy, due to its cell rejuvenation
ability, is another great help. Possibly, the most
exciting single event in anti-aging is the discovery
and now availability of the hormone called "human
growth hormone." Once only available to the very
rich, it is now accessible to most of us Call about
Dr. Ahner's paper on Hormone Replacement.
Thankfully,
the formerly obscure and misunderstood field of
"alternative! complementary" medicine has now become
mainstream. The general public is beginning to
realize that standard allopathic medicine (the
practice of using drugs and surgery to treat
end-stage disease) is not a practical form of
healthcare. Many now rely on the numerous books and
newsletters detailing the uses of vitamins,
minerals, amino adds, herbs and other natural
substances.
The last 18 years have brought many changes, an
incredible amount of knowledge, and a significant
increase in available therapies. Today, as in 1982,
Dr. Ahner believes that treating each case on an
individual basis, watching for biochemical
uniqueness. and applying whatever treatment best
fits the patient, is the proper way to practice
medicine. The use of nutrition, dietary supplements,
detoxification, natural hormone replacement, and
chelation therapy must be matched to the needs and
desires of the individual.
Dr. Ahner is extremely proud of his work, and is a
respected member of this specialized field. The
following is a brief list of disorders that are
often benefited by Dr. Ahner's specialized approach
of individualized alternative/complementary medicine
that focuses on returning normal function:
Heart Disease, Stroke, Memory Loss, Alzheimer's
Disease, Parkinson's Disease. Age-related Macular
Degeneration, Degenerative Arthritis, Inflammatory
Arthritis (Rheumatoid), Allergy (food and airborne),
Digestive Disturbances (constipation. diarrhea),
Fibro myalgia, Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction
Syndrome, Environmental Illness, Depression,
Osteoporosis, Aging, Hormone Loss.
