Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Adrenal Dysfunction
Long before the constellation of symptoms that comprise CFS had an official name, professionals at the Clymer Healing Center called it Adrenal Syndrome. Their research showed a vital link between the adrenal gland and the immune system. When disrupted by stress or environmental factors, this connection malfunctions and creates the ill health and profound fatigue that plagues thousands.
CFS and related metabolic syndromes strike hard in the stressful, toxic and time-starved 21st Century. Women between the ages of 30 and 50 seem to be especially hard hit as they juggle roles inside and outside the home – careers, children, spouses, aging parents, etc. The CDC estimates that at least half a million people in the U.S. suffer from CFS, but this number is considered low by most experts due to underreporting and the lack of a widespread random site study. Many cases of CFS remain undetected since it is difficult to accurately diagnose. The degree to which one is affected by adrenal dysfunction varies greatly from person to person.

Many traditional medical practitioners treat symptomatic patients with the “miracle drug of the 90s” – the antidepressant- which only masks the symptoms and may cause severe side effects. Others believe the condition is “all in the patient’s head” or recommend the patient “learn to live with it” despite the current consensus of medical research.
