Treatment:
There is no one specific treatment that works for all. It needs to be individualized treatment approach. So there are multimodality approach is used. Uses of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options are use. Based on the view of the author integrative medical treatment approach works the best in this kind of situation. Which includes the standard medical approach for evaluation of the CFS and adding other alternative medical treatment modalities. Alternative treatment modalities like Ayurveda (Traditional Indian Medicine), Yoga, Pranayama, Herbs, dietary modification, relaxation, improvement of the sleep and life style may help to improve the symptoms. This is a big topic and will discuss in the blog separately.

| ChronicFatigue Syndrome |
If you or loved one has CFS not all physicians are comfortable taking care of the disease. It is a complex disease. It will be good to talk to your primary care about it and see who would be best for this condition in your area or if chronic fatigue clinics are in your area. One needs to find a physician who can spend time and understand the on going disease process individually and help mange it. Patient also has to do his/her share to improve further. A long-term relationship needs to be developed with the healthcare provider. It takes many months to show improvement so be patiently waiting for a while the treatment is going on. This is specially if one has the symptoms more than 3-5 years.
Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
