Known Causes of Fatigue

Several physical conditions are known to cause fatigue. The good news is that if you have one of these conditions, you’ll have an excellent idea of what is causing your fatigue. Not sure if you have one of these? Read on; there’s more about that.

1: Anemia. This creates a lack of oxygen in your blood. You may get dizzy when you stand up, have brain fog, and get heart palpitations.

2: Diabetes. Blood sugar fluctuations require a great deal of energy, leaving you with little left for your life.

3: Thyroid. The metabolism master hormone gland. It dictates how much energy will be manufactured by every cell in your body. If it is stressed, you may have brain fog, exhaustion, and lack of motivation.

4: Heart Disease. If your heart isn’t pumping blood normally you can be severely fatigued. The tiredness will get worse as you exercise. You may also get shortness of breath and swelling in your arms and legs.

5: Sleep Problems. Insomnia, sleep apnea or just bad sleep habits can build up and lead to chronic tiredness and feeling sleepy.

6: Menopause / Prostate Problems. Having interrupted sleep from frequent urination, night sweats, and other symptoms of low hormone levels can cause severe brain fog, memory problems, lack of energy, and general misery.

7: Depression. Severe stress that goes along with depression can cause hormone and neurotransmitter imbalances. You may have trouble sleeping or wake too early and can’t get back to sleep.

8: Long Covid. This one has a wide variety of symptoms that are not yet understood. Fatigue is a common long-Covid symptom.

Even if you can identify which of these problems is causing your fatigue, there’s still the question of what can you do about this?

Some of these problems have real solutions, but most of them have only long-term drug-based symptom management available.

In most cases, the drugs used for symptoms won’t do much, if anything, for your fatigue or lack of energy.

Unknown Causes of Fatigue

So, what if you’re exhausted but don’t have any of the above health problems? Now what?

You’re in the same situation as people with diabetes, thyroid, menopause, depression, and long Covid. No medical solutions to these health conditions would resolve the fatigue associated with them.

The only possible solution in any of these cases is:

Get tested to determine what factors are preventing your body from healing.

If you don’t do this, you will be guessing, trying one thing after another to see what might work, researching the internet endlessly, and finding little that actually helps.

A word of caution: Discovering the cause(s) of your health problem is just the first step. You’ll also have to do something effective to assist your body in regaining its ability to heal.

If you have a stubborn/long-term health problem, there is no single treatment, drug, supplement, or diet that will solve it.

Read that last statement again. It’s important.

THE MISERY PACKAGE

Often physical fatigue combines with mental sluggishness. Brain fog, poor concentration, and memory problems at the same time you have no energy can make up a misery package.

Physical and mental fatigue combined can be a knockout blow to your life.

Energy Increases!

When I first started the program at AHA I was tired, weak, lethargic and ached all over. In 2-3 weeks, many of the symptoms improved and I started getting more energy and less muscle aches and sleeping almost through the night. Now at 6 weeks I’ve regained a lot of energy – very few aches and pains and I’ve lost 25lbs. This is attributed to cutting out diet sodas, refined carbs and having protein shakes and I’ve also been drinking lots of water. — G.C.

Avoiding the Downward Health Spiral

  • Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s office having received no help for your health problem and wondered why you went there in the first place?
  • Have you ever needed help with a health problem but didn’t call your doctor because you knew they couldn’t help you?
  • Many patients are hesitant to tell me what’s really wrong with their health because they’ve been told by doctors that it’s not real and they’re making it up, or that they’re suffering from a “chemical imbalance” in their brain.
  • Some patients say they feel silly telling me that they generally don’t feel well. They think that health problems without a medical diagnosis aren’t “real.” They’d be happy telling me about headaches or heartburn, but not that they wake up every morning with no ambition or energy and feeling bad.
Listen to Yourself
Listen to Yourself

Listen To Yourself

This hesitation in believing yourself about your own health results from a health care system that specializes in treating symptoms instead of health.

I recommend you listen to your body and believe what it tells you.

If You Feel Bad, Something is Very Wrong

If you take the right actions, you can reverse your declining health and resume a happy and fulfilling life.

If you don’t do anything effective about your health, your happiness can be reduced. Your health may continue to worsen, and you may eventually have a health problem that your doctor can diagnose. At this point, treatment will likely be long-term medication to control a symptom while your health continues to deteriorate.

Spiral Down
Gut Flora

The Spiral Down

Many people feel bad, can’t get help from their doctor, think that this is their lot in life and just suffer.

Some, however, put up a heroic fight to improve:

  • First, you might go to your doctor. Doctors must diagnose you to do any treatment. If you can get no useful diagnosis, this is likely to result in either no help or a prescription for antidepressant drugs.
  • If you discover that this is certainly not what you were looking for, you may research the internet for products to try. This often results in countless hours wasted while becoming more confused.
  • You may use many different supplements, herbs, and remedies. Some of these may help and create hope, only to stop working after a while.
  • Some people may search for professionals: naturopaths, chiropractors, and functional medicine doctors. In many cases, treatment will produce an improvement. But this can often be followed by a plateau with no progress and then a slow slide back into feeling bad.

The final result can be a person who feels bad and has convinced themselves that there’s nothing left to try. They may have come full circle back to thinking this is their lot in life.

Feeling So Much Better!

I’ve been coming to Alternative Health Atlanta for only 2 ½ weeks and I already am experiencing relief from problems that I’ve tried to cure with medication, exercise and willpower. None of these methods have resulted in the peaceful night’s sleep, the sense of well-being and the decrease in my anxiety levels that I am now experiencing. After each visit, I sleep a little better, feel less anxious and have more energy. I am so excited about continuing to improve mentally and physically. It’s a Godsend! —M.K.
3 Tests Tell You How Long You Will Live

3 Tests Tell You How Long You Will Live

3 At Home Tests Tell You How Long You Will Live

Most people have a desire to live life to the fullest with a combination of quantity and quality.

This short article presents the findings of five researchers who identified three simple tests you can do at home to measure your possible lifespan.

The medical paper published in the British Medical Journal in 2014 revealed a 13 year study where they took 1,355 men and 1,411 women in 1999 when they were 53 years old and then checked to see who was alive and well 13 years later in 2012.

The following are the three tests that were evaluated:

  1. Standing on one leg with your eyes closed for 10 seconds or longer
  2. Having a strong grip
  3. Being able to stand up and sit back down in a chair many times in a minute.

According to the researchers of this paper, these tests clearly represented tell-tale signs of longevity.

Perform well in all three tests at age 53 or so and you should be healthy and vibrant 13 years later, when you are 66.

Less Stress = Longer Life

READ: Solve Stress Backwards

Researchers from University College London estimate that a 53 year old who can complete these tests successfully is up to 5 times more likely to be alive and well at 66 than someone who couldn’t complete the tests or who did them poorly.

There were far higher death rates among those who failed to complete the tasks.

Officially the tests are called:

The Chair Test (Standing up and sitting down in a chair 39 times in a minute for a man, and 36 times for a woman)

The balance test (standing on one leg for 10 seconds or longer with eyes closed)

The grip test (ability to apply a pressure of up to 54.5 kg or 120 pounds)

Trillion-Dollar Weight Loss

Trillion-Dollar Weight Loss

A recent article in The Economist is titled “The battle over the trillion-dollar weight-loss bonanza.”
What?
You’ve probably heard about the new weight-loss drugs such as Wegovy and Zepbound (called GLP-1 agonists), which can quickly reduce a person’s body weight by 15%. That’s 30 pounds lost if you weigh 200 pounds.
The Economist is predicting that annual sales of these drugs may reach $80 billion by 2030.
Close to half the world’s population is predicted to be obese or overweight by 2030 (World Obesity Federation). So, a trillion dollars in sales over a few years is not a stretch.
Execept…
In the history of pharmaceuticals, there has never been a product that was used by patients long-term that didn’t develop side effects. Generally, the more powerful the drug, the worse the side effects, as the chemical disrupts normal body functions.
These weight-loss drugs must be used for life and already have severe side effects (nausea, muscle loss, loss of enjoyment of foods). There is no predicting what happens after a person takes them for 10+ years.
Then, there’s human nature. As a species, we are not exceptionally good at doing things we don’t like unless there are consequences. Many overweight people live much healthier lifestyles to control their weight. Would they continue to eat well and exercise if they could take a drug and live any way they wanted?

Your Body is the Best Doctor for Your Body

Conventional medicine is very good at solving many health issues. Infections, trauma, and disease processes that the body can’t control are examples.
Medicine gets in trouble when it pushes the boundaries of its knowledge and proven techniques without sufficient due diligence. Developing chemicals that can alter the body in powerful ways without understanding how they work has been proven dangerous. Add a trillion-dollar incentive to this, and a disaster is very likely to occur.
There are effective ways of assisting your body in healing itself that don’t run these risks. This approach helps you to be healthier, more stable, and more able to live confidently in a toxic and stressful world.

Are Millennials the Canaries in the Coal Mine?

Are Millennials the Canaries in the Coal Mine?

I just saw some startling statistics from a recent Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) report:

  • After age 27, Millennials chances of major health problems increase sharply
  • Millennials have higher rates of common health conditions than their Gen-X predecessors did at the same ages
  • As their health continues to decline, Millennials are going to be a huge financial burden on the already overwhelmed healthcare system.

Think about this: Before they reach their third decade of life, Millennials are at risk for chronic diseases that their grandparents may be facing.

Two Questions:

ONE: Why? What is destroying the health of young people who have grown up with the latest advancements of medicine, diet and a cleaner environment?

TWO: How can this trend be reversed, and how can we make sure that the next generation isn’t in even worse condition?

Children’s Health Has Been Sliding for Generations

You’ve almost certainly noticed that there has been a long-term health slide for our kids. I can recall that when I was in grade school, kids weren’t on drugs for ADHD. The school wasn’t a “peanut free zone” because of severe food allergies. There weren’t any diabetics in my class. There weren’t more than a couple of “fat kids” in my class, either.

The reason behind this deterioration of children’s health would likely be a major reason for the data in this Blue Cross Blue Shield study.

The Reason? Gut Microbes

In your body, there are about 10 times as many microbes as there are cells. That’s about 360 trillion microbes… mostly in your small intestine. They provide many services for your body including:

  • Digesting your food (which is your body’s replacement parts)
  • Producing 75% of your immune system.

Here’s an article from Scientific American on gut microbes

If you damage your supply of gut microbes, you become much more likely to develop many health conditions, especially those caused by a weakened immune system. This would include health conditions created by inflammation, auto-immune, allergies, etc.

Gut Microbes are damaged by:

  • Antibiotics (drugs you take, residual drugs in meat you eat, and environmental antibiotics in hand soap and many other products).
  • Food additives (preservatives, flavor enhancers, dyes, etc.)
  • Environmental chemicals you get exposed to all the time.
  • Eating too much sugar and refined carbohydrates (this causes fungus in your small intestine to overgrow and destroy the beneficial bacteria).

There are certainly many additional challenges that make it difficult to maintain good health in our society. However, most of these stresses piggyback on the gut microbe problem or are made much worse by it.

Then there’s the single largest and most vicious reason for declining health: The Big Lie.

The Big Lie

“Many health conditions are permanent; you can’t get ever get completely well and will need ongoing treatment for the rest of your life.”

This Lie applies to diagnosed diseases as well as non-diagnosed symptoms.

Here’s a partial list:

Diabetes, high blood pressure, IBS, GERD, asthma, allergies, high cholesterol, depression, heart disease, arthritis, chronic respiratory diseases, fatigue, sleep problems, digestive problems, anxiety, hair loss, weight gain, back/shoulder/neck/knee/hand pain, brain fog, memory problems, menstrual and menopause problems, infertility.

I call this the Big Lie because I watch bodies become healthy and heal themselves of every one of these conditions on a regular basis.

None of these problems can be successfully solved using drugs or surgery, and our current medical system uses ONLY drugs and surgeries. So, medically all these conditions are permanent.

Also, our medical system considers that it is all-knowing, and that nothing else other than drugs and surgeries has any validity. So, if you can’t get well medically then you better just learn to live with your problems.
