Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Hidden Epidemic - Softcover

Difficult to diagnose, impossible to "cure," Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) appears to be a modern medical nightmare-come-true for a growing number of victims. A disorder known by names ranging from "Raggedy Ann Syndrome" to Chronic Epstein-Barr Virus disease, CFS strikes with the following devastating symptoms:

• Extreme weakness and exhaustion
• Persistent apathy and depression
• Memory loss
• Impaired concentration
• Recurrent achiness, low-grade fever, swollen glands
• Exaggerated allergic reactions
• Hypoglycemia
• Aggravation of preexisting conditions
• Susceptibility to secondary illness

Now there is hope for CFS sufferers. Jesse A. Stoff, M.D., has helped hundreds of CFS patients such as Charles R. Pellegrino, Ph.D., to achieve apparently permanent remission of the syndrome with a comprehensive program aimed at strengthening the immune system. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Hidden Epidemic is a combination of Dr. Stoff's advice and Charles Pellegrino's example as an "exceptional patient." It points the way for CFS sufferers to achieve a true healing of body and mind.
