Symptoms of Fatigue: Straight Facts that You Can Use Now
To easily understand what you need to do to cope with symptoms of fatigue, you must have a guide on how your body actually works. To understand basic body functions, you don’t need a medical degree. At the time of birth, Nature endowed each of us with the ability to maintain our health. This has been understood for centuries and is known “as the healing force of Nature.” But this is like a bank account: when funds are removed, they must be re-filled.
Symptoms are not the disease. Coughing is not a disease, it’s a symptom generated by the body to fight against a disease OR any disturbance to normal function. In the philosophy that guides natural healing, symptoms represent the fight of the body in trying to return itself to its natural balance.
Inflammation is actually generated by the body in an effort to heal itself. But, a great deal of medicine’s efforts have been the development of drugs to fight inflammation. The result is that there is a reduction in inflammation, but the causes of inflammation remain and continue to damage your body.
There are five signs in the body’s inflammation fight:
- swelling
- loss of function
- heat
- pain
- redness
All of these are part of the symptom picture that emerges when chronic fatigue sets in.
Why Do So Many People Suffer from Fatigue?
We all have the ability to maintain our health. I call this our healing bank account. We were born with a certain amount and we have to maintain it to remain healthy. When too many withdrawals are made, then we can no longer fight for our health and this is when chronic fatigue and its symptoms take over.
There are multiple causes of chronic fatigue:
- post viral
- emotional stress
- too much stress
- environmental pollutants
- drug-induced changes in cellular function
- diet
- lack of exercise
These represent some of the causes, but that is much too complicated for medicine to deal with because it needs one disease/one cause to craft a picture.
There are no drugs for the symptoms of chronic fatigue. Since there are no accepted causes, effective therapies do not exist. Is it likely there will ever be any drugs? I don’t think so. The symptoms are from the body fighting for its health. The way to help is to help the body do what it’s trying to do.
The symptoms must be supported to do the job they’re designed to do. This is why you need to look at other supportive disciplines for your answers. But, you have to move carefully as there are far more marketing gambits out there than effective therapies.
If we accept that symptoms are the fight for health, then squashing them is not what we want to do. We want to strengthen the healing capacity of the body and help it do what it’s trying to do. The body wants to get rid of anything that’s bothering it and return itself to balance and health.
