-Caveat Lector- This is very sad. A homoeopath in Colombia is lamenting a dramatic increase in CFS "chronic fatigue syndrome," which is known to be associated with chemical/biological warfare agents, http://www.trufax.org/menu/gulf.html http://www.trufax.org/menu/chem.html and other Neurotoxins such as ASPARTAME / NutraSweet. http://www.aspartamekills.com/ http://www.dorway.com/ Also noted in some persons "diagnosed" with the catch-all set of symptoms which the medical establishment has helplessly named "chronic fatigue syndrome" is mercury toxicity. http://www.teleport.com/~semerson/fm.html also important to in my opinion to eliminate aluminum cooking pots! AS in any other homoeopathic treatment, it is quite important to REMOVE OBSTACLES to cure, wherever possible, especially if these obstacles may be proximate "cause" of dis-ease. Quite a few persons "diagnosed" with "CFS" have become well simply from abstaining from neurotoxic poisoning by-way-of Diet Coke and other products containing ASPARTAME. Beyond this, there is no denying that trying to sort out the complex symptoms of the made-up syndrome name "CFS" can be difficult ("a pain" as our colleague in Colombia says ;) ... but if we are intent on helping someone with a list of somewhat debilitating symptoms that may be collectively referred to as "CFS" there is only one way to do so as a homoeopath. Each case is unique, and unlike many cases in which there are general symptoms "of the disease" which would naturally be of less importance than specific-to-the-individual symptoms.... it would seem that we would need to attempt to fully characterize all notable symptoms until a good characterization of a remedy from our materia medica comes into sight. Also may be helpful to note the physical & M/E details specific to the individual which may NOT be specifically related to "dis-ease," but which will help to identify the individual's predispostion in terms of chronic miasm, to better select a remedy which may be expected to act most deeply in getting at the heart of the problem.... otherwise we may have limited success chasing symptoms around until we "happen" to come upon a remedy that addresses the underlying flaw in the constitution. Organon, APHORISM 5 "Useful to the physician in assisting him to cure are the particulars of the most probable exciting cause of the acute disease, as also the most significant points in the whole history of the chronic disease, to enable him to discover its fundamental cause, which is generally due to a chronic miasm. In these investigations, the ascertainable physical constitution of the patient (especially when the disease is chronic), his moral and intellectual character, his occupation, mode of living and habits, his social and domestic relations, his age, sexual function, &c., are to be taken into consideration." ---------- Some of these cases seem to have a great deal of emotional debility- grief and strong sense of 'victimization'.. Some of these cases bring the acidums to mind. Many of these cases may be slow onset, but reach states of great debility- this may give some clues to identify likely remedies- some of the metals perhaps?

This problem had increased a lot here in Cali Colombia. I had realized the spectrum of symptoms are very wide and sometimes is hard to get the more characteristic ones. Last year I had some good experiences using Kali Carbonicum 30 CH in two patients, but taking new CFS cases had become a pain for me.
