Fatigue worsens with physical or mental effort and is not going away even when you are resting.

Today, however, doctors and scientists agree that this disease actually exists and that it needs to be taken seriously.

The causes of chronic fatigue
There are several possible causes of chronic fatigue, including:

Sometimes the symptoms of chronic fatigue can be caused by other diseases (arthritis, sleep disorders, hepatitis, leukemia, cancer etc) or taking certain medications.
The causes of chronic fatigue toward alternative medicine
• Epstein Barr virus (HHV-4)
In the past it was thought that this virus was the only cause of chronic fatigue. Epstein Barr virus is widespread. It is present in 95% of the population, but most of us have developed immunity to it. According to conventional medical doctors, Epstein Barr virus is associated with many diseases, such as infectious mononucleosis, cancer, systemic lupus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, etc.
• Candida
An unhealthy diet, an excessive use of antibiotics and an unhealthy lifestyle can contribute to the growth of Candida in the body. In this case, our body will consume most of the energy to defend against the invasion of Candida. According to alternative professionals, Candida can cause serious health problems such as chronic fatigue, allergies, arthritis and even cancer.
• Lack of vitamins and minerals in the body
We all know that our body needs vitamins and minerals for proper functioning. If we miss a certain vitamin or mineral for a long time, it will certainly affect our health. Very likely, chronic fatigue will be one of the first symptoms.
• Parasites
They certainly deserve to be mentioned here. We all have them (according to research, the average American carries at least a pound of parasites in his/her body). Parasites do what they are named for – they parasite (steal vitamins and minerals that our bodies need, and in turn emit toxins that exhaust the organism).
• Stress
Apart from the damage it can cause to adrenal glands and nervous system, stress also affects the immune system and causes loss of vitamins. Long-term exposure to stress can cause chronic fatigue.
• Depression
Do not underestimate it. It is not only an emotional, but also a physical burden.
• Toxins in the body
Unfortunately, we live in a polluted world. Toxins are found in the air, water and food. and they affect our lives. Our body has limited tolerance to toxins, after which it begins to give alarming signals such as low immunity, constant tiredness, allergies, etc. It is very important to regularly cleanse the body of toxins.
