Cognitive
Behaviour Therapy: Useful Adjunct for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by
Liz Marsh Most medical practitioners
now accept that attitude of mind – both positive and negative – can have
a significant effect on the course of many illnesses. Although chronic
fatigue syndrome (CFS) is not a psychiatric disorder, mood disturbances
are common.

Management
and Treatment of ME
by Dr Derek Pheby
Part
I People
with ME have suffered over many years as a result of a lack of knowledge
of the disease among many health care professionals, accompanied in many
cases by lack of sympathy, understanding or belief. There is now a window
of opportunity for change.... The Working Group started work at the beginning
of 1999, and its report should be available in mid-2001.
A
Natural Approach to Healing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by Barbara
Hepburn All illness, both major and minor, is from an holistic
point of view a combination of physical, emotional and spiritual imbalance.
Each has a knock-on effect on the other. Therefore healing at any one
level will help heal the other two.

Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome and NADH by June Butlin Just as Tim
was initially in denial of his illness, many doctors suffer from the same
problem. They refuse to recognise the condition because they can’t
find anything physically wrong, . . . with many more cases going undiagnosed.
ME a misunderstood
and much maligned disease by Dr Derek Pheby Myalgic encephalomyelitis
(ME) is an illness which for years has divided the medical profession,
yet no-one who has experienced it, or who has had the responsibility of
caring for a family member who has had the misfortune to suffer from it,
can have any doubt as to the real suffering and distress that it can cause.
Coming in from
the cold by Dr Derek Pheby It is not for nothing
that ME, or CFS, has been called ‘the disease of a thousand names’.
While confusing, consideration of these many names is also illuminating
about the disease itself and about scientific and social attitudes towards
it.
Complementary
Therapies for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by John Halford
In view of the fact that orthodox medicine is not yet able to provide
any really effective therapy for CFS, many sufferers turn to alternative
or complementary medicine almost as a last resort.
