Dr. Kogan shares if there are alternative treatments available to women coping with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Dr. Kogan:
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a very interesting and tricky disease to treat. We have so many different possibilities underlying this broad diagnosis. Patient should receive a very thorough medical workup. Blood workup is especially important not to overlook lupus, not to overlook Lyme disease, not to overlook certain vitamin deficiencies or heavy metal toxicities.

Chronic fatigue syndrome should be a diagnosis of exclusion, once we have excluded all the other medical reasons for this person feeling so badly fatigued, and it should be treated as such. Most people tend to think that chronic fatigue syndrome is caused by a virus, whether it’s a cytomegalovirus or Epstein-Barr virus, the scientific community is still undecided as to what virus is causing it, and depending on where we think the problem is, we tackle the problem from that angle.

For people who are vitamin deficient, we supplement them with appropriate vitamins. For people who are experiencing heavy metal toxicity, we administer chelation therapy. We do not administer intravenous chelation therapy here; it’s done orally and through the water detoxification, and once again, for people who are experiencing a likely viral syndrome, we are utilizing immune-boosting supplements.
