Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, author of Fatigued to Fantastic, discusses the S.H.I.N.E. protocol for reversing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. He addresses the new initiative to change the name of CFS to “systemic exertion intolerance syndrome (SEID); Does exercise still have a role in addressing symptoms? What supplements benefit sufferers? What free or inexpensive resources can help patients find answers? Dr. Teitelbaum unveils a new project: a study of natural interventions to slow or reverse Alzheimer’s Disease progression. He argues that the best cures for challenging diseases won't be forthcoming from conventional medicine, but rather, require an amalgam of innovative orthodox and natural approaches.
