Hello Everyone,
I am new to the group and am in need of some help. I am 99% sure that I have chronic fatigue. I am at my wits end. I have seen doctors, naturalists and nutritionists. The naturalist helped in a way because he did much more extensive blood testing than any doctor, but holistic remidies alone do not seem to help me. The nutritionist was extremely helpful in that I got back a lot of my brain function but still get completely wiped out for no apparent reason. Medical Doctors have been unhelpful if not downright insulting and damaging. I have continued to research and found Jacob Teitlebaum's book which seems like a common sense whole body approach to treatment. This has been the one shining light in hopes of getting my life back. Dr. Teitlebaum does have availability to treat me, but the treatment is a little pricey. I can't find any really solid negative news or shining reviews of him. My "support system" besides my husband and a couple of friends include my very toxic POS family, who has put so much doubt in my mind about going forward with this. Has anyone had any personal experience with this Doctor?
I'm sorry to hear that you are ill and wish you well. Please keep us updated if your do manage to meet Dr Teidlebaum and receive treatment. Kind regards.
condition. I did order his vitamins and learned a lot about the various supplements. Reading
his book also encouraged me to have my thyroid and adrenals checked. Many doctors had
not done a full thyroid panel and I was hypothyroid for a very long time. Later, I saw one of his
films and have also always had a good feeling about him although I have never consulted with
him personally. I would move forward with this if you are able and give it a try. You need to learn to be your own advocate with this, which of coarse takes time and understanding. There always seem to be family members who have differing opinions when it comes to medicine.
I agree with Aussiedi. We are all searching for treatments and cures. Something that may
help you might be a treatment which someone else may not respond to. That's why it's
important to give something a try. Best wishes and I hope you gain some ground here.
