Отрывок из книги

Adrenal fatigue and chronic fatigue are one of the most common reasons for doctor visits to naturopathically-oriented general-medicine practices. I would like to report on my many years of practical experience, and in so doing describe an energy medicine method which I developed, namely Psychosomatic Energetics, with the aid of which it is very often possible to treat chronic fatigue successfully.

The collective term "chronic fatigue" encompasses some very diverse clinical pictures. Many patients suspect a hormonal cause (hypothyroidism, diabetes etc.), but lab tests quickly show that this is very seldom the case. Also, neoplastic tumors, cardiac insufficiency, chronic infections and other somatic clinical pictures can be related to fatigue, so that a thorough physical and technical clarification is necessary. For obese males whose wives report on breathing cessation lasting for seconds, accompanied by snoring, it might indicate the presence of a sleep apnea syndrome, in which case the patient should be referred to a sleep therapist. It is also necessary to exclude the possibility of endogenous depression. However, even if one does all this correctly, competently and thoroughly, referring the patient, if needs be, to the appropriate specialists, it very often does not lead anywhere.
