ATP and energy production in patients with Chronic Pain and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Explanation:

Chronic pain and Chronic fatigue are two conditions of explainable causes. Many time persons complain that they have to go through a battery of tests before they find that they have ruled out every possible disease and then there are no other choices left. There are no specific causes and there are no specific cures; although there has been strong correlation to traumatic events being a cause. Many patients are left to be treated with anti-anxiety, depression and ADD/ADHD medication to relieve a plethora of symptoms.

Recently isolated studies have been done to treat these conditions by fortifying the mitochondria and replenishing the electron transport chain with vital components such as Magnesium and Coq10. Over a 50% relieve has been reported on patients that add a few more supplements to their diet aside from these.

The breakthrough here is to understand how to treat a disease by providing what the body is lacking rather than shutting off the pain sensors which are reporting pain; a signal that there is trouble.

The concept here is that Chronic pain and chronic fatigue is of an unknown cause and has an unknown cure. What was intriguing was that a condition that is so debilitating can be managed with supplements available on the market.  To explore this further would be to take these supplements myself and see the effect it has on a personal level.
