It is now recognized among fatigue experts that there are dozens of potential triggers for chronic fatigue -- from gut issues, to psychological stress, to lack of metabolic stimulation (hormesis), to poor nutrition, and others. One of biggest triggers for chronic fatigue may be chronic viral infections or chronic bacterial infections. Some of the most common infections that trigger chronic fatigue are Lyme disease and Epstein-Barr virus, which, if not treated properly (or if your lifestyle habits don't allow for optimal immune function) can become chronic and difficult to get rid off. This week’s guest, Dr. Tim Jackson had been suffering from fatigue symptoms since childhood but it was not until 2009 he learned that he had Lyme disease. The antibiotic he got to treat the disease did not cure it and he dismissed the diagnosis as a false positive. In 2011, he got a second test and learned, to his surprise, that he tested positive for both past and current Lyme infection. This revelation lead Dr. Jackson to develop a holistic approach to heal chronic viral and bacterial infections in his clients. Listen in, as Dr. Tim Jackson and I will discuss chronic viral infections and chronic bacterial infections, how they are linked to fatigue, and how you can fix them.
