Chronic Fatigue
Condition Description
Fatigue that lasts more than six months without an obvious cause
Common Symptoms
- Undue tiredness
- Often paired with other symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, headaches, feeling excessively cold, muscle aches, or joint pain
Underlying Causes
Causes can be broadly divided in to two main categories: environmental and non-environmental causes.
- Common environmental causes include subclinical hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, food allergies, chemical sensitivity, nutritional deficiencies (especially mineral deficiencies), mold toxicity, and yeast overgrowth
- Non-environmental causes are numerous and include anemia, cancer, chronic illness. Since most physicians are well-versed with such causes, these are rarely missed
Traditional Approach
- Look for non-environmental causes; if found address the issue(s)
- Where no cause is found, the diagnosis is chronic fatigue syndrome, which is treated with antidepressants, anti-anxiety pills, or counseling
- Associated symptoms like muscle pain, headaches, low grade fever etc are treated symptomatically
EHAC Approach
- Look for non-environmental causes; if found address the issue(s)
- Conduct a detailed history and physical examination and appropriate testing to uncover the environmental causes
- Treat depending on the underlying cause

Story:
After two years of feeling sick most of the time, I'm happy and relieved to finally find the cause of my ailments. I had visited so many different types of doctors for my various symptoms. Two different dermatologists put me on antibiotics for over five years. I now realize how harmful that was for me.
Within two weeks of my candida treatment, the diarrhea subsided, the bloating improved, back and neck pain not as severe, skin clearer, cravings gone, I'm not as fatigued, and I have no more problems with yeast or respiratory infections. I've even lost about 7 pounds from being on the candida diet. It's been two months since I've begun treatment here and my general sense of well-being has dramatically improved. In addition, I used to suffer severe PMS 10-14 days before my period. My last two cycles were very mild with minor cramping the day before. Hallelujah!

Story:
It has only been 6 weeks that these symptoms were part of my life, a part that I thought would never leave. They came into my life for no reason that I knew of when I was about 28 years old. I am 51 years old now. Many years were lost trying to find some medical help to stop the hurt. I could not find any. Dr. Sultan’s diagnosis of a magnesium deficiency has been an answer to prayer. Everything that was is now gone away. The symptoms of this sickness are no longer a part of my life, and for that I am forever grateful to Dr. Sultan and his staff. Thank you.

My success story is probably a lot like yours. I had lost some weight, woke up tired every day, went to bed tired, and had terrible headaches. Basically I got up and went to work at 8 am, and went home at noon and took a nap. Now I work full time and feel 100% better! Thanks.

Also used sunlight therapy and 6 “Basic Preventative” vitamins – from this office – daily. Result: After having chronic fatigue syndrome …. For 9 years and couldn’t get out of bed, I am now in hyper drive at 38 and love it. I can raise my twins, I have energy, can volunteer, and go back to work. Seeing tons of friends, participating in tons of activities. I kept up the B.P. vitamins and sunlight therapy for 3 years after seeing Dr. Sultan (just as backup). It has now been 5 ½ years and I’ve never been healthier in my life.

Story:
When I first came for treatment, I was sick about twice a month for a few days each time. I was vomiting a day or so each time. I felt awful. I was skeptical about the treatment at first, but saw later I felt much better. While I’m still having some problems with agoraphobia, I feel much better to be able to deal with things now. Thank you.

Story:
For over 5 years, I had experienced severe chronic headaches, excessive fatigue and severe PMS, anxiety, depression, and pain. After a 6-week bout of severe depression and about 20 Tylenol tablets each day, I decided I couldn’t live like that anymore. My 4 children needed a “real” mother, not the irritable and sad person I’d been for 5 years. In desperation, I contacted Dr. Sultan.
Now, eight months later, I have been able to expand my career as a labor assistant and lactation consultant, since for the first time in my life I have the energy most other “normal” people have. But most of all, my kids now have a mom who has the energy to “run around” and play with them, and who is no longer irritable and “snapping” at them all the time. My headaches and PMS problems are almost completely gone. Now I can finally have the career I wanted, helping people with birth and babies, and above all, I have the loving family and home atmosphere I’ve always dreamed of.
