Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells, essential for the
production and management of energy at the cell level. Dr. Sarah Myhill
has spent years studying the relationship between mitochondrial
malfunction and one of the most common problems that lead people to the
doctor's office: fatigue.
In Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic
Encephalitis, Dr. Myhill examines this essential role of our
mitochondria in energy production and why it is key to understanding and
overcoming Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and the inflammation that
often accompanies it: Myalgic Encephalitis (ME). She explains the
importance of healthy mitochondria, how we can assess how well they are
functioning, what we can do to keep them healthy, and how to restore
them to health if problems arise.
Since publication of the first edition in 2014, new research and new
clinical findings have shed further light on a condition that is
debilitating to those who suffer from it, but "all in the head" to many
doctors. The second edition of this groundbreaking book includes new
insights and chapters on why CFS/ME is the most poorly treated condition
in Western medicine, the role of the gut, allergy and autoimmunity, Lyme
disease and other coinfections, reprogramming the immune system,
reprogramming the brain, and the roadmap to recovery.
