You may want to look into this. I work in a health food store for 5 years and remember reading that a much of the problem is related to mineral deficiency. It also has to do with your body's inability to fully rest even when asleep.
There's a company (Enzymatic Therapy) that works with Dr. JacobTeitelbaum that may offer some solutions:

I experienced chronic fatigue (and mild depression) for many years. Since I did not want to take medicines for it, and I strongly believe in holistic treatment, I tried many more natural ways of helping it. This is what I found to be very helpful:
1. Cut back or eliminate refined sugar and white flour products. Something about eating too many sweets or flour products has always caused me to feel depressed and anxious. I've heard this from other people too. I think they also contribute to making me feel tired.
2. I believe I have blood sugar imbalances and have started making sure that I eat at regular times - I try to not let more than 5 hours go between meals - this seems to help with depression. It also helped greatly with insomnia.
3. Flax Oil - I started taking 2 TBSP of Flax Oil per day about a year ago and although the things I mentioned above helped my depression a lot, I still had ocassional bouts of it, it seemed to virtually disappear after adding the Flax Oil. The flax oil also helped with insomnia. The flax oil probably works similar to fish oil - I'd do a lot of research before taking fish oil though, due to the toxicity of fish. There is some controversy regarding flax oil and it's stability, so you might want to research that too - but it helped me immensely.
4. Avoid alcohol - alcohol turns to sugar. I've noticed on those infrequent occasions when I have a few drinks I have a little more depression and fatigue.
5. Make sure you don't have a thyroid problem. I do and I think that at least part of my depression and fatigue had been caused by that. I found no alternative treatment for thyroid that worked and did start taking Synthroid for that. I noticed when my levels were off, the depression would increase.
6. Evening Primrose Oil- I think this has been the thing that helped me the most with my chronic fatigue. After starting to take this and flax oil, my chronic fatigue is now almost gone. I've never read anything about evening primrose oil helping with fatigue, but it did. I started taking this and the flax oil based on recommendations in the book - The Fat Flush Plan - she recommends taking about 400 mg of GLA daily from either Evening Primrose, Borage Oil or Black Currant Oil. I take mine from the Evening Primrose.
Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 10.5 pounds and 17 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks. Cleansing is good for many things including weight loss, fatigue, skin problems, allergies etc.... This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc…. Cleansing works by removing toxins from your body. You get toxins from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc….YUCK! The toxins get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the toxins. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too. You can check out the website or call this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 for more info. The program is not cheap, but it is worth every penny since it works and keeps you motivated. Good luck!
My friend has fibromyalgia and she improved with cleansing.
Yes there are. A little too detailed for this forum, you are welcome to contact me.
I have had chronic fatigue syndrome for the last 10 years of my life and I am only 26 years old. I truely understand what you are going through. I've tried various medical and non-medical treatments and nothing helped. Then someone told me about a natural product called Reliv. I have been taking Reliv for over a year and my chronic fatigue is a thing of the past. I am able to live normally and am very grateful to the person who took the time to tell me about it. Send me an email, and I will tell you more.
Take care and God bless,
