An article by Dr. Martin Pall discusses how the effects of post radiation syndrome mimicked the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. He believes that this provides more evidence to support his NO/ONOO(-) cycle theory of chronic fatigue.
In this theory, inducible nitric oxide is increased in the body by any number of different reasons (viral infection, stress, chemical exposure).
A new study about the brain blood flow and oxygenation in chronic fatigue patients confirms what i’ve seen in my own lab tests and brain scans.
This CFS study
shows that chronic fatigue syndrome patients had reduced oxygenation and brain blood flow after exercise. Their total blood volume and oxygen levels were significantly reduced in the prefrontal areas, when compared to control subjects.
A previous study out of Italy also shows altered brain bloodflow and metabolism in CFS patients when compared to healthy and depressed subjects.
