Dr. Ken Korins explains how homeopathy works in the case of chronic fatigue. “Homeopathy,” he said, “is a type of energy or vibrational medicine. It works by stimulating the person’s innate healing forces. In some traditions, for instance Chinese medicine, that’s called the chi. In homeopathy, we call it the vital force. It relates to chronic fatigue because chronic fatigue, as well as many other conditions, represents a disbalance in the person’s system, particularly on their energy level. When that is corrected, many things fall into place.

“I treat chronic fatigue and Candida together, since many of their symptoms overlap. Although the cause of chronic fatigue is not known, the Epstein Barr virus, a member of the herpes virus group, is often involved. The symptoms may persist for months or years. All these viruses have one thing in common—they establish a lifelong latent infection in the host. In fact, by the end of adulthood most adults do demonstrate antibodies against the Epstein Barr virus, indicating a past infection. Those with the most serious symptoms generally have the highest antibody levels to Epstein Barr. This may actually indicate that the chronic fatigue syndrome is a problem of decreased immune function and not just a disorder caused by a specific virus.

“Susceptibility is a very important issue because the presence of the virus is not enough to cause the syndrome. The terrain must be fertile to enable the virus to propagate and cause disruption to the organism. Any condition that compromises immune function such as AIDS, cancer, chronic kidney failure, rheumatoid arthritis or other primary, or secondary immunodeficient states.”

Detoxification is important in chronic fatigue. Dr. Korins says we must look at “external toxins such as chemicals and drugs as well as internal toxins such as Candida and free radicals. Stimulation of the elimination organs, such as the bowel, liver, kidney, lymph nodes and skin are extremely important. The immune system must also be addressed. There are many nutrients that can help address this but at least people should be on a good multi-vitamin, with carotenes, vitamin C, and zinc; this is extremely important for the immune system and also for the glandular system. Glandular extract such as thymus, spleen, and liver can be very beneficial, as well as certain botanical support such as goldenseal, echinacea, licorice, astragalus and aloe vera, to name a few.”

Homeopathy works by stimulating the body’s innate healing potential and the goal is to be curative, not just to suppress the symptoms, Dr. Korins says. “The trick is to find the right remedy. I suggest you pick two or three symptoms that are most disturbing, even though you might have a list of 20 or 30, and then find the remedy. If the indicated remedy does not seem to be working, try using what we call a nosode, the homeopathic remedy for Epstein Barr virus or Candida. This can be very effective in and of itself.

“Gelsemium is a major remedy for chronic fatigue syndrome. It is good for patients who get extremely tired with the least exertion.
