All of our treatments are individualized and a patients's program may change rapidly if his symptoms show such change is required for his continued improvement. This depends on what you consider as normal. If patients will cooperate, we can usually bring them to a state where they are able to function effectively and productively-to have a real life once again. If there is a strong hereditary weakness of the gland system we cannot, at this stage of medical art and knowledge, change them so that they do not have to be careful of their future stresses. But if they will take care and learn to know their own bodies, they can live a useful, happy life.
Recovery is like putting money into a bank account.
Once a patient has built up a reliable reserve of vitality in the adrenal gland, he will feel like his old self once again. However, to build such a supply he must create more energy each day than he expends. This is not easy to do. Usually once a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patient begins to feel better he quickly uses up that new energy and none goes into his bank account. This may ebb and flow pattern may continue for months, or even years, if the patient does not understand the requirements for his full recovery.
