the constant use of 'chronic fatigue' would suggest otherwise

We are the only UK Chronic Fatigue clinic specialising in personalised Integrative Holistic CFS Treatment.

there is a video that I haven't watched.
Our chronic fatigue clinic team led by world-leading expert Dr Dani Gordon specialise in the management of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME and related fatigue spectrum illnesses conditions through personalised holistic programs.

CFS/ME is a complex nervous system and immune system disorder also involving the cell powerhouses called the mitochondria, gut health including gut wall integrity (eg. leaky gut/leaky brain hypothesis), chronic inflammatory response or CIRS and in many cases unrecognized chronic exposure to environmental toxins including mycotoxins and mold.

CFS is slightly different for everyone, with triggers ranging from an acute stressful event, extreme physical, emotional or brain stress or after an acute viral infection or vector-borne illness like lyme disease or covid.

Specialized immune cells in the brain called microglia, which are involved with upregulating the brain-immune axis and in brain inflammation may also become dysfunctional as part of CFS.

A main regulatory balancing system in the brain and body, the endocannabinoid system can also become dysfunctional in CFS.

There are also many conditions that may be mistaken for CFS or overlap with it and these need to be picked up on and addressed simultaneously in order to get well.

You can recover from CFS/ME and similar conditions even if you have been sick for a long time and have ‘tried everything.’

How Our Chronic Fatigue Clinic Is Different

Holistic North American CFS Treatment
We specialize in the North American Integrative Medicine approach to chronic fatigue treatment compared to standard UK care which focuses heavily on outdated medication only approaches.

Integrative Medicine (IM)
IM is the latest medical speciality recognized by the American Board of Physician Specialities (ABPS). It uses all appropriate CFS treatments plus standard medications for the most effective treatment with fewest side effects. It looks at transdiagnostic symptom clusters for interrelatedness and is suited to complex, overlapping conditions where standard medications alone are not enough to get people well.

We Manage All of Your Care
We have many chronic fatigue patients with multiple conditions including Chronic Fatigue, EDS, IBS, Depression, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, Long Covid, MCAS, Mould Illness, gut / food sensitivities and ‘mystery’ illnesses. Many are also neurodiverse with ADHD and/or ASD traits and require a different approach. The drivers for these conditions often overlap and share underlying mechanisms. We treat these together so patients avoid multiple clinics and fragmented care.

CFS Treatments
Holistic Medication Management
Many of our chronic fatigue patients have failed standard medication treatment and are extremely sensitive to side effects. We offer individualised medication options including alternate dosing and combinations, off-license and novel medicines.

is this legal in the UK?
Cannabinoid Medicines
Cannabinoid medicines help regulate our endocannabinoid system (ECS) which in turn regulates our stress, trauma, immune responses, our sleep wake cycles and affects gut health. ECS dysfunction is common in chronic fatigue which is why these medicines are highly effective for multiple symptoms including pain, anxiety, mood, sleep, fatigue and can also help those with ASD and ADHD. They are generally well tolerated and patients normally see improvements within weeks.

In the video she references medical cannabis, which is legal in the UK through certain licensed practitioners I think.

Medical cannabis is legal in the UK if prescribed by a specialist for certain health problems.

To be eligible for medical cannabis, you need to have a diagnosed physical or mental health condition that has not been relieved by traditional therapies. A specialist will review your records to confirm that medical cannabis is the best option for you and that you don’t have any contraindications.

The term 'wellness' is one the biggest red flags of all about a clinic or claim.

That’s used as a pseudonym for the broader meaning they have for mental health now (which twists meaning mental illness with people being happy into a bundle so people who are fine can use it to excuse indulgences whilst when ill people need something not awful it’s suggested they have depression and used against them )

I’m just so sick of all this shape shifting everyone is happy to allow and play along backing up that not responsible characters are allowed to do

We just never get out from under them, fight one battle to prove you’ve a real issue that the bs behavioural doesn’t work fir and they just dumb down the team further and bring in new terms to trap you under

the existence of places like this I think it needs to be accepted are because of huge faults in the system that wants to call itself official but behaves as abusively and unscientifically to us - for us.

we can’t win of course because we are idiots if we do try these and not bothering if we haven’t fixed ourselves

I'd be curious to try it. The only possible problem is that I get palpitations sometimes and might have an occasionally irregular heart beat, and I think this might be a contraindication.

A study of 2.4 million hospitalised cannabis users has found that those with an arrhythmia were 4.5 times more likely to die while in hospital than those without. The research is presented at EHRA 2021, an online scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).1

“People should be aware of this devastating outcome and be careful when using cannabis if they have a concomitant heart problem,” said study author Dr. Sittinun Thangjui of Bassett Healthcare Network, Cooperstown, US.

@hinterland that's good to know. I've tried OTC cannabis gummies for menopausal symptoms, mostly for sleep, but I also get palpitations so it's good to be aware of side-effects. The cannabis did help with racing thoughts before bedtime and provided a more restful state. I stopped taking them because they were high in sugar so I'm going to try again in a different form. We have cannabis shops everywhere here in Canada.

My x-financial advisor's back pain has been greatly helped with prescription oil cannabis. He is able to get up in the morning and walk without pain.
 
Cannabis is legal in Canada and I have access to medical cannabis, though not for myself (not that it's any different). I've been using it for years.

Not surprisingly: makes little to no difference overall. It's great for sleep, to alleviate pain and makes the soul-crushing nature of this wretched illness more tolerable for a few hours. This is not a treatment, it's coping by sedation. Well, I'd say it makes a tiny difference overall simply for how much better my sleep is and my mood is much improved because I can escape a bit from how horrible my existence is. On primary outcomes, null. On secondary outcomes, better than nothing. This is not competent health care.

The most absurd thing is that this pseudoscientific drivel is actually less ridiculous, a bit more accurate, and slightly more effective, than the standard approach. Basically, when hippies with something to sell have a better solution than world-renowned experts in a profession, you have serious problems with this profession. But this is one standard we have seen in so-called evidence-based medicine: if some BS pseudoscience is no worse than some other BS pseudoscience, then it's, well, it's not effective but somehow some people will pretend anyway.
 
I take cbd capsules sometimes. They help period pain. I also drink the Trip cans at functions where people are drinking alcohol (usually at a wake, sometimes Xmas) they’re nice. But they’re only like a healthier version of alcohol. They’re taking the edge off and helping you forget your problems.
Someone did try to tell me they cure ADHD and cancer…
