Quantum Biofeedback Results.
Quantum Biofeedback can help relieve the pain and symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome. It takes two to four weeks for the improvement to be felt and six months or more for the body to fully recover energy and function normally. Most people respond to treatments within three to six months.
Combined, it is important for the individual to obtain an appropriate nutritional therapy program according to their biochemical "identity" and individual needs. It is equally important to avoid smoking. Nicotine destroys the immune system and it takes 3 months to restore the immune response. For better oxygen absorption, 30-minute daily walks are helpful. They also help with blood circulation, brain function and stimulate the lymphatic system. Also, if done in the morning, vitamin D is taken in through the sunlight in the body.
To better treat or prevent chronic fatigue syndrome is to turn the person to a positive attitude, maintaining mental balance in conditions that cause stress. Quantum Biofeedback therapy contributes to this goal. At the same time, a treatment that includes herbs, superfoods and vitamin supplements is important to fight viral infections, improve energy, supplement enzymes to improve digestion, absorb and reduce inflammation. Factors that if ignored, can re-trigger chronic fatigue syndrome.
Finally, it is worth understanding how balancing the chemistry and biology of the body is what enhances the healing of the body, detoxifies the liver, strengthens the nervous system, relieves muscle pain and improves sleep. With vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and herbs according to the needs of each individual, it is possible to rebuild the immune system.
