Question looking for something to boost energy

can someone recommend something to give me more energy..I have FM/CFS and an hypothyroid,my thyroid is so slow,3 times slower than it should be..I'm on meds for it but I'm so tired all the time. whatever I take would need to be gentle on the stomach as I have a very bad ulcer
thanks for the help
Betty

Re: looking for something to boost energy

Instead of looking for something to take, consider getting rid of things that may be worsening your problem. Read about Infrared Sauna Therapy (And don't listen to the naysayers - it's been proven over and over that sweat contains toxins). This is not to start an argument simply to give you something to consider. Look very carefully at your diet, if your food is coming from a grocery store it is most likely laced with trace amounts of pesticides, not to mention the food additives your body has no need for. Detox your liver - lemon juice, pure bottled water (not tap water), Sam-e, milk thistle. There is an excellent book on the subject by Austrailian MD Sandra Cabot.

To think that you are going to find a pill to fix your problem is wishful thinking. Sure the "B" Vitamins are known for energy, but how much and which ones do you need? Read about ginsing (probably spelled wrong). But work on detoxing, just getting the crap out of your body will help you recover your energy. Complex issues need to be resolved from the ground up - throwing a pill - wether it is a drug or a vitamin or an herb on top of other problems is a STOP GAP - it helps the symptoms but does not address the cause. I like you wish there was a pill, but there is not. Nutrition is a complete process of many nutrients and no one nutrient will do the trick you need the full spectrum of vitmains, enzymes (often overlooked), minerals, pure water, and a detoxification plan.

Carlons fish oil is greath, Whey protein supplements wihthout artificial sweetners will help, anti inflamatories like Zyflamed (New Chapter) or another brand of tumeric or ginger can help. Think "whole" and you'll be on your way. Some of these will have to be taken during the middle of meals in order to avoid stomach problems.
