Hey guys. I didn't have CFS (at least not officially) but I have had issues like this and wanted to share my solutions.

#The big solution

Creatine. Take it. It's a molecule that plays a role in the ATP energy cycle, which is obviously important here.

#The other big ones.

Liver. Eat it. Chicken liver primarily (beef liver is very high in copper and personally I wouldn't eat it weekly for years on end). Here's my recipe: Soak in a lemon juice and water bath for 24 hours, stir once halfway. Drain and dry. Cook with salt, pepper, ground thyme. Cooking it in bacon fat seems to work well, cook two strips of bacon and use the fat left in the pan. Coconut oil works well too . Many of the vitamins are water soluble so I have a bit every second day instead of a big weekly meal. You drop the lemon juice after a while when your taste buds adapt.

Eggs. Hard boiled, I eat 1-2 a day.

#Around the edge solutions:

Bone broth. I think it helps heal the gut and digestive track.

Fish oil.

*Never tried it but I wish I would have: Digestive enzymes.
