Dear Michelle, I have only just joined the forum right this minute. And I sincerely feel that I can help you with CFS. Ishall have to go into a deep 'think' to formulate my reply and you will hear from me very soon. In the meantime as a starter and it is just that but a very important one...I don't know what condiments you are using, but trying to be macrobiotic I am sure it is probably based on sesame. I suggest you cut that OUT and use ONLY ,CELTIC SEA SALT. This is salt from France and has absolutley remarkable healing powers. Take a hit on the Celtic Sea salt site and surf the net to find out all you can about Jacques de Langre.
