Question 1

are testo boosters unhealthy? e.g s.a supplements testo booster

Accepted Answer

Probably unhealthy: Real testosterone pills, gels, etc... do work, but they are used only for certain disorders in which doctors have seen good research evidence that testosterone would help, or for problems that doctors have years of experience suggesting testosterone would help. The "pills" and "supplements" marketers try to sell as testosterone boosters are unresearched, unregulated, uncertain, and may be unsafe.

Question 2

what supplements or other otc item(s) help to relieve severe-exhaustion stemming from cfids? thank-you!!

Accepted Answer

Comprehensive Rx: To effectively treat CFIDS one must address the causes. Many have chronic infections (Lyme, EBV, mycoplasma, parasites etc.), hypothyroidism, food sensitivities etc. These can be difficult to diagnose. I advise a strong multivitamin with L-5-MTHF, CoQ10,PQQ, NADH, Ashwagandha, Rhodiola etc. but please see an integrative Dr. for a comprehensive approach. See https://secure.endfatigue.com for more.
