The cause of the tiredness and depression, may be due to a virus in the acute or recuperative phase, but in the long-term fatigue must be due to other mechanisms.As varied as are our size, shape, skin and eye colour so are the more subtle nuances of antibodies and enzymes which each cell produces.It is postulated that it is mostly atopic patients who will also react abnormally to certain foods, inhalants and skin applications.Sugars (refined foods) play a major role in leading to fatigue by their chemical, physiological, pharmacological and glycosylogical properties.Bread plays a major role in provoking the symptoms of depression in the chronic fatigue syndrome.What is suggested is that in a genetically predisposed group of people food intolerance causes symptoms akin to both the major and minor criteria of CFS.
