The Mickel Therapy Clinic, Auckland, Mickel Therapy - Effective Treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, or perhaps more correctly Myalgic Encephalomyelopathy and M.E. for short, is widely used interchangeably to describe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The ‘Mylagic’ purely means painful muscles and as most sufferers of M.E will know this can be extreme. The ‘encephalomyelitis’ however suggests inflammation of the brain, although studies have failed to prove this.
Much research goes into M.E. and often involves looking for viral clues or other infective causes. Some of the most commonly suggested causes are that M.E is due to an unknown virus, Borrelia or Lyme’s Disease, Epstein Barr infection (Glandular Fever) or Candida.
Mickel Therapy believes that M.E, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia are all caused by a dysfunction of the Hypothalamus which Dr Mickel has dubbed ‘Hypothalamitis’.
Through his experiences in treating M.E over the last 10 years Dr Mickel believes strongly that the true causes of ME are not the viruses and infections which most people think they are. Mickel Therapy looks at the 'bigger picture' and understands that the viruses and infections that people experience only present in the body once the body has already become weakened as a result of prior factors. It is these prior factors that Mickel Therapy uncovers during treatment.
The fact that clients with cases of M.E claim that Mickel Therapy has treated them successfully and did not involve any attention to the virus or infection, even if tests showed they had been present, suggests that the case for them being causes must be in doubt.
Mickel Therapy is hopeful to prove this point once and for all through the Clinical Trials on M.E, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.
Disclaimer
Please note that Mickel Therapy's hypothesis of 'Hypothalamtis' and success stories are based on recovery experienced by clients who have used the Mickel Therapy techniques. Whilst many client have recovered, as shown by client testimonials, the results have yet to be backed up by medical research. A clinical trial is currently underway, the results of which will be disseminated when the study is complete.
