Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) With Iodinated Activated Charcoal (IodoCarb®)

Summary

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a devastating and complex disorder. People with CFS experience overwhelming fatigue and a host of other symptoms that are not improved by bed rest. Interestingly, many of the symptoms experienced by people with CFS are identical to symptoms caused by long-term low-level exposure to mercury, which is called micromercurialism. This study will examine if the mercury binding substance IodoCarb(r) can improve the health of patients with CFS.
