You can overcome generalized tiredness, disabling fatigue or outright exhaustion and restore high-level wellness to the body and mind. One’s ability to conquer symptoms and signs of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is proven by a newly completed, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study undertaken in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, USA. The naturopathic medical study was conducted by a consortium of MDs and NMDs working together in the Clinical Research Division of the Apostolic School of Natural Medicine, Peoples University of the Americas, in Ponce City, PR.

Author of this impressive study model and protocol for the treatment of CFS and other health problems is the school’s medical director and its Chief of Clinical Research, Peter R. Rothschild, MD, PhD. Dr. Rothschild was ably assisted by the investigation’s managing director, Jesus Garcia, MD. With colleague input, the two medical scientists ran a 120-day test to observe therapeutic responses to RM-10 [TM] for the reduction of symptoms in chronic fatigue syndrome.

Dr. Rothschild states, “We had highly significant results with the multi-mushroom formula, brandnamed RM-10 [TM]. For affected patients, there was a remarkable percentage of remissions and a quite noticeable improvement in symptomology overall.

“I am so impressed with the preventive value of the food supplement that I had tested, I now take it myself every day,” says Dr. Rothschild. “At age 73, I am in perfect health, and RM-10 [TM] along with other Garden of Life formulas, are the only supplemental nutrients I use routinely to keep me that way. My supplementation includes a combination of RM-10 [TM], six caplets daily in divided doses before meals; FYI [TM], one caplet taken three times daily to prevent rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia; Clear Energy [TM], ingested three daily for periodic energy boosts; Primal Defense [TM], dosed at three per day to insure proper intestinal function; and the Male Vitality Formula of Revivall [TM], a dose of six caplets per day. I take nothing else as add-ons to my food supply. The clinical studies I have conducted prove that these supplements are the best nutritional preventatives for me to maintain my good health.”

The Clinical Study Criteria Followed by Dr, Rothschild

People suffering from clinically confirmed CFS, who have been shown to be resistant to any conventional forms of therapy were selected to receive the RM-10 [TM] formula. Such components include the ten medicinal mushrooms: Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi), Cordyceps sinensis, Coriolus versicolor, Lentinula endodes (Shiitake), Agaricus blazei, Grifola Frondosa (Maitake), Hericium erinaceus, Poria cocos, Tremella fuciformus, and Polyporus umbellatus. Adjunctive to the mushrooms are certain herbs: Aloe vera and Uncaria tomentosa (Cat’s Claw). These ingredients are processed and potentiated by Poten-Zyme[TM], a natural fermentation using beneficial microorganisms and their enzymes to release the active ingredients in herbs and inactive nutrient inhibitors.

The individuals chosen for participation in the study were between 25 and 60 years old, suffering from chronic exhaustion of more than six months’ duration, showing an imbalanced immune system, and feeling recurrent random muscle soreness. These sick people must not have been treated previously with tranquilizers, antidepressants, steroids, and/or chemotherapeutic drugs for at least three months before the study’s beginning. And they should not have received any prescription medicines for at least three months.

No persons were accepted as participants if they were declared in critical condition by a licensed health practioner or were afflicted with any acute infectious disease, diabetes, cardiovascular illness, renal condition, or some other immediately life-threatening pathology. They were excluded if they responded allergically to any component of RM-10[TM] or were alcoholics or drug addicts. Convalescents of any trauma more recent than three months were not taken into the study.

Over a period of four months (from January 17, 2002 to May 19, 2002), this test was undertaken of RM-10[TM] under the research direction of Dr. Peter Rothschild and with the daily management of Dr. Jesus Garcia. They carried forward a standard, ambulatory, randomized, mono-therapeutic, double-blinded regime on 35 CFS patients with an equivalent control group. Using caplets of RM-10[TM], the test preparation being marketed since June, 2001 by Garden of Life, Inc. of Jupiter, Florida USA, furnished striking therapeutic results for patients.

Objective of the investigators was to determine the palliation or attenuation of chronic fatigue syndrome in both sexes among 35 affected people between ages 25 and 60 years of age. Taken with eight ounces of pure drinking water, three caplets were taken 3 times daily before meals. Each test subject’s total daily dosage amounted to 9900 mg of RM-10[TM].

Dr. Julian Kenyon Defines Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

In the November 2001 issue of the Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients, the renowned clinician, Julian Kenyon, MD, MB, ChB, Medical Director of The Dove Clinic for Integrated Medicine located in Hants, England, defined chronic fatigue syndrome as “…a debilitating disease of increasing social and economic importance” with its prevalence in the United States averaging 50 cases per 100,000 population.
