"Chronic fatigue is also related to the adrenals. Have you looked into that? "

Yes, but what is the cause and what is the effect? I take kicorice root, DHEA(25 mg a day) and increased my salt intake to boost my adrenals. I guess I could increase my DHEA intake, although some urge caution with doses over 25 mg a day.

I think wnat many think is a copper overload is really a zinc deficiency. I was just reading about taurine, which is basically only found in the diet in meat. While the body can synthesize it from methione and cyctein, zinc, vitamin B6, and vitamin A.
This page http://www.flcv.com/cfsfm.html mentions excess taurine loss in fibromyalgia. Another page I read mentions excessive taurine loss with candida overgrowth or other infections, or high levels of stress. One also needs a crucial enzyme to make tautine.

It seems like if a vegetarian doesn't supplement with B12,zinc,
iron, carnitine, creatine, and taurine, they might run into trouble.
