One of the most spectacular feats of such creatures as bats, bees and snakes is hibernation. For months at a time, these animals essentially go into power-save mode. Their temperature drops, their metabolism slows down and oxygen consumption is limited to minimal levels.

This basic adaptation helps them survive the harshest of environmental conditions.

 

The PNAS study, led by University of California at San Diego researcher Robert K. Naviaux, looked at metabolites in the bodies of people with CFS and those without the condition. The number of participants was small — just 84 people, 45 with CFS symptoms and 39 who served as a control.

 

Naviaux looked at 612 different metabolites, which are intermediate substances such as glucose produced by cells as they break down larger molecules and produce energy. They found that 80 percent of the metabolites were lower in those with CFS. They also found what they described as “abnormalities” in 20 of the metabolic pathways.

All this suggests that the metabolism of people with CFS is markedly slowed down.

 

In a Q&A to the CFS community, Naviaux described this theory of humans having a cell-danger response in more depth: “Historical changes in the seasonal availability of calories, microbial pathogens, water stress and other environmental stresses have ensured that we all have inherited hundreds to thousands of genes that our ancestors used to survive all of these conditions.”

 

 

If that were the case, he explained, curing people of CFS may be akin to waking the body up. Davis said it’s possible that the treatment may not be anything radical; it might involve putting the body back in balance with the right mix of diet and supplements.

The body can sense season and time of the day through the proximity of the sun. You can literally feel Yang peaking during summer solstice, then fading day by day until it bottoms out on winter solstice.
