Intracellular Injury Caused By Chronic Breathing Constriction

Introduction
The first cause of CFS involves chronic under-breathing and breathing constriction. There is a minor, slight, automatic breathing constriction which is always happening. This chronic breathing constriction is an unconscious, automatic, behavioristically reinforced defense against anxiety. The chronic breathing constriction has been going on for years continuously years prior to the onset of symptoms. Eventually, this chronic breathing constriction causes some kind of intra-cellular, widespread injury. The injury cannot heal because the breathing constriction which caused it is ongoing. The CFS sufferer must pay attention to his breathing and counteract this breathing constriction. The CFS sufferer must breathe normally for more than a year, continuously, as the intra-cellular injury gradually heals.

It is important to understand that CFS is not just being “out of breath” in the normal sense. Instead, there is some kind of intra-cellular injury which was caused by being mildly out of breath for years. As a result, the condition will not immediately improve upon breathing normally, because the intra-cellular injury needs time to heal. The patient must breathe normally, continuously, for more than a year, as the intra-cellular injury gradually recovers. No short-term recovery should be expected upon breathing normally.
