Probably the one thing everyone wants in today's society is energy. 
Energy, in some cases, is more valuable than money.

Energy is defined for our purposes as the ability to move things and get things done. 
Lack of energy is the subject of many books, articles, writings and vitamin sales.
 
Major complaint for millions of Americans, is lack of energy.

This article will explore some of the new discoveries and breakthroughs regarding 
energy and how to get it. First, we are going to look at and discuss the key
points we have found that cause a loss or absence of energy.

The first group of factors are infections, and in this group we find different types. 
Most common infections in this country which are causing a lack of energy are: 

CANDIDIASIS, (candida albicans) 

This is a yeast-like creature which lives in the intestinal tract of humans. It is normal to find
 small amounts of this yeast in the system.  When one takes a medication such as 
antibiotics or birth control pills, or any other medication known to disrupt the 
imbalance of friendly flora in a person's intestinal tract, this yeast creature 
begins to overgrow and rises to harmful amounts. 

In excess, this creature is known to produce vaginal yeast infections in women, 
prostatitis in men, jock itch in men, athlete's foot fungus, strange red rashes, 
digestive complaints of all types including bloating, gas, diarrhea or 
constipation, loose stools, rectal itching, and discomfort after eating.

Candida can  produce food allergies and make one very sensitive to their 
environment.  This can be to the point where fumes, odors and smells can
 cause headaches, depression, anxiety, and other strange symptoms. 

Candida has been known to make one very spacey, foggy and fatigued. 

Fatigue is one of its main symptoms.

Parasites follow the Candidiasis.  

Parasites occur in many different forms, and they're becoming more common in this country.

Parasites occur in microscopic forms such as those so small you would need a microscope   
 to see them. Or, in larger form (commonly referred to as worms).   Yes, they are "worms". 

To the naked eye they literally look like worms and they inhabit the person's intestinal 
tract.  Parasites and worms have the capability of producing severe fatigue. 

Symptoms of parasites and worms are very varied. 

Some of the symptoms are bloating, indigestion, acid stomach, rectal itching, rectal
itching that's especially bothersome at night, waking up frequently at night with or 
without rectal itching, rashes on the body, and flu-like symptoms. 

Insatiable hunger is also very common with worms and parasites, and intestinal pain.

Candida, worms and parasites rob one's energy in several ways. 

One way is by causing malabsorption. 

Malabsorption means "not to absorb". This is referring to vitamins and food in 
one's diet.  When one has worms and parasites and it develops into 
malabsorption, the person cannot absorb nutrients from their diet. 

They can become anemic or deficient in many different vitamins or minerals.

Candida, parasites and worms also sap one's energy by draining the immune system. 

Since your immune system is always fighting with these substances, we then 
have an energy problem based on the immune system being drained.

VIRUSES must be considered next. 

The viruses can produce similar symptoms to candida, parasites and worms. But with viruses, 
it's also very common that one will have sore throats, swollen glands and flu-like symptoms. 

Headaches are also common with viruses. 
Viruses drain one's energy by draining one's immune system.

Bacterial infections of the intestinal tract are also common. 

Klebsiella, citrobactor, proteus, and bacillus bacteria and pseudomonis are commonly 
found in people with yeast, parasites or worms. They can also be found by themselves. 

These bacteria can cause a similar effect to the yeast, parasites or worms 
by disrupting one's ability to digest and absorb nutrients from food.

From the information above, we see that lack of energy can be caused by a drain 
on one's immune system;  caused by these harmful organisms, which can then lead to 
an inability to absorb nutrients from the diet, so it really wouldn't make any difference 
what type of vitamins or diet one was on, if one was infested with these organisms.

POOR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM -- Is another major reason for lack of energy.  

Keep the Thought:  

A poor digestive system is usually accompanied by candida, parasites or worms.
 
But, if we were to say that in some people it is not, we would simply state that
 inability to properly digest one's food and utilize the nutrition in the 
food will cause energy problems.

The next area where we find severe energy loss in people is straight into the area of 

Nutritional Balance of the Body 

Several systems in the body that are primarily responsible for energy production.

 One is the reproductive system.   Anyone who is deficient in reproduction hormones will      
experience a lack of energy. This system can be supported with various nutrients: 

Vitamin E, selenium, manganese, B-complex vitamins, essential fatty acids, 
and some particular herbs that support this system. 

It's very common that the reproductive organs become toxic, especially when one has
  candida, parasites, worms, or viruses. In that case, the system will not accept
 the nutrients until the body is cleansed.

NOW FOR THE LIVER 

The liver is a common area which if deficient or not functioning, will cause lack of energy. 

The liver is responsible for the storage of fuel that the body will use later or to burn up 
as energy. The liver is also very involved in one's utilization of protein, 
which is essential to produce energy.

Many people with liver problems develop what is referred to as "copper toxicity," in that 
their body has too much of the element copper. This can cause a severe energy loss.

Many times people with thyroid difficulties are found to have liver problems relating to copper.

Energy is produced by two main systems in your body, 
the Adrenal and Thyroid Glands. 

The adrenal glands act like fuel pumps in that they pump fuel in your body 
over to your cells so that the thyroid gland--acting like the spark plug--can ignite it. 

High fat diets, refined sugar and toxic metals such as copper and mercury can inhibit 
your adrenal function, as well as your thyroid function, causing massive energy loss.

When we speak of nutritional balance and the body's ability to produce energy, we're 
many times really looking at the ability of these glands that we've spoken of 
to utilize the nutrients in your diet, combine them with food, and create energy.

You feel that you now have a good "handle" on the subject of ENERGY ....

Well .... maybe, but you need to check out ...... the tie-in subject = 

CONSTIPATION and ENERGY

At MBA we believe that natural 
problems are often solved with nature's solutions.

There also are things where technology has the answer.
