He lectures to patient, physician and research groups internationally, and is the lead author of groundbreaking, “gold standard” research on effective treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia, which was published in the Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (8:2, 2001). His latest study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine focused on the effects of a unique 5-carbon sugar called D-ribose for Fibromyalgia patients. The research found that 2/3 of the patients studied showed improvement after only 12 days of therapy. The average increase in energy was 45 percent, with an average 30 percent improvement in well-being. Corvalen, a proprietary D-ribose product of Bioenergy Life Science, Inc., is designed to improve the metabolic health of hearts and muscles and is used to provide nutritional support to sufferers of Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Teitelbaum knows CFS and fibromyalgia as an insider. He contracted chronic fatigue syndrome while attending medical school and had to drop out for a year to recover. In the ensuing 30 years, he has dedicated his career to finding effective treatment. His website, www.endfatigue.com, provides resources for those seeking help with CFS and fibromyalgia, including a free patented software tool that can analyze chronic fatigue symptoms to help patients and their physicians determine the best course of treatment. The website also provides information and treatment advice covering general "health A-Z" topics from the perspective of integrative medicine.  

As a leading expert and researcher in chronic fatigue and pain, Dr. Teitelbaum has helped thousands worldwide to regain their energy, overcome pain and start enjoying their lives again. 

Dr. T lives in Kona, Hawaii.
