Alternative Medicine for Cancer Related Fatigue

 
"As an example of how inflammatory cytokines can cause cancer-related
fatigue, consider the following explanation of serotonin dysregulation.
Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-a) has been shown to be associated
with problems in central nervous system functions, which can lead to a
state of lethargy and weight loss. Specifically, cancer (or cancer
treatment) induced TNF-a increases influence brain chemistry. Raised
TNF-a levels cause the body to increase the amount of serotonin that is
released into the synaptic cleft. Serotonin is an inhibitory
neurotransmitter, which means that serotonin promotes relaxation. The
synaptic cleft is where one nerve “plugs in” to another. The quality of
the connection between the two nerves depends on the level of
neurotransmitters present at this junction."
