    Lack of energy, just like hunger and thirst, is a bodily function which keeps us alive and safe from fatigue                             • Spiegel-bestselling author (over 1 million copies sold)
    and exhaustion. But when sleep is no longer restorative, we experience a different kind of tiredness. One that
    makes us feel ill and the roots of which we are often unable to identify.                                                                • Previous books by the author have been sold to:

    Anne Fleck, M.D., closely examines the secret causes of constant fatigue: undetected infections or metabolic
    dysfunctions, food intolerances, cell diseases or environmental pollutants can all sap our strength. She explains
    how we can strengthen cellular and organ functions, how we can detox correctly, reduce stress and use nature’s
    powers to gain a new lease on life.
