Combat Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia with Red & near IR Light Therapy
Much research over the last 5 years suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction, brain function, and inflammation are at the core of chronic fatigue. Because, red & near infrared light therapy has huge benefits to mitochondrial and brain function, and it powerfully decreases inflammation, regular sessions on Light therapy help people struggling with chronic fatigue, muscle pain, sore throat and "brain fog".

CONCLUSIONS:
Our observations strongly implicate mitochondrial dysfunction as the immediate cause of CFS symptoms. However, we cannot tell whether the damage to mitochondrial function is a primary effect, or a secondary effect to one or more of a number of primary conditions, for example cellular hypoxia, or oxidative stress including excessive peroxynitrite. Mitochondrial dysfunction is also associated with several other diseases and this is not surprising in view of the important role of mitochondria in almost every cell of the body, but this fact appears to have been recognised only in recent years.

Low-Level Laser Therapy for Fibromyalgia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis concludes that patients receiving LLLT demonstrated significantly greater improvement in their Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) scores, pain severity, number of tender points, fatigue, stiffness, depression, and anxiety than those receiving placebo laser.

acupuncture, however it can be done on its own.
