Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating condition that produces daily fatigue lasting for six months or more. There is no known cause or treatment at the present time.   

Nutritional Supplements

Based on our experience to date, we have identified just the right combination of K-PAX ENERGY and IMMUNE products that can provide people struggling with chronic fatigue an excellent improvement in their energy level and sense of well-being.* 

These two products are based on our patented immune formula to provide the mitochondria of all cells high octane fuel in order to generate increased energy. Our ENERGY product has additional ingredients added that stimulate the brain to be more active, focused, and alert.    

Chronic Fatigue Protocol

Start by taking 2 IMMUNE tablets and 1 ENERGY tablet 2X/day (with breakfast and lunch). Make sure to drink at least 4-6 glasses of water per day. Several days later, add one additional tablet of either ENERGY or IMMUNE to bring you up to the ideal dosage of 4 tablets 2X/day.  

(If you are already experiencing a good increase in your energy level on this treatment, then you would add an additional tablet ofIMMUNE to help further fuel your recovery. If you can still use more energy, you should add an additional tablet of ENERGY to each dose. The ideal total dosage is 4 tablets 2X/day)

The effective dosage range of K-PAX Immune Support Formula is 2-8 tablets per day based on the need to improve your immune system's strength.

The highly potent antioxidants found in K-PAX Immune Formula (which are not found in most other multivitamins) are especially important in producing its observed benefits. They act to healthfully increase the energy production of immune system cells. The way each of these specifically function is listed below:

1. Acetyl-L-Carnitine
This nutrient is the primary ingredient that increases cellular energy production at the mitochondrial level. It specifically increases the flow of free fatty acids into the mitochondria which directly boosts energy production. It has also been shown to be of significant benefit to people with nervous system disorders such as peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimer's disease by improving nerve cell conduction.

2. Alpha Lipoic Acid
This nutrient is believed to be one of the cell's most important and potent antioxidants. It works to help detoxify free radicals that are generated when the cell is under stress (from both HIV infection and antiviral medications). This nutrient has also been shown to improve symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in patients with diabetes.

3. N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC)
When NAC is supplemented, studies have shown that there is a significant decrease in mortality from HIV infection. NAC also helps to thin mucous and keep the lungs and nasal passages free of infection.

4. L-Glutamine
This amino acid provides an important energy source for intestinal and muscle cells. People with HIV infection need as much support of their GI system as possible to help counteract the effects of antiviral medications and the presence of unhealthy organisms that often grow in digestive systems of people who frequently use antibiotics.

The HIV viral load is a measure of how many HIV viral particles are circulating in the bloodstream.

In clinical practice, as well as in our research study, there is no evidence that K-PAX Immune Support Formula has a direct effect on the viral load.

We at K-PAX strongly recommend that any advice or decision about whether to use chemotherapy should be discussed with your physician. While we recommend the use of our products to help maintain strong immune function in patients both on and off chemotherapy, your doctor's recommendations supercede anything you read on this website or in our product literature. We are planning a research trial to study the ability of K-PAX Immune Support Formula to prevent cancer recurrence in patients who have undergone standard cancer treatment. We will update you on the progress of this study through this website.

K-PAX Immune Support Formula provides a high-octane fuel source for the cells of the immune system. This fuel is burned by the part of the cell called the "mitochondria". The mitochondria are the cellular furnaces that burn fuel and make energy for every cell of your body.

It is a proven fact that both HIV infection, and many of the antiviral medications used to treat it, place an enormous strain on the mitochondria and increase the potential for the mitochondria to become poisoned and die.

The nutrients in K-PAX Immune Support Formula help the mitochondria within every cell of the body stay healthy and strong by providing them with pharmacologic dosages of potent antioxidants. This helps them resist the toxic effects of both antiviral therapy and HIV infection itself.

Strong and healthy mitochondria produce abundant energy and live longer. Because of this effect, CD4 cells may live longer and the total CD4 count can increase significantly over time.

The above statements are based upon the results of a double-blinded, placebo-controlled research trial which showed that the K-PAX Immune Support Formula raised the CD4 count an average of 24% over 12 weeks in HIV-infected individuals also taking antiviral medication. These results were published in the August 2006 issue of the Journal of AIDS {JAIDS 2006;42(5):523-528}.

We at K-PAX strongly recommend that any advice or decision about whether to take antiviral medication should be discussed with your physician. While we recommend the use of our products to help maintain strong immune function in patients both on and off antiviral medication, there is currently no data on patients not taking antiviral medication upon which to guide medical treatment recommendations. We are currently planning a research trial in patients not taking antiviral medication and we will update you on the progress of this study through our website.

It has been our clear experience that individuals who experience gas and bloating when taking K-PAX Immune Support capsules are usually starting out with a weak or imbalanced digestive system.

This imbalance can be due to a bacterial imbalance, unhealthy diet, intestinal parasites or other harder to define conditions.

The solution to this problems is as follows:

1. Give the Protein Shake a try first - the vitamins in the Protein Blend are dissolved better and usually better tolerated.  It can also be taken with or without food.  Taking 2 scoops taken 2X/day would be the equivalent dosage to 8 caps twice a day.

2. Start on a Probiotic supplement to improve the bacterial balance in your GI tract.  K-PAX Probiotics are a highly potent, effective means to accomplish this goal.  Taking 2 capsules 1-2X/day should do the trick.  You might also want to try K-PAX Colostrum which is another GI system strengthener - 2 capsules 1-2X/day is the proper dosage.

3. Ask your doctor to test you for intestinal parasites and treat them if they are found.

4. Minimize the consumption of hard to digest foods such as dairy products, fried foods, beans, and coffee.

5. After putting the above recommendations into practice, you might try going back to the capsules or alternating them with the Protein Drink.

Adding a powdered fiber supplement to K-PAX Protein Blend works perfectly well. There is no effect on the absorption of either product.

After ten years of experience prescribing Coenzyme Q-10 to patients with immune system disorders, Dr. Jon Kaiser (who developed K-PAX Immune Support Formula) became skeptical of its ability to produce clinically observable effects in his patients.

After a thorough review of the medical literature on antioxidants and the immune system, Dr. Kaiser substituted acetyl L-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid, and N-acetyl cysteine for the Coenzyme Q-10 in his formula. These potent antioxidants are better supported by clinical research.

After making these changes, significant clinical benefits were observed. The boost in CD4 counts, observed in a recently published clinical research trial of the K-PAX formula, was accomplished without the use of Coenzyme Q-10.

The addition of Coenzyme Q-10, when taken as a high-quality, soft gel formulation, can be a helpful addition to the use of K-PAX Immune Support Formula for people looking to increase their energy, and improve the health of their nervous, cardiovascular, and immune systems.

The amount of iron contained in the maximum dosage of K-PAX Immune Support Formula (16 capsules/day) is 18 mg -> no more than 100% of the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance). However, people living with Chronic Hepatitis B and C are less able to store and process iron efficiently. Therefore, in some cases iron can build up and cause an overload state (hemosiderosis).

K-PAX Protein Blend was specifically designed to support the immune system and livers of people with chronic liver disease and it does not contain iron.

In some cases, if a person can have their iron level checked and monitored (called a serum ferriten level), and it is in the lower part of the normal range, K-PAX capsules can be used while under a physician's supervision.

Diabetes is a known cause of immune suppression. People with diabetes experience more frequent and serious infections than the general population. Therefore, K-PAX Immune Support Formula can be especially helpful to them by supporting their immune systems.

K-PAX Immune Support Formula and K-PAX Protein Blend also contain nutrients that have been shown in research studies to benefit peripheral neuropathy, a common complication of diabetes. These nutrients are alpha lipoic acid, acetyl-L-carnitine, and vitamin B6.

K-PAX Protein Blend contains sugar derived from processed brown rice therefore, depending upon the amount consumed each day, a diabetic should carefully monitor their sugar levels until stability has been achieved.

Vitamin B6 plays an active role in supporting immune function. The Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences concluded that reports and studies showing the occurrence of sensory neuropathy at doses of vitamin B6 of less than 200 milligrams/day are weak and inconsistent. The research literature indicates that neuropathy is unlikely to occur in adults taking B6 at doses of less than 500 milligrams/day. K-PAX Immune Support Formula contains 100 milligrams of Vitamin B6 per 8 capsules.

Our brown rice protein is the first rice protein to take advantage of the whole grain rice kernel using the nutrients in both the bran and endosperm layers. It is a complete protein containing all 9 essential amino acids plus 10 non-essential amino acids. Rice protein is the most easily digestible and hypoallergenic of all protein supplements. It is very low in factors causing intestinal gas and is suitable for vegan diets.

Whey protein is derived from milk, contains about 5% lactose, and is an animal-based protein. Soy protein is difficult for many people to digest and may cause allergic reactions. K-PAX Protein Blend is Kosher and offers a vegan alternative to whey and soy.

Many micronutrients are water soluble. This means they dissolve quickly in water, are absorbed quickly from the digestive system, and are also quickly excreted in the urine. Since the goal of K-PAX therapy is to always keep important micronutrients available to your cells, twice daily dosing can best provide your immune system the optimal level of support.

Lipodystrophy can be defined as changes in body fat and appearance often associated with HIV infection and/or its treatment. Sometimes these changes may involve the loss of fat in the face and/or extremities (lipoatrophy) while at other times these changes may involve an abnormal accumulation of fat in the abdomen or neck region. Lipodystrophy has been shown in several research studies to be caused in part by antiviral drug toxicity to the mitochondria of fat cells as well as by HIV infection itself.

By providing high dosages of potent antioxidants, K-PAX Immune Support Formula may help fat cells resist the oxidation and premature death that can lead to lipodystrophy.

Your physician's guidance should always supercede anything you read on the internet. However, K-PAX Immune Support Formula may help to bolster your immune system, especially when it is started at least a couple of weeks before undergoing radiation or chemotherapy.

It is a reasonable approach to avoid taking K-PAX for one week immediately after receiving your dose of chemotherapy. This may help to minimize any nausea associated with chemotherapy as well as limit whatever possibility exists that K-PAX micronutrients could help protect cancer cells from the toxic effects of chemotherapy, though there has never been a research study showing any protective effect by micronutrients on cancer cells occurs.

After one week has elapsed, resuming your full dosage of K-PAX until your next dose of chemotherapy might be the best strategy. Then repeat in a similar fashion with each subsequent round. We strongly recommend that you share with your doctor that you are taking a high-dose antioxidant supplement to support immune function and that you jointly decide on the best course of action.

Protein is the raw material used by your immune system to make antibodies and new cells. It is also necessary for maintaining a healthy amount of muscle tissue as well as replenishing the millions of intestinal cells that are lost each day. Dozens of studies have shown that, if protein intake is deficient, the immune system gradually weakens and serious infections may occur.

The amount of protein a person requires on a daily basis depends on several factors. These include a person's weight, activity level, and if you are HIV(+) whether or not your viral load is completely suppressed by antiviral medication. A person with a high viral load requires more protein to maintain their CD4 count because more cells are being lost in the battle with HIV.

To best estimate the amount of protein you need on a daily basis, take your weight in pounds and divide it in half (weight X 0.5). You should use your target weight if you are significantly underweight or overweight. This gives you the number of grams of protein per day to help keep your immune system strong. If your viral load is high (greater than 50,000 copies/ml) you should add another 10% to your daily protein intake. Similarly, if you are very physically active or work out several times per week, add another 10% to your total.

This gives you the ideal number of grams of protein per day to consume for good immune system support. For a list of the number of grams of protein contained in many common foods, visit the Medical Condition Info section of our website.

Two heaping tablespoons of K-PAX Protein Blend provides you with 20 grams of high quality brown rice protein and the equivalent of 8 capsules of K-PAX Immune Support Formula with no artificial ingredients. It mixes with water without a blender to make a very refreshing, high energy, immune boosting beverage. This product is currently available through the New York State Medicaid program by prescription. See the Insurance Info section of our website for additional details on Medicaid reimbursement.

Because some nutritional experts have expressed concern about the potential for Vitamin A toxicity in individuals with weak livers, coupled with the stress of taking many medications, all the vitamin A was removed from K-PAX Immune Support Formula shortly after the research study was completed. The vitamin A in K-PAX Immune Support Formula is now in the form of 100% beta-carotene, which is water-soluble and completely non-toxic even in very large amounts.
