It appears some progress has been made on the mechanism of causing CFS, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
I had moderate CFS for 4 years in the late 1980's immediately after typically having had a strange debilitating sickness (lasting for 1 month). In my case, the symptoms disappeared upon having my 13 mercury amalgam fillings removed and replaced.
Mercury is a severe neurotoxin, as is fluoride, and at the time I used the bad toothpaste and got the fluoride treatment at the dentist. No more.
Why is the USA one of the only advanced countries that permit fluoride to be so used? This is what we put in pesticide to kill insects. Perhaps some want us to have "brain fog"?

Believed to affect at least a million people in the U.S., the condition is now increasingly termed myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, or ME/CFS for short.
Many patients see the name "chronic fatigue syndrome" as trivializing and misleading, giving the impression that they're simply tired or depressed. In fact, they're experiencing profound exhaustion that isn't relieved with sleep, flu-like symptoms, muscle pain, "brain fog" and various other physical symptoms, all of which characteristically worsen with even minor exertion. (A 2015 Institute of Medicine report proposed the name "systemic exertion intolerance disease," but it hasn't really stuck.)
The symptoms can range from mild to extremely severe, with about a quarter of patients so ill they're mostly or completely confined to bed. Now, the Stanford researchers have linked ME/CFS to variations in certain cytokines, immune-signaling proteins, that track with illness severity. The study results were published online Monday in the the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. ...
