Gland problem

My 10 year old son having problems for about 6 weeks with glands hurting in his neck, symtoms are closing of his throat, headaches, dizzy heads, pains in legs, throat hurting really bad, sleeping all the time no energy.

Have been to doctors had penicllian and 4 bottles of amoxocillian. He has had blood test for glanduler fever came back negative, said he has post virual fatigue syndrom.  What can I do now?

Has your son had his potassium level checked? Also is he getting to much sodium in his diet check all the food containers in your home and see the sodium to potassium levels. A nutritional deficiency may be causing the symptoms Multivitamins are a good place to start you need the following
five nutrients to convert carbohydrates into energy Vitamin B1 (thiamin),
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (niacin), Lipoic acid, Pantothenic acid.
If your son is  missing any one of these nutrients, carbs don’t break down properly, and your body produces muscle-
tightening lactic acid instead. Your cells also become crippled at generating energy from burning sugar.
The processed foods you eat are depleted in these nutrients, and food fortification programs don’t contain lipoic acid and pantothenic acid.
I'll bet his multivitamin doesn't contain lipoic acid and pantothenic acid,
either, because they’re expensive ingredients.
Just adding one, simple potato to His daily diet could give you an extra 1,000 mg of the potassium you’re cells are begging for. For even more potassium, try some fresh orange juice.
                      
                         Food Potassium (mg)
6 oz orange juice 1,436, 1 cup beet greens 1,309, 1 cup dates 1,168,
1 cup raisins 1,086, Medium potato with skin 1,081,
1 cup lima beans 955, 1 cup cooked spinach 839,
1 cup pinto beans 746, 1 avocado 720, Banana 422.
