You seem to have tried everything - have you also tried what Dr Kruse suggests? He is very pitchy and I doubt that everything he says is true, but his theory about natural sunlight and DHA sounds reasonable. Basically he says, get as much DHA as you can, ideally from fresh seafood; and get as much natural sunlight with proper retina exposure, or get a UV lamp (like Osram Vitalux 300w) and a near infrared bulb, and avoid LEDs and energy saving CFLs as much as possible. He claims that electron transport in the body is impaired if either DHA or retinal UV exposure is absent. I've noticed a lot of energy improvement since trying that, but have to take it further to be sure. Some people at phoenixrising have started intranasal infrared/laser therapy and reported great improvements, though those devices cost up to 1k (I think the mechanism is that near infrared helps repair mitochondrial membranes in the brain, which an intranasal laser can actually penetrate).

Note before doing this that antihistamines (with one exception) inhibit tanning. I presume this includes H2 blockers such as zantac/ranitidine "histamine induces melanogenesis of human cultured melanocytes by protein kinase A activation via H2 receptors." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022202X15407730 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022202X15... Another reason sunlight+tan might be helpful, is that your tan deals fights heavy metal toxicity: Recent research suggests that melanin may serve a protective role other than photoprotection.[36] Melanin is able to effectively ligate metal ions through its carboxylate and phenolic hydroxyl groups, in many cases much more efficiently than the powerful chelating ligand ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA). Thus, it may serve to sequester potentially toxic metal ions, protecting the rest of the cell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanin
