Hi there,
I saw a clinical nutritionist here in the UK for my M.E. after a relapse in 2016.
My symptoms then were moderate (80% as defined by the mesupport.co.uk website's M.E. Disability Scale https://www.mesupport.co.uk/index.php?page=m-e-disability-scale) and they have now moved to mild-to-moderate (60%).
This clinical nutritionist had me complete two lab tests from Genova Diagnostics Europe: 'Adrenal Stress Profile' and 'Metabolic Analysis Profile (Urine)'. Following the results of those two lab tests she concluded that the glandular fever I first got in 2008 which preceded my M.E. was part of the problem and that we needed to "deactivate" the virus.
She prescribed me the following supplements (photos of ingredients attached):
Humic-Monolaurin Complex from Allergy Research Group
Bio-Glycozyme Forte from Biotics Research Corporation
B12-2000 (with Folate and B6) from Biotics Research Corporation
I have been taking the above supplements daily now for approximately seven months. My symptoms have moved to mild-to-moderate. I can't say whether these supplements have been the key to my slow improvement or if things like rest and pacing have been more the key to my recovery. But I figure the supplements haven't hurt especially the B12 supplements.
My question for this forum is: has anyone ever heard of "deactivating the Epstein-Barrr virus" through supplements as a key to recovery from M.E.? Is that just a turn of phrase or is that actually nonscientific?
Thanks very much
