Many people have found benefit from her protocol but it is by no means universal. I have found her webpages and books really helpful.

The Facebook group Support for Followers of Dr Myhill's Protocol has some of the most knowledgeable and generous ME folk I have met.

My partner Elle started to follow Dr Myhill's protocol about a year ago, building up to it supplement by supplement. She quickly found a number of the recommended supplements caused problems for her one way or another (allergy / sensitivity / gut objected / etc), so she substituted different versions. Once she'd made a few variations we worried we might not be doing the protocol 'right', so might miss the benefits. We also worried that by going off-piste as we were, we had no real idea what we were doing.

That led us to look for a doctor who would supervise it all - or that's what we thought. Actually the doctor we found, who is a nutrition specialist, recommended a number of additional supplements, plus all sorts of other stuff (dental work; probiotics, prebiotics, anti-virals ...) Expensive, yes, but we decided stopping Elle getting any worse, or achieving any improvement at all would be worth the investment. And Elle hasn't got any worse - arguably she has a little more energy in recent months and after losing a scary amount of weight she's recently put some back on.

So, I'd say Dr Myhill started us on a good track and I'm delighted we found her website, her books and her protocol. We'd have signed Elle up with her but she doesn't take new patients these days.

Hi PeeWee

I am glad you have found some help for Elle. Do you know which supplements have helped her or is it part of an overall package?

Dr M uses anti-virals a great deal but you have to be her patient to receive those and, as you rightly say, she is not accepting anyone new just now.
