    How-I-Recovered-From-CFS-part 2

    Radio: I disagree, hydrogen sulphide can inhibit mitochondrial function relating to sulfate-reducing bacteria as well as many other gut toxins. I think mitochondrial function is absolutely related to gut dysfunction. I'm not saying this is the only contributing factor as viral inflammation could...

    Hello Kina, "Progressive mitochondrial disorder" is more of a genetic terminology. I agree with you about FM not being a genetic mitochondria disorder. We are talking about acquired mitochondrial damage from metabolic imbalances related to dysbiosis. There are many other contributing factors...

    My recovery protocol, ways to improve it anymore?

    The human body is a complex machine that cannot be easily described in a quick summary. The protocol is not bad. But, I think you need to focus on diet and eliminate 25% of your supplements.

    My recovery protocol, ways to improve it anymore?

    We need to have some understanding of the root cause of disease before we can utilize high dose nutrient support. Yes, high dose vitamin C can be very beneficial for cancer treatment and many other chronic conditions if we know what we are treating. Dr. Amy Yasko recommends we use vitamin...
