A lot of patients without ME/CFS end up being diagnosed or otherwise labeled with CFS. It doesn't mean much if a random "CFS" patient on the internet says something helped him or her. Though of course we're happy they're feeling better
Additionally, people have spontaneous recoveries which have nothing to do with the dozens of improbable "cures" they were taking at the time. Grilled oranges, sauerkraut, water pills, supplements, vitamins, thinking happy thoughts, exercise, blueberries, herbs, coffee enemas, poo pills, lights, saunas, cold showers, and a hundred other things are all supposedly The Cure, according to hundreds of different people.
The only things they have in common are a complete lack of supporting scientific evidence or a biologically plausible mechanism. Grilled oranges, fasting, and/or a raw vegan diet do not cure immune disorders.
Hi,
I just wanted to clarify that I did not get this fasting protocol from an internet post, but from a friend of a friend. He says he was a fully bedridden CFS patient, which I have no way to positively confirm, I just have to take his word for it. Believe me, I am as skeptical as anyone can possibly be about ever treating this illness, I have tried just about every treatment there is, but each year is worse than the previous, and I'm desperate for anything. When you are disabled and bedridden, how much worse can it get?
