Protocol for ME/CFS induced by herpes veridai viruses

So I got my blood test results back. I've definitely not felt as "well" since my second covid jab and I've nee wondering all sorts of things about potential root cause. Also I had an ebv reactivation and a throat infection after my second jab which only made things worse.
I don't feel like I've...
So this week was interesting.
Since I last posted the 6 days of full on flu like symptoms (I thought I had a virus because my gf got a migraine which lasted about 5 days) and she felt sick herself. No idea if it was or not but as it turned out as soon as I added the egcg back into my regime...
Still on aforementioned v3.2 of the protocol.
So I've tested this 2 or 3 times now. PEM and fatigue do appear to be blocked. This is directly proportional to the amount of time I have been on a beta glucan dose exceeding 400mg per day. When I increased to 1400mg a day I felt worse for about...
I am following the Joshua Leisk protocol v 3.2 The latest protocol can be found here: (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/351302423_DEPRECATED_v32_Specifications_for_Rapid_Testing_of_HASD_CFSME_Disease_Model
Started to feel a bit off this week, thought the protocol was either ramping up...
Managed to do a 35 min walk yesterday in a local country park. Was really nice to get out on a warm evening.
PEM was slow onset the following day (all I had was dizziness as my first immediate symptom about 20 minutes into the walk) - felt pretty much symptom free prior to setting off. PEM...

But I am still on v3.2.
However I've started adding in chinese skullcap root £40 for 500g from Bristol Botanicals. I started...
I didn't know Stephen Buhner had a blog, apparently because all his posts on facebook are immediately taken down by facebook he now posts on his blog instead.
I was reading this blog entry https://www.stephenharrodbuhner.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/covidupdates.mutations.txt.pdf
Came across...
Just wanted to write a quick summary so far.
Where I'm at now
I've been on the protocol about 80 days now. I am still having an immune response after my post covid jab restart of the protocol, I am about 30 days into my restart I'd say.
Immune response was very strong for a long time...
Just a quick update to say that I'm now doing a lot better than I was before, hopefully that will remain over the coming week. I crashed yesterday and with some bcaa's (in two split doses) and some extra glycine (5g)/nac(2g)/choline(100mg)/panthothenic acid(100mg) + 2 litres of water and 3000mg...
These look great, so I am happy this isn't causing me any issues and not a potential root cause of my symptoms:
Well I can tell it's July, pollen fungus and spores have definitely hit me. Very stuffy sinuses, sneezing quite a bit and I would be surprised if that doesn't make my fatigue worse.
So after trialing the old type of Lindens egcg yesterday I feel worse today. Fatigue came back. Either this...
So it looks as if brightcandle had a crash by incorporating new items on v3.31 of the protocol. This protocol was recently released to go after entereoviral infections as well as herpes ones.
He went from 90% down to 5% in terms of hummingbird function. Which I would not have expected...
Felt really good all day today. Was even able to go out at lunchtime. So back to where I was when I began to feel good previously.
EGCG definitely making me overly wired, but I am playing with the doses.
100mg/100mg/25mg today to see how I get on with that. Josh confirmed egcg has a...
Woke up thismorning without much fatigue, I would say the egcg has buffered my fatigue to 80%.
I had no sore throat overnight, although I did sweat overnight which for me is practically unheard of. Although it was pretty hot it wasn't boiling.
So I am pretty amazed, I feel much brighter today...
Took egcg today with glucans and reishi. Even if the last 4 weeks of experiments don't work I've learnt something at least.
125/125/75mg egcg in 3 doses
980mg reishi 3x a day
440mg lion's mane 3 x a day
250mg r-ala 3 x a day
Taking reishi gives a small boost in energy but doesn't heal oral...
Seem to have gotten a lot worse over the last week.
Yesterday almost all day I was dizzy and fairly dehydrated.
Last night I had a sore throat for hours and woke up with muscle fatigue that wasn't there before I went to bed. It's like a switch has been flipped and I now don't even feel better...
Continuing with no egcg tomorrow, checking symptoms with glucans. So far primarily nerve and muscle aches/pains with the glucans, which is a good sign.
Egcg taken out = much calmer not wired/tired all the time.
I realised the other day I hadn't actually tried this protocol without removing...
Thought I'd try some Apple cider vinegar capsules yesterday. Can't actually remember why I was trying these to be honest. Anyway outcome was, throat tissue felt much improved, which has now puzzled me a tad, but it could be a total coincidence to be honest that this occured when I took the acv...
So taking out the beta glucans and higher reishi does + egcg has reset me back to where I was the day before.
Fatigue is still not great, although I do also feel a bit achy which would be much closer to an immune response than a standard ME symptomatic response. Problem is once the viruses get...
This is my second or third day of waking up with bad fatigue. I'm going to take a rest from egcg and glucans and just take 1 reishi capsule today in hopes my body will reset to a calmer state.
My necks also become very stiff but this seemed to happen when I increased the glucans so it would...
