Over the summer I had about 6-7 weeks of spontaneous remission of my symptoms. I was nearly my old self again after 12 years of CFS. Then it was back to business as usual after a beach vacation in late July. Trying to put together the pieces of this puzzle. Since it was so recent I have a good list of every factor (I believe) that may have contributed to this. Now working on re-attaining this remission.
I believe I have Histamine/Mast Cell/Lectin issues and am working some supplements into the mix. The Vitamin C I take has Rutin and Hesperidin both of which can address Histamine/Mast Cell issues. During this time I was also eating Naval oranges also high in Hesperidin and Limonene. Also eating carrots which is one of the veggies that have antihistamine properties. Things seems to be pointing to histamine issues and possible I'm an overmethylated type.
Update: Starting to lean toward the idea that the Hesperidin is the key here. I got some in the mail on Friday and taking about 100mg that day of was feeling as good as I did over the summer. Will be working on a titration for this the next week or two.
Daily:
Organic Carrot in the AM
100 mg Hesperidin (being careful not to take if feeling well. Assume it's doing something with histamine and don't want to deplete reserves all the way. Want to stay in the "zone" with histamine)
*8am 10-20mg Source Naturals p5p and 500 mg Jarrow tryptophan (*not taking currently)
500mg Dr's Best timed release Niacin about noon (some times on workout days)
50-100mg Nature's Way Niacin (want the niacin flush) 20 mins before workout (about noon) on gym days (4 days per week anaerobic resistance training - weights. Seems very important to exercise after niacin)
16 oz MTHFRAde during workout
@ Lunch:
1000mg Ester-C 24 Hour Immune Support. (Contains: 1000mg Vitamin C, 110 mg Calcium, 102 mg Bioflavonoid Complex including (Rutin, Hesperidin)). Also afterwards calcium ascorbate 800mg.
Before bed:
EPA Fish Oil, Beta Care All, Multi E, Dr's Best High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate 100mg
The Niacin, exercise and Ester-C I believe are the core of this. The p5p and Trypto now actually helping to make serotonin now that I think I've got enough B3 in my system. Not sure if I've stumbled upon Dr Yu's Niacin Detox Cleanse by chance or some other thing is happening like correcting a deficiency.
General: Diet trying to limit junk and not overeat.
Still working on this had success early on with large dose of B3. Had a day of absolute bliss so I believe I'm on the right track.
Notes:
From what I'm reading below and just from a Niacin and Histamine angle I should be low histamine and a high methylator. From a detox POV who knows?

Want to link this post of mine from a year ago where I was taking the Vitamin C that has Rutin and Hesperidin.
