    How I put ME/CFS into remission....& even better

    That would make great sense in many cases. Some people I have conversed with have had low butyrate producing bacteria, or a really hard case of someone clearly missing lactobacilifamily of bacteria. Due to the uniquness, I have found that erasing the gut and performing a transplant helps...

    How I put ME/CFS into remission....& even better

    Actually my greatest fear was the notion that Small intestine is to be sterile. I found significant research that debunked that before I performed what I thought was risky at the time. The small intestine isn't sterile, but has a significantly lower level of bacteria. In fact there is...

    But having IGG titers only indicated that a previous infection has happened. Not sure how those would help, almost everyone on planet earth has IGG titers for most herpes viruses and many many more. But I am listening. I know that many doctors still use IgG to indicate that it may be a hint...

    I am taking the research claims from Ron Davis team indeed. The 2018 ME/CFS symposium goes over their clinical data on viruses. I too was shocked to see that in a medium sampling there isn't an increase in IgM markers for viruses in patients when compared to controls. That really all...

    I too suspected Enterovirus as also Dr. Chia in Torrance California focuses greatly on that particular. The Stanford research is definitely pointing to viral reactivation as NOT being the issue for us although viral triggers to hit the threshold of metabolic collapse indeed. Any virus can...

    Still in ever learning mode, what is ABx? I think that is a wise starting point regardless of what it is. FMT should be a last resort, although I don't regret my decision to do it for obvious reasons, but I was quite scared it could backfire. ** Now I see that fear was unwarranted, even...

    It was Much more complicated than making capsules from straight stool. I did use a centrifuge for example. Heavy regard for safety and sanitation and to ensure delivery into the intestines.... Just getting fired up after some quality collaboration with Stanford and having Nancy Klimas offer...

    Great question. I started back in January and the most significant portion of my remission has remained since about March. I did however perform about 9-12 FMT transplantation events between Jan-Mar. I may have been able to get away with fewer and especially if I started resistant starch...

    Much like getting a colonoscopy, one could easily just evacuate the bowels with Epsom Salt (magnesium sulphate labeled for this purpose) and then fast for maybe 8-16 hrs. Remember that our metabolic resources are already dangerously low, so this isn't without risk of electrolytic imbalance...

    How I put ME/CFS into remission....& even better

    Our stories leading up to ME/CFS and while battling it have some remarkable similarities. Yet due to subcategories of this illness, many of us fail to respond to treatments that work for others, and in fact some of us may get worse. The science behind ME/CFS is indeed still in it's infancy. For...

    Allow me to share some insight that I think I have on this. Please note, I am only sharing what I do and I am not encouraging anyone to try this. The purpose however is to show that flu like symptoms should be expected. I have noticed that when I am inflamed, I do not absorb the...

    GOIMURPH, your story is just like mine. 3.5 year ago I was hospitalized for MRSA. continued to get infections afterwards but caught them in time to get antibiotics that did work. Then began my decolonizing journey. However ever since then, I have had the worst GI symptoms, crushing...

    Hypercoagulation

    I see a great number reporting the use of heparin and pleased to hear of good results from it. Some with poor kidney function though are denied this by their doctor for good reason though. In such a case, talk to your doctor about prescribed phlebotomy (blood removal). Even...

    high red blood count

    My remission started to take hold well when I removed the excess red blood and febrin from my blood. I feel stronger and cognitive issues have resolved. Antibiotics may work long term now. There is a theory that white cells including NK cells can't function in our viscous blood. I wished i...

    Prescribed phlebotomy restored my life. I would assume that my condition is different than others. There is some great information (evidence) that thick blood is one of our likely issues. Some with higher levels of Hct, others with protiens and anti-body overproduction caused by virus. Men...
