As we all know here infammatory cytokines is a huge component of CFS, and other chronic illnesses like auto immune disease, lyme etc..
In some cases people get in a vicious cycle of relapse or prolonged illness due to multidudes of reasons but notably methylation issues, enviromental and food toxins, heavy metals, and ongoing infection.. All of these issues cause notable raise in infammatory cytokine release to fight infection, or to protect the body.
I often see a lot of info on this site about the importance of proper supplementation and new drugs, tools, or treatments for recovery but am shocked to see the lack of info on things like diet.
I had posted in another thread the importance of proper diet, as many other recent posters have recently advocated, but does everyone know that having a strong anti inflammatory diet will ALSO reduce and reverse the Inflammatory response of cytokines?
Most notably having a strong omega 3, to 6 ratio, avoiding food toxins that create an inflammation response, and eating foods that help to restore a balance of normal cellular growth, function, and harmonization without food triggers that cause dumps of excessive omega 6's, and things that prevent healing and keep one in a vicious cycle..
Alongside any protocol that is needed, heavy metal detox, methylation, treating underlying infection, I believe this to be as equal of a component and necessary for full remission and not bumping into issues of relapse as well..
I have posted some links to the best nutrition sources I could find again in this thread and really highly urge everyone to go out and read up as much as possible! I really believe that a proper diet is a huge component of coming through chronic illness and is definitely something everyone should take seriously to get full health back!
Diet and nutrition sites most reputable, I posted Chris's best article series as reference as well

Most notably Turmeric has been found as the best inflammatory cytokine reducer, returning cytokines to normal states of function.
I also highly recommend fermented fish cod oil as a dietary supplement for anyone on here looking to reduce inflammation. It has a good amount of vitamin a included, as well as D, and vitamin K2 which no one usually includes in most modern diets, but so vital for good health! The liver cod also helps to balance fatty acid ratios and act as a natural anti inflammatory..
This is the only brand I find trustworthy and reliable for this supplement as well!
