Shoutout to @mitoMAN for showing me some of these old studies and to @Hip for his old post here - https://forums.phoenixrising.me/thr...ually-proven-enterovirus-causes-me-cfs.44086/

In that old thread, I saw for the first time this 1993 study. This study shows that w/ the interferon alpha treatment, most of those who recovered no longer had Coxsackie.. and those who did NOT improve, still had detectable Coxsackie

Again, nothing really new here, but it very much reiterates the Dr Chia studies that occurred much later.

Yea absolutely. And so this alpha, a Type I interferon.. these are what Dr Chia was using in his treatment studies. Type III is theoretically better for us and w/ way less side effects.

But I guess the point I wanted to share here, is that there's this strong correlation between the active Coxsackie virus and symptoms. Much like Dr. Chia's studies.

Understand, I was just thinking of my own greedy needs😁 for other viruses🤣🤣
