Good Day All,
Apparently, other than the usual TCM viewpoint of CFS/ME proposed by Giovanni Maciocia & other TCM doctors, it seems there's another radical CFS viewpoint that's much more complicated by Heiner Freuhauf, a TCM doctor & Chinese Medicine Scholar. It seems the syndrome was already first recorded in China 3,000 years ago in TCM classical texts, along with the proposed radical treatment method. Gu syndrome was also very briefly mentioned before in this forum:

"GU Syndrome": Mysterious illness of Super-infections of multiple different parasites/pathogens of funguses, viruses etc all at the same time or appearing on and off but never-ending even after multiple years or decades.... Or chronic inflammation that never goes away for endless years. Symptoms include "constant flu-like feeling", brain fog, unexplainable illness origins or viral readings despite never stepping into other countries/places with known viral problems, neuromuscular problems of muscle weaknesses etc, progressing states of physical exhaustion along with inexplicable weird symptoms... Chronic Parasitism.
Apparently, the above illness categorisation was recorded 3,000 years ago in China & have remained all but forgotten by all modern TCM doctors, even famous doctors, but was revived by Heiner Freuhauf because there were quite some patients who fitted the above symptoms profile but was never satisfactorily treated using the usual TCM framework treatment. Hence, he went to dig out ancient TCM classical texts and found GU syndrome was written there..
Compared with usual TCM treatment which may take months, "Gu Syndrome" treatment takes an average of 3 years & the treatment violates certain existing TCM framework principles too. Every single herb in "Gu Syndrome" treatment must have anti-parasitic (funguses, viruses etc) properties & every single herb under a certain category (out of 5 or 6 categories) must be changed within 6 weeks or less to prevent Parasitic mutation & adaptation to avoid destruction. The idea is about fumigation, filling the body so often with only anti-parasitic herbs that no parasitic herbs can survive.

An Interview of Gu Syndrome with Dr Heiner:

Another different Interview:

I will mention more about the complicated TCM-relevant issues to this approach if anyone has any interest in this.
Wish you all a Good Day,
