Re your message about Dr Bansal.
You will see from my earlier posts where he has his private clinics.
His main NHS role is as lead for the Sutton hospital CFS service. I saw him there once 8/9 years ago, but when I was rereferred to the service last year, it was impossible to see him, just a nurse.
I arranged to see him privately this year. He offers a list of general advice including many supplements. He was willing to prescribe antivirals for me; now in my 5 th month and maybe some improvement. He tends to work empirically; rather than doing loads of tests, he sees your response to treatment, although he will look at any previous tests you have.
Appointments can seem not long enough although at my last appointment when there was something more complex to discuss, he allowed plenty of time.
He is very busy with a private practice as well as being the local NHS lead. He is also involved in research, and has published at least 2 articles this year and last year so is very occupied.
So has an interest in the science as well as clinical practice.
I hope this is of help.
EDIT: addition of para beginning Appointments.......
