THE FIRST 19 POSTS IN THIS THREAD HAVE BEEN MOVED FROM THE THREAD ABILIFY - STANFORD CLINIC PATIENTS AS THEY WERE OFF-TOPIC
I would go for further than this, no supplement has really significantly and globally improved the symptoms of ME regardless of severity level.
It’s always a thorn in my side given how many posts and threads over the years saying, “X supplement has helped me” etc. but you can tell it doesn’t really help that much long-term with these users and because same users later write new threads trying other protocols. If supplements really worked than why are the same people changing protocols? It’s because they don’t really work. If supplements really worked significantly why do you never see in testimonials a long-term change in severity level due to the supplements? You don’t see that. Maybe some supplements might help with one specific symptom which I agree can happen, but for significant help globally they are useless.
The issue for our community and all these threads on supplements helping and that the public can read really does us a disservice and diminishes how truly severe this illness is.
If it was simply a choice between safer and less safe, I would go for supplements 99% of time (or if you want 100% safety, homeopathy). The problem is, no supplement has helped any severe ME/CFS patient I am aware of to improve in any significant degree.
