There are to date no anti-viral meds that target enteroviruses that live in the stomach tissues. People are using the wrong drugs for the wrong virus with varying degrees of success because that is all they have right now.
However, you have me intrigued about your therapeutic doses of co-enzymated vitamins taken separately. I do believe my over fertilized gut could have been over-synthesizing B vitamins and I know piling on vitamins can make me worse. But taking just what I need is different- I think the methylation protocol is similar. I thought about trying that too but it seemed like a shot in the dark, and I couldn't find anybody with CFS who was actually cured with it.
You will notice people on this forum are careful where they put their energy because a lot of us can't work, haven't been able to work for a long time and can't afford to spend money and energy on a shot in the dark (because as someone else said, many of us have spent thousands, some even hundreds of thousands of dollars already).
We all know and agree that hormones and metabolism are a huge part of this mess, but it will take some convincing for most to start playing with those things, esp. if they believe like I do, all these problems are caused by viruses or an autoimmune response related to viruses.
Before you publish your ebook, may I suggest you look deeper into the viral theories of CFS, if anything, just to make a better argument about what you believe. I will read about your theories because now that I have a protocol that works at ridding me of my viral symptoms, I want to work torward getting vibrantly healthy again. Getting my hormones to work is of keen interest to me because I am always exhausted and want to have the energy to go back to work full-time someday.
However, like everything else, I have to proceed with caution, careful not to mess up the progress I have made with my current protocol. I know what works for my CFS (viral symptoms)- the question is how can I improve my regular health (mood, energy, etc.) without bringing the viral symptoms back.
Experience has shown me that exercise and throwing nutrients at the problem are not the answer. Improving cold weather and sun tolerance and reducing autoimmune responses to food and overstimulating immune system would be helpful because these things often precipitate viral attacks and my tools at controlling them are very limited.
However, I reject the claim that my CFS is caused by anything but a virus/autoimmune response. If the shoe fits...
I don't believe a majority of CFS cases are simply viruses. If they are all viruses then they would all respond to anti virals but I see very few people benefit long term from pharmaceutical anti viral meds.
