I know there is probably already a post on this somewhere, but I could not find it. Not suprising this "fossil" can't find something on the computer
.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has ordered and tried Dr. Meirleir's test for Stomach bacteria overgrowth and what the results were.
Here is where I found the info.: http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/5949/76639/breakthrough
"The study compared totally bedridden ME/CFS patients, less ill ME/CFS patients, family controls, contact controls and non-contact controls. They found that ME/CFS patients have an intestinal bacteria that produces an excess of the neurotoxin hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which can cause many of the ME/CFS symptoms. Then they hypothesized that the urine of the bedridden ME/CFS patients would contain more H2S metabolites than the less ill patients. Next, they developed a simple color-change urine test which confirmed their hypothesis. The urine of the extremely ill patients immediately turned dark blue. The urine reaction from the less ill patients was slower and not as dark. Urine from the control groups showed no change at all."
