I had been on several things, and had lots of rest due to losing my job, but couldn’t pin my improvements on anything specific. Until now.
As stated, I lost my job, so was staying home, and reclined most of the time. I’ve been using cumin off and on for several years, but with only short term benefits. I also re started low dose naltrexone, but stayed at the .05 mg dose, so ultra low dose naltrexone. I also did a trial, of liver, kidney, and thymus pills. And last, I did a trial of grapefruit seed oil.
During the spring, I noticed I wasn’t sick any more, and when I was, it wasn’t bad. I had been starting to pack to move, and getting piles to go to thrift. My daughter & fiancé showed up for a week and helped empty stuff that needed to go. I wasn’t crashing hard, even with sitting and going through boxes all day! I would still crash in ways, but I did not get the PEM sickness.
Then I got hired on a temp contract, and went back to working full time in an office. And slowly started going backwards and found myself quite sick again. I stopped to think through what had changed besides working, and realized I had quit taking my grapefruit seed oil. So I started taking it again, and a week later noticed I wasn’t very sick again!
So it’s grapefruit seed oil that has drastically improved my PEM!
This one specifically, as it is easy to confuse with grape seed oil.

I still take cumin at times (weekly at least), the liver kidney and thymus do help my MCAS, but not my energy. Well, the Ancestral Supplements brand, not the Codeage brand that my cat refused to eat. And the ULDN. I am no where near on my way to being cured, still have lung and muscle issues, but it is DELICIOUS not being so incredibly sick!
While the help from GSE was very gradual when I started (over several months before noticing anything), it was rapid after re starting. I do still have a sore throat, but it’s minimal and probably more from not having a clean MCAS diet and life. I am around fragrances and cleaning chemicals daily due to covid sanitation. But so much better than what I lived with for two and a half decades!
I also intend to add other natural anti viral, like oregano and thyme, etc. I welcome any suggestions.
I know I’ve heard of it helping several others here, but can’t remember who to tag. I’d love to hear other stories where GSE helped.
