I'm XMRV+ and if my health problems were solved or even helped by B12, Vit C, Glutathione, NAC etc then I would have been cured or had better functionality a very long time ago. My heart sinks when I see a list of all the common things mentioned on CFS lists for years and years.

For me, I can experiment with some of the Nsaids and NK / immune enhancing drugs (if I can afford to buy them) but I think that the answer will only come over time and for me, is going to be different or specific to the XMRV.

In the poll there was no option for no change or made worse. I'd be ticking a lot of boxes then.

CoQ10 at 200mg/day is absolutely imperative for me
NADH at 5mg/day, plus a sublingual prior to physical activity such as walking, make all the difference in the world in my energy level
Zinc 50mg/day to ward off repeated bacterial infections, especially strep throat
Vitamin C
aspirin for headaches and pain
yogurt every day
in the past: the Marshall Protocol of pulsed antibiotics got rid of my MCS and horrible back pain, didn't help with energy or PEM
