I just got this e-mail from a patient of Dr. Peterson's. He's been seeing him for quite some time and has improved markedly over the past months it appears. Ampligen lead to some improvement and IVIG and xifaxin for leaky gut bacterial overgrowth have helped him markedly.. He wasn't bedridden or anything but he's had a long-standing case of ME/CFS and is clearly doing much much better.
Dr. Park is a big IVIG fan - he reports very high success rates for his patients in Korea. I just don't hear about it that much here.

I have started full-time study of law. I am having only very minor difficulties due to symptoms, which have improved markedly since resuming IVIG therapy and taking a course of xifaxan for leaky gut in late June.
If I am able to continue receiving treatment, I am very optimistic about my prospects of completing law school, being able to work, and enjoying the process. On therapy, my infections have remitted and my leaky gut has been progressively improving (even though I didn't feel any better in the beginning). Dr. Peterson believes I will continue to experience symptoms until the leaky gut condition completely remits, if this ever occurs. The bacterial overgrowth and translocation that occurs with the leaky gut is in theory caused by defects in mucosal immunity, hence the utility of antibiotics and IVIG.
