What are the doses of Famvir and Celecoxib on the Pridgen protocol?

Dr. Pidgen asks that you email him for the dosage levels and I don't see it reported anywhere online. It supposedly is higher doses than typical, standard doses given for famvir or celecoxib.

It's interesting that the patient reported difficulties with cognitive function and deteriorated sleep quality. Both are also symptoms of CFS.

Also interesting that her improvement appears to be permanent after both medications were discontinued.

"In 2013, VanElzakker hypothesized that pathologically activated glial cells in the vagal sensory ganglia could cause an exaggerated sickness response that is found in chronic fatigue syndrome."
