Candida Infections and CFS/ME/FM
"Candida overgrowth is a common phenomenon in persons with CFS/ME/FM, probably because NK Cell Activity is low in most patients and it is the NK Cells that are thought to help fend off candida or yeast. It is thought that candida produces a toxin that can exacerbate CFS/ME/FM. However, we do not think of yeast […]

MTHFR, Hashimoto’s and Nutrients
"One of the key things to note is that this gene variation also prevents people from properly methylating, which is one of the body’s key detox processes that helps them get rid of toxins. Methylation impairment can result in an impaired ability to clear out certain toxins such as mercury and arsenic, and may lead […]
Why Do Antibiotics Make Me Feel Better?
"Many PWCs have experienced improvement of symptoms following antibiotic treatment for other conditions. The natural questions then are why? And should I continue to take antibiotics? The first answer is simple. Antibiotics may “work” in more than one way. Yes, they might be treating some hidden infection in the body. But antibiotics have other ameliorating […]
CPET and the Physiology of ME/CFS
"Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a hallmark symptom of ME/CFS. PEM is an exacerbation of symptoms that emerge when a patient exerts physically, cognitively or even emotionally beyond a threshold intensity. PEM can occur during or soon after exertion, or within hours or even a couple of days after exertion in patients with ME/CFS." https://neuroimmune.cornell.edu/research/physiology/ https://neuroimmune.cornell.edu/research/physiology/
What is the MTHFR Mutation?
"What is the MTHFR Mutation? MTHFR (or methylenetetrahydofolate reductase) is an enzyme required to convert folate to methionine, which is then used in the production of necessary amino acids and other compounds. When MTHFR genes are mutated, then MTHFR is not produced well, homocysteine (thought to be involved in atherosclerosis and other health issues) builds […]
Food Sensitivities
" Many PWCs report intolerance to both gluten (wheat products, barley, and rye) as well as dairy products. These intolerances are rarely caused by true allergies to gluten (celiac disease or sprue) or dairy (milk protein allergy). Researchers in Belgium have also suggested that many PWCs are intolerant of fructose as well. Consider avoiding each […]
Do I Have to Live Like This?!
'ME/CFS is considered a chronic illness, but longitudinal studies suggest that 17-64% of adult PWCs improve, less than 10% fully recover. The improvement rate is even better for adolescents with ME/CFS. The current standard of therapy is to treat sleep and pain issues first, then address co-morbidities or other health issues. Dr. Bruce Campbell and […]
