He was also a patient of Dr. Chia for over 11 years and tried many treatments. That didn't save him either.

My best friend died from ME complications 3 years ago, so I am very aware. He was lured into trying many long term abxs for so called "chronic lyme" and other pet theories suggested by 'ME specialists' because of desperation. He was severely ill for 18 years. I am more interested in...
