A couple of quotes I found interesting.

The most important aspect of management is pacing (balancing rest with activity), followed by the management of sleep and pain. There is no cure, so medical management is purely palliative. While diet is helpful (avoid processed foods, minimize dairy and gluten), most supplements and herbals generally add little and may be harmful.

In my experience, the most effective supplements have been methyl-B12, Vitamin D3, magnesium, possibly d-Ribose, NADH, DHEA, and glutathione in selected patients. Other than that, most supplements and herbals have not been terribly helpful, and sometimes even problematic.

Since my retirement, many patients that I have not heard from have written to congratulate me and thank me for helping them to “recover.” To the person, they cite pacing and setting limits as the major thing that helped them most. I cannot emphasize that enough!

Drugs he thinks are useful - LDN for fibromyalgia, Ampligen for ME/CFS.
