Is she aware of how many pwME that shoved antibiotics down their throats for years with zero results?

Apparently not.

Being on a long term antibiotic prescription coincided with my ME onset. I sometimes wonder if there was any causation involved.

I was prescribed 6 months of azithromycin because I had a high mycoplasma load somewhere or other. I don't recall how it was tested for. It was 30 years ago when I knew nothing and asked nothing, and I trusted the integrative medicine doctor who actually believed me and did his best to help my 'mild' ME/CFS.
In the end the bacteria were reduced to a level that apparently could not be a problem, and that was the end of it.
There were no side effects and no after effects. I felt no different in any way whatsoever.

I hope these “antibiotics what can cure the ME” aren’t like all the other ME cures, which only work if you believe they cure you.

Has this been posted before re Tess Falor "ME intrepid entrepreneur'?

In early 2009, she took a prevpac of two antibiotics (Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin) and a proton pump inhibitor (Lansoprazole) to treat H. pylori. Two days later, something incredible happened. She reported:

“I woke up and felt like I wasn’t in my body. It was disorienting, because my chronic pain had vanished. I thought I’d died because my body felt so light, like I was floating. My brain started working again; colors were brighter, food smelt better and I had this profound sense of gratitude for being alive.”

I was treated for the same infection and woke up after treatment feeling better b/c my gut wasn't causing me anymore distress. I had an actual positive h pylori infection, so yeah the treatment eradicated it.

It seems that she is hanging on to n=1 and n=2 experiences and flying with it.
