New study shows chronic fatigue syndrome may have to do with gut microbes

Nasty family of disease-causing bacteria there (not what I would call a parasite) including syphilis and Lyme disease, both of which must be excluded during differential diagnosis for ME/CFS.

Many people who thought they had ME/CFS discover they have Lyme disease and can be restored to health to a great extent with antibiotics.

Dr. Lipkin is totally on top of all research into the gut biome (viruses and bacteria) as it relates to ME/CFS, I can assure you!

Why is it that you rely on only one authority when it comes to the topic of parasites and health? There are dozens and dozens of PhDs working for decades on this area, that is what I would call “extensive research”.

It is only recently that folks are making the connection between unexplainable chronic fatigue and systemic parasite infestation and impaired immunity. Rather that say parasites are a “cause” of CFS it might be more accurate to say they are a definite factor that many medical practitioners overlook.

If you have time, look at the testimonials on the HumaWorm website. Long time sufferers of CFS are finding that the one area they did not address turns out to be the breakthrough that they have been looking for. It is not to say that changing diet, lifestyle, and other layers are not important, rather, taken all together they form a comprehensive integrative approach to fixing the problem.

At first when I saw your reply I said Oh no, not another colon cleanse, but because that was a scam a decade ago, but looking at the HumaWorm site, which is rated “not a scam” by one rating site it seems to be worth a look.

Thanks for the tip.

I am being treated by the NOVA Neuroimmune Clinic and they do state-of-the-art medicine including checking the gut for any sort of parasite in their local patient population (I am remote) so I don’t think HumaWorm would be typical of ME/CFS patients as a class, but it is worth checking out to be sure.

Until a specifig marker is found, ME/CFS is a diagnosis of EXCLUSION and all other causes must be excluded until you are left with ME/CFS.

Actually, coffee enemas are very good at triggering the liver and gall bladder to flush, which is important when you are killing worms since they release a lot of ammonia and other toxins when they die.

Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez has some pretty good explanations of why they work on Youtube.

Thanks for the info. I’ll look into that, too.
