I was tested for zonulin around 8 years ago. But no doctor or naturopath could help me. The treatments offered were too general.

Only in the past 4 years have I taken things into my hands. It was an iterative process: test -> try out diet/pro/prebiotics -> test -> etc.

Fixing gut issues had a profound impact on my remission. I recommend that everyone with ME/LongCovid check their status.

Die Versorgungslage von ME/CFS-Patienten ist vollkommen unzureichend. Aber einige Ärzte scheinen die wissenschaftliche Literatur völlig zu ignorieren. Sie argumentieren auf der Grundlage einer vermeintlichen (gefühlten) Wahrheit, die sie aus angeblichen Erfahrungswerten ableiten.

Derzeit kann mensch sehr gut ein Lehrstück in PLURV bei ME/CFS in den SozialenMedien beobachten:
1. Es wird eine wissenschaftlich falsche Meinungen zu MECFS gepostet von Eminenz xy
2. Diese Meinung wird von Spezialisten zu MECFS sachlich und korrekt durch Studien widerlegt.

The journalist who coined the phrase “the #GreatestMEdicalScandal of the 21st century” got interested in ME after this same psych lobby accused him of spreading Long Covid by writing about it. He was so taken aback by their absurdity that he investigated further:

Mind Your Tone: Investigating How Prompt Politeness Affects LLM Accuracy (short paper) The wording of natural language prompts has been shown to influence the performance of large language models (LLMs), yet the role of politeness and tone remains underexplored. In this study, we invest...

Surprisingly, AI is more accurate when you ask questions rudely.

"Contrary to expectations, impolite prompts consistently outperformed polite ones, with accuracy ranging from 80.8% for Very Polite prompts to 84.8% for Very Rude prompts."

I was diagnosed with POTS years before COVID

When the first cases of Long Covid were reported, I thought we would see breakthroughs in POTS, MCAS, ME/CFS and more.

I assumed the problem was too big to ignore.

Unfortunately I was wrong, and most LC patients have been abandoned like the rest of us.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season. This year, I was finally able to travel for the holidays. Things are improving slowly but steadily. 🎄🎁🕯️

This way, one could identify the most critical aspects of these protocols. And perhaps I have overlooked something that could help me.

My symptoms have never been severe, but my progress is just as incremental as Whitney described his.

People more familiar with the BF protocol have told me that my protocol has some similarities. It is worth looking into, and I have put it on my (never-ending) To-Do list to compare both. ⤵️

They confirmed that they see some of their patients improve and even recover. Some of these patients have been bedbound. It is also essential to set realistic expectations, as Whitney does in his video, by discussing the aspects he is still struggling with despite his improvements. ⤵️

It is good to see that Whitney's condition has improved, but it is also clear that the illness is still taking a toll. The most important message is: People with ME/CFS can get better. When I started to improve, and PEM disappeared, I talked to doctors who treat ME/CFS patients. ⤵️
