I was diagnosed with M.E. by a consultant in 1993. Same bloke diagnosed my husband in 1992. Back then half our local GPs thought it was fake, and the others thought it was a mental health problem. I was put on Prozac. Tried them for 6 months, could not sleep and my sex drive was 0 - and they had no effect on the M.E.. Threw them out. Kept on going without any medical 'support'. Hubby had other issues as well and got progressively worse. He passed in 1998. Heart attack. He was 46. I was almost as bad in terms of pain and all the rest of the M.E. list of symptoms (except for the orchitis..) but someone had to get out and get a job or we'd have starved and been on the streets - and someone also had eventually to provide personal care to my husband. So I did - in both cases.. It was tough going, I won't lie - and it took years for the pain, and eventually the exhaustion to subside - but eventually it did. I've not seen a GP since 2003. Even the best of them are working to a false paradigm and their money is conditional on people being labelled and prescribed medication. And they get almost no education about nutrition. And that was a big part of what helped me to recover. Totally cleaned up my diet over the years. That and not giving up were key. Your mind is THE most potent and powerful item in your first aid kit.
You are more than welcome. I think it is important to share our stories if there is any chance they will resonate with someone in the same situation. Knowing you are not alone and that there may be a way out can be a real blessing. I certainly found it so at the time we were first diagnosed.
After having surgery for a malignant lump in my breast 26 years ago I was told I must have radiation to the surrounding tissue, consider double mastectomy as precaution, do a round of chemo and/or take tamoxifen or raloxifene, have a preventive hysterectomy and consider a bisphosphonate along with a proton pump inhibitor to handle the reflux disease that drug causes. I said no, but asked to be followed up annually and monitored with physical exams and blood-urine tests but not mammograms. The breast cancer clinic would not accept me for followup. I was told I would likely have virulent metastatic spread in two to five years by rejecting the recommended treatment course. I felt strongly that this was a lie. I had dreams that told me what my real health issues were, they weren't "cancer", and I addressed them with nutrition, detoxification and spiritual realignment. For seven years at a support group for breast cancer patients I saw women deteriorate and die anyway despite doing every conventional treatment offered. Or become demented and incapacitated as a result of treatments. I had to stop attending, it was so painful to make wonderful friends and lose them to the lies.
My wife had a not-needed hysterectomy about 40 years ago (I didn't know her at the time). That very scar tissue from that operation came back to haunt her last year. It caused major bowel obstructions that have now required two surgeries to try and correct.
She also took bisphosphonates for about 7-8 years for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Now you would expect her bones to be stronger or at least not deteriorating (according to the doctors). But no, as early last year she suffered 6 damaged vertebrae. And before that cracked bones in each hand from falls.
Doctors are the most useless things on the planet unless maybe you are on death's door where they may save you so they can give you more tests, drugs and procedures.
I am so sorry your wife got tricked into all that suffering. Give her a hug from me and tell her I, and probably many others, share the sense of betrayal. As a nutritionist working in a health food store, I used to meet customers with dead bone problems and collapsing jaws and vertebra from bisphosphonates. B12 deficiency from metformin. Diabetes caused by statins. Esophageal cancer from PPIs. MS from scoffed-at untreated Lyme and mercury toxicity. Scoffed-at lead toxicity from workplace exposure that resulted in severe anemia. Uterine cancer from tamoxifen. Infertility from scoffed-at hypothyroidism. A friend of mine who believed the doctor that said she needed radiation after her cancer surgery, now can't walk far, exercise or sleep through the night without coughing fits and oxygen deficit, because of lung fibrosis caused by that treatment. In my research I discovered that radiation may indeed lower risk of recurrence in the irradiated tissue within several years of followup, but treated women die sooner from the cardiovascular and pulmonary damage from radiation - just not from breast cancer. It's called a cancer treatment success when they die of heart failure instead.

In our household we have an incredible list of medical issues that have resolved from years of avoiding doctors as much as possible and persistently trying new things - changing diet, supplements, natural therapies, etc etc. I was so in the thick of it over 33 yrs that I didn't stop to think much about the miracles that I'd been a party to. One day not long ago we realized that my husband's chronic asthma that had nearly killed him many times since child hood had apparently resolved itself. We had been so focused on other issues that we didn't notice there hadn't been an inhaler in the house for a couple of years. Now we only use the nebulizer with sterile saline when someone has a cough. To God be the glory for providing us with everything we need, if only we can listen and pay attention to Him.
My dog developed lameness and lethargy last summer. I eventually went to a vet and got X-rays for his lameness and the vet said no cancer or bony involvement in lameness. I thought this was great news as it kinda ruled out neutering as a possible cause. I read Dr. Falconer's, who is a veterinarian, substack and he mentions all the symptoms that he has seen in his practice due to overvaccinating. According to him, rabies vaccine lasts seven years to a lifetime, depending upon the dog, and parvo given as a puppy is lifetime. So they (the dogs) are suffering from vaccinosis.
I sought out the services of a televet who is a homeopath. She started treatment and I am already seeing improvement. As the weather gets warmer, I am anxious to see how he responds to hot weather (I am in a high desert). I bet we are all suffering from vaccinosis. Yes, dogs aren't human but it never ceases to amaze me that human supplements that are high quality (no fillers or sweeteners), human herbal formulas, or even human pharmaceuticals that are repurposed for small animal use (we are gigantic animals in dog-speak for dosing on things like ivermectin or fenben). None of this would be possible if we are radically different physiologically from one. I bet their pathologies have the same etiology as ours. Just thinkin' out loud...
I was on permanent disability with CFS/ME, told I wouldn't recover. It was mold illness, and I did recover. I also got mercury toxicity during that time, probably because my detox pathways were busy dealing with mold. CFS/ME is a basket diagnosis for "we haven't found the cause of your illness yet."
“Incurable” and “progressive” are not facts about your friend’s body. They are facts about the limits of what his doctor was taught. And the limits of what he was taught are not the limits of what is possible. “
I’ve encountered many doctors in my lifetime that WILL NOT ADMIT THEY WERE WRONG! That’s a special kind of stupidity and arrogance which is perpetuated continuously by big PHARM and industrial chemical corporations.
Thank you for a strong article concerning this issue. I pray that many people read this and do not give up looking for their cure.
👍💯Good piece. Ill challenge on h.pylori part though. It is NOT "cured" by antibiotics (in fact conventional treatment is contributing to antimicrobial restincae-AMR). It is symptomatic and response to microbiome imbalance (its opportunistic in the absence/low diversity of Akkamansia, lacto b, and bifer species). Antagonised by stress (which tanks these species). Toxins and biggest of all- poor circadian rhythm regulation- these species are circadian regulated AND h.pylori downregs (via enzyme) the circadian dependent action- pepsin release.🤨
H.pylori is not the problem- poor circadian alignment is. Also impacts your mitochondtia😉🤗
I expect that most autoimmune troubles stem from toxicity. Drugs, vaccines, dentistry, environments, skin lotions and potions...all contribute to the poisoning of the body. Any man made chemical has the potential to seriously damage the body in some manner. They are everywhere.
It's not viruses or some boogy-man germ. The medical community feigns ignorance because they are trained to be stupid about true health. They would never question things like vaccines and drugs that make up some of the most toxic products on the planet.
Toxic medicines is what they are...a complete oxymoron. It is gruesomely insane to consider toxic drugs as medicines. It just flies over people's head like a bird. Questioning anything is a lost art.
There are two fundamental kinds of cures, addressing the cause(s): curing and address the consequences of the cause(a): healing.
Reversal is healing. We don't reverse causes, we can only reverse consequences. Healing is always present, always trying to catch up, to recover from the damage, to reverse the damage. But as long as the cause(a) persist, healing is not enough.
Years ago I was diagnosed with Hep C. I followed the advice of a chiropractor I met in the supermarket and all my lab numbers improved. "Perhaps this is going to resolve on its own," was what the big liver specialist had to say. He was entirely uninterested in finding out what I had done. "Aren't you going to give me any advice on what to eat?" I asked him. "There are no studies to show that nutrition has anything to do with this," was the answer I got, believe it or not!
I wound up managing things myself. Years later Harvoni, the cure, came out. I was suspicious about using it but Andy Cutler (whose protocol for mercury chelation I write about) told me, "If it were me, I would be all over it." So I went back to the new liver doctor lady and told her okay, I'll do it. (But I refused to get any of the liver biopsies she was so anxious to do.) Harvoni worked. No more discernible virus. It cost $80,000 for the three week treatment. The manufacturer charged a lot for something that was not their usual subscription model.
“Incurable” and “progressive” can function as modern forms of bone pointing—a diagnosis that becomes a sentence.
Among the Aranda people, a medicine man would sometimes perform bone pointing as a pronouncement of imminent death—often in cases he could not cure. Though the act itself caused no physical harm, those who received the declaration frequently declined rapidly after accepting it. The power lay not in the bone, but in the authority of the pronouncement and the belief that followed.
Likewise, when medical language is received as final and unquestioned, it can shape identity, expectation, and outcome—turning description into destiny.
Among the electromagnetically poisoned I serve, I often hear complaints of M.E., mold, and MCS.
Scratching my head here, again. I should probably change my name to head scratcher or something.
I know and admit my comments here are not aligned with the topic of the post, but once again there are things that pop out at me that don't jive with previous articles.
Also, I am not calling out the author, I like this substack, I am tripping over some things.
The vitamin therapy thing comes up in this article. I've asked this before, are these the industrial "vitamins" that are shipped in drums with poison stickers on the side, or are they something else? Is this a situation where a low dose poison cures some edge case ailments?
There's the paragraph on "Peptic ulcers" and how an antibiotic fixes that. We've read the articles about bacteria as the clean up crew, not the enemy, shouldn't be afraid, etc. Except in this case the bacteria was the enemy and killing them off cures the patient. We probably still have the gut biome issue to deal with, I get that.
I think there are many cases of bacteria gone wild that need to be "cured". I'm a healthy guy, follow a lot of the terrain stuff, but even I get a cold now and then. I very recently had a sore throat that just persisted, couldn't get to sleep without a bunch of ibuprofen. A week of Amoxicillin cleared it up.
As far as I know antibiotics clear up pneumonia, seen it in my own family, it's anecdotal I know, maybe there was a terrain solution also.
Anyway, it feels like we have conflicts across a broad sampling of these articles. I would like to see something addressing times when "industrial vitamins" are good, or antibiotics are good, or what the terrain solution to those problems are. The problem with the terrain solutions that I see is the time involved. We don't always have time to solve a problem with diet modification, environmental cleansing, etc.
One way to challenge something like 'Autoimmune' is delete the word from your vocabulary and while at it delete the concept - that's what it is - that people have an 'Autoimmune System' to protect us which sometimes goes haywire.
Now try to explain how the body functions in the environment and maintains health. There are other perspectives which the medical industry avoids and denies.

No GP in about 23 years. If that's not health, I don't know what is.
Indeed. I may be almost the only person in my age group in my local area who is not on any medication..
Thank you for sharing.
You are more than welcome. I think it is important to share our stories if there is any chance they will resonate with someone in the same situation. Knowing you are not alone and that there may be a way out can be a real blessing. I certainly found it so at the time we were first diagnosed.
My hat is of to salute you. I too toughed it out but was caring only for me. You are a champion.
