Summary
Dan Neuffer's page gives only general categories of treatment rather than specific drugs or doses: he says he "healed my gut and changed my diet" under a doctor's guidance, used unnamed supplements to support metabolism, detoxification and oxidative stress, and used lifestyle changes, meditation, and brain-training strategies, while explicitly declining to specify exactly what he did because he believes recovery must be individually tailored. He had been ill with ME/CFS for about five years, with extreme fatigue unrelieved by rest that left him unable to work for extended periods, before a recovery process that took about 18 months. He reports "very significant progress in a matter of weeks" on some fronts, with other improvements taking months, and now works full-time, exercises regularly, and maintains a family life. The page does not address whether his recovery has needed ongoing maintenance or has faded over time.
