Nutrients from food, paleo 'cheats'. Working for me, at last!!
- Condition
- ME/CFS

- 5 years

Summary
After 5 years of illness, switched to a modified paleo, nutrient-dense whole-food diet and says most of the improvement came from these dietary changes, putting them "way closer to living a normal life." Explicitly says "I'm not cured," and notes symptoms return quickly if the diet lapses ("I go downhill quickly"), so the improvement is substantial but fully maintenance-dependent rather than a cure.
