Summary

After several years of mild-to-moderate ME/CFS partly triggered by probiotic use, did two sessions of "Reverse Therapy" (a meditative practice of "talking to" the body) over six weeks. Reports "feeling the best I have since the beginning of my cfs journey," while calling the method's own framing "wishy washy" and saying she takes parts of it "with a pinch of salt." She had promised a six-month follow-up update, but none appeared in the visible thread, and another poster later asked whether her silence meant it hadn't lasted, so durability is unconfirmed.
