Summary
Combined a multi-part protocol -- twelve $325 Oxford "homeostasis" peptide shots starting September 2013, a rotary diversified (Theron Randolph) elimination diet, vitamin D, low-dose naltrexone, Remeron, the Gupta amygdala-retraining program, and removing laminate flooring from the home -- after five years of severe ME/CFS that left him crashing for 2-3 weeks after just 5-6 minutes on a treadmill. Returned to work part-time (2 hours/day) by November 2013 and full-time by January 2014, and was able to come off atenolol, clonazepam and levothyroxine. Calls himself "99% for sure" recovered rather than 100%, and notes a separate course of "GD" shots was dropped partway through for lack of benefit.
