Well done Mark! What we can't see can kill us! There are many bacterial infections, candida, mycoplasma, c.pneumonia, strep that can wreak havoc in our bodies in additional to viral infections like herpes, EBV, HPV.

My experience with neurologists is they are intellectually bankrupt in that they are unable to think out of the box. It is quite disturbing that in 50 years the neuros have been unable to come up with an explanation as to WHY the bodies immune system is attacking our bodies. In the meantime, patients are dying & losing their life at great expense to themselves & extended family. There hasn't been anything done for MS for example, except treat symptoms as they arise at a great human cost in pharmaceutical side affects. Illnesses like MS & ME can be death sentences; there is no candy coating this fact.

My experience in my "road back" from ME is I didn't realize how bad I really was. I have seen this same thing in friends with MS. They have been lulled into a false sense of security. I thank God everyday for my fabulous MD who is treating me with a combined antibiotic protocol. I am about 40% better overall than 2 years ago & I am only 9 months into treatment.

Remember, there was a time when the common belief was the world was flat. Medicine is changing daily; in a couple of decades we will look back & think DUH, doesn't that make sense!!
