I suspect that the words "methylation protocol" are, at first glance, intimidating. But if you will hang in with me for a few paragraphs, I would like to make this both understandable and useful. First of all, what is most important is that we have recently shown that the use of tiny doses of very specific combinations of vitamin B-12 and folic acid, has resulted in significant improvement in patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. That's the bottom line.

For decades, holistic physicians have known that "leaky gut" is a significant problem in fibromyalgia and CFS. Many allopathic physicians have laughed at this concept of increased intestinal permeability (the food getting absorbed into the blood before it is completely digested), stating that it was nonsense. This new study proves the presence of increased intestinal permeability ("leaky gut") in fibromyalgia patients.

Recent findings presented at the 2009 International Association of Chronic Fatigue conference in Reno, Nevada Conference by University of Miami researchers revealed promising potential for Isoprinosine (ISP) in addressing Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Sixty one patients were studied, and therapy in all patients resulted in clinical and immunologic improvement. Isoprinosine (ISP), a non-toxic immune system stimulant, is a nucleoside, which is a basic compound comprising cells. It is extremely safe and has been available in Ireland and Canada for 20 years. Until now ISP has not been extensively utilized in the U.S. Although the University of Miami study was small, and larger placebo controlled studies are necessary, these preliminary findings are quite promising for sufferers of this relentless condition.

Unfortunately, instead of the sane and obvious conclusion: “For any illness it is helpful to get counseling if needed and to walk as able so your body doesn't get deconditioned from being bedridden,” the questions of counseling and exercise in CFS have instead centered around whether the illness is real or whether people with the disease are crazy. The obvious answer? The illness is real but the people who try to make believe that it is not are driving the patients crazy.
