> The more I read, the more confused I get, which tells me that no one really understands what's going on. For example, infections are always treated with antibiotics, but what I find when I read these articles is a laundry list of herbs and supplements that *might* help.
If the link to viral illness is more than illusory, you may get an insight from what viruses do, when we're infected by one. They insert their own DNA into our cells, and at least in part, hijack our own biochemical machinery. From that point onwards, you're not just dealing with the genes God gave you. You're God-given + viral DNA (which may be from Hades, for all I know).

http://www.co-cure.org/Good-Doc.htmMy difficulty in obtaining specialized care is that treatment of FMS or CFS is very intensive, from the standpoint of time and effort spent with each patient. Many or most of the good ones are booked solid. First come, first served. Some of the better ones have dedicated clinics, so the supports are given by associated staff, not just by the doctor themself. That said, others use the clinics as money factories. I'm a cynic, I guess.
