Summary
Wonkmonk built a highly specific elimination/adjustment diet after years of downhill CFS. He says he moved from borderline "very severe" to the lower end of "severe" - pain almost gone, able to get up, cook, and walk a few miles - and calls it "very substantial improvement of all symptoms" sustained over several months so far. He is explicit that ALL points must be followed simultaneously or the benefit is lost, so this reads as maintenance-dependent rather than a cure.
