Summary
Edie used a wide-ranging natural protocol: topical arnica gel, papaya and devil's claw for inflammation, Cell Food (a liquid oxygen supplement), homeopathic thyroid, adrenal, hypothalamus and pituitary remedies, spirulina, herbal melatonin and 5-HTP for sleep, and dietary changes eliminating caffeine, sugar, wheat and alcohol while adding cultured foods, yogurt and seafood, alongside deep breathing, yoga, tai chi, qi gong, and HeartMath biofeedback training — no specific doses are given for the supplements. She experienced CFS twice, each episode lasting about six years, with the second bout more severe and including six months bedridden. She now reports being symptom-free most days and no longer feeling exhausted. She notes she must stay alert to triggers and still experiences occasional flare-ups that require intervention, indicating the improvement is maintained through ongoing management rather than a one-time cure.
