Summary
Used a nutritional-genomics-guided protocol, using his own genetic testing results to choose specific diet and supplement changes, alongside an ongoing low-histamine diet. Had ME/CFS along with cycling OCD, anxiety and depression severe enough to require two psychiatric hospitalizations and a period on disability, including about 9 months bedridden. Titled his own account a complete recovery. Says the recovery requires ongoing diet restriction and continued supplementation to maintain, rather than being a one-time fix.
