Summary
Bifidobacteria: a multi-strain probiotic blend of Bifidobacterium breve, B. bifidum, B. infantis and B. longum together with Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Saccharomyces boulardii, given as one part of a wider protocol that also included mold avoidance, B vitamins, curcumin, methylphenidate and Mickel therapy. Her son had ME/CFS before this combined approach was started. His mother reports his recovery is complete, with only ordinary bad days like a healthy person and no post-exertional malaise. He now exercises and recovers quickly from colds, and takes aspirin as needed, suggesting only minor ongoing supports rather than a strict maintenance regimen. Because the probiotics were only one part of a multi-intervention protocol, their specific individual contribution cannot be isolated from her account.
