Summary
Had weekly EECP sessions for 5 months alongside a methylation protocol, a Candida protocol and AHCC Gold. After about a month she noticed improved sleep and daytime energy, roughly 20-25% more daily activity, less brain fog and easier waking. She was initially skeptical and dismissed the early effect as a "fluke," but a deliberate 3-week break brought symptoms back, which resolved again on resuming EECP -- self-testing that convinced her of a real, though partial and ongoing-treatment-dependent, effect. She states she has no financial interest in EECP, the treating doctor's practice, or AHCC Gold.
