Dr Park's 90% Recovery Protocol (LD-IVIG / IV Saline / ART / Nutrition) - What can we learn?
- Condition
- ME/CFS
- At worst
- Very severe (bedbound, unable to do basic care)
- Ill for
- years, completely bedbound
- Published
- Jun 2017
Summary
Strict Aggressive Rest Therapy -- total silence, no TV or music, complete physical and mental rest -- from a completely bedbound baseline produced full remission lasting 2-3 years: "it was completely gone... I was able to do everything I previously was before I got ME, no issues at all." She later relapsed after resuming normal activity without the same support, and believes restarting ART "would likely" work again but isn't currently doing so -- a rare full-but-temporary remission through behavior alone.
