Summary
A ten-month combination of Lugol's iodine, desiccated thyroid, an elimination diet, monthly liver flushes and an antiparasitic herbal mix brought "much more energy and much less pain" after 9.5 years of CFS/fibromyalgia, with symptoms shifting within a day of starting the thyroid dose alone. Explicitly partial and maintenance-bound: "I'm not 100% but I'm not struggling through each day anymore," still on ongoing thyroid and iodine support.
