I think that mainstream medicine needs to admit that they haven't got a clue about chronic illness or healing full-stop. For me the biggest factors to healing from CFS have been the discovery that my gut microbiome was severely damaged, I had leaky gut and SIBO (I changed my diet to the GAPS protocol which took months of work but it healed); the psychological and spiritual growth in learning to not be a doer, an over achiever and learning to rest, and one of the other biggest keys: taking iodine. These discoveries took 2 years of consistent prayer, research and trial and error to uncover; and the greatest changes came via Dr Natasha Campell with her GAPS diet, and Becky Plotner, Naturopath. This was after paying so called world class experts thousands in money that I didn't have. These women have true understanding of health and how the body works. My GP, on the other hand, ran blood tests and told me that I was fine, even though my skin had turned yellow and I was drifting in and out of consciousness. If you want healing, run a mile from General Medicine.

Look into Morley Robbins and Dr. Barry Sears, PhD. Avoid seed oils like the plague. Avoid non-IFOS 5-Star fish oil like it is seweage-of-the sea.

Thank you uploading this. Dr RN is one of the wiser scientists who tries to make sense of his findings instead of just blurting out findings without making any inferences. Great talk.

Has the suramin study on ME/CFS been completed? (asking in Jan 2023) Where can we read about the results? Thank you!

Very fascinating. This feels so different from all the other talks. He analyses the bigger picture and looks outside the box for answers. Looking at it from an evolutionary point of view and looking at chronic illnesses as a group in terms a 'healing' path is something rarely talked about. He's right, doctors and researchers tend to focus short term on a 'problem' and 'solution', treating chronic illness with acute methods.
