Reply from an infectious disease doctor to a LC/ME/CFS patient:

Hi Rachel. For non-Covid related MECFS, of which I treat a large populous, I do not believe the monoclonal would be effective however I do take proactive approaches towards root cause, despite it being a bit more difficult, as it’s far more variable. You may DM re: consult.

What does this even mean? We don't know the root cause of ME/CFS. This is exactly what I'm talking about, the viral persistence lot seem to have an assumption of cause that preceeds or superceeds the need for evidence.

From Dr. Scoma website:

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known at Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) is a complex and debilitating condition characterized by profound and persistent fatigue, non-restorative sleep, post-exertional malaise (PEM), cognitive impairment, and orthostatic intolerance. Dr. Scoma’s approach to treating ME/CFS and expertise lies in integrating a complex, multidisciplinary strategy that combines advanced diagnostics with personalized treatment plans. This includes:

■ Identification and treatment of viral reactivation including Epstein Barr virus, HHV-6, Parvovirus-B19, and Enterovirus species.
■ Treatment of sleep problems including insomnia, non-restorative sleep, hypersomnia, sleep fragmentation, and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS).
■ Identification and treatment of dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) as well as orthostatic intolerance.
■ Multifaceted and complex treatment regimens for fatigue and post-exertional malaise (PEM) aimed at pacing and energy management coupled with proactive, cutting-edge pharmacotherapy and
supplementation.

He comes across as a functional/integrative type doctor. All his 'treatments' have been recycled over and over again for the past 25+ year with no success.

How's that for a word salad of nonsense.
Translation - pacing with randomly added drugs and vitamins.

Ah yes, “strength, clarity, and resilience”, that’s all you need, “along with my phone number and your credit card details” (probably).

I couldn't get past 'populous'.

I had substantial success with an antifungal regime and I am not alone. Not cure by any means but relief from muscle pain mpre or less according to group. Only allergists and functional/integrative doctors offered this type of medicine and it was and is though less frequently derided by the mainstream. But my condition may have been other than ME or ME + and fluconazole at least has some activity against Lyme. Some who have found themselves under the ME umbrella will be helped by F/I medicine , some not is my feeling. It is alos true that functional doctors were far more likely to address hypoadrenalism, dysbiosis etc, but, yes, not fro everyone.

I saw a functional/integrative MD for 12 years. He was a very supportive doctor and offered to order different types of tests to r/o other conditions. He did his research before prescribing medication and followed up. Some of the testing helped me with malabsorption and nutritional deficiencies. All the other stuff was just 'buzz'.

Back 20 years ago it was chronic Lyme disease, detoxing, amalgam/mercury toxicity, hypercoagulation cascade, adrenal fatigue et, and these days they've hoped on the CCI, MCAS( Dr. Scoma claiming he is known for his work in the field) and neuroinflammation bandwagon.

Brandi Glanville Bio:
Mother of two, TV Personality, 2x Bestselling Author & Podcast Host! Drinking & Tweeting since 2009

She is best known for appearing on the reality television series The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and admitted that she (along with her siblings, older sister Tricia and younger brother Michael) had previously blackmailed her father in order to obtain money(according to Wiki).

Not judging, but attention seeking and showing up at Dr. Scoma's clinic for photo ops strikes me as a bit odd.

 

[Mij]

Can we add compromised barrier integrity to the top of that list?

 

[Mij]

We can't message him because he only replies with people who agree with him

 

[Jaybee00]

Brandi Glanville has 800,000 followers on Twitter/X That’s a lot.

UK people on here probably thinking that they never heard of her because she is an American celebrity. FWIW I’m American and never heard of her till yesterday.

These Housewives “stars” tend to become most famous when they do crimes, etc.

Good shout that I have had many of these things and none would have been addressed outside F/I medicine. Help and improvement but no cure so far. Appreciate what you say.
