ME/CFS affects 2.5 million Americans, yet 90% remain undiagnosed. For decades, patients have searched for answers while mainstream medicine looked the other way.

Long COVID changed everything.

The similarities between Long COVID and ME/CFS have given researchers new urgency to find real solutions. Many of us in functional medicine have been treating these conditions for decades using approaches that current research now supports.

Created by Eric Gordon, MD and Nafysa Parpia, ND, experts with over 40 years combined experience supporting patients in healing from mysterious chronic illnesses, this guide reveals:

* Likely causes of ME/CFS and post-viral conditions
* The Long COVID connection
* How Cell Danger Response drives healing

Long Covid 2025 Gordon Medical Forum
Examining new approaches for complex chronic illness


We’re examining possible causes of Long COVID and its similarities to other chronic illnesses. We also discuss possible therapies and methods to enhance your body’s natural healing processes.

In our conversations with over 20 experts, we’ll examine the possible future of medicine in this new post-COVID world and how it has changed the landscape of both traditional and naturopathic/functional medicine.

We can’t wait to share the latest research with you and help you find direction. Because the more you know, the more you can proactively help yourself heal!
 

The Cell Danger Response and the Healing Cycle in Chronic Illness​

Inflammation is the body’s normal response to danger. The body’s inflammatory response is meant to be transient – when that response is ongoing, and especially when the inciting event (pathogens, toxic elements) persists, the normal tamping down of inflammation doesn’t occur. When inflammation persists and the Healing Cycle is not completed the clinical presentation is an outcome of their genetic tendencies. – Naviaux RK. – Metabolic features of the cell danger response.

Looking for what is broken is no longer the answer.

Patients we see have dysfunction, but they are not broken. Conventional medicine, what Bob Naviaux calls the First Book of Medicine, is great for when you are broken; an accident, a broken bone, an acute infection. For patients with chronic illness, looking for what is broken is no longer the answer. For them, we have to start creating the Second Book of Medicine. This is where the concepts of functional medicine are brought to life.

Finding Solutions: A Framework for Healing

Addressing chronic illness requires a comprehensive approach that starts with first establishing foundational health through diet, lifestyle, stress management, and hormone balancing – standard Naturopathic or Functional Medicine care. Addressing the foundations of health rarely resolves chronic illness; however, without this, attempts to treat chronic infections or remove toxins may trigger inflammatory flares that worsen symptoms.
 
He started practicing in my town several decades ago and ran into some medico-legal sanctioning of some sort (due to quackery) a few years ago.

His quacking continues.

Northern California is a bastion for this.

Edited to add: I'm sure the book download on the s how they generate income; I've seen this same format a couple of years ago. Overwhelm the event website with a dozen photos of so-called experts (free registration) then a pricey book download filled with quack-bits. (Everyone is out to nickel and dime you since the tariffs...)

I was in the Naviaux metabolic validation study sponsored by the OMF. Dr Gordon conducted a qualifiying interview with me for entrance into this study (which was never published). I was not impressed. I was rather shocked at the lackadaisical nature of the interview.
