Noticed a few people had tried this on the blog, but what actually is it? It all sounds really dodgy to me, if i knew more about what the program involved i might be willing to give it a go.

I know your probably not allowed to go into details, but some general information would be nice!

Thanks for that! Still sounds a bit kooky, but its cheap when compared to most of the treatment protocols so maybe worth trying

In the blog post that i wrote, i wasnt necessarily endorsing it. I saw alot of people talkin about it, so i thought i would do a write up about it.

I saw that people had posted some positive comments about the program on the bog post. But i still like to take all those with a grain of salt until theres more proof. Very Happy

I think its just good to see new treatments coming out. I think ive tried most things, and nothings really worked that well. The news about people taking valcyte is encouraging, i hope for information about it comes out about it soon. I think that they only tested it on a small number of people.

Some good old drugs would be lovely, get a bit fed up with alternative stuff after a few years.

Thats funny, me too. I would be more than happy to be hooked up to an iv of something. Most of the alternative stuff is such a waste of money. I spend about $500 a month on vitamins and im not really sure it helps that much.
I think the drug ampligen might be coming out this year, but im not sure how well it works. At least its something new.

You would think they could come up with a decent treatment by now. Im still waiting on ampligen to be released. I'm not sure that will ever happen.

With better funding for research they might have had a treatment by now.

After all of those genetic tests by the cdc, proving chronic fatigue is real. Youd think they would be able to get some decent funding, Im not really sure if the amount of funding has imporved yet or not.

There was a front page article in the new york times last month that said fibromyaliga was a completely made up illness. Its pretty unbelievable sometimes.

Be nice if you could infect people who doubt it just for a couple of weeks, would soon change their mind.

I know a couple of people who are trying this and are pleased so far.

The difference between this and other such treatments is that if you find no benefit after 6 months there is a money back guarentee!

Othe CFS 'treatments' do not make such offers

Well I've had a good look at everything I could find about amygdala and I am somewhat impressed by it. The cost is insignificant compared to what I have spent over the last couple of years on things that just don't work.
I totally agree with this guy about the causes of CFS, it is totally stress related.
I'm 74 and I don't have time to wait around for someone to convince me so I've just made the purchase on-line.
I live in hope!
