Produktbeschreibung

Has the mystery of ME/CFS finally been solved?

For decades, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) has remained a medical enigma-misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and often dismissed. But breakthrough research might finally be changing that.

In this accessible and hopeful guide, ME/CFS patient Patrick Ussher distills the groundbreaking work of Professors Klaus Wirth and Carmen Scheibenbogen, who have proposed a compelling unifying model of ME/CFS. This new understanding brings together multiple dysfunctions-low blood volume, microclots, mitochondrial damage, autoimmunity, and more-into one interconnected cycle. It may, at last, explain why so many suffer from post-exertional malaise, brain fog, and relentless fatigue.

More than just theory, this book offers practical healing strategies:

• Breathing techniques like the Buteyko Method
• Ancestral nutrition and gut repair
• Microclot treatment options
• The Perrin technique
• Promising future medications-especially the new 'Mitodicure' pill, which could become the first drug specifically for ME/CFS

Patrick also shares his own story of living with ME/CFS and what has helped him most-physically and emotionally. His goal is simple: to empower fellow patients with knowledge, practical tools, and renewed hope.

Whether you have ME/CFS or Long Covid, this book will help you understand your illness-and imagine a life beyond it.

Includes a foreword by Prof. Klaus Wirth who is developing the 'Mitodicure' pill.

Reviews

"I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone seeking to enhance their quality of life or to better understand possible pathways to improvement for conditions like ME/CFS, Long COVID, or other post-acute infection syndromes. Patrick Ussher's work is a beacon of hope, offering both scientific understanding and tangible solutions for those in need."

- Prof. Peter Deen, Professor in Metabolic Physiology of the Radboud university, Nijmegen, The Netherlands and CEO of Streasure4Health, a start-up developing diagnostics for ME/CFS, Long Covid and Other Post-Acute Infection Syndromes

" In this book, Patrick Ussher skillfully integrates a huge amount of research that at first glance looks unrelated. From it, he communicates a unique and compelling hypothesis about what is going on in ME/CFS and how to recover. Ussher supplements the science with his own personal journey of improvement and that of other patients. Understanding ME/CFS is a respectful, balanced and very readable book for both practitioners and lay readers".

- Dr. Eleanor Stein MD FRCP(C), Canadian physician with 35+ years-experience in the field and former ME/CFS patient.

'Understanding ME/CFS & Strategies for Healing offers one patient's view through the long grass which has grown around an illness badly served by medical dogmatists, and it is a view which readers have much to learn from. It could herald a sea change in how ME/CFS is researched, managed, treated... and, just possibly, cured.'

- George Winter, The Medical Independent
