Patrick Ussher, author of Understanding ME/CFS and Strategies for Healing

Patrick Ussher is an author, advocate, educator and patient himself. His book Understanding ME/CFS and Strategies for Healing explains current research and theory about a unifying explanation for ME/CFS and what that means for treatment strategies. He explains the Mitodicure initiative to actually cure ME/CFS (pending funding), and also discusses some experimental (**i.e., not recommended: consult YOUR doctor about what's right for you**) treatments that he has tried, including HELP Apheresis, HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy), a carnivore diet and more. He also shares why he wrote a book about "psychogenic drinking" that -- among POTS and ME/CFS patients -- may not be psychogenic after all.
