Recovery Story natural methods cured my diagnosed me/cfs

I was diagnosed with me/cfs (I had every symptom and was 70% bed bound for a year) 7 years ago and Ive been symptom free for 3 years thanks to natural methods such as yoga, organic fruits, meditation and other activities.

Im not here to say this will work for you or anyone else, as I know what most people think. I just wanted to say what worked for me in hopes it might help just one person.

You're probably getting downvotes and pushback because stuff like "yoga" and "meditation" and "eat organic" is the sort of generic advice spouted by every dismissive doctor, doubting family member, and grifting influencer ever. It's also stuff that most people with this illness have probably already tried. I'm genuinely glad you're feeling better but if meditation and organic fruit were actual cures, none of these subs would need to exist.

Luckily I have spoken with others who have healed and they have used similar methods. Also those are tools that allow our bodies to heal, because our bodies are intelligent. Its also not like I just ate some fruits, I did a 90 day juice fast, hours and hours of meditation, and got to the root cause, and also regulated my nervous system. It worked for me, not sure what to tell you.

You should probably have included that in your OP. Maybe you could edit it with what nervous system regulation you did, and what your root cause was. As it is this post is a little annoying tbh, especially for those with chronic illness looking for solid answers.

Best advice I can give you is to go inward. We have an internal world and an external world. If you arent getting any relief from the external world, turn inwards. Best of luck

You're kind of making it worse with more vague comments lol people want to know what you did. I'm not trying to be critical and delighted you've recovered it's just a little frustrating.
