Dr. Learner's Practitioner's Guide

Under my list of Reference Sites on the right side of the page, I've added a new link to Dr. Learner's Practitioner's guide.  Here it is again.

Dr. Learner provides some excellent recommendations about the appropriate doses and frequency of antiviral treatment for ME/CFS.  Based on his recommendations, I am not taking nearly enough valacylovir.  He would advise that I take the same dose that I'm currently taking (1 gram), except four times a day, not one.  I'll discuss this with Dr. W at my next appointment.

He also includes a section about treating co-infections such as Lyme and Mycoplasma Pneumonia, which he says must be treated first, before the anti-viral treatment begins.  Again, he would apparently advise that the Doxycycline regimin that I'm taking for Mycoplasma isn't nearly enough.
