There are also many online reports of patients benefiting from Clonazepam. Several ME/CFS specialists are advocates of Clonazepam under the right circumstances, such as Dr. It also has potential effects as a sleep aid, neuroprotector and energy enhancer. Clonazepam may benefit patients due to reducing the overstimulation of the brain and central nervous system. The appropriate dosages of the compounded and atomised Nystatin and the chelating PX are provided by the compounding pharmacy.Ĭlonazepam– This treatment is one of the most polarising ME/CFS treatments in existence. Patients experiencing die-off symptoms range from 30-40% according to Dr. Brewer’s Protocol has become safer for patients, with followers of the protocol rarely reporting nasal side effects. Since replacing Amphotericin B with Nystatin, Dr. Brewer’s Protocol involves treating the sinus reservoirs of mycotoxins that may be causing ME/CFS symptoms. Brewer has used a compounded and atomised Nystatin due to it being safer than the nasal Amphotericin B. Approximately a third of these 88 CFS patients reached remission. 88 out of the remaining 94 patients (93.6%) had a reduction in symptoms. Brewer found that 56 out of 151 ME/CFS patients could not tolerate the Amphotericin B. Patients should also take a chelating PX. Brewer’s Protocol– This protocol involves patients taking either a nasal version of Amphotericin B or a compounded Nystatin that has to be atomised. It is normally taken 3 times a day (away from food) at a dosage of 500mg on each occasion.ĭr.

As always, consult with your physician before commencing any treatment.Īzithromycin– Azithromycin is an antibiotic that has antiviral and immunomodulatory properties.
