"These approaches include:
1. Antivirals, if Epstein Barr or HHV6 or CMV titers are very high. I prefer to use Valtrex or Famvir over Valcyte. Even though Valcyte is probably stronger, it's much more toxic and very expensive.
2. It might make sense to add an immune boosting product such as AHCC (a shiitake mushroom derivative) to the antiviral or to use this on its own. I've just started using this.
3. There's considerable evidence that there's inflammation in the brain in many CFS/ME patients"
