If you want to know what causes CFS/Long Covid, + how to treat it, you read it here 1st.
“There are three stages of scientific discovery: first, people deny it is true, then they deny it is important. Finally, they credit the wrong person” – Billy Bryson.
Bachodi.in (DV 3:25 B24 Dec 2024).
The other Critique I heard, possibly on New Zealand National Radio, of Making a Scientific Discovery, was that there are 3 Stages; 1st you are Ignored; Then You are Ridiculed; + Finally Everyone Accepts it as Obvious (DV 23:05 F7 Feb 2025).

Epidemiology
CFS. "The Prevalence of CFS is Officially Quoted as being 2/1,000, but is Probably closer to 4/1,000." [CS] (DV 18:00 H20 Jul 2025).
Prognosis
Watch this space (DV 18:00 H20 Jul 2025).
Economic Cost
1. Annual Cost of CFS + Long Covid to the US Economy = $US 400 Billion.
Prevalence of CFS = 4/1,000 [CS]. US Population = 333,271,411 (2022). = 1.3 million with CFS.
Prevalence of Long Covid = 7.2% of the US Adult Popn [3]. US Adult Popn = 260,046,087 [4] (2022). = 18,723,318 million with LC.
Total CFS + LC = 20,056,403. @ $US20,000 per household per yr = $US 400 Billion/yr.
2. Long Covid. Annual Global Economic Impact = about 1% of Global GDP [5] = $US 1 trillion.
[3_] BMC Public Health. "Prevalence of factors associated with long Covid among US adults : a nationwide Survey" Published 13 May 2025.
[4_] Defined as 18 yrs, or older. [5_] Nature.com . Pub 9 Aug 2024. World GDP in 2022 was $US 100 trillion. (DV 18:00 H20 Jul 2025).
It's Something In The Blood
Hi Ron. I figured out it was Something In The Blood + what it is in 2007. The short answer is 2 types of Glycosylated Vitamin D. Possibly the same 2 chemicals which control Bear Hibernation. I'm interested in knowing their half lives (DV 08:00 G30 Sept 2023, 11:45 C12 Feb 2025).
Long Covid
Re Prof Warren Tate, University of Otago, New Zealand. W is on the record as stating that "Long Covid is Virtually Identical to CFS" (DV 4:10 B24 Dec 2024).
Explanation
Golgi/Hibernation Hypothesis. Watch this space (CT 6 June 2010). CFS is Chronic Human Hibernation, virtually identical to what Bears do. Part of my explanation for this, is that our Immune System evolved out of our Hibernation System, possibly starting about 800 million years ago. Vitamin D first turned up in plankton about this time. Bears don't sleep for 4 months during the Winter. Winter is more a time of reduced activity (DV 7:07 H10 Dec 2023).
Prof Ron Davis became aware that CFS is similar to Hibernation (Dauer) 2016. He suggested Treatments Targeting this. Developing a Treatment, Targeting Hibernation/Dauer, is exactly what I've been doing since late 2005 (DV 17:45 E10 Jul 2025).
Treatment
Strength Training, + Vitamin D Pulse Therapy, are effective treatments for CFS. I'll explain, what I've done, in due course. They may also be effective for preventing, + treating other medical conditions, especially VDPT, eg Fibromyalgia, Anorexia, Irregular Heart Beat, Itchy Ear Canal, etc.
Strength Training
Unless there is a good reason why not, Strength Training is something every CFS Sufferer should try. My experience was that I instantly felt better. My expectation is that if it will make you feel better, you will know immediately (DV 15:25 C12 Feb 2025).
Strength Training may be Effective for 10% of CFS Sufferers. Jan 2006. It certainly didn't cure my CFS, but made me feel 10x Better. I discovered this when I did some squats for a sore knee. The improvement lasted for 24 hrs, so I started split training, exercising above the waist one day, then below the waist the next. After 6 months, the effect was permanent. Modulates the Immune System. Prior to Strength Training I was Restless. I could never get comfortable. I'd feel like lying down, + then when I did I'd still feel comfortable, + wanted to get back up. I felt the same way when I was 8 yrs old + had a Stomach Viral Infection (DV 9:00 G22 Feb 2025).

Vitamin D
I'm planning to post some of the risks involved, in using Vitamin D, to treat CFS. Watch this space ( CT, C13 Sept 2023).
See [2] and pdrhealth.com.
Using Vitamin D, to treat CFS, is not identified at [1].
[FJ] : Definitive Website on; using Vitamin D to treat CFS; and Vit D generally. Read this site if you are considering, or planning to treat your CFS with Vit D.
Symptom Treatment
Watch this space. Involves taking Vitamin D supplements, 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off, ie 8K IU (International Units) every 2nd Day, for 4 weeks; then stopping for 4 weeks; then repeat (DV G20 Sept 2023).
Vitamin D Pulse Therapy
Treatment Description: 6 Month, High Dose, Vitamin D Pulse Therapy. The pitfalls are Gnarly. 6MHDVDPT. treats the underlying cause of the condition. If you have CFS +/or Fibromyalgia, it is 100x better to try the latest version of this treatment, rather than do nothing. There is evidence that increasing relaxin concentration in the blood, will increase the efficacy of this treatment. Watch this space (DV A09 Oct 2023).
Another Long Story Short.
If you measured the Vitamin D levels in your Blood, once/day, for a year; + plotted the results, you have just just drawn a Wave. The Shape of this Wave can be manipulated by taking calculated amounts of Vitamin D, on certain dates, again calculated, eg day 1, day 2 ... day 156, day 157. It has taken 18 yrs to develop this Treatment. I started late 2005. This is the way to Treat CFS/Long Covid. I estimate my Vitamin D Levels (DV 11:30 B9 Jul 2024).
If your Vitamin D Levels are High, I recommend that you don't Sunbath, late Autumn, Winter, or Early Spring. My experience has been that the High Ratio of UVA/UVB may cause your Vitamin D Levels to Drop Sharply (Early May 2008, Auckland, New Zealand (Southern Hemisphere). This is undesirable (DV 10:45 B9 Jul 2024).
Efficacy
Me
Will my Treatment work on Me? Yes. My Experimental Results indicate that my Treatment will work on me, ie result in Lasting Improvement. The Probability that my Experimental Results are Random is less than 1 in 64 million.
You
Will my Treatment work on You? A far as I'm aware I'm the only Person on the Planet who has tried my Treatment, ie Sample Size 1 (n=1). Bayes Theorem is used to make predictions when the Sample Size is Small. Bayes Theorem Predicts that my Treatment will be Effective on 66% of the CFS/Long Covid Population (Mean). Based on 19 yrs of CFS/LC Research, my personal estimates are that my Treatment will be effective on 66, 76, 83, or 93% of the CFS/LC Population (In this Range). I have always had a Poor Prognosis, Slow + Late Onset (44yrs old) [CS]. This suggests that my Treatment will typically work better on others (DV 11:05 C16 Jul 2024).
[CS_] Dr Charles Shepherd, Chief Advisor to the UK ME Society. "ME/CFS/PVFS: The MEA Clinical & Research Guide: an Exploration of the Key Clinical Issues". Originally Published 2022. My Copy is about 2015 + it's in Storage.
Full Recovery
Based on my Model of CFS/LC;
1. I expect that Full Lasting Recovery will be Typical; +
2. It would be Desirable, to stay on my Treatment for the Rest of your Life. You are not Cured of CFS/LC. My expectation is that if you don't continue with my Treatment, you will be prone to Relapse.
Lasting Relapse/Recovery
Watch this Space (DV 8:50 A23 Jun 2025).
Other Treatments
Other Treatments will not be Effective in the Promotion of CFS/Long Covid Recovery, because they do not treat the underlying cause of CFS/LC, which is Chronic Human Hibernation (DV 23:55 H20 Jul 2025).

I've viewed this site, at Archive.org, this year. A home page capture, from about 2010, is probably a good place to start. CFS sufferer, Frank Jenner, noticed, that sunlight exposure, made him feel better. What he didn't figure out, is that the reason, was increasing Vitamin D levels, in the blood. CFS sufferers symptoms are better when their Vitamin D levels are rising, + worse when their Vitamin D levels are falling. This is primitive hibernation. I'll explain why hibernation, + the immune system, are linked, in due course (DV G16 Sept 2023).

Forum History
5 Oct 2005 Forum started, at Openwiki.com : Chronic Fatigue.
12 pgs of handwritten, & 28 pgs of typed content waiting to be scanned. Progress has been at snails pace because I have CFS myself (DV 22 Oct 2005).
25 April 2010. Forum shifted from Openwiki.com to cfsme.wikispaces.com.
14 Nov 2014 to G9 Sept 2023. Forum offline. Wikispaces started charging + I couldn't figure out how to pay the subscription. On 31 Jan 2019 the whole site was taken down.
H10 Sept 2023. Forum posted at CFS.Fandom.com. I had a BU copy stored at GMail.
B12 Sept 2023. Forum shifted to EditThis.info/CFS/Main_Page. 10x better than F.c. Wiki Farm Model. Free. The Site had some Issues, the main one being Adverts. The MediaWiki Software used was 15 to 20 yrs out of date (DV 4:40 G21 Jun 2025).
A17 Mar 2025. Forum shifted to WikiSite.info/Cfs/Main_Page, hosted by Namecheap. Hosting Model. $US 4.48/month. No Adverts. Currently the latest MediaWiki Software.
There are Providers that will host a Website for Free, however I would describe going down this path as Clunky. Even when only paying a small amount, such as $US 4.48/month, the whole experience is A LOT better (DV 4:40 G21 Jun 2025).
A wiki is a powerful tool that allows multiple users to collaborate and share content rapidly. The best example of this is Wikipedia, which is powered by the exact same software that this wiki is!
Hit Counter
