Understanding ME/CFS & Strategies for Healing - Paperback

by Patrick Ussher (Author), Prof Klaus Wirth (Author)

If you live with relentless exhaustion, post-exertional malaise (PEM), brain fog, or "normal" test results that explain nothing, this book will finally help you understand what's really going on.

Millions with ME/CFS, Long Covid, and post-viral fatigue are told their symptoms are a mystery. But emerging research may at last reveal the underlying mechanisms - and offer a path toward meaningful improvement.

In this clear, direct, and deeply hopeful guide, ME/CFS patient Patrick Ussher explains the breakthrough model proposed by Professors Klaus Wirth and Carmen Scheibenbogen. Their work brings together the major abnormalities seen in ME/CFS - low blood volume, microclots, autonomic dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, autoimmunity, and more - into one interconnected cycle.

It may finally explain why activity triggers PEM, why rest doesn't restore energy, and why so many develop chronic fatigue after a viral illness.

This book goes far beyond theory. It offers practical tools, science-based insights, and real-world strategies that patients use to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Inside, you'll learn about:

• Breathing techniques to improve oxygenation
• Ancestral nutrition and gut repair
• Microclot-oriented treatment approaches
• Blood-washing procedures (HELP Apheresis & Immunoadsorption)
• The Perrin Technique
• The strengths and limits of neuroplasticity ("brain retraining")
• Pacing, PEM management, and mitochondrial support
• The promising potential "Mitodicure" medication - the first drug candidate in development specifically for ME/CFS

Patrick also shares his own ME/CFS journey with honesty and clarity: what has helped him, what has not, and how he learned to navigate a misunderstood illness with both realism and hope.

If you live with:

• ME/CFS
• Long Covid
• post-viral fatigue
• dysautonomia / POTS
• unexplained fatigue with normal blood tests

...this book will give you a clear framework for understanding your symptoms and practical strategies that may help you feel better.

Straightforward. Evidence-based. Patient-centred.

A guide for anyone seeking answers to this - up until now - most 'mysterious' of illnesses.

Includes a foreword by Prof. Klaus Wirth, co-developer of the Mitodicure therapy.
