Highly effective treatment of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome—results of a placebo controlled study and how to apply the protocol

Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, Oct, 2002 by Jacob Teitelbaum

In treating over 2,000 CFIDS/FMS patients, a treatment protocol has now evolved that offers effective therapy for the >6 million Americans unnecessarily crippled with CFS/FMS. Our initial pilot study and our follow-up randomized trial show that over 85% of patients improved with treatment (Teitelbaum, Bird, 1995 and 2001) (see www.endfatigue.com). (32) These very ill patients require time and compassion -- as well as an organized treatment approach.
