ME/CFS is a common illness without a known single causative etiology. With the rise of ‘Long Covid’ this illness is getting more attention both in the media and in the medical community. What causes ME/CFS? A single etiology with an objective parameter for diagnosis is satisfying- but what if we never find it?

In my personal and professional journey, I have sought the root cause of ME/CFS and have landed on an interactive grouping of 5 root causes. I will discuss these root causes, how to diagnose and treat them effectively. I will offer up an algorithm to help the practitioner find the particular healing path for their patient. We will discuss the potential for autoimmunity as a causative factor for ME/CFS as well as considerations to assess and treat Long-Covid. We will look at specific cases to demonstrate realistic expectations and outcomes.
