Though the section is quite new, these are currently the top rated treatments at Remedyfind.com for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS; CFIDS; M.E.). Remedyfind is an unbiased (unsponsored), non-commercial, international site that allows individuals and healthcare professionals to rate the effectiveness of the different treatments they have used for specific health conditions - including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
The first number after the treatment name is the overall rating score; 1 = lowest / 5 = highest (the overall score averages the ratings for: effectiveness; lack of side effects; ease of use; cost effectiveness). The second number (the one in parenthesis) shows the number of individual ratings (based on remedies that have received 3 or more ratings).
IMMUNE / NEUROLOGICAL SUPPORT
Homeopathy 4.9 *(3)
Whey protein supplements 4.4 *(3)
Probiotics (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium etc.) 3.8 *(3)
FATIGUE
Meditation 4.9 *(3)
Reiki 4.4 *(3)
Magnesium 4.1 *(7)
NADH (Enada) 4 *(5)
Malic Acid 4 *(4)
Vitamin B-12: Injections (Cyanocobalamin) 3.8 *(5)
Provigil etc. (Modafinil) 3.3 *(4)
Prozac etc. (Fluoxetine) 3.3 *(3)
Acupuncture 2.5 *(5)
Obviously these ratings reflect the opinions of only a small number of people - and what works for one person will not necessarily work for another - but the hope is that over time the most generally effective treatments will begin to show themselves.
