ME/CFS

Not long ago I sat in front of the computer monitor in tears.  I was watching Youtube videos of people suffering from ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).  As I sat there watching the videos I reminisced back to July of 2001 when I sat in front of my computer searching the internet for answers.  It was a very difficult thing for me to even sit in front of a computer because I suffered from electrical sensitivity due to the  ME/CFS. Because of that sensitivity, I was able to sit in front of a computer monitor for only brief periods - 10 to 15 minutes at a time.  As a result of my research, I was very much convinced that my dilemma was a result of mercury poisoning from my dental fillings (what my dentist referred to as silver fillings).  My health was deteriorating rapidly and I knew I had precious little time to get some answers before I crashed completely.  At that moment I felt Jesus speaking to my heart.  If I heard Him correctly He said, "You are about to go through some difficult days, but you will learn much through your experience and then you will in turn be able to help others."

I had to repent as I sat there watching the Youtube videos.  My heart went out to those who were sharing their struggles with ME/CFS. All I could think of was, "I must do what I can to reach out and help others."

Hello, my name is Aletha (Maisie) Birkelbach.  I am a survivor of ME/CFS.  I can't say I am cured of the disease, however, I can say I have discovered a viable solution for the malady.

If you are looking for a quick and easy solution for ME/CFS you won't find it on this website.  What you will find is a simple explanation of what ME/CFS is and how it can affect one's body.  You will discover what could very well be the cause of your illness if you are afflicted with ME/CFS.  And, you will be shown a simple, practical and effective treatment for ME/CFS.

Following the outline of treatment I have proposed on this website will require discipline and determination on your part.  Chances are, you did not contract ME/CFS overnight, and overcoming the illness is not likely to be resolved overnight.  But hopefully you are sick and tired of being sick and tired and you are ready to do whatever you must to conquer this giant in your own life.

I have purposely designed this website to be simple because chances are you are operating on 1/2 to 1/3 of your brain since your cognitive functions are most likely to be greatly impaired and 'brain fog' has set in.  If so, then reading and understanding what normally is found on the internet can be a serious challenge for you.  You, too, could be experiencing 'electrical sensitivity' so the time you can spend in front of a computer monitor can be very limited also.

This website offers a simple, yet detailed, alternative approach to the treatment of ME/CFS.  'Alernative' meaning different from the mainstream medical procedures designed to treat ME/CFS, most of which are still in experimental phase.  On the website I share with you each step I took on my own personal Road to Recovery from ME/CFS. I included a few websites that may be helpful to you in your research.  You will also find a list of resources for your own personal study and application.

I pray this website can bring hope into what may seem to you a hopeless situation.  I pray you are willing to roll up your sleeves and get to work to regain your own health.  All I can do is point you to the Road to Recovery that was paved out for me with God's help.  Whether you take a similar path is up to you.
