About Immune-mediated allergies
Immune-mediated allergies and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) share immune dysregulation features, but allergies typically trigger acute IgE-driven responses, while ME/CFS involves chronic low-grade inflammation.
In ME/CFS patients, allergies like atopy (e.g., pollen, food sensitivities) occur at higher rates, potentially worsening fatigue via histamine release and cytokine shifts during allergen exposure. Heightened innate immunity in ME/CFS, including exaggerated responses to stimuli, mirrors allergy mechanisms but leads to prolonged post-exertional malaise rather than immediate symptoms. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0091674998700909
About Long Covid
- Long COVID is a serious illness that can result in chronic conditions requiring comprehensive care and may cause disability

- Anyone who had a SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes COVID-19, can experience Long COVID, including children

About ME/CFS
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling chronic illness. People with ME/CFS experience profound fatigue that does not go away with rest, as well as problems with sleep and memory or concentration. The hallmark symptom is post-exertional malaise (PEM), a worsening of the illness that can start immediately or hours to days after even minor physical or mental activity. This “crash” can last from hours or days to several months. Further common symptoms include orthostatic intolerance, dizziness or faintness when upright, and pain.
The cause of the disease is unknown. ME/CFS often starts after an infection, such as infectious mononucleosis, and it can run in families. ME/CFS is associated with changes in the nervous and immune systems, as well as in energy production. The diagnosis is established based on the presence of clinical symptoms and systematic differential diagnosis; there is no diagnostic laboratory test or imaging procedure available for ME/CFS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myalgic_encephalomyelitis/chronic_fatigue_syndrome
About Acupuncture and Moxibustion
Both have shown very promising results in improving immune function, and restoring homeostasis. There is no magic bullet for the conditions aforementioned, and treatment needs to be tailored to the individual patient, rather than using a set protocol to a condition that is both complex and elusive. The adaptability of acupuncture and moxibustion, when dealing with complex health problems, is unmatched, offering much promise in severely affected patients.
