Antibodies

The immune system, or defense system, protects our body against intruders such as viruses and bacteria. There is evidence that disrupted immune responses are involved in ME/CFS.

Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM)

People with ME/CFS experience a worsening of their symptoms after exertion, and this can last for a long time. This is called post exertional malaise (PEM).

Gut Microbiome

By gut microbiome we mean the microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that live in the intestines.

Genetic predisposition

The development of ME/CFS may be determined for 48–56% by a person’s hereditary predisposition, in other words, their genetic (DNA) background.
