What is going on with the Dr. F. Mystery Bug?
Has it been dismissed?
I do not even see anything on his site.

It never quite took off. Many docs started to grow suspicious since there is only one doc in the world who can diagnose the organism (dr. F.) Then he kept changing what it is. First it's a parasite, then something more like a fungus.
Some LLMD's still think it's a concern and still treat it, like Dr. C in PA. But even she has stated that she isn't sure what it is. But that it does seem to clear up with anti-parasite meds, etc.

Thanks bcb1200.
What about the low fat diet? Is anyone, including Dr. F., recommending that any more?

I don't know. I used to see Dr. C mention it but she doesn't in more recent presentations.
My LLMD is dead set against low fat diet as the brain is like 70%+ fat and needs fats
