This is not a recommendation

A spokesperson for Sheffield ME and Fibromyalgia Group said there is no scientific evidence for any of the methods Giselle mentioned in curing ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).

They added: "As there is no cure or effective treatment for ME/CFS it is understandable that people turn to alternative or complementary medicine such as ear seeds, which are a needle-free form of acupuncture or acupressure.

"Some studies have shown that acupuncture can give some people short-term relief from headaches and some forms of chronic pain, as well as nausea and vomiting. However, there is no evidence that it can cure ME/CFS.

"We are open to alternative approaches, however, our recommendations are limited to treatments supported by robust scientific evidence affirming their safety and effectiveness. Sometimes we feel it is necessary to warn others about highly speculative treatments and unevidenced treatments that incur significant costs and make bold claims."
