While millions of people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS or ME/CFS) have waited decades for better treatments, a drug called Ampligen (poly I: poly C12U) has languished in the “experimental” stage for 30 years.
Then, in October 2007, Ampligen’s manufacturer, Hemispherex Biopharma Inc., put in a New Drug Application for Ampligen as the first ever FDA approved treatment for ME/CFS. In July, the company responded to questions sent back by the FDA, and the application was officially accepted.

The administrators of the ‘Living With ME’ website do not advocate the use of any particular type of medication, treatment or healthcare! YOU should ALWAYS seek advice from a DOCTOR / GP / CONSULTANT before undertaking or ceasing any treatment!
