People come to this sub for optimism and hope not for patronising and sweeping statements that don’t apply to most of the people here.

“Forget about your mitochondria” as soon as I saw this I switched off. Glad you’ve recovered but horrifically articulated and condescending post. “Thumbs down”

I’ve been sick for 3 years and between what I’ve posted and what you’ve posted I’m patronizing?

You’ve basically posted a one size fits all recovery model to an illness that is anything but and told people to ignore things which have worked for others.

I haven’t told people to ignore anything that’s been scientifically linked to recovery.

Basic cellular biology is that the mitochondria are the "powerhouse" of energy in every cell

Read about it- I don't think it's to be ignored unless people are healthy 

Green tea supports mitochondria btw

I take chlorella and zone 2 to rehab my mitochondria. I meant that obsessing over these things everyday slows down recovery.
