PhoenixCFS (PCFS) is an excellent resource site with a forum and a number of research articles.
http://phoenix-cfs.org

Dr Joseph Mercola has a number of articles on his web site about health and diet. He also has a book 'Total Health Program' available as a paperback (2003) from Amazon (cheaper) or an e-book from his site (more expensive). He is also selling a variety of health products on his web site, including Whey Healthier and Kefir Starter Pack (freeze dried kefir granules). Delivery times may vary. Dr Mercola is also a health consultant. He also sits on the Board of Directors of the WestonA. Price Foundation. Dr Mercola is no stranger to controversy, and whilst I find the majority of his articles useful, they are rather informal in presentation (i.e. blogs). Dr Mercola sometimes make bold claims without backing these up with hard facts. However that might be said about medicalinsider.com! He does also make the odd blunder. Use your own judgement. Overall his web site is a great resource.

End Fatigue is Dr Jacob Teitelbaum's web site. He sells a range of supplements for CFS. He is also a consultant for CFS and FMS sufferers. He can recommend consultants in your area. His book From Fatigued To Fantastic (listed in the books section below) is also worth buying as a reference guide for certain areas, but contains no information on toxicity and detoxification, and does not strongly differentiate between recommended and less ideal treatments described.

CureZone.Com is a major source of information on a variety of health issues. The usefulness and accuracy of information on this site may vary.

Natural News has up to date articles in the realm of health. The quality is generally good but some may need to be taken with a pinch of salt in my opinion (or rather put into context).
http://naturalnews.com

ProHealth.com (formerly known as ImmuneSupport.com) has some high level summaries of CFS and FMS, and also includes news articles relating to these areas and also CFS and FMS forums, bulletin boards and communities.

Dr Myhill's approach to treating CFS is to treat mitochondrial dysfunction by removing toxins or other factors that have caused it, to provide enough co-factors to allow proper mitochondrial function, and to repair oxidative damage and enough rest and a good diet. These are some of the principles discussed on www.medicalinsider.com.

Beat CFS and FMS aka Advanced Techniques for Overcoming CFS, FMS and GWS is a personal web site with a good overview of many causative factors, areas of investigation and possible treatments regarding CFS, Fibromyalgia and Gulf War Syndrome. Detoxification, in particular chelation, is limited here however to synthetic chelants, which is not medicalinsider's favoured approach. Otherwise a very good high level summary.

Ken Lassesen's CFS web site was under construction in 2001 but never appears to have been finished. However, he did compile it into a single pdf file. It contains a huge amount of information, not all of which I have validated or approved necessarily, but well worth a read or scan.

Weston A. Price Foundation is a web resource for diet and health information. Some articles are somewhat poorly written and make various controversial claims without a great deal of evidence or logical reasoning. Use your own common sense and judgement. Other articles lack clarity and could benefit from executive summaries weighing arguments and evidence from both sides. But otherwise the site is a useful source of information.

The book covers a broad range of material, and contains information on toxicity, its effects, lifestyle, phospholipid exchange, diet and detoxification, and nutritional supplements, and is based largely on the Detoxx protocol and Gerson therapy. This book is reviewed by myself here
http://thiscureworks.com/cfs
Ian Solley also now offers an e- book entitled 'This Diet Works: Your Food Freedom!', written by Katreena Watherston with a forward about low GI diet by Hazel Du Preez. It is essentially a high protein, low GI Index diet recipe book. It is designed for use by those with food allergies, to treat and cure those allergies, in a similar way that the Paleo, SCD or GAPS diets are designed for this purpose. It is based to some degree on the Detoxx diet but includes some grains such as Quinoa and also some beans. I will be reviewing this book in due course.
