This study looked at 134 ME/CFS patients seen at one hospital in Japan and found that many had immune system abnormalities, including weakened natural killer cells and reactions to common substances like dust and pollen. Researchers also discovered some patients had low levels of certain fatty acids in their blood. When treated with a traditional Chinese herbal medicine called Ren-Shen-Yang-Rong-Tang, about 73% of patients were able to return to work or school.
