==Media reports of athletes and CFS== There have been unverified media reports of athletes diagnosed with [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]] (ME) or CFS who have recovered in a relatively short period of time after rest, supplementation, and diet changes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://inews.co.uk/news/health/marathon-runner-quit-work-me-cfs-diet-change/| title = Marathon runner housebound after developing ME claims diet change gave him his life back | last = Tanner | first = Claudia | date = 2018-07-13 | website = inews.co.uk|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-02-28}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/muslim-fighter-with-me-who-left-an-arranged-marriage-to-win-world-title-svxhhzt57| title = Muslim fighter with ME who left an arranged marriage to win world title | last = Broadbent | first = Rick | date = 2017-12-02|work=The Times|access-date=2019-02-28|language=en|issn=0140-0460}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news | url=http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/committee-reviews-potentially-harmful-and-old/10010408 |at=6mins 18s| title = Committee reviews 'potentially harmful and old fashioned' chronic fatigue treatments|publisher=ABC News | first =Andy|last = Park | first2 = Clare | last2 = O'Halloran}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/committee-reviews-potentially-harmful-and-old/10010408| title = Committee reviews 'potentially harmful and old fashioned' chronic fatigue treatments | last = | first = | authorlink = | date = Jul 18, 2018 | website = abc.net.au|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=|quote=LAYNE BEACHLEY, FMR WORLD CHAMPION SURFER: Well, at first I just thought it was a natural part of being fatigued and being an extreme athlete.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/nathan-douglas-london-2012-was-the-darkest-period-of-my-life-vxt5gftcx| title = Nathan Douglas: London 2012 was the darkest period of my life | last = Broadbent | first = Rick | date = 2019-02-27|work=The Times|access-date=2019-02-28|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|language=en|issn=0140-0460|quote=}}</ref> However, scientific studies and case reports on this are lacking. Dietary changes and rest have not been found to be a cure for ME/CFS, and no dietary changes or supplements have been found to be an effective treatment in clinical trials.<ref name="ICP2011primer" /><ref name="canadianconsensus" /> In ME/CFS, a healthy balanced diet is suggested and nutritional tests should be run prior to diagnosis to identify any alternative causes of fatigue or impairment.<ref name="ICP2011primer" /><ref name="fukuda1994" />
