Ken Lassesen's model
Ken Lassesen is a mathematician and software engineer who first became ill with Chronic fatigue syndrome in _____. He has used a variety of gut micro biome-altering treatments to recover on three separate occasions. He believes the symptoms of CFS are caused by gut dysbiosis.
Theory[edit | edit source]
Lasses theorizes that CFS is caused by a mild to severe lactic acidosis caused by a shift in gut bacteria. [1] This shift can have many causes including stress, viral infection, bacterial infection, and immunization.
The shift in gut bacteria also alters host ability to extract and process nutrients, leading to deficiencies in key amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.
Variation between patients in the population of gut bacteria explains the heterogeneity of symptoms.
Hypercoagulation[edit | edit source]
Lassesen also emphasizes hypercoagulation as a major factor in CFS, which in his case is at least in part genetic.
