Living with a chronic illness like ME/CFS or similar conditions can be incredibly frustrating, especially when traditional medical routes fall short. Doctors may lack knowledge about your condition, refuse off-label prescriptions due to guidelines or skepticism, or simply dismiss symptoms as psychosomatic. In these cases, many patients turn to self-sourcing prescription drugs online, like buying genuine medications without a script, to experiment with treatments that could improve quality of life. This approach isn't without risks, but it empowers those who've exhausted conventional options. Here's why and how to do it safely, based on reliable sources and user experiences.
The dry fasting club Scorch protocol focuses on these medications in order of importance:
- T3 - Sodium liothyronine for the t3 metabolic therapy and insulin resistance.
- Fluconazole - Antifungal for Candida overgrowth due to a weak immune system and insulin resistance
- Ivermectin and Mebendazole/Fenbendazole - for parasite cleanse of a weakened immune system and insulin resistance
- Cyproheptadine - For help with sleep, hunger, anti-nausea, anti-histamine, and insulin resistance.
- Somatotropin/hGH - Final steps in recovery of the pituitary, thymus, hypothalamus, liver, and more.
Everything else can be purchased OTC (Over-the-counter) like TUDCA, myoinositol, blood and thymus supplements, L-carnitine, ALA, selenium, B vitamins, aspirin, etc. Don't forget dry fasting is still a main focus point (autophagy, stem cell regeneration, growth hormone, and the hyperosmotic state, which helps with microtubule repair (heard of the quantum theories around microtubules before?)). Still, without some of these interventions, you might be spinning your wheels in the sand or worse, like actually deteriorating after fasting.
What I've learned over the last few years is that dry fasting by itself is not enough for serious problems. Those who yell loudest from the rooftops are only experiencing a temporary improvement (in the first few months or years) before things get worse again and require twice, three times, four times, or five times longer dry fasts to feel better. Very unsustainable, and my goal is to truly cure the underlying issues which require dry fasting as PART of the solution, not the only solution.
Why Self-Source Drugs for Chronic Illness?
For patients with untreatable or poorly understood chronic conditions, buying drugs yourself can be a game-changer:
- Disability and Accessibility: If you're housebound or mentally frail, doctor visits can be exhausting or impossible.
- Doctor Limitations: Physicians might not prescribe off-label due to evidence-based rules, insurance, or lack of expertise. Patients often know more about their illness than their doctors.
- Trial and Error: Chronic illnesses vary wildly. What works for one person might not for another. Testing dozens of drugs (e.g., antivirals, antifungals, or hormones) is key, but docs rarely have time for this.
- Cost Savings: Generic imports from countries like India are often cheaper, especially when purchased without insurance or disability support.
- Empowerment: When the system fails, self-treatment can lead to real improvements, like reduced fatigue or better symptom management.
How to Find Reliable Prescription-Free Pharmacies
Look for long-established sites that ship genuine drugs without needing a prescription (even if they mention one, often it's bypassed via a quick questionnaire). Prioritize those with good reviews, low scam reports, and a track record of three or more years. Verify authenticity by searching for "[pharmacy name] scam" on Google or using TrustPilot. Verify drug genuineness by contacting manufacturers with packaging photos. Canada and "some" European countries are essentially prisons when it comes to purchasing medications. Keep that in mind if your packages get stopped at customs.
My recommendations
Self-sourcing isn't ideal, but for chronic illness warriors ignored by the system, it's a lifeline. Start small, verify everything, and prioritize safety above all else. If you're in a tough spot like Canada or the Netherlands, reach out, I’ve got resources to share.
If you're lucky, you may even be able to find fish-sourced medications to bypass prescriptions, such as 200mg fish fluconazole, which is often the same as regular human-grade fluconazole. Many women opt for this route to have it on hand for yeast infections.
By the end, you will be eating a much higher-carbohydrate diet and thriving. Your energy will be higher, your depression will improve, you will wake up feeling joyful, your skin conditions and brain fog will subside, and your intelligence will increase. You will question everything you've been doing until now, and you will finally understand that metabolic health (aka - glucose metabolism) is the most essential part of health, and the one that 95% of the population has royally effed up. This is why carnivore and keto diets are gaining popularity. No one can properly utilize carbohydrates/sugars. The lifestyle, preservatives, unsaturated fats, and processed foods have compromised your ability to use glucose. The scorch protocol fixes this.
