Our Course Contributors
Dr Mark Donohoe
Dr Mark sees patients from around Australia and overseas with complex illnesses, including chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), fibromyalgia (FM), chemical toxicity and sensitivities (MCS) and chronic inflammation.Â
Treatment usually starts with non-drug therapies, including diet, exercise and lifestyle change, moving on to specific, individualised therapeutic needs of each patient. His preference is for employing very specific non drug therapies to restore capacity and balance, and to achieve long-term, sustainable recovery.Â
