The Human Variable 

ME/CFS is a relapsing, multisystem condition characterized by immune disruption, neuroinflammation, autonomic dysfunction, and energy metabolism abnormalities. Trials should anchor in stabilization before pursuing cure.

For decades, ME/CFS has been treated as a monolith in research, despite overwhelming evidence of heterogeneity across patients. This failure to stratify has been a primary driver of trial collapse, clinical mismanagement, and neglect. The CYNAERA 25+ ME/CFS Phenotyping List integrates biological, environmental, and social terrain factors into a structured classification system.

Clinical trials for ME/CFS have consistently failed not because therapies were inherently ineffective, but because the system was never built for conditions like ME/CFS and related IACCs. FDA gold-standard trial design assumes predictable progression, uniform subtypes, and tolerance for interventions — none of which apply to ME/CFS The CYNAERA Thesis asserts that repurposed drugs can work for ME/CFS if trials account for post-exertional malaise (PEM),(MCAS), and POTS

The Va-IRI™ (Vaccination Immune Readiness Index) provides a structured 0–100 readiness score derived from common labs, symptom baselines, and patient function. Built on the STAIR Stable Method™ (Stabilization, Tolerance, And Immune Readiness), Va-IRI™ adapts low-and-slow principles pioneered by patients and refined through collaboration with leading researchers.

Using CYNAERA’s recalibrated US-CCUC™ prevalence models, which place the U.S. burden between 8.7 million (conservative) and 21.5 million (realistic), the annual economic impact rises to $243–817 billion.
