Once again, a Major CFS Study Fails to also Test AIDS Cases (We're shocked! We're shocked!)

"Our results indicate a markedly disturbed immune signature in the cerebrospinal fluid of cases that is consistent with immune activation in the central nervous system, and a shift toward an allergic or T helper type-2 pattern associated with autoimmunity." http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-scientists-clues-cognitive-dysfunction-chronic.html

HHV-6 New York Native Flashback #10

"San Francisco was host on April 15, 1989 to the largest Chronic Fatigue Syndrome conference ever held in the United States. Approximately 500 health care professionals from across the nation attended the symposium, which was sponsored by San Francisco's Department of Public Health, the San Francisco Medical Society, and the medical and nursing schools at the University of California at San Francisco. "The disease has left hundreds of Bay Area patients so disabled that they cannot work," wrote San Francisco Chronicle science editor David Perlman in a front-page story on April 17 ("Fatigue Syndrome Still a Mystery"). "In addition to flu-like symptoms--exhaustion, swollen lymph glands, sore throat and fever--researchers report that some patients more exotic symptoms, including confusion, depression, and sleep disturbances." --Neenyah Ostrom, New York Native , May 1, 1989 Visit New York Native University

The Countess of Mar, Medical Politics, and ME/CFS

“Ladies and gentlemen, I know how very difficult it is to say ‘Sorry, I got it wrong’, especially when your whole career has been based on a particular belief. I have been told that, in medicine, nothing will change until the old guard moves on. The history of medicine is littered with instances of this phenomenon. It is my very sincere wish that the situation will change radically long before the changing of the guard.” http://www.prohealth.com/library/showarticle.cfm?libid=19836

A few years ago, Alfredo A. Sadun, MD, Ph.D, made a surprise appearance at a CFIDS support group in California. Only the leader knew the reason he came. The other 44 PWCs filled out a questionnaire and, before leaving, had a simple examination. Dr. Sadun, a professor of ophthalmology and neurosurgery at the University of Southern California School of Medicine, found all 44 reported some ocular complaint. Nearly every PWC had asthenopic symptoms (t...

HHV-6 New York Native Flashback #9

"A blistering attack upon 'CFS expert' Stephen Straus at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and [NIAID's] director, Dr. Anthony Fauci, is delivered in the January/February issues of CFIDS Chronicle . An editorial and two articles detail the inadequacies and mean-spiritedness that characterize Straus and the NIH's lame efforts to address Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS or Chronic Immune Dysfunction Syndrome CIDS). The charges leveled at Straus and the NIH appear to lay the groundwork for a class-action suit on behalf of people with CIDS. . . .The constructive action that the editors recommend is pressuring Congress to remove Dr. Stephen Straus from his position as 'CFS expert' at NIAID. Straus is the leading proponent of a 'psychoneurotic ' theory of CIDS, and his research attempts to establish that 'chronic fatigue syndrome represents a psychoneurotic...

HHV-6 New York Native Flashback #8

"Straus's continued assertions that [chronic fatigue syndrome] 'represents a psychoneurotic condition' and that 'a history of affective disorders is frequent among patients with chronic fatigue syndrome' are rather inexplicable, particularly in light of some of the results that he and his colleagues report. . . . Indeed Straus appears to have an adversarial relationship with those very people whose illness he is trying to elucidate and ameliorate. He has written that, 'It is difficult and at times unpleasant to address the demands of such [chronic fatigue syndrome] patients or to test hypotheses as to the aetiology of their woes.'

Only one patient experienced nausea and discontinued the antiviral. Improvement occurred over the course of 3-5 months. Eighty-six percent of the patients responded by 3 months, and 92% responded by 5 months. Symptoms of fatigue, exertion induced malaise, excessive sleep, napping, unrefreshing sleep, headaches, cognitive symptoms, and emotional symptoms all resolved."

Two extracts from shiitake mushrooms act as immune system stimulators and possess anti-viral activities, according to scientists in Japan. LEM, an extract from immature shiitakes, and lentinan, which is an extract from the mushroom's fruit body, both appear to stimulate immune responses but differ in their anti-viral properties." --Neenyah Ostrom, New York Native , January 9, 1989 The New York Native 1980-1997 A 20th Century Newspaper of Firsts 1.
