2006 Cheney Seminar DVD set: CFS: The Heart of the Matter

[Guest guest]

In September of 2006, Cheney, MD, PhD, presented a seminar titled " CFS: The

Heart of the Matter " .

A 2-disc DVD set of the seminar is available. The prices quoted below are in US

dollars and include shipping. ($13 - $16 within the US; $13 - $18 to Canada;

Australia and New Zealand yet to be determined; $16 - $18 all other countries.)

Many thanks to Marc Iverson for underwriting a portion of the DVD cost to make

them less expensive and thus available to more people.

This outstanding seminar contains important, fascinating and unique material

that will eventually be published. There is an overview of CFS, an in-depth look

at the cardiovascular issues in CFS; a new model of the illness, and a full

update on Dr. Cheney's latest study, including the treatment protocol. In

addition to the numerous topics mentioned below (taken from the jacket of the

DVD case), Dr. Cheney also addresses the following: sleep issues, blood volume,

candida, Chlamydia, Lyme, MCS, FM, GWS, phenotypic and genotypic changes in DNA,

hyperbaric oxygen, and the use of stem cells from umbilical cord blood.

Note that while there is a section on treatment that is approx 30 minutes long,

specific treatments are also mentioned in earlier sections and in the final Q & A

.. There is more treatment information in this seminar than in any previous one!

Exciting, effective treatment with objectively demonstrated benefits.

The following is an outline with some of the topics listed. It is by no means

exhaustive. Timecodes are given for the beginning of each section, making it

easy to locate particular subjects and also giving an indication of how much

time was devoted to each topic.

DVD FORMAT INFORMATION

The discs are not region coded - they are " Region 0 " , also known as " Region

All " . They are in NTSC format. However, according to

http://www.microcinema.com/index/ntsc, " all PAL DVD players output NTSC, and

most PAL TVs will display NTSC with no problems " . If your TV will not display

these discs, please contact us for an alternative.
