There is a very large study going on that sheds some light on

conditions like CFS and FM. It is called the ACE Study which stands

for Adverse Childhood Diseases. The study looks at the correlation

between unresolved traumas in childhood and adult health problems.

What they discovered in this study of over 17,000 participants is that

there is a graded correlation between the number of categories of

Adverse Childhood Expereinces someone has experienced with a whole

host of health problems in adult life. There is a facinating article

of the study at -

After reading this article I contacted Dr. Felitti and have a lengthy

meeting with him. During this meeting he mentioned that he felt that

the ACE play a very significant role in FM. This study opens up a

whole new vista of possibilites to be explored in finding ways to help

people resolve the ACE.

I hope you enjoy the article,
