Patients attending a private medical practice specializing in CFS were diagnosed using the Centers for Disease Control criteria. In consultation with each patient, an integer on the Bell Ability Scale was assigned, and a blood sample was taken for the “ATP profile” test, designed for CFS and other fatigue conditions..... http://www.ijcem.com/files/IJCEM812001.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
