ME specialist practitioner

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know of a herbalist that specialises in the treatment of ME or

has a special interest in the condition. Preferably someone within striking

distance of London.

People may be interested in a demonstration being planned in London on the

28th of March to highlight the condition of ME and to encourage more

research on it. (see below).

Best wishes Niki

Action for ME - Volunteers Needed!

Sunday 28th March 2004

We need your support with our final phase of the 1% campaign for dedicated

ME research funding. We're planning a visual demonstration in Westminster on

Sunday 28th March 2004. It will involve about 100 volunteers standing in a

line spanning Westminster Bridge. Each will hold up a board with a letter

made out of returned 1% postcards. The boards will spell out:

YOU CAN'T IGNORE THE FACTS. M.E. COSTS THE UK £3.5bn A YEAR. THE 240,000

SUFFERERS WANT JUST 1% OF THAT TO RESEARCH A CURE.

Afterwards postcards showing a photo of the message will be sent to MPs,

Medical Research Council, Department of Health representatives and everyone

who volunteers to help out. We will also approach the media to cover the

stunt and our petition for £35 million research funding. Over 20,000 people

signed up to the petition, which will be presented to parliament around the

time of the stunt.

Please pass on this request to all your group members! We know that many may

not be able to come along personally but it is a great way for friends and

relatives to donate their time to support the campaign.

If you are able to support us and would like further details please get in

touch with Amy Wootton (London Office Administrator): Tel: 020 7329 2299

Dear Niki

I treat many people suffering from M.E/CFS with a combination of

individualised environmental, nutritional and herbal med. And have had much

success in

recovery/symptom improvement. I myself had CFS for many years, so have much

empathy and understanding regarding the illness. I have also spent years

researching it and completed my Univ. dissertation on the subject in 1998 after

interviewing many complementary therapists, considered experts in M.E.

Niki, Lizzie¹s almost right ­ I have first-hand experience of ME but not of

treating it, as it happens, except of myself...certainly would be happy and

interested to do so if required.
