UK Debate over ME/CFS Categorization

[Guest guest]

1) For those that are interested in or are following the raging

debate in the UK on medical categorization of CFIDS/ME,

a draft response to the latest MRC committee document has

been posted. Sharpe & Wessely (the insurance company 'puppets',

IMOHO) are still in the forefront of continuing to trivialize this DD

as psychologically based...yet several notables, inclusive of Klimas

(Fla.), Kamoaroff (Harvard), Enlander (NYC), are mentioned in the

retort. There are many good medical citations in support of the

document therein.

2) For those who like to do searches on Internet for medical

issues of concern, the following resource is now available.

It also has a link to PubMed which has a lot of pertinent

references.

Warmest New Year regards,

As you will see, only the references are available but you should be

able to get the full texts by making enquiries with the relevant

publications or by clicking on the link below which will take you to

Pub Med. Pub Med is a database of research documents.

I hope you find this of use when challenging those who dismiss the

existence of decent research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME).
