The video above is a short presentation by Dr. Daniel Peterson, one of the pioneers in ME/CFS research and has been helping thousands of patients since 1984 who suffer from ME/CFS. Dr. Peterson was part of the founding board and is a past-president of the International Association for CFS/ME, a professional organization advocating for the interests of CFS researchers and clinicians worldwide and has received multiple Outstanding awards for distinguished CFS scientists.
Currently, he is working on certain pilot studies to seek a better diagnostic tool and a treatment for the more debilitating symptoms. In this video he describes the pilot study that NIDA is going to help fund.
This disease? Which one. ME patients need ME research and recognition, not ME/CFS or CFS/ME. This causes the political and scientific problems. Translational research is key. The goal is proper treatment. Exercise helps CFS and exercise intolerance is a feature of ME. They cannot be the same and we cannot accept CFS/ME or ME/CFS.
