Dr. Davis' new test for CFS biomarkers should help (once independently verified), but there will probably still be people denying that CFS is a valid physical condition. Dr. Davis' finding that it's caused by something carried in plasma makes the solution quite simple: offer to do a serum swap with a CFS patient. Then the deniers can feel the symptoms themselves. ;)

I don't think Dr Davis and colleaggues are quite there with a biomarker but they are doing fantastic work.

The latest OMF new letetr said they had raised $1 million in April.

Look out for a paper from Robert Naviaux, the metabolomics/mitochondria expert at UCSD, later this week plus his CDC talk on Thursday.

Much to look forward to :)
