Dear Friends,
I am glad to be able to tell you that an episode of my program, "White House Chronicle," which aired on PBS, PEG (public, educational and government access) and commercial stations last weekend, featured Dr. Walter Koroschetz of the National Institutes of Health and Dr. Zaher Nahle of the Los Angeles-based Solve ME/CFS Initiative. The latter is the chief scientific officer there.
The episode, which was filmed on the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD, just outside of Washington, D.C., is an examination and explanation of the four research centers for ME that NIH is establishing. This broadcast and the filming were made possible by Carol Head and the Solve ME/CFS Initiative.
Both doctors spoke freely and frankly about the obstacles -- including the lack of researchers and inclusion of ME/CFS in medical school curriculum -- and some bright spots in the quest to find a cure for ME. They spoke, for example, about how research on one disease, like multiple sclerosis, could crack open a closed door in another, like ME/CFS. Lyme Disease and its possible connection to ME/CFS also figured in their discussion.
The program runs 30 minutes and can be viewed on the "White House Chronicle" website. Here is a link to it: http://bit.ly/2ytghpR i.e. http://whchronicle.com/episodes/chr...en-in-plain-sight-white-house-chronicle-9041/
Here, too, is a link to the Vimeo of the episode:
I found the doctors' dedication and erudition to be inspirational. And I expect you will, too. Please share the links to the episode widely.
Kind regards,
