Here's the link on FB.
I'd be in this like a shot if I was eligible!
Please spread the word to anyone at Dr Bansal's Sutton clinic.
As I understand it, Dr Bansal isn't running this study - that's being done at the University of East Anglia - but the UEA are using his clinic as a means of recruiting patients.
Anyone who is a current patient of Dr Bansal's at the Sutton CFS clinic (and particularly those who are house bound or severely affected) who has a solid diagnosis of ME and is interested in taking part in a research study about the role of leaky gut in ME patients (and whether this triggers immune system problems and inflammatory responses) can you please send me a private message here on fb and I can give you Daniel Vipond's number so you can be a research participant.
Daniel is travelling from the week of the 11th April to ME sufferers homes to collect blood and stool samples, but he only has such a small number of patients.
It has taken years to get this project off the ground and a huge amount of fund raising. I would be so grateful if more people can take part in this study.
We will ALL benefit from more bio-medical research doing into ME. Unfortunately, due to various protocols, any participants *must* be an existing patient of Dr Bansal's CFS clinic.
I really hope to hear from some of you. Please feel free to share this post anywhere and everywhere. More information on the study is available here:
