I haven't been able to get Vanessa Li out of my mind the last couple of days. It's too sad that she isn't here to see the results of all she did...

This is why people should not kill themselves, if at all possible. There's always the possibility that some seemingly improbable positive events happen.

100 % agree. And we already got rtx and cyclo as possible treatments coming up, and i guess ampligen and valcyte too..

I'm deeply impressed by the extent of the research program that Mady has outlined.

As am I. I think that the only thing that could hold this effort back now is poor inclusion criteria.

I was thinking of Vanessa too as I was writing my notes and posting the information. And I was thinking exactly the same as you.

Came across Vanessa's name a couple of time recently - in my contacts, on facebook. Stopped me in my tracks and moved me to tears. What a loss.

The sophistication of their program is impressive. They are looking for 1.7m viruses, and antibodies to them. And they are now delving into autoimmunity, looking for autoantibodies. That's on top of the proteomics and metabolomics etc. The amount of data they're going to have is utterly phenomenal. I've no idea how they're going to process it all. And they want to connect dots, to make associations between various immune markers and genes and signs of pathogens.

Yes, I am very optimistic about this. Seriously, I think the ME riddle will be solved within the next few years. With this amount of sophistication, the disease must show its trace somewhere, somehow.
