What a wonderful man !
This is an excellent interview on ME/CFS. Hopefully many GPs/consultants...will be able to listen to it.He mentions how ESR &CRP tests are normal in such people but how 17 cytokines have been found(number are higher in ME/CFS patients)...13 of which caused tremendous inflammation(in brain?) in their testing.
He speaks too about brain inflammation and cognitive impairment.Re treatments and the future Dr Montoya mentions how some patients recover with 3 to 5 years of treatment when herpes virus is suppressed with inflammatory drugs(which ones?).
He mentions too Cervical spinal stenosis(, also called cervical stenosis, occurs when the neck's protective spinal canal narrows due to degenerative changes or trauma.....description from web)in some patients.....compressed spine.After an operation these patients go back to normal.Re the future Dr Montoya is very hopeful now that the Institute of Medicine(highest body in USA)is on Board....and that ME/CFS is now being recognised as a "real disease"
Thank you Dr Montoya and NVTV.
