The doctor/researcher heading up a study at a major medical center in northeast USA claims that viral dna is the only way to diagnose CFS. Viral DNA could include HHV6, EBV, and HCMV, for instance.
This researcher is the first doctor I've ever known to be making that claim. My relative has been diagnosed w/ CFS three separate times, by a doctor in California who was sick with it himself, by Dr. David Bell outside of Buffalo, NY, and by Dr. A. Martin Lerner in Michigan. My relative wants to get in that study because maybe this new drug will kill off his CFS.
I would so very much appreciate knowing of peer-reviewed studies who have researched and found OTHER ways to diagnose CFS, so I can look them up, print them out, and hand them to this doc.
He claims that Dr. Lerner's research on this is not published in peer-reviewed journals, so is suspect.
This relative has been flat on his back, sick and even homeless (sleeping behind friend's sofas) for most of the last 20 years.
Thanks for any help
