Ladies and Germs, Boys and Girls, we all hate people who say "i told you so!", but there really is only ONE person on this planet who called for the removal of the "F" word at the very first opportunity to do so.
which was the VERY first International "CFS" Meeting on April 15, 1989 at the San Francisco, Hilton Hotel. this was the very first meeting of so called "experts" after the truly awful "HOLMES CRiTERIA" published in the
Annals of Internal Medicine in March of 1988. this was supposed to replace CEBV for "Chronic epstein Barr virus, the Herpes virus that causes MONO. This was more than a decade before Marc Iverson, the founder of the CAA resigned and listed as his FIRST
reason, the damn name. and all the baggage that this included. He had pushed CFIDS for 10 years. He should have stolend CIND from the guy who came up with that. Iverson stole "lobby day" and "May 12th" from the same guy. and that his successor, KKK, wanted to keep the CFS/CFIDS moniker. YOU can find out who said that the name would cause misery and premature death for millions of people all over the world.

this same person said that we should all stop fighting each other long enough to work together and LOBBY Congress and the media for at least ONE day each year with things we have in COMMON with each other...that was called
CIND for "Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases"> Chronic means "of long duration" the other words are self explanatory. this same person was the one who linked Gulf war syndrome with M.E and CFS
on International TV in more than 125 countries on CNN on May 4th, 1991 on Larry King Live. This person then incorporated a non profit to promote MAY 12th, International M.E.and CFS awareness Day in 1992.
He included gulf war illnesses, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, M.E. and CFS, Multiple chemical Sensitivities, (which is now referred to as E.I. for Environmental Illnesse _blame the patient again) the government vermin
keep saying that "FMS and M.E. and CFS" are women's diseases, but gulf war veterans are 95% MEN> and they are as sick as many of us! So, go To RESCIND, INC's site and see who was correct FIRST and often!
