I was curious, how does this line up with Dr Klimas's group in Florida. I know they are trying to alter gene function as well...
This is all really encouraging stuff. I like to see the excitement in Dr. Ron Davis's face when he did his closing statements. I anticipate seeing Whitney being back to health in the next year to 2 years, as long as government red tape doesn't hold things up.
Think again my friend. Red tape? In the givsrnments eyes, there is no tape and no finish line. What do you think the useless time wasters have been doing to us with the B.S about mind-body for the last 30+ years?
The positive news? There are on going privately funded projects that will take 5 years from now to complete. The bad news? These are just the first main steps to complete which will bring some definate answers for CFS evidence based treatment. Many other studies then need to be designed, funding applied for, then completed. This takes at least 10 more years, just ask Dr Klimas how long large scale thorough studies to comprehensively prove a cause of CFS will take. She'll agree with me.
Reality is, it will take around 20 years from now just with tens of millions in private donations. Sorry to break it to you, but CFS is a medico political illness like no other. The NIH have done nothing for 20 years and never will. They ignore Ron. Think why. They can't discover what they helped spread by neglect.
The government will never fund proving an organic cause of CFS (to the level desperately required) because the people who allowed CFS to spread, are still alive. This includes the criminal liars who created the world wide ruse of CBT/GET who are already promoted and will only climb in power and stature politically to make them untouchable in court.
Science will only accept multi centre, multi country, peer reviewed papers on the cause of CFS (to demonstrate a functional cure) involving studies of 500+ patients at a time.
OMF finding the answer of what organic CFS is, will simply be held back politically as they know millions of educated wealthy victims want revenge, which means jailing the people who trapped maybe 17-100 million people around the world in a lie of CFS = mental illness. (NB: Majority of CFS aren't diagnosed or misdiagnosed as you need to be physically significantly disabled to be diagnosed due to no test available). This hides the true scale of the horror of what the CDC and others have done.
It's thus far more cost effective, politically, for each successive administration to let the CFS victims die out. They've done this since around 1969 -1988 depending if you believe ME is CFS. Either way, nothing will or can stop this. Only the rich will survive as they will bypass politics. The rest of us will all perish, well, those over 50.
You are aware elite CFS patients are already so much better since Mikovits was "wrong"? The patients with money take supplements that cost upwards of $1000 a month, anti virals, antiretrovirals, oxygen chambers, have multiple doctors their own nurses at home and all of this is out of our hands without a cheap, cost effective treatment.
All the government will do is sit on their hands with OMF breakthroughs just like they've done with Lyme and Autism. Think why they have the audacity to treat fellow humans like cattle. Why? Because they can, and humans unless well controlled, are ostensibly prone to evil when handed ultimate power. All the greatest psychology studies have taught us this.
What keeps us needlessly sick isn't just lack of Science but power. The power to deny us government access to appropriate levels of biomedical research funding and this happens for reasons none of us will ever be told about and will only surface in 100 years plus just like all the other scandals we hear about that happened at the time of our great grandparents.
The people who destroyed our lives cannot be defeated. They will retire with a flawless pedigree career, immune from prosecution and that will be that.
I wish I was wrong bit I'd bet anyone here a lot of apologies we'll all be sitting here in 10 years, watching Youtube conference updates, empty handed more sick as we age.
I love the OMF but they will be held hostage politically by the criminal elements in charge by blocking critical large scale funding.
