This is an interesting comment in the NIH document from a 1959 publication:

..,."the evidence of parenchymal damage to the nervous system..."

Curious about that. Nobody seems to ever discuss parenchyma and I wonder about what this means.

Posting this on parenchyma from google

The brain parenchyma refers to the functional tissue in the brain that is made up of the two types of brain cell, neurons and glial cells.[7] It is also known to contain collagen proteins.[8] Damage or trauma to the brain parenchyma often results in a loss of cognitive ability or even death. Bleeding into the parenchyma is known as intraparenchymal hemorrhage.[9]

Hi Everyone
This may have been posted before,
Or Everyone knows.

Possible first detection

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK284897/
I thought about other things that could have been associated with the enviroment before 1934 and some things that were new to society and I found a few things close to the dates.
I am not saying any of these were factors, but it could be relevent?

And I am not saying that CFS was not around before 1934.

CFS Could have been around for thousands of years.

By the 1930s, radio was a staple in most homes, influencing culture and politics.

Television debuted in the United States on May 10, 1928

Plus more people were getting Electricity.

Gasoline was recognized as a valuable fuel. By 1920, 9 million vehicles powered by gasoline were on the road.

Maybe some of us are being effected by EMFs, or radiation?

Both do show research on causing cancer and may cause various neurological and psychiatric problems in people.

I am just thinking and that's my 2 cents worth!

"Many of these names were gradually rejected as new research ruled out various causes of the illness, including Epstein-Barr virus."

Ruled out by psychologizer Straus who did a crappy 37-day trial of acyclovir, then published the negative results.

(Negative drug studies are almost never published because they harm future research, which is exactly what happened after Straus got his published.)

There have been poor results of multi-year trials of valacyclovir for EBV in Multiple Sclerosis, yet the connection between EBV and MS is stronger than ever.

Hi Rufous
My Dr. is working on a referral so I can see a nephrologists, I plan to see if they can test for parenchymal.
From what I have been reading you can have it in any organ or gland or in all at once.
I do have some of the symptons for it in my kidneys.
I must have it in the brain too !
Because my grammer is terrible!

Hi
I agree, but we need to look at failures
Also.
Without failures we can't move forward.

Thomas Edison failed over 1,000 times on the light bulb, so he learned over 1,000 ways how not to make one.
