hello and good at all in 2015; I wanted to give my opinion and my experience ...
I think there is a continuous global epidemic of ME, because the infections occur every day around the world ....
I am convinced of this because, I'm sick of ME for 30 years, I believe I have transmitted the disease to various people (family, friends, partner ..).
1) ME is not genetic, because people do not become ill relatives,
2) ME is not the environment because they are sick people who have attended exclusively outside of their homes or work ...
3) ME is not caused by a transient because people have become ill after 20 years of onset of ME on my body, in fact, my experience shows that the infection that causes ME is always active.
The history of ME is quite clear many local epidemics worldwide, professional groups most affected: nurses and school teachers, who spends much time in the same space with people potentially sick (sick children)
no longer hear talk of epidemics perhaps because the germ (virus) has been adapted to the host causing more moderate reactions
good night
