I know of others who have chronic fatigue, but not CFS. I have a close colleague who struggled with chronic fatigue for over a decade - a pharmacist (not the countless previous HIV specialist doctors) noted that all his previous / current ARVs had a particular 'ingredient' - so suggested a different ARV (I think Isentress, I'll double-check with him today) and his chronic fatigue lifted. He no longer needs 12 hours of sleep a day.
I was not aware that sCD14 was indicative of leaky gut - but I have responded well to adding butter (and cutting way down on sugars / carbs). I'll see if I can get my doc on board to order the test, she responds well to research so...
I found your PR thread and link in my quick google search...

I see you couldn't find the San Francisco study, so I emailed the author - he's out of office until next week.
Thanks for heads up.
