I'm worried about that too,
my feeling is that they think this is simply "another" study about M.E.
Instead this is a much superior level of research that will be a milestone in M.E. research,
To search a cause in the microbiome does make a lot of sense,
ask De Meirleir! He is treating people trying to modify their microbiome and he has good results,
But what we need is a world class group of researchers to investigate this,
we had isolated clinician researchers doing hypothesis for several years about M.E.,
Did we have any results?
NO
They are good but NOT enough,
We need the best of the world,
That's what we have now,
Lipkin and The Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia ARE the best,
We just CAN'T miss this opportunity!
