As you probably have seen, Dr Klimas is in the process of opening a CFS clinic. I think this is wonderful news, but the name concerns me greatly.
Below is a copy of the email I sent to the office at info@cfsclinic.com regarding the name.

Hi again,
I had emailed you earlier today to ask about when the clinic would be opening. Soon after that, I saw the podcast of Dr Klimas interview on South Florida today. Great interview especially liked the santa claus analogy. Good of them to close with the links to the research donation page and to the clinic.
I am thrilled about the clinic opening. Hopefully youll be the avante-garde of proper medical care for all of us with ME/CFS.
My one concern, and its fairly big, is the name of the clinic. Why would you use the term chronic fatigue, which is a totally different entity from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? This seems detrimental to clarifying what ME/CFS really is and to go against all that DR Klimas has achieved to date.
I STRONGLY urge you to consider changing the name before the clinic opens.
All the best,
