Great panel... it really is great to see the panel and the compassion and dedication.
Appreciate the panel members and Ron Davis' participation and research update.

His opening comments [5:20 - 9:20 on video] are worth a listen; he notes the collection of vast amounts of data since his appearance in the film UNREST.

Data analysis is revealing patterns of heterogeneity in how ME/CFS is "expressed." He's still pretty optimistic they can trace it back to a single cause, however, hence a focus on cause not heterogeneity.

Hearing this I thought it might tie in with Step 1 of Dr. Naviaux's 3-Step Treatment Strategy presented at the Community Symposium:

1. Remove the CDR trigger if still present
2. Refill the metabolic tank
3. Use antipurinergic therapy

@Cinders66 I agree with you about the compassion and dedication. A stellar International Working Group of researchers, sharing data, involving the patient community, working collaboratively, open to input....so much to be grateful for!
