He presents his mecfs theory, a vicious circle where inflammation keeps fluctuating between the brain and the periphery. He explains how this starts and what factors make it go back and forth. Some components involved is mitochondria, oxidative stress, hpa axis, inflammatory reflex, excess serotonin, cell danger responce etc.

The slides mention he is discussing these things with Gradisnik, Montoya, Fischer, Naviaux.
