Find out by watching Dr. Fred Gill's TUESDAY 2/22 4 PM Eastern Standard Time talk on ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Is there a virus?)
as a part of the NIH series 'Demystifying Medicine' which is
"Primarily directed toward Ph.D. students, fellows, and staff, it is also of interest to medical students and clinicians."
The US National Institutes of Health not only provide the majority of money for medical research in the US (financed by your tax dollars), they also train the nations' most promising future researchers.
Dr. Gill lists the CDC Toolkit, a 2004 article by Stephen Strauss, CFIDS.org website, the Fukuda 1994 criteria, and the Reeves 2003 empiric definition articles as resources for the audience. By the looks of the slides, there is nothing related to the many biological studies done within the last 20 years. If this is what is being taught to NIH staff, it is no wonder no one is interested in researching ME/CFS. The NIH is supposed to be cutting-edge, not repeating the same information over and over again.

To watch live tomorrow or later when the video is archived:
Lectures are presented live via online streaming video, and recorded videos are available for viewing online within a few days after the live event. Both the live sessions and the recorded sessions can be found on the NIH Videocasting Web site. The lectures can be viewed online as streaming video using "Real Player," which is available as a free download from the Videocasting Web site.

(If you miss the live event, click on "Past Events" and look for it in the archive.)
[Drs. Lo and Alter are also presenting but their talks are primarily about XMRV and their findings and less so about ME/CFS in general.]
