Pretty awful article imo.
Includes quotes from SC AfME, and the MEA making the psych vs physical point.
Also links to MERUK and the CDC.
Very muddled mish mash.
Not the best kind of 'awareness raising'...
CNN has published a story on its front page entitled Human Genome Project pioneer seeks cure for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to save his own son. The front page link features a picture of Ron Davis. This is the story referred to in the thread Action alert for upcoming CNN reporting. It's a long...

Somebody sent me and a few others this today, saying:
I haven't read it myself, thus far.
I saw this article (which is mostly about antidepressants) on the Human Givens Institute and thought it worth sharing as it is written by a psychotherapist...
I don't think this article from yesterday has been shared yet on the forum? Nice to see coverage from Canada.

Not a particularly bad article that quotes #MEAction a lot (The Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Action Network).

not very well written (a couple of half-quotes that don't make much sense).
Also, although it initially says a 'crippling rare illness', at the end it gives the 250,000 UK and 17m figure worldwide........'rare'??
