New Forum Software Installed (Still a few issues but reopening the forum) More details.
Only 35 years late. If you follow a politician’s statements for three decades, sooner or later they will make a favorable statement about a topic you care about.
Successful politicians normally get that adjective by exercising an ability to persuade a plurality of people that they are solving the problems the pol works to exacerbate.
Let me know when they defund and close NCCIM, the quackery promoting vanity project started by Tom Hayden (an wealthy old hippie) and a rep funded by supplement mfrs. In one year NCCIM burns through more $$ than has been spent on ME/CFS, ever, in the entire world. NCCIM has (to my knowledge) never discovered and proven a new or even improved medical treatment.

You don't want to know what I thought, at first glance, mfrs was an abbreviation for.
Knowing nothing about this, I set out to investigate. On-line information gives Tom Harkin, not Hayden, as the driving force behind the NCCIM, or its predecessors. This may not necessarily be correct..

Whoops, thanks. I didn’t check the name, just pulled it from memory. Such things tend to run together in casual thoughts. Hayden seems to have been a state assembly rep not a US Congressman.

Chuckle. Yes they are that for the most part. OTOH, some of the things I’ve found somewhat helpful are classified as supplements. They’d cost quite a bit more if they were Rx, and perhaps wouldn’t be available as Rx. Who’s going to fund full clinical trials for stuff you can’t patent?

To put this in perspective California has a population of ~40 million people, but only two senators. Both are supporters of ME/CFS causes.
