eta2:
It would be good if someone could listen to his webinar and report back exactly what he is saying.

 

What do people know about the speaker?
It'd also be nice to know who is funding this.

 

Is that the same Pendegrast? It shows T as the initial.

I searched for Robert Pendegrast and found these links which match the location cited above (August, GA). Middle name Allison.

Think you're right, doesn't look like the same and the other article only cited the one I mixed up.

Nevermind, brain fart.

 

We understand.
Meanwhile I found these links about Pendergrast and I am NOT encouraged.

Who developed this webinar and arranged for continuing ed credits?

 

An advocate remembered Unger mentioning this webinar as one of CDC's outreach projects.

Hopefully, Pendergrast's views on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have improved since 2008.

July 2008 Health Letter-Energy Crisis

Following "conventional medical tests to exclude the possibility of serious disease", he recommends herbs, lifestyle changes, sleep hygiene and breathing exercises for the "virtual disability" of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
