For Doctors, Consultants, Health professionals and Scientists - a brief introduction to CFS research findings

CFS is serious physical, organic illness as the extensive research from around the world (listed below) clearly shows. If you are a doctor, scientist, researcher or government official, you can acquire an excellent introduction to CFS in the following eight research papers.

1. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Clinical Working Case Definition, Diagnostic and Treatment Protocols (2003)

2. Abnormal gene expression involved in CFS (2005)

3. Dr. Paul Cheney has successfully treated hundreds of CFS patients in the USA.
