New direction for CDC?

The February edition of Phoenix Rising is now available. In this
edition (with a new format) we take a close look at an important
event: the first theory paper on CFS by a senior Center For Disease
Control researcher that I'm aware of. This paper suggests the CDC,
for the first time, is confident enough about what they know about
CFS to take a stab at explaining it. Given the CDC's clout in the
small ME/CFS research world this paper is worth looking at closely.

We also take advantage of the Dr. Reeve's testimony during the last
CFS Federal Advisory Committee Meeting to take a broad look at the
most prominent CFS research program in existence.

The newsletter can be read at

While you're there subscribe to the most up to date, active CFS
newsletter found.

We'll roll into the big month of May with Dr. Friedman's three part
interview; in Part I, Dr. Friedman, a past CFSAC member bluntly talks
about the federal response to ME/CFS; in Part II he focuses on the
research situation in CFS, in Part III: he talks about our progress
in advocacy and what needs to be done.

On CFS's 'Birthday' - International Awareness Day  - on May 12th
we'll have a special interview with the man who created that day, Tom
Hennessey, the founder of RESCIND.

Happy reading!!
