Want more CFS research?

Want more CFS research?
	Hold the directors of the NIH & CDC accountable for CFS funding Take Action! VLD Action Item #4   The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have different, but equally important, missions to improve human health. Both agencies support CFS research, but funding has dropped in recent years. Ask NIH director Dr. Elias Zerhouni and CDC director Dr. Julie Gerberding to do more to understand, treat and control CFS.

Did you know that, according to CDC, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) affects up to four million Americans and is as disabling as AIDS, MS and lung cancer? Did you know that this year alone, CFS will cost the US economy as much as the Bear, Stearns bailout ($25 billion), yet NIH spent more money researching hay fever?

My life has been affected by CFS and I appreciate the studies supported by NIH & CDC that have documented it to be a complex and debilitating illness that affects the brain and multiple body systems. However, the magnitude of CFS warrants that more be done.
