The Latest from NCF

www.NCF-net.org is adding a page to its website with relevant patents.

Did you know that in the early 1990s, Elaine DeFreitas found a retrovirus in the blood of CFS patients?  Her tell-all CFIDS Associated Virus (CAV) patent will be one of the first that NCF posts.  In plain English, anyone who says CFS is all in your head is almost 20 years behind the times!

There's also a patent for a neurasthenia virus, which produces leukemic cell types (a connection NCF is now researching) and one for a stealth virus/ciguetera toxin.

The truth about CFS is out there, and it's not what CDC wants you to believe.  There are plenty of websites that have the truth, which comports with the patients' experiences, that the problems "all started with a virus".  The incidence of mental illness in CFS is no higher than in the general population.

Anyone who wants to dispute whether CFS is a real, physical illness, needs only to read these patents.  Doctors who have seen actual CFS patients (as opposed to those who have only read about it or seen patients who were misdiagnosed) have repeatedly observed that they're sicker than late-stage AIDS patients.  Autopsies have proven we're not imagining things ... there's inflammation of the brain and spinal cord that can explain all the symptoms.

I don't care who tries what sort of torture to get me to change my story, I will continue to tell the truth: I was happy and healthy until one day in February 1987 I collapsed with a 105 fever and what appeared to be stomach flu, and I've never felt completely right since.  Researchers have found enterovirus (i.e., stomach flu) in the blood of CFS patients.  It adds up for me.
