Re-inventing ‘CFS’: The main characteristic of ME is an abnormally delayed muscle recovery after doing trivial things

Re-inventing ‘CFS’- the International Consensus Criteria for ME: the Marj Van de Sande Interview
  by CORT on SEPTEMBER 16, 2011:

 Marj Van de Sande: “When I had cancer in 1986-87, I got an upper respiratory infection and became overwhelmingly exhausted. Naturally I thought my energy would be restored after I recuperated from surgery; however, it was ME.”

 Dr. Ramsay: The main characteristic of ME is an abnormally delayed muscle recovery after doing trivial things, if you don’t have that, you don’t have ME

  1. Thanks for the link to De Sande interview.
    I normally avoid phoenix and cort because he has assiduously promoted the Fauci/NIH/CDC position redefining acute infectious ME outbreaks as CFS.

  2. You can reinvent anything you want, but you must not steal a scientifically accepted, WHO diagnosis, for your own benefit. ME is a specific post-infectious neurological disease with a signature abnormal muscle response to minimal activity. Neuroimmune fatigue is a pretty weasel word designed to cover all sorts of things, just like CFS, so the party can go on. The ICC protagonists make misleading and scientifically invalid statements. Shame on them for exploiting us all.
