Exciting Days for CFS Patients who keep pushing science to answer their questions! Lessons to be learned by Gulf War Veterans who are ill!
WE have 1-4 million in the US ill with CFS, more with FM, and 1 in four(at least) gulf war veterans ill from the first gulf war, and we have nondeployed gulf war veterans ill also. So I declare a war is waging now on our health that includes veterans and civilians. So we are Americans at War! WE also have an international population that is also affected! This is affecting the economy involving Billions of Dollars in loss of productive lives! It also involves a great number of people unemployed and dependent on VA or Social Security Disability or other means. It is an issue tht deserves this country’s attention NOW.
There is a news interview that you should listen to:

The dedication by a family that wanted answers led to the funding of the Whittmore Peterson Institute. Answers can be found if you have people with means and researchers that hear the patients!
It has been twenty years for Gulf War Veterans and has been longer for CFS patients. The need for these type of centers is highlighted. An integrated approach with patient care and research that is triggered by the patients, and then taking findings back to patients to make a difference in their lives! The VA has Centers of Excellence on MS and various conditions why not have VA combine with Civilians at Whittmore Peterson in Nevada for gulf war veterans?
Why not Center of Excellence on IBS with Dr Chia (Calif), Dr Tujeja(SLC VA), Dr Alvin Imaeda And Dr Fred Gorelick(VA Med Center West Haven Ct) all collaborating?
Why not Center of Excellence for FM and include Dr Patrick Wood (Washington State)?
Why not Centers of Excellence for CFS/GWI Dr Klimas Miami, Dr Bateman (Salt Lake City) and Dr Barinauk(Georgetown University)?
Why not Centers of Excellence re Neurological Testing (UTSWM in collaboration with Dallas VA) and other in California?
I can have a Vision and I can pray and hope that Civilians and VA can come together to make a difference!
