Cell Associated Therapy for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Is this the Next Frontier? - Source: Presentation at 15th International Symposium of Functional Medicine, May 22, 2008
Dr. Cheney reports, “Therapy with low molecular weight peptides from cell associated, mammalian tissue homogenates appear to offer a significant benefit in CFS, especially where it counts the most, namely function. A 10-point rise in KPS score will change lives and the response over baseline function was shown to be highly significant.” [Source: Presentation at 15th International Symposium of Functional Medicine, May 22, 2008] |

ME/CFS as a Mitochondrial Disease
ME/CFS is a disorder involving the cells’ energy-producing mitochondria – but it’s a mitochondrial disease like no other, Dr. Bell believes. He explains why it hasn’t been diagnosed, classified, and studied like other kinds of mitochondrial diseases - and why a change may be “just around the corner.” |

Misdiagnosis of Serotonin Syndrome as Fibromyalgia and the Role of Physical Therapists – Source: Physical Therapy, Apr 17 2008
A case report illustrating how careful evaluation by a physical therapist determined that signs and symptoms weren’t consistent with Fibromyalgia – and further evaluation identified serotonin syndrome (serotonin excess within the brain and spinal cord, in this case from an SSRI antidepressant drug, which can have many symptoms).
