The relationship between fibromyalgia and major depressive disorder: A comprehensive review – Source: Current Medical Research and Opinion, July 2008
There clearly is insufficient evidence to suggest FM is a form of somatic or masked depression. Overlap is limited and neurobiological studies show important differences as well as some similarities. The full text - available free online - includes 144 footnotes, comparative tables, and a review of antidepressant trial results for FM. [Source: Current Medical Research and Opinion, July 2008] |

Medication-induced mitochondrial damage and disease – Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, July 2008
Dysfunctional mitochondria (the cells’ energy-generators) play a role in migraine, nerve pain, ME/CFS, FM, and many more illnesses, and antioxidant therapies hold promise. This article explains how the mitochondria function, and how many common types of medications are known to damage them. [Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, July 2008] |

How science can stigmatize: The case of chronic fatigue syndrome - Source: Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, vol. 14 pp. 85-103
Drs. Jason and Richman suggest broadening of the CFS case definition in U.S. & UK to include cases with primary psychiatric conditions may have contributed to diagnostic stigma, reduced likelihood of finding a biological marker and identified etiology.

Using Multiple Sources of Evidence to Reach Clinical Understanding of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Source: Annals of Family Medicine, June-July 2008
Patient and family physician interviews in Liverpool and Manchester, UK, found a consensus in both groups that the MDs’ education/training hadn't prepared them to diagnose & manage ME/CFS. Recommendation: “Training and continuing medical education for CFS could make use of the rich base of knowledge that patients with CFS possess.” [Source: Annals of Family Medicine, June-July 2008] |

Ionophore compound (PBT2) acts to disperse Alzheimer’s plaques in mouse models, Australian researchers report
Australian brain research collaborative reports that an ionophore compound (PBT2), fed to mice in special tomatoes, reversed Alzheimer's by detoxifying beta-amyloid plaques of zinc and copper, causing the plaques to disperse very rapidly. And recent clinical trials in human AD patients have been "promising." Some observers caution "wait and see." |

B-12 Deficiency in ME/CFS and FM May Provide Clues & Relief
In the quest for a “unifying theory” of ME/CFS/FM and related multi-system illnesses, two theories of biochemical cycle dysregulation have gained much scientific credibility. Research is revealing a connection between these complicated and misunderstood illnesses and forms of vitamin B-12 deficiency. |
