Speed of Mental Operations in Fibromyalgia: A Selective Naming Speed Deficit - Source: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, Jul 17, 2008
"Abnormalities in naming speed are an unappreciated feature of FMS...Clinicians would be wise to specifically request adding a rapid naming test to document cognitive dysfunction in FMS patients who otherwise appear to test normally, despite often intense complaints of memory and concentration difficulties that can affect job performance and increase disability.” [Source: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, Jul 17, 2008] |

Oxygen Toxicity as a Locus of Control for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Source: Presentation at 15th International Symposium of Functional Medicine, May 22, 2008
Dr. Cheney reports, “We conclude that CFS is an oxygen toxic state” (excess oxygen concentration in tissues) and “these findings appear to force a narrowing of potential causes of CFS because whatever pathophysiology one puts forth must explain universal oxygen toxicity.” [Source: Presentation at 15th International Symposium of Functional Medicine, May 22, 2008] |

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] |
