FEATURED ARTICLE April 23, 2008    Dr. David Bell's Thinking on 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. Why isn't it diagnosed, classified and studied like other kinds of mitochondrial disease? That may be "just around the corner."   ARTICLES, EVENTS, SOLUTIONS More new articles    Biochemical cause of muscle fatigue redefined; ME/CFS implications? Columbia researchers link post-exertion 'muscle fatigue' (and congestive heart failure) to calcium channel leaks into cells, not lactic acid, as formerly believed. They're now testing a promising leak-blocking drug. The Mind-Heart Connection: What Is Stress and the 'Stress Response'? Dr. William Collinge explains how our brain, muscles, heart, and circulatory system communicate in dealing with stress - and why techniques for creating a 'relaxation response' are the cornerstone of mind/body medicine for ME/CFS & FM. THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 25 - Live Chat with Dr. WILLIAM COLLINGE, PhD, ImmuneSupport.com Chat Room (3-4 pm Pacific, 6-7 Eastern) Dr. Collinge is the authority on effective complementary self-help therapies for ME/CFS and FM. He offers a wealth of advice on managing cycles and flares, sleep problems, physical challenges, stress & depression - and much more.

Omega-3 fish oil supports depression relief equal to results with drug Depressed patients receiving omega-3 supplementation experienced symptom relief equal to that achieved by the most-used antidepressant drug. But results with a combination were by far best. ME/CFS & FM variants of one disorder? This test differentiated them Sophisticated measures of cardiovascular reactivity to orthostatic stress (during head-up tilt test) clearly differentiated ME/CFS from FM patients.
