The Invest in ME Conference just ended a few hours ago. This conference brought new and exciting research to ME that is soon to be published.
Dr. David Bell discussed how the patients that he saw as children are now adults around 40 years old. Several have cancer, while others are still severley ill, but the majority are coping and say they are well but are actually still living with CFS.
Dr. Demeirlier continues his important XMRV research in Belgium and around the EU, finding many of the sickest patients positive for the retrovirus.
Dr. Mikovits showed more "footprints" of XMRV infection from the patient's immune system data and described how XMRV seems to act more like HTLV than HIV.
Dr. Bieger, a delightful immunologist from Germany, is doing exciting work with XMRV and EBV.
The rest will have to wait until the conference DVD is completed.
