NIH has issued a new report on ME/CFS. Im just in the process of reading it now, but the following paragraph jumped out at me: >Numerous studies have attempted to identify risk factors for developing ME/CFS but a systematic review in 2008 of 11 studies that assess multiple predictors found no evidence of any definitive factors.11 This review is not intended to address the question of etiology nor underlying factors that lead to the onset or perpetuation of ME/CFS but rather to focus on the diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome. So far, there has not been one single study looking at whether toxic mold exposures are a risk factor for getting ME/CFS. Last year, I tried to persuade Open Medicine Institute to participate in a study on this topic and they acted like I was talking nonsense. If indeed toxic mold exposures (e.g. measured by the ERMI) were a risk factor for getting ME/CFS, it would change everything. Isnt it time? effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/ehc/products/586/1976/chronic-fatigue-draft-140922.pdf
