Thank you for posting this important news:
“...”Despite the heterogeneity of CFS, the diversity of factors that lead to this condition, our findings show that the cellular metabolic response is the same in patients,” said Naviaux. “And interestingly, it’s chemically similar to the dauer state you see in some organisms, which kicks in when environmental stresses trigger a slow-down in metabolism to permit survival under conditions that might otherwise cause cell death. In CFS, this slow-down comes at the cost of long-term pain and disability.””
Just a beginning, but now there’s a clear direction for research and perhaps treatment for this debillitating condition...and perhaps others.
You’re welcome. I hope this will cut down on some of the jokes and mockery directed at people with this real illness, mostly because it has a pathetic name!
