Christine Hunter (Alison Hunter Memorial Foundation) |
Professor De Meirleir MD PhD, is from the Free University of Brussels, Belgium, where he is Professor of Medicine and Professor of Physiology and Exercise Physiology.
Prof De Meirleir has established a large CFS clinic and extensive program of research which includes autonomic function, and the RNaseL antiviral pathway. He is on the Board of the American Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and is a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Human Herpes Virus (HHV6) Foundation.
Health Canada appointed Prof De Meirleir to its Expert Medical Consensus Panel to review and establish a clinical working case definition, diagnostic and treatment protocols for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome published in 2003.
This seminar replaces ME/CFS Australia (SA) Inc annual Seminar originally scheduled for May 11, 2005. All are invited.
While he is in Adelaide, Prof De Meirleir will spend two days working with local medical professionals on protocols for understanding ME/CFS.
Cost
Gold coin donation.
Note from the president:
This is an unparalleled opportunity to hear an eminent researcher talk about the cutting edge of CFS research internationally.
So please – take a moment to think of anyone you know who might be interested in hearing him. The fact is that less than 10% of people with CFS in SA are members of the Society. That means about 90% of those who need to know will be getting our reminders about it. So pass on the word. Bring a mob on the night. Make it a party!
And PS: remind them not to wear strong perfumes or deodorants. And if they’re smokers – kindly ask them to come along a bit less relaxed but a lot easier for everyone else to be around. In short, ask them not to smoke before they come to the meeting. A little detail – but it can cause problems at these shows.
– Peter Cahalan, President, ME/CFS Australia (SA) Inc
