• |
Phoenix Rising: January 2008 (external link) |
Here is Cort’s introduction:
Welcome to the January edition of Phoenix Rising. In this edition we take a look at two studies with broad implications for the infectious subset of ME/CFS patients. These papers – by the Dubbo group – compared gene activity patterns and important immune agents called cytokines – in people who did and did not cover from a serious infection. The results surprised them greatly and are not without controversy.
You can find this edition at http://phoenix-cfs.org/PRJan08.htm.
Phoenix Rising will be more topic focused in the future; future editions will look at the CDC’s new conception of CFS, Dr. Klimas and the Immune System, a stress response edition and more. Shortly upcoming will be interviews with author Martha Kilcoyne, a recovered CFS patient and Dr. Chia the author of the recent enteroviral study and more.
If the computer stays functional, a big if – it was down for another month – they will be coming up shortly.
Yours truly,
Cort
