RE: Dr Lerner's Patent for diagnosing CFS

[Guest guest]

Kat,

This is very interesting. I read through the patent paper. He tied in

the cardiomyopathy with EVB and CMV infections in the heart. And what

was interesting to me personally is that I have the inverted/flat T wave

he described, in fact I had that in the early years of my CFS, when I

was not yet 'fatigued,' but knew my energy was declining. But then, he

says nearly all PWC have this. However, what is weird is that I do not

have titers for EBV and CMV, so if I have them they are dormant. Or

maybe I don't have them at all and have something else causing the T

wave problem.

This leads me to wonder if maybe he is making some erroneous

correlations. There could be other factors behind the T wave problem,

such as glutathione depletion. At least in my case. But he did say

this is only an explanation for a subset of the CFS population.

Thought provoking anyway.
