Re: 100+ Page Summary of London CFS Conference

[Guest guest]

Also in this paper:

In October 2009, Klimas, Professor of

Medicine and Immunology, (then at the University

of Miami) and one of the world's foremost AIDS

and ME/CFS researchers said: " I hope you are not

saying that (ME)CFS patients are not as ill as HIV

patients. I split my clinical time between the two

illnesses, and I can tell you that if I had to choose

between the two illnesses I would rather have

HIV " (New York Times, 15th October 2009).

In the autumn of 2011, commenting on and

supporting the Norwegian study by Drs Fluge and

Mella that used the anti-cancer drug Rituximab

with good effect in ME/CFS patients (PloS ONE

October 2011:6:10:e26358), Professor Klimas said:

" Many clinicians fail to realise the severity of the

illness that has been termed ME/CFS. This is a

profoundly ill population "

SHE'D RATHER HAVE HIV. WOW! THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES.
