~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

> From: Cort

> via Co-Cure Moderators

> The February edition of Phoenix Rising is now

> available. In this edition (with a new format) we

> take a close look at an important event: the first

> theory paper on CFS by a senior Center For

> Disease Control researcher that I'm aware of. This

> paper suggests the CDC, for the first time, is

> confident enough about what they know about CFS

> to take a stab at explaining it. Given the CDC's

> clout in the small ME/CFS research world this paper

> is worth looking at closely.

> We also take advantage of the Dr. Reeve's

> testimony during the last CFS Federal Advisory

> Committee Meeting to take a broad look at the

> most prominent CFS research program in

> existence.

> The newsletter can be read at

> http://phoenix-cfs.org/PRCFSNewsFeb08CDC.htm

> While you're there subscribe to the most up to

> date, active CFS newsletter found.

> We'll roll into the big month of May with Dr.

> Friedman's three part interview; in Part I, Dr.

> Friedman, a past CFSAC member bluntly talks

> about the federal response to ME/CFS; in Part II

> he focuses on the research situation in CFS, in Part

> III: he talks about our progress in advocacy and

> what needs to be done.

> On CFS's 'Birthday' - International Awareness Day

> - on May 12th we'll have a special interview with

> the man who created that day, Tom Hennessey,

> the founder of RESCIND.

> Happy reading!!

From " erikmoldwarrior "

" A nation can survive its fools, and even the

ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.

An enemy at the gate is less formidable, for he is

known and he carries his banner openly.

But the traitor moves among those within the gate

freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the

alleys, heard in the very hall of government itself.

For the traitor appears not traitor - he speaks in the

accents familiar to his victims; and he wears their

face and their garments, and he appeals to the

baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.

He rots the soul of a nation - he works secretly and

unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a

city - he infects the body politic so that it can no

longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. "

Cicero, the famous Roman philosopher

and statesman, 42 BC
