Re:Dr. Friedman on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Research: Roadbloc

[Guest guest]

Given these roadblocks, I cannot understand the complete lack of interest

(except

for Dr. Bell) in my locations theory.

How hard would it be to do a proper survey of even 100 of us who

have been to the Carribean and see how well they were there ?

My personal survey from 2001/2003 era shows that most of us were almost

back to normal health while there.

What I am not sure is whether this remains the case.

I wish a CFS group would hold a conference in that part of the world.

That should settle the matter right there.

I don't see any sense is this apathy.

I have been to the USVI twice in the last several years. I found the heat

and humidity extremely draining. I had more problems with shortness of

breath too because of the increased heat and humidity. For me, temperature

extremes are hard. I live in Chicago and find the winters unbearable. I

went to Hawaii this year and found the temperature and humidity levels to be

ideal. If I could just afford to live there! The Caribbean has an easy

going way of life that is a welcome relief to how we live our lives here.

In that respect, I could see how it could have a positive effect on life.

Oh well.just my observations.
