striking new CFS findings by M Maes

[Guest guest]

These are very welcome studies, but probably won't take the world by

storm unless/until others replicate them. I sure hope someone will

try. Maes states an impressive p of 0.0002 for the amount of NFkB p50

in " peripheral blood lymphocytes of 18 unmedicated patients with CFS "

vs " 18 age-sex matched controls. "

That's a hell of a p for a study this small. He may have found

something very robust here.

Not in the mind of neurasthenic lazybones but in the cell nucleus:

patients with chronic fatigue syndrome have increased production of

nuclear factor kappa beta.
