CFIDS Association of America

[Guest guest]

I don't know whether everyone here identifies with having Chronic Fatigue

Syndrome, but I know that a lot of people do.

I personally believe that everyone with CFS has mold illness but that many do

not realize it and thus, unfortunately, aren't doing any avoidance. Obviously,

that would result in their being very sick.

In any case, CFS is a disease that's getting a lot of media attention (it was on

the front page of the Wall Street Journal on Saturday). Since it seems at the

very least closely related to mold, it seems important to make sure it's

represented well.

Many people in the CFS community have become concerned about the ways in which

the disease has been represented. This recently has centered upon the main

official support organization, the CFIDS Association of America.

A petition from individuals unhappy enough with this organization to have

decided to disassociate from it is here:

A commentary I wrote on problems with the organization is here:
