I created a wiki at http://cfspolitics.wikispaces.com/ to make a list
of all the current issues in the ME-CFS world to have on hand when
attempting to interest reporters/newspapers etc. in writing articles
on CFS and wanted to ask for all of yours help. If you felt like
updating it with what you think are some of the more important issues
from around the world I would appreciate it. I'm thinking it might be
good to just bullet point what you think are important issues which
can then be fleshed out, for example-
-CDC's 'Empirical' definition, heavy psychiatric influence on CDC
panels and workshops
-Insurance industry Conflicts of Interest among psychosocial lobby
members(this one would be good to include specifics)
-Lack of biomedical research funding worldwide
Just stuff like this, you can put whatever you think is worthwhile. If
it calls for specific examples that would help a lot, for example
exactly which members of CDC panels/workshops are objectional.
One specific request would be quotes by psychosocial lobby members,
with references. I know there's several papers written containing
quotes, if anyone remembers which ones they are that would help a lot.
Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Tate Mitchell
