the so-called "empiric" or "new international" CDC definition of CFS is -
So let me make this as clear as possible. Five months after patients
pleaded at the CDC "stakeholder's" meeting that they change their
direction on CFS, Bill Reeves and James Jones remain in charge and
have altered nothing.
Four months after the IACFS/ME joined patient advocacy organizations,
patients, and experts in calling for an immediate change in the CDC's
program for CFS, Bill Reeves and James Jones remain in charge and
have altered nothing.
CDC continues to use British psychiatrists and Emory University's
Dept. of Psychiatry as their primary paid consulants on CFS, and Bill
Reeves has a position as an associate clinical professor of
psychiatry at Emory University.
You have one day - right now - to sign a petition protesting the
takeover of the CDC's definition of CFS by psychiatrists.
That petition, created by Tom Kindlon of Ireland, is here:

If you haven't signed it, today Is the last chance.
Sign it.
