NOT, MED, RES: Game Changer - the WPI Retrovirus Study

The news had been in the air for the last week; the Whittemore Peterson Institute is going to publish something big - really big - on Friday. Then early Thursday the news was out - a retrovirus had been found in many if not almost all ME/CFS patients. The media had prepared themselves well - stories shot up on the Wall Street Journal, LA Times, NPR, Scientific American, etc. , It was big news indeed - after two decades chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) was back in the news in a big way.

Check out the stunning story of possibly the most important ME/CFS research study ever in 'Game Changer - the WPI Retrovirus Study - from Bringing the Heat: A Blog From Phoenix Rising.
