NOT: On Replication of WPI findings

It=B9s been stated that the blood from research came from patients


"fulfilling the 1994 CDC Fukuda Criteria for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and
the 2003 Canadian Consensus Criteria for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/myalgic
encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) and presenting with severe disability"

So any replication of this study must test the same cohort of patients. So
this research also validates & insists upon the use of the Canadian
Consensus Criteria.

Another thing to thank the WPI for.
