collaborated on at least 20 studies purportedly linking childhood trauma to
various diseases and conditions, physiological reactions and
depression/anxiety. Studies linking CFS and childhood trauma are
controversial because the empirical definition, perhaps deliberately,
selects tired depressed and unwell people who do not have CFS as defined by
the 1994 Fukada definition and the 2003 Canadian Consensus Panel Clinical
Definition. This confounds the results of the two studies done by Dr. Heim
regarding a link between people with the neuroimmune disease currently
referred to as CFS. Former Emory professor lands in Miami

An Emory University researcher, whose failure to disclose income from drug
companies led to new conflict-of-interest policies, will become the chairman
of the psychiatry department at the University of Miami, officials said
Friday.
Dr. Charles Nemeroff, an internationally known expert on depression,will
assume the post Dec. 1 at the school's Miller School of Medicine, according
to a statement by Miami school officials.
Nemeroff had been stripped of his chairmanship over Emory's psychiatry
department last December after the university determined he had not
disclosed $800,000 in speaking fees from the drug company GlaxoSmithKline.
Nemeroff has been the central figure in a U.S. Senate inquiry into whether
drug company payments to doctors and academics skew research. He had been
accepting money from drug companies whose products he had both reviewed and
promoted.
