K. Kimberly McCleary (former Kim Kenney) is the
President & Chief Executive Officer of the CFIDS
Association, which was founded as a patient advocacy
organisation, to promote the interests of ME/CFS
patients.
Some examples of her leadership:
*) She made it impossible to change the, in the eyes
of physicians and public, already extremely
negatively branded name CFS.
While she took part in the Name Change Working
Group and the CFIDS Association supported the work
of this group, she suddenly wrote her article *The
Branding of CFIDS* (2003 CFIDS Chronicle article), in
which she promoted to REBRAND the name CFS.
*) With the help of her medical adviser, Suzanne
Vernon, she adopted with great enthusiasm the CFS
research program and the new *empirical* definition
In this definition CFS has become *unwellness*,
caused by childhood stress and a genetic predisposition,
which makes the person unable to handle stress.
[there must have been many cruel parents and
paedophiles in Lake Tahoe and all the many other
places in the world, with outbreaks of ME...]
Anyhow In 2008 Kim McCleary proudly announced on
her website, that:
"....More than four million Americans have CFS...!"
JACKPOT! [more and more *ME* patients are resigning].
The question becomes, then, is the CFIDS Association
promoting the patients' welfare or that of the CDC?
