MED, RES: Looking Forward - Dr. Peterson on ME/CFS Treatment, Research and the Future

*A Central Figure Speaks* - Dr. Dan Peterson and Dr. Cheney were the doctor=
s
on the scene as the most famous outbreak in chronic fatigue syndrome histor=
y
took place in little Incline Village on the shores of Lake Tahoe in the
early 1980=92s. Both ended up making CFS the focus of their careers.

A key figure, Dr. Peterson has always been something of an iconoclast; his
office has no website and is in the same building it was 25 years ago (but
is finally moving) and he puts out no newsletters or pronouncements yet he
is one of the most respected and sought after ME/CFS specialists.

During a recent lunch in Lake Tahoe he waxed prolifically about all matters
of ME/CFS including what he believes is the key test for the disorder, a ne=
w
and promising drug currently under study in his lab, another hopeful drug
under study, some hot studies underway at his new research foundation, what
he sees the future will bring (hint- it's promising) and what he believes
works and doesn't work when CFS patients advocate.

That's alot of stuff and there's more. Check it out in
