GWS and CFS are autoimmune illnesses

New research is often ignored and stays unknown for many years as has been
shown thoughout medical history and as illustrated in the newest
"President's Message" from our winter newsletter edition on our website's home page
giving the anesthesia protocol that has been scientifically proven. This
problem is not unique to CFIDS/ME as illustrated by recently published
papers in other venues.

Gulf War Syndrome was proven to be an autoimmune disease in 2008 and the
work was published in the Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis which only
publishes work that has been fully replicated. The PDF of the published
paper can be found on our website and is entitled, "Acute Phase Phopholipids
Related to the Cardiolipin of Mitochondria in the Sera of Patients With
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Chronic Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CCFP), and
Other Diseases Attributed to Chemicals, Gulf War, and Marine Toxins".

There have been thousands of patients tested worldwide that were diagnosed
with "CFS" and "ME" that took advantage of the testing available for this
biomarker for autoimmune diseases until the testing was stopped just a few
months ago. Included in the research listed above were, of course,
patients with Gulf War Syndrome.

For better health,
