Trolling in this subverse will get you an immediate ban without warning. There is enough room on the internet to troll without coming here to bother patients, caregivers and others concerned and interested about a very serious illness.
ANYONE promoting alternative therapies that have AMAZINGLY worked for you; think twice about posting here. I will NOT tolerate this subverse being used for your being able to come up with the answers when the absolute best of the best are working to research and resolve this illness yet have not come up with your treatment/cure. I will ban you for misleading and your possibly injuring very sick people.

An excellent piece. Wish they had stated entire name CFS and not CF in title but this happens regularly especially in UK or "crown" countries. I have noticed that abbreviating a name or poor English overall is a hallmark of journalistic reporting of much of the UK and UK psychiatry loves this poor habit as it has helped to sell this disease as CF and a psychiatric disorder.
