Reeves Is Out -- New Directions for CDC's Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Research?

This is such great news. Maybe now the CDC can throw out the BPS model of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and we can all stop being treated like middle-class saps with a lazy attitude and start being treated like people with a genuine biological condition.

More info here: Dr. Reeves Removed from the CDC's CFS Research Program.

The new doctor they've brought in is a virologist, which is particularly exciting given the current research on the XMRV retrovirus and its possible relation to Fibromyalgia and CFS (and other neuroimmune diseases such as Autism). More info on that here.

Exciting times, folks.
