I have a few printed copies of this.....it is sooooo much better than anything the evil CDC has come up with.........if they were using this we wouldn't have half the confusion and defamation, ridiculously poor studies, etc etc that we have now.....and they wouldn't be "studying" the Georgia grp (the grp I am afraid they will use to try to replicate XMRV results)(the grp of people who have only been tired for a month w/o explanation - that doesn't even fit the current evil CDC definition, yet they are still trying to say they are studying CFS patients)
not to mention that the stupid UK video that luminescent feeling just posted (made in the UK re the lightning process) would never have been made either.....try "curing" someone with the Canadian definition by saying "stop", etc - ridiculous!.....and the main person they talked to on there had only been sick with whatever she really had for 4 months - again that doesn't even fit the empirical definition and yet they are getting away with claiming they cured her ME
it is bad enough when they use the empirical definition, but when they make claims of cures and do "research" and publish "studies" and the people they are talking about don't even meet the criteria for their own definition, that is just so appalling and irresponsible
like I have said before, a 5th grader could tell you so many of the things that are wrong with the "research" they have been doing - in no other situation would any supposed scientists/doctors/researchers/etc be able to get away with this
