He has published numerous scientific papers in the fields of respiratory and cardiovascular disease.
Leonard Jason, PhD, is a prolific CFS/CFIDS/ME researcher. For more than a decade, Jason and his team at the Center for Community Research of DePaul University, have worked to define the scope and impact of CFS worldwide. He was Principal Investigator of a community-based epidemiologic study of CFS, and co-wrote the "Handbook of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome."
Lida H Mattman, PhD, has spent seven decades studying the different forms that bacteria can take, publishing the textbook on Stealth Pathogens, "Cell Wall Deficient Forms."

Trevor G Marshall, PhD, researched such diverse fields as cryptorchidism, male and female infertility, and subcutaneous insulin infusion (in Diabetes). Most recently he has deduced and published a bacterial pathogenesis for the Th1 diseases, including Chronic Lyme, CFS and Sarcoidosis. From this pathogenesis, a treatment called the 'Marshall Protocol' has been derived, and is being implemented by physicians worldwide.
