More on ME

Thank
you for printing the quote from Sir Peter Spencer regarding the Action for ME
survey. However this is such old news, we could have told you this, years ago. What
is so sad is all the children and young adults who are suffering from ME.


There
are medical tests that GP’s should be allowed to do to see if enteroviruses are
causing people to be ill but they are constrained. This is not the fault of the
GP’s but our governments, in that education about the aetiology of ME is not
given to doctors. Instead they are educated in the psychology of the disease -
that it is all in the mind and in our belief systems.

Successive
governments have treated other diseases such as asthma, autism, Parkinsons, and
multiple sclerosis in the same way. People like us need your input to educate
the public about what is really going on in the ME world. Please listen to the
little people out there suffering ME and the carers – they know the truth.
