Us as in the Whittemore Peterson Institute.They are doing the the oh so needed research to find a cure for Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS better known as CSF) the disease that is currently crushing the best wife of all. Even though Marie has may be 50% of the energy that she used to have, she is coping with it very well.
That is the crux of the situation, so far there is no cure, just coping mechanisms. The Whittemore Peterson Institute is doing the oh so needed research to find a cure. The following Washington Post CFS article by Llewellyn King has this to say about the institute:
The beacon of hope in this wasteland of human wreckage is a private institute in Reno, Nev. Affiliated with the University of Nevada, it is called The Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease (WPI). It was founded and funded by Harvey Whittemore and his wife, Annette. Their 33-year-old daughter, Andrea Whittemore Goad, has been a CFS sufferer since she was 11.
This is a complex disease and calling it Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is like calling Diabetes chronic thirst syndrome. It is influencing your heart, your digesting system, putting your whole body on a low energetic level.
Again from the article:
The most famous person to have CFS, and to have managed in great adversity to be productive, is Laura Hillenbrand who has over time written two incontrovertible bestsellers, Seabiscuit: An American Legend and Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival.
She wrote down her CFIDS story: A Sudden Illness — How My Life Changed very powerful.
I don’t like these schemes: “Like us on facebook and vote”, in this case I am making an exception as more research money would make such a huge difference for the million people suffering from CFIDs right now. Please endorse the Whittemore Peterson Institute. Especially as they are on second place right now. Thanks.
