Slide 48:
Now, some of my frustration. These are two abstracts I presented at
AACFS meetings. AACFS is the American Association of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which
happens to be a very legitimate government research group. It is basically NIH physicians
and academic physicians throughout the country. At the October 1994 meeting, I presented
an abstract on NeuroSPECT findings in children with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Two years
later, this was in San Francisco, 1996, I presented "Neurospect Assessment of
Abnormal Distribution of Bloodflow in CFIDS vs. Autistic Children". I was comparing
the two populations.
What is very disturbing is at that meeting,
and we are talking very high level researchers, I made the statement that if you were an
adult with a mature immune system, a mature brain and this process hit you – be it
autoimmune, viral or whatever – bloodflow shut down – you had basically Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome, adult ADD, or variations thereof. If you were an adolescent with an
essentially mature immune system, not a fully mature brain, you basically presented with
attention deficit or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. If you were a 6, 7, 8 year-old child, you
presented with mixed, quiet ADD or variations thereof. And if you were 15 – 18
months-old and this process hit you, you presented with Autism/PDD. None of the
researchers laughed at me. But I want you guys to consider that that was a year and a half
ago. |
